what should I purchase with a dealer 25% coupon?

I just got in the mail a 25% coupon from the local dealer for any one item and another for 20% off for another "any one item". I've got a 97 3rd gen 4WD 3.4 liter. The only stipulation is no TRD , A/C, service, or custom wheel purchase. Anything you guess have purchased and were glad you did from the dealer? Obviously I'm trying to maximize these coupons but with the no TRD purchase it kind of sucks. By the way, I've got right around 84000 miles on the odo and had the 60,000 mile service done at 53000 miles. Thanks for any input.

throw it away, its not worth anyhting, stuff you buy at the dealer you can get cheaper other places, unless you need OEM parts, but it sounds like you already got all of your serices done. i get 50% off on all my dealership purchases and i still try to not buy stuff from them unless NEEDED. the wheel studds i got were 4 bucks a peice (ussually 2 at autozone) after the 50% discount, that means they are 8 bucks originally

Make sure you price anything before you buy. Do they sell tires? How about a box of oil filters?

anything the stealer has been marked up 80% so your 25% isn't worth it.......
check pricing before you whip it out and use it.....

How about a 4Runner hat or jacket. The hats don't cost any more than they do anyplace else.

Thats what I like about this forum

you guys are probably right but I was thinking I will need another clutch and pressure plate sometime in the near future. My truck sees a lot of sand and off road here in Vegas. OME is the best to get for replacement from what I gather.

www.1sttoyotaparts.com is a toyota dealer that sells OEM and TRD parts for ~35% off true list, if your local dealers are like mine their list price is ~20-25% over true list, in other words if you order from 1sttoyotaparts.com (or similar) you will still save ~35% off what you will pay locally with your coupon.
