    Hello Everyone and thanks for letting me join.

    I have been shopping for a Tacoma for a while and made my purchase 2 weeks ago.
    I found my 2013 Prerunner on a Ford dealer's used lot. I just happened up on it not
    having seen it in any ad. This was the 4th dealership my wife and I drove through
    that day just killing time looking at vehicles.

    As I looked the truck over I realized it was equipped better than what I had decided
    I would buy. The truck was in excellent condition inside and out with 51k miles.

    When I pulled up the dealer ad on my phone I was surprised to see it was listed for
    25.9K which I knew from all the shopping I had been doing was about 3K below book.

    Turns out they had listed it under the incorrect VIN. Not to bore with details I drove
    it out for the price they listed on the internet add. That was including everything.
    So I actually paid 5K less than book for the truck then tax tag and title. For the
    first time in my life I beat the dealership instead of the other way around.

    The truck is a 2013 Prerunner with the TRD sport package. I got the truck I wanted.

    I have already replaced the headlights and fogs with LED's and I plan to replace
    the rest of the lights as well. Going to get running boards as well as other cool
    stuff I have seen on this forum.

    This forum and its members is the best thing for a new Tacoma owner. Thanks

    I am 49 with wife and kids. I am an aircraft technician for the big airline here
    in Atlanta. I am also a gun nut and one of the admins over at Taurusarmed.net.
    Not sure if any members there are members here.

    Here is a pic of my new to me TOY.
