I guess I'll make it official. Yesterday the wife and I picked up a new 2007 4runner since the 0% financing was too good to pass up and they're trying to get rid of the 2007's. I hate car shopping. The last time we bought new we had a bad experience with Dublin Toyota in California. I hate sleaze ball car salesmen. So this time I negotiated over email between 5 or 6 dealers. This worked out great and the transaction went really smooth. This technique really showed me who was straight forward and who seemed like a typical car salesman. For example, one dealer kept evading my questions and insisted I come in to talk.
We ended up going with Earnhart Toyota in Mesa Az. The car salesman was J. Price and he was very straight forward with us.
Anyway, we ended up getting a SR5, V6, 4wd, white exterior, tan interior, with tow package, roof rack, side curtain airbags, 17" wheels, tonneau cover, and front window tint. It doesn't have the luxuries that my parents limited has, but it's light years ahead of anything else we own.
No mods planned right now, but eventually I'll add at least rock sliders, 110V outlets, OBA (gotta make use of all that real estate in the engine compartment), and maybe a slight spacer lift.
Sorry, no pics right now. It's dark outside. You can see interior pics in my other thread.
