Bought a Toyota Certified '05 Tundra double cab yesterday for $3,000 under book value. Got 23 MPG highway on the way home (Out of state dealer). 15K miles - best automotive deal I ever got.

The dealers are admitting that prospective truck buyers have completely dried up (except for me).

If you need a truck, now is the time to buy!

deals are definitely out there on the big vehicles, no one is buying them. On the other hand, a friend of mine went to the local Honda dealer and wanted to look at the civics, the salesman told him that they are in such demand that they don't have any on the lot, they had one , for show/testdrives, told him they would have to place an order if he wanted one.

Chris, sounds like you got a great deal on your Tundra. You'll love the Tundra. I bought an '07 Tundra in October, I love it. I actually get about the same MPG on the highway in the 5.7L Tundra as I did in my '98 Tacoma, but it still sucks, around 20-21 MPG.

RIO - 21MPG is sweet for a large truck!

Nice truck, my wife wants one of those now. I saw something on the web the other day about civics are selling above retail price now.

You can basically get a brand new Ram for the price of a used one. They through in a Hemi for free and give you about 6,000 in rebates. Wait until the new model comes out later this year and I bet you can get one for about $20,000. I was quoted 25,000 the other day. Not really looking at Ram's, but had to do all the research.
