Checking out a 2009 TRD Sport today

Around here, I'm seeing DCLB TRD Sport 4x4's for $35-36k. So, $10k less for a 2009 with exactly the features I'm seeking was attractive.

 

yikes! try calling some dealers in tampa or orlando, and see what they give ya? the best price i got was at courtesy toyota in brandon

 

Heck, I'd be willing to sell you my IMMACULATE 2011 DC 4x4 Off Road white Taco with right at 8,000 (no zero's missing) miles. Windows are already tinted for your Florida sunshine!

 

Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, it's not green.

 

for those prices buy a plane ticket to somewhere else and drive your new car back

 

If I knew what city/state I could find the cheapest price, that's something to consider.

 

I don't know how the regions work, but it appears as if different regions get more of the double cab long beds. I looked for over 6 months to find one here (arizona) used and even new the dealers only had like 1 or 2 on the lots.

But every time I go to CA it seems that all I see driving around are DCLB.

 

Wow. As someone who just bought a 2012, I can tell you that average sticker prices for DC 4x4 TRD OR or TRD Sport here in my area were in the $30-32K area. (Although I was only looking at Magnetic Gray or Black)

Yeah, here in the DC Metro area, you almost NEVER see the DC long bed on the road, let alone at dealerships -- I actually thought they were extremely limited in production until I saw some in other areas while traveling and thanks to this discussion board.

 

SE Toyota is apparently very proud of the DCLB's with TRD. The $36k varieties tend to have the $1900 Entune option, which really does not interest me. If I end up going back to the "new" route, I'll probably have to order one to get specifically what I want. Not sure of the price negotiability factor, if that happens, though. I hate car shopping.

 

That is crazy!! How did you manage to get it so cheap?! Please enlighten me.

 

The '09 isn't exactly what you want. Tell the dealer you'll wait for the '13's so work that angle for a really good deal. I like the Timberland better myself. Good luck.

 

I have had my truck since Aug. of 08, and have only seen 2 other Timberland Micas running around Florida. I drive to Tampa every two months, Jacksonville a couple of times a year, and Miami or south FL every couple of months so I get around and I just never see them. Same story with most guys with TM color trucks. Very rare color so I am sure it will be hard to find used. I did like the spruce in person, but overall TM is the best! Good luck, it will be worth the wait if and when you find one.
