Replying to: mainetraveler (Jul 03, 2008 11:47 am) Also do the same with competing Chevy and Ford models. The used truck market for 05s-07s could be astonishing if tried. With all the trade-ins repos and trucks coming off lease one may be surprised at how low below kbb *trade-in* value (not dealer retail) a good lo-mi 07 with remaining warranty could be had. Good luck --jjf It was to be a cash deal and yes it included the business owners discount. |

This will be my first truck I ever purchased. I hope you will help me choose the best deal with the best options. I got a quote for a Tundra Base 5.7L V8 Double Cap Long Bed for $27,142 out of the door including 0% (approved) for 60 months or 24,142 out of the door cash price. The price before tax and fees is: $25,328 with 0.0 % finance or $22,328 cash price before taxes and fees. The truck has only 46 miles on it. I drove it and it seems to be fine. Added options: Tow mirrors, upgrade styled steel wheels, heavy duty battery, starter, etc. Bed liner, carpets. I decided to go for the long bed because it fits the large Yamaha Grizzly (82") . Regular bed is only 78". Long bed is 90".

Banks also getting competative. Get a good low rate AND take the 3k rebate. (I think the rebates are better than that, check it out) Good luck.

Currently, in socal, if you opt for the 0%, there is also an additional $1000 bonus cash. If you bypass the financing, there is a $5500 rebate. You get either or, but not both. Get me the number on your truck and I'll tell you what I think.

Replying to: rlary (Jul 20, 2008 10:51 am) I have a problem with the Tundra. I made some research and found out that bed bouncing is a big problem with the new Tundra. You can watch few films from several Tundra owners documenting bed bouncing. This is the main reason why I am not going to buy a Tundra at this time. I may get the right price but the bouncing problem is a serious issue when driving on concrete pavements. I am actually considering 2009 FORD F-150. It may be available by the end of this year. What do you think?

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Jul 21, 2008 7:10 pm) The MSRP is $28,658 It has very few dealer installed options which is good. I feel the car has all the important options installed. Long bed, strong engine, tow mirrors, bedliner, etc. They may sell it for 20K. |

Replying to: aalsherri (Jul 22, 2008 12:36 pm) (tundra grade 5.7 short bed) but in the long haul, it is far better than ford or chevy. At 60k those ford and chevys start to turn into junk. That tundra will hold up. Yes, their is bed bounce, more than the others i'm told. Seems to be issues with tail gates, some 5.7's sound like diesel's (mine does, hate that) but all in all I would be hard pressed to lay down 25-30k on a ford, chevy or dodge. I have also read that a new, better set of tires greatly improves the bed bounce issues. Since toyota factory tires typically suck, their may be some truth to it. The deals on gas guzzling trucks are going to get better before they get worse. Shop around, drive the others, you'll see the difference.

Replying to: rlary (Jul 22, 2008 9:36 pm) I didn't give up the Tundra yet. I will wait for the Tundra 2009 model or 2010 to see whether Toyota address the problems with bouncing and frame weaknesses or not. However, I think the 2009 F-150 will beat the 2009 Tundra unless Toyota make a dramatic face lift. I am not really concerned about too much power as long as I have over 320 horses under the hood. I am concerned about longevity, performance, features, durability, style, etc.
