Found a truck/SUV I really like today, and I'm 95% sure I'm going to buy it. It's a 2004 T0y0ta 4runn3r - I love the color, the gas mileage is better than the car I just sold, it's 4wd, and has an excellent reliability rating on several sites I've used for researching it. I took it out for a test drive today, and it was impressive. It's honestly the first thing I've driven since I've started looking, that I actually feel completely comfortable in. It has GPS navigation, a backup camera, high-end sound system, etc. Only two thing wrong (which may be why it's priced under blue-book estimated value); the tires will need to be replaced before winter (approx. $6-700) and the windshiled is cracked. This is illegal in my state, a ticketable offense, so I'm going to try to convice them to replace it. The tires I'll replace myself so I can be sure I like what goes on it. I came home straightaway and spent the last hour researching this truck, and have found nothing bad about it (aside from gas mileage - 16 city/20 highway, and it also requires premium fuel like my 1nfiniti did). The more I sit here thinking about it, the more convinced I am that I want it. Nothing else I've looked at, either online or in person, has really "spoken" to me, aside from the J33p, but that was $20k and there's no way I'm spending that kind of bread. Also, every other vehicle in which I've been even somewhat interested have all had reliability issues, according to the same previously mentioned websites.
Ok, so now I'm 98% sure! It will depend on what they can do on price, and the windshield issue. Maybe I can pretend to cave on the windshield if they'll drop the price a bit more!? I want to see if I can get them to around $9k out the door. Man... I hope they'll deal, I really want this thing! And yes, I *am* still able to walk away from it if they can't meet my price. I'll be sad, but I'll do it.
If you feel like it, send some positive vibes my way - every little bit helps!
P.S. Oh, and dangerspouse? I've got a '95 Sh4dow A.C.E. 1100 - I'm going to try to post some pics in the near future, since getting the new seat/saddlebags on.
