    Do it if the numbers are right for you, later you will struggle trying to get that baby seat on the back of the AC, with the DC you'll have plenty of room for 2 more kids

    NO MODS YET! 20" Enkeis with NT420 performance tires coming soon...inspired by genxer36.
    Impulse Red though? I like my 09 color better.
    I take it no one bought it because of its color and 33k price. Think of all the TSB service and recalls I got to do on it....lol!

    Anyway I already put refundable deposit on it with bank card so no else gets it. Won't make a decision till tomorrow. I have time this weekend to drive to the dealer and back.

    So till then I welcome all suggestions!:eek:
    Thanks

    Sry...OTD price = $23,112.86

    So, are you going to wind up making money on the deal or what? The Impulse Red isn't so bad. I'd take it over Radiant Red, but like you said, it's nowhere near as nice as the MGM.

    At that price you better be sitting down when they give you a figure on your trade in. They are gonna be wanting to make money somewhere.

    +1 I've got the impulse red and it is better than the radiant red. But if the MGM had been available, I would have jumped on it in a heartbeat.

    I've got an access cab and wish I'd gone for the double cab, :(

    Go for it...

    u have an 09 and your trading for an 08 for the double cab? why didnt u get that in the first place? someone who is married having an access cab is a waste anyway. you can do the trade but the amount your going to lose on trade in will more the make up the amount there taking off the price. but the question is if it is worth it to u. thats all that maters.

    You should get a refund from your 09 purchase and depending if you come out ahead or behind. You'll only pay tax on the difference if you have to pay more. If you come out ahead, you eat the tax you already paid. The state won't refund an already paid tax.

    It's all in my head at the moment...
    Didn't you sell your Ford like a half an hour ago and now you are up against the thought of selling an '09 to get an '08?

    You had a thread with huge discussions because the Toyota dealer porked you over so you went to Ford because they are GodLike folk. I must of dozed off because I wake up and you have an '09 Toyota that STILL doesn't meet your needs. What happened to the rant about doing research and homework and getting exactly what you NEED?

    It's your dime. I can see the dealer sharping his claws now waiting for you to show up. Do you have kids now? Is there any other vehicle available in your driveway now that can do the kid-taxi chore? If you are still in the family planning stage, you still have a minimum of 9 months before you're slinging diaperbags.

    When the economy tanks even more over the next 6 months ('cause it ain't gonna matter who the flip gets elected) you might get an even better deal.

    Good luck with your ventures.

    Now I remember how this all got started...

    To lock the thread where no one can harm you, Press and hold the on/off switch on your computer till the screen goes blank and then wait 6 months till you change your mind again.

    No need to lock the thread, Just don't knock on the door and "us" pissy Tacoma owners won't answer it. Just like on the radio or tv, if you don't like what's on,change the channel. Besides, if you lock it, you'll get an idea, start again ANOTHER "oh whoa is me" thread and we'll have comments and replies to that one too.

    I'm sure there is a much better class of folks on the Escape page. It'll be a great vehicle for you, in 6 months you'll want to Escape from it too.

    Had no intention to offend you. Apology is there if I did. Now with that reply, you definately did not make friends here.
