    Hi everyone
    I think I just scored a major win. I found a 2011 TRD Off Road Access Cab Automatic with only 704 miles on it. Went to see it a a Nissan dealer. They were asking $25,639 for it. We negotiated for a while but I really wanted it and didn't want to let it get away. They wanted it off their lot so we agreed on $24,900. I'm very happy so far. Still has that new vehicle smell and the frame and shocks still shine. Looks like it was never even driven in the rain, let alone off road. Here is a pic of it at it's new home.

    I'm really happy I got a decent deal because after lurking here for the last several weeks I now feel the need to add/modify. The tailgate theft fix will be the first modification and I think a cover for the bed will be one of the first additions.

    A simple hose clamp can act as a tailgate theft deterrent until you get a more permanent solution...if that's the way you want to go.

    Nice find, BTW! Can't believe anyone would buy that truck and only put that many miles on it! I've only had my 2012 for about a month and already have crossed 1K. Sounds like a great deal to me.

    Yeah I guess the original owner bought it last July and then died shortly after purchasing it. Last month the widow traded it in on a new car because she never drove it. Too big for her. At least thats the story the dealer told me.

    I feel like a sucker for buying my 2010 SR5 4x4 for the exact same price...but with 51k.

    Congrats though! That's a great ride and an unbelievable price. You could probably turn around and sell it for much more haha
