newbie lookin to get a rig
I'm lookin to buy a 4runner used. I'm aware of the '99-'00 highlander and the e-lock, but unfortunately I can not locate one locally and i'm not excessively interested in traveling to far. In any case I was interested in opinions of what year 4runner to buy if I was go to put on third part diff locks. Thanks in advance for the help.

Does anyone have any good way of getting a car salesman to come down in price more than $1500. I'm looking at a 00 4runner sr5 4wd with 42k miles for 22,995 and I want to pay around 19500. Any Ideas would be much appreciated? thanks in advance.

call him on the phone tell him your only willing to pay 19,500 today, otherwise your moving on ... be polite though .. if he can do it, he will, if he can come close he will .. if he can't .. he can't
good luck

if your serious about only paying $19500. go get pre-approved, this way you can walk on the lot with "money-in-hand" so to speak, they will make it happen, or find what you want "today" being "pre-approved" at your bank or credit union helps ALOT... I second what My99 said.

When chatting with the salesman mention paying 5 grand on extra service contracts. Then after they drop the price "change your mind" on the whole service contract thing. Or, better yet, dont buy from a dealer. That'll lower the price quite a bit.

Thanks for all your good suggestion. I actually found that on yota's corporate website they give msrp for all used certified vechiles. This will give me the edge I need. And for all others in search of a Runner here is the line http://www.buyatoyota.com/

I think I may have found the one I want but I'll like to get some input on the price I think I can get in for 1500 less then the price asked. The question is would you do it? or should I keep searching?

Man those are some HIGH prices. Hit up eBay for some better ones...also check out autotrader.com . You can search by your area on both of those. I just watched a beautiful 1999 LTD down the street from me go for $14k. The average dealer price I have been running into is $19k of an SR5 cloth w/ locker. Go private party if you can and save lots of $$$
FYI: Lockers were an option on all 96-2000 - not just highlanders.
