Is this 08' tacoma a good buy?
2005 + Tacoma owners: What are your thoughts on this? Does it seem like a good buy? I will have the dealership install an OME lift an an ARB bull bar. S/C to come later!
Appreciate your input
I can get it for $28,966 + Tax only (No other fees)

That is basically the '08 version of my '05. I feel it would be a good price, some folks on other forums (ttora.com) might think that you could get a little better price, but it all depends on the market that you are in.

seems like a decent price. i paid 26k +tax/lic for my 2007 in May/2007. 28K for next years model seems like a decent deal. Remember it cant hurt to make a lower offer and then walk away...you can always come back. Try for 26, 800 and see what happens?

Nice bit of info here:
Hit up TTORA and do a search. The price seems on target given the Tacoma/DC/4x4 is popular truck. Everyone will tell you they got a better deal no matter what.
Make a lower offer as to what you think is fair and walk away. Let them know you are not attached to that vehicle. You'll be surprised how often they call back with the deal.
Here's one of the most effective methods I know of to get the best deal of the year.
-- Wait until Dec. 15, that's when the most generous incentives are announced. There are often three types then, factory to dealer, factory to customer and lease/finance incentives.
-- On Dec. 16, e-mail at least 10 dealers within 250 miles of you, should be easy there, asking for exactly what you want. Let them know that you're an informed buyer, quote the invoice price (from Toyota.com), the incentives available, when you intend to buy (by Dec. 31) and what their best offer is. Ask them to quote their best finance rate, too, but also let them know that you're pre-qualified and approved (but never for how much), then go get that done. You can find their e-mail on Toyota.com too, or Google. Of course leave your name, number and return e-mail.
-- Wait until Dec. 24 for responses. Most serious dealers will respond in a day or two. Then enjoy your holiday and don't respond.
-- On Dec. 28 e-mail the 3 low bidders and ask them to sharpen their pencil for a little better deal and for dealer cost on any accessories and service contract but don't buy the service contract.
-- That'll narrow things down further and then decide.
This method will save you countless hours and anxiety. Time is on your side, use it.
