2006, 120,000 miles, and I walked out with it for 10k... not 19k

Quoted:
Paid that for a '98 4X4 Limited 4Runner w/ 56,000mi that was absolutely pristine in 2006. Waved the cash under the sales mgrs nose and he swallowed it. Was traded in the day before, I was there when they opened next morning.  I may trade my scion for a 4 runner after this thread... damn this place cost me so much money |

You did great IMO as long as the regular maintenance has been done. Had an 06 Tundra that I purchased new and put 280,000+ hard miles on it. Not one problem – just routine stuff like batteries, brakes, etc. Best vehicle I have ever owned by far.
The first generation Tacoma, Tundra and Sequoia (actually any model before 2007 or so) were much better quality than the current offerings IMO. Look at a second generation Sequoia with similar miles as your 2006. I think that you will find yours to be better (tighter, fewer rattles, interior holding up better, etc). I believe that this was due to Toyota changing their focus and being obsessed with becoming bigger than GM. Quality became second to quantity. Remember the pedal recall fiasco? [/rambling] Congrats and enjoy your Sequoia!

You did great at 10k! How did you get them to come down so much? Well, other than 19 being ridiculous. It was a whole sale place and he didn't think i knew that. So I told him I was only willing to spend 7500, he meet me in the middle. I think its been slow for the owner for a little while the way he talked as we where leaving I dont think he was BS'ing me because I had already bought the thing and had title in hand. |
