    Hey guys i was wondering what your experience was when you bought your brand new truck, how did the dealer treat you what did you guys first do when you had the truck, what motivated you to pull the trigger.
    pics are welcome!
    discuss.

    It was tough for me to get salesmen to come up to me. Being a 24 year old guy, they didnt want waste time on me. But they guy who ended up helping me out was a real nice guy and stayed late the following day so I could come pick up my truck after work.

    The fact that Tacoma's that are a couple of years old are barely cheaper than buying a new one is what motivated me.

    I had a good experience with CarMax. A lot of people don't realize that they sell new cars as well. You get a good price up front with no negotiation. Was very happy w/ them.
