Re: Back from Dealer...should I buy?

My vote is to hold out for the 4x4. If anything for resale and value if you never plan to use the 4x4.

Re: Back from Dealer...should I buy?

Thanks to all who helped me in this decision.

I got the 4x4. It worked out to be $28700 out the door which is about $300 or so over invoice after all taxes and fees are included. They could not get the one at the dealer that they located so I am getting one that just got off the boat in Jacksonville. It will be here this Friday.

Also...I had only driven the 4x2 up to today. I drove a 4x4 just to be sure I was happy with it. It was a unique experience to say the least in that the dealer had an open field behind the lot they filled with sand and they used it to demonstrate the vehicles ability to get out of the loose sand. I would not describe it as offroading...but it the roughest I have ever been able to handle a car during a test drive. I was impressed that they had that level of confidence in the vehicle to not let them down.

Ok...now...where can I get the cheapest tire cover for the back? Any help?
