    What was your experience with them? I might be purchasing a vehicle from them in the next few months.

    We actually just bought a RAV4 through them. Spent about 4 hours going back and forth but they finally met us on the price we walked in planning to purchase at. So pretty on par with any other I’ve had experience with. I will say they removed any mark ups, but if you’re looking at new they really won’t budge. We just happened to be lucky enough that they got a used one in that was what we wanted.

    I had no issues with them. I live closer to El Paso and shopped around for months and the salesman Will, at Desert Sun was the only one to follow up.
    Finance guy tried to bamboozle me with

    APR but was quick to correct and re work the numbers after I mentioned I’d get better rates from my bank and come back. He was quick to make the sale happen that day.

    No mark ups or anything at the time I bought my truck. Got it at MSRP.

    Good afternoon all,

    so i started a new golf program here at my school (SFIS), and looking for donations of any golf equipment that can be donated until we can get established.

    Hey all!

    Someone decided to steal my teardop from my driveway in Santa Fe last night so keep an eye out for a little silver teardrop with a white Ohio plate starting with SXS and a missing front wheel- they must have just chained/ lifted and dragged it away with the front wheel still on the ground because of the hitch lock.
    We have the VIN etc if any leads pop up down the line, also pictures of it without the decals added from the previous owner. Otherwise if you're in the area keep it as a note to lock up (or in our case triple lock) your toys while summer comes!

    **UPDATE- Neighbor has video of a ford full size truck taking the trailer; we will update with any new info we get of use.
    For now thats it, a Full Sized Ford Truck (no plate #'s yet) pulling a Silver Teardrop with White Ohio Plate starting with SXS.

    People from Santa Fe go over to the Jemez area camping a lot. I will keep an eye out for it. Had a travel trailer stolen out of a lot. I feel your pain.
    Will get a picture of the tow vehicle plate if I can.

    UPDATE: Trailer has been recovered!
    We got a tip from nextdoor.com that led us right to the trailer with a tarp over it. Did not seem to be the sharpest tools in the shed who took it; had some children's garbage in there and they started to try and spray paint the front toolbox/ covered all the stickers with aluminum ducting tape. Whoever taped over the decals didnt wait long after spray painting because they left black fingertprints all over the place :facepalm:
    If you live in Santa Fe near the Baca area or the Santa Fe High area i'd be happy to let you know where we found the trailer and the trucks to look out for.
    I went to home depot, ace, and, lowes to get a bolt cutter to remove the thief's bolt and they were all sold out so with summer coming tie down your things!

    Lots of evidence given to the detective including videos of it being taken and parked, still a lot of back and forth, we ended up going home, no update online or by phone so can assume no actual arrest was made

    Throwing this out there - if anyone has a set of takeoff oem shocks & springs (still assembled) from a 1st gen Tacoma 6-lug, I would like to try an experiment. If you have them, want to clear out your storage, or wouldn't mind lending them out for a bit, I'd appreciate it. If you're interested, I can PM you the details of my project. Thanks.
