Best time for used pickup trucks? by mattdurgin
Mar 22, 2005 (6:51 am)
Reply
I'm in the market for a used (2002-2003) pickup, and am looking chiefly at the Toyota Tacoma, but also at the Ford Ranger and Nissan Frontier.
 
I live in New England, where we are currently coming to the end of one of the worst winters in recent years. I assume this is the reason that there are hardly any such trucks available at dealerships.
 
Also, the few slightly used pickups that are around have inflated pricing. Some of the 2002-2003 Tacomas I've looked at were selling for more than the MSRP of a new Tacoma! Even after bargaining with the dealers, they would not come down more than $500 or so. Demand must be high.
 
Does anyone know a good time to buy trucks in the northeast? Will prices get more sensible as we get closer to summer? Any advice is appreciated.

We recently acquired a Pontiac Vibe. We cannot. however, find the 12 volt accessory outlet. Can you tell us where it is?

Inventory Levels For Negotiation Support by nascarqueen24
Aug 31, 2005 (8:39 am)
Reply
A good afternoon everyone:
 
Objective - Know as much about the supply/demand situation of a vehicle before negotiations
 
Subject - Is there a place consumers can get info on the inventory levels of a particular model? I presume the higher the # of days of inventory = the more intersted the dealer will be to negotiate.
 
Any assistance would be appreciated.
 
Kindest Regards From NascarQueen24
