    Mugsy, I am with ya there. I was pre approved thru my credit union and it made sense to buy new. There's a lot of Toyota dealers in so cal and I had them competing for my business.

    Of course Cody,
    Get what you want and don't settle. It may take more time but it will be worth it.
    Good luck.

    Update... Went on carguru today, and the same 06' was posted for $15,999. Texted my rep at the dealer and asked why such a big difference in $ and she said "we had 2 different vehicles that had misprints".....? Idk seems fishy. Sure it was just the simple factnthat the thought they could get a young guy to bite on a "deal" quick. And i know i should just pass and keep looking but figured id see what you guys thought.

    Instead of painting the wheels, throw a set of third gen wheels on there ;) I picked up my set for 750 with brand new tires, then sold my old set for 350. Have fun with the new truck!
