Stipple the door handles and gear shifter of course.


a Noveske sticker not only ups the value 20-25% but the horsepower as well!

I would also recommend you compare new Tundras in your mix, mainly because of incentives. You stated "2016 Tundra 4X4 TRD Crew cab with the 5.7 FFV V8. Yoda is pre-owned and under $40K with 26K miles (certified pre-owned, 1 owner)." The sticker price on a pretty well loaded 2017 CrewMax model should be in the mid-40s, and I have ALWAYS been able to negotiate at least a 10% discount, which gets you down to around $40k and you are one year newer and driving a NEW truck. As an example, the one below is advertised at only $44,766 and you can request the sales/discounted price via email, which could save some "haggling" time and get negotiations started. This ad is from Toyota of Newnan (toyotaofnewnan.com), where I bought my last three trucks. They also offer a "Lifetime Limited Powertrain Warranty." Just another thought for you to consider if you are not already overwhelmed!!

The link below should take you to details on this specific truck:

I hear ya, but this used one will be around $7-$8k cheaper than a new one after negotiating.

Also, internet prices almost always include available rebates and some type of dealer discount, so from MSRP you can get a descent discount off, but no so from an internet advertised price.

That lifetime warranty seems cool, just wonder how easy it is to void it (not servicing it a Toyota dealer or not at that exact dealership....etc)

ETA: a similar 2017 is $43k with an MSRP of $45k. I am sure there is another $1,000-$1,500 there, but that is still $6k more than the pre-owned one I am looking at.

$43,071 on Autotrader

Just putting it out there..... Atlanta has some of the highest car prices in the country.

I bought my F150, it's a CPO, 1 owner, southern truck for $10k less then what my local dealership wanted for almost the exact same truck.

almost meaning less then a thousand miles and sunroof doesn't = 10k in my book.

As stated, that was the MSRP and NOT the internet advertised price, so all incentives and discounts should apply. For me, I ONLY have my vehicles serviced at the dealership so they have full records. Plus, my warranty book is always dated/stamped and work orders are in the glove box. If and when I sell or trade, full documentation is available for all maintenance performed, but that is just the way I personally approach preventative maintenance.

I agree, if not there is a good shot the mileage has been turned back....

I understand, but that Tundra does not have the equipment I am interested in.
