$26,700 for a slight used 2007?

Okay, so I got great advice from you all so far about changing from a 95 Pick Up to an FJ, and I found the one I want. USED WITH 9000 MILES.

Loaded Automatic, Titanium, roof rack, rock rails, 17" alloy, spare cover, Atrac, Locker, Instrument cluster, back up camera, 400 watt outlet, arm rest, tow package, back up camera, skid plates, floor mats, cruise control, leather steering wheel. No sub woofer.


Dealer wants $26,700 for it. Will give me $4500 or my Toy, which is high retail on Kelly's Blue Book. Seems like it's about $1000 high to me, but can't be sure.


Any thoughts? KBB lists this truck as worth $31000, but I know that is MSRP. Don't need all the bells and whistles, but seems fair. Most left overs are really expensive and totally over modded.

Thanks for input! Oh, this is in Massachusetts!!

Cheers

Re: $26,700 for a slight used 2007?

What are you thinking, offer them $25,400? I searched in a 100 mile radius and that is one of the better ones available without being over 16,000 miles, or really over loaded....at least in the color I want and trim mods factory installed.

I paid a little more than that for my 08.

Good luck!

Sounds too high. You can get better deals here in the for sale section. The reason they are giving you a "great trade in value" is because they are hosing you on the FJ!! Shop around a little more. You may have to sell your truck on your own but that shouldn't be too difficult!! Good luck!!

Re: $26,700 for a slight used 2007?

that's a lousy deal. I paid $26,900 in march 07 on a brand spanking new loaded 2007 model before tax and license. you should be able to get a brand spanking new 2008 for what those bastids are asking on a USED 2007 model.

I have to agree with everyone else here on this one. You should be able to find one new for a bit more. Paid 27,400 before tax for mine.
Hold out and get a new one if you're going to spend that much money, and dont get the factory rock rails! Buy a real set aftermarket!!

Too much. I'm looking too and have been quoted for 08's at or below that price with basically no miles so keep shopping. Plus, with a new vehicle you get a better interest rate.
