    LOL You saw the same thing I did.. Paragraphs chock full of rationalizations....The cellphone one really had me laughing..oh and the you are "not going to get the same trade value next year as today".....Well that's a bug Duh!!

    Don;t bother. When someone rationalizes a purchase to that extent their minds are already made up. Some people just don't realize EVERY single car and truck on the road is USED...to varying degrees but used and worth FAR less than new (especially ACV trade) nevertheless

    This is a classic switch and bait. The pic is of a TRD Sport but the info listed and backed by the VIN prove that it is just a regular SR5 with tow package. I hope the OP hasn't fel for this tactic.

    I got my 2010 SR5 DC w/ tow package for $27500, so this truck is way over priced.

    Thought about it but declined. All of the land around here is owned by someone so there would be no real need. The only thing I'd use it for was launching my boat, but the boat launches we use are pretty good. It was also in black and i didn't want another black vehicle. This one is almost too dark :eek: Scratches :eek:

    I stay away from Lakeside and Ray Brandt toyota...

    The same truck would have cost me over 30k and they wouldn't budge on price. Bastards!
