I'd actually feel bad for sharing how much I paid. I work for a private company that has a relationship with Toyota. I got the fever Christmas day when I was searching on eBay (actually wanted one since they came out in 99). I called first thing Friday morning the 26th to discuss a deal. I explained where I work, made an offer, and was told they would likely accept. I tried to make a deposit over the phone but they couldn't take it. I setup an appointment to go test-drive that evening, and buy the vehicle (this was all yesterday btw).

Around 3:30 on the 26th, I got a call that another sales man had already sold he vehicle for their asking price on the lot. SUPER DISAPPOINTED. Though about it last night and realized it wasn't meant to be...I could just dump more money into my off-road toy that I've been working on for two years....

Then today, after getting in from buying more parts for this off-road toy I've been working on, I get a call that the deal fell through, and the guy couldn't get financed. I cancelled my evening plans, and drove 1 hour to buy it.

There are several minor issues I will be posting about inquiring on how to fix, but overall, I'm super happy with the vehicle....and I probably paid less than anyone would want to believe.
