Well I finally started shopping for a 4 door Tundra and ran into these problems.
1. I was originally intending on purchasing a used 2004 until the sales guys starting running the numbers. It appears that these trucks are holding there resale quite well. So going with a brand new 2006 with the manufacturer rebate would only be about $2,500 more. The problem is I don’t want to increase my payments to cover the extra but I don’t necessarily want to cough up an extra $2,500 to cover it. But it doesn’t really make sense to purchase used with a great deal on a new model.
2. Here’s the problem I’m really having trouble with. Payments on a 2006 would be in the $550 range, However Toyota is currently offering a three year – 36,000 mile lease for around $800 down and $269 a month. It’s an unbelievable deal on a 06 Tundra SR5 4x4 with the cold weather package, towing package, 17” wheel upgrade, upgraded trim package, running boards, bed liner, upgraded stereo package, power rear window, and fender flares to name a few.
I have never leased and know very little about it. Any pros and cons that you can think of will definitely help my decision.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
