My recent purchase experience
Now is definitely the time to buy BRAND NEW! I found used FJ's with mileage in the 20,000 mile range for around $23k and was able to get a brand new one with better options for only a small amount more. IMHO, it is worth a couple thousand dollars to have a brand new 0 miles vehicle. I am so excited! Here is how my deal went down:
There are three Toyota dealers near me so I just called them all up and played the game. $500 below invoice was easy to obtain so I pushed harder and the results were simply amazing. I was TOTALLY prepared to walk away as there were three dealers with the vehicle all saying they will not lose a chance at a sale of the FJ. I even went to leave and they followed me to my car. Two dealers were going head to head right in front of my eyes via cell phone. I was totally above board and told both dealers what I was doing and they were both really cool. In the end, I took the silver because I was nervous about scratching up the brick and my wife was not 100% behind the tan. Part of me really wanted an 08 specific color but damn this Ti color os so damn good looking. Sorry for the long post but I am so fired up about this new beast! It looks killer with the off road package and convenience packages and I am SO glad that I was not forced into those upgrade packages for around $2800! Yes, I miss the passenger armrest and radio controls on the wheel but with the money I saved I can get a really nice stereo plus a bunch of other little upgrades. Please, get off your computer and go buy one right now. I have not been this excited about a car in a long time. The low price, reliability, perfect fit for two big child seats, performance and smoking good looks sealed the deal for me.
