Carfax is says nothing negative reported. It was Corporate fleet for 2 yrs. 8mo. then Personal for a 1 yr. 5 mo.

Oh and it has some kinda of black bar front bumper thingy....I don't love it but it's not horrible either. Some of the paint seems to be scrapped off on the front bumper too. Tear in the passanger seat leather......and it wasn't perfect clean like I'd think cars on the lot would be. I have not been in it yet...the dealer was closed and we are still planning on getting a new car in about 2 weeks....although the sooner the better! No price is listed anywhere that I can find.

hmm, sounds a little pricey to me given the mileage, but you know 4R's they supposedly go 300k without a problem. Course me calling this pricey is ludacris considering I bought mine for over 30K.

That would raise a red flag for me. Why would the owner of this vehicle not have these things fixed? How many people would drive a vehicle worth 15 thousand or more with visible damage. It would make me wonder what else has been neglected and needs to be fixed that you cannot see.

I don't want it better....I just want it in a 4runner. :p something tells me 10k won't get me there though.

Depends on what else you're offerin up to go with that 10K. Dont think that sweet smile is gonna cut it LOL.

Tip for you though, seeing your avatar pic, go find the young nerdy kid on the lot selling cars and ask to deal with him. Flirt like a mofo, and start with a rediculously low price. Keep flirting and he'll melt for you. Dress a bit slutty too. You'll get a hell of a deal.

I tell you this because I know girls that have done it and it works. Dont deal with the handsome, cocky guys (which most of them are) but hope there's a young rookie that will get flustered by a hot young blonde with tight jeans and a low cut shirt, and will do almost anything to make you happy, in hopes he can crawl into those pants too, short of losing his job over it. One girl I know bought the exact same car one guy I worked with, at the SAME dealership, and walked away with it for 2 grand less. That guy was pissed to say the least. :p

LOL! Seeing that avatar pic, i recommend making that pouty face while ur at it.
 
Pouty faces are my specialty. I'm the youngest of 6...mostly boys!

The dealership is kinda a good ol' boy one that sells a lot of 4x4 and trucks. I think most of the guys there are over 40.

My question is if I dressed slutty and flirted....would I respect myself in the morning?


PS- I can't sleep. :(

Are you kidding me, If i was a woman, I would use that "special ability" as often as possible. I've seen my coworkers get a lot bigger tips and friends get stuff for a lot less, including free. Its unfair I tell you!!! :sobbing:

You may not respect yourself in the morning, but you'll forget about it by lunch time while you're driving your new 4Runner!! ;):


You women have the biggest bargaining chip tucked away just below your belly button. Use it to your advantage, that's why you have it. :biggrin2:

You mean if you had that "special ability" you wouldn't me in front of the mirror the whole day? :girl: (j/k)


Ok....this thread has completely changed from what I originally posted for....and it's my fault......I blame the not being able to sleep.

LOL, um yeah ok, it the mirror would be a big temptation.

As for the 4Runner, I say keep looking, unless that "smile" of urs gets it to you at 10k
 
If you haven't driven it yet or seen the maintenace/repair history (or lack therof) its a bit too early to think about what to offer the guy. From your description its not in perfect shape so $12-15k maybe for an offer?
And oh, on the other topic, it goes both ways. Girls, pretty or not, can get ripped off too, flirty or not. I don't think it matters too much what sex you are, knowledge of the vehicle and a good strategy going in will get you a good used car deal no matter what intangibles you may posess.

I just looked at their wedsite and they listed the price as $18,971. What do you guys think?

Ok, so here's how I would proceed. First, I assume they got the vehicle from an auction. Assuming this I would take KBB wholesale value and add 500 dollars. That would be my starting point. I would then negotiate in 500 dollar increments. Anything smaller is negligible unless you are paying straight cash. I would also make as low of an offer that you can without being offensive and then walk away if they say no. Wait one week for them to call. If they don't, go back and negotiate higher. The way I see it a car is like a large toaster. You find the one you want and then find it for the cheapest price, period. There are hundreds of red toasters, just as there are red 4Runners. Even if you don't get this particular one there is bound to be one right around the corner...
