    Well guys after a week of haggling over the internet I finally bought my first Toyota vehicle and Tacoma. It is a 4 door, 4x4, trd off road package indigo blue. It was 30394 msrp and i got it for 26900. I went with the 0% instead of the lousy 1500 rebate. All i can say is I like it a lot. It's definitely not my rumblebee with a hemi but it will do. So i gave the hemi to the wife and i got a new truck for my birthday.:) I'll get some pics tomorrow and yes i realize this thread is worthless without pics!

    It is an 08, but get this before i was serious about the one in town i talked to a dealer in cincy ohio about a rugged trails that had 4,000 on it but they wouldn't budge on the price of 26991. I said screw it and then i found another rugged trails with 19 freaking miles on it in arlington texas at vandergriff toyota. It was being sold right as i got ahold of them at 25500. I shit a brick! Anyways it was a fleet model and they still have a few of them down there for a under 26,000 and one is for 24991 and it is a trd off road for those of u looking. It was either black rugged trails or indigo blue for me which narrowed it down to one. I can't believe what the used 08 and 07 models are still bringing. Its not even worth financing a used one at 3.9% when u can get one for 0. My neighbor just came over to look at it in the dark too...LOL!
