I average 19.6 on my v-8. City and Highway driving.

I would have to agree, that is too much. The 4Runner SR5 V8 starts in the $40,000 CDN range (not including taxes, licence etc.). You did not say if that price was out the door ( with taxes) but I think $34,000-35,000 CDN would be a better starting point for a USED truck. Of course once you add the dealer fees and our extremely high CDN taxes, you will be getting close to $40K again. But it never hurts to make a low offer all they can do is say no. Good luck with your truck hunting.

BTW- if you take it for a test drive, roll down the windows and check if it produces a sulfur smell from the exhaust. I have seen a lot of posts stating this problem with the 20003 models.

$40,000 plus tax but freight pdi and all that other crap is waived on a demo. Also if you lease and are allowed 24,000 km/year, the residual should be lower becase in four years it will have 4(24,000) plus the original 15,000kms=111,000kkms.? or are you realizing that savings at the beginning of the lease because of the discount?

Thanks for the info everyone you have all been very informative!

Frieght and the rest is like $1000 Canadian. Not worth the risk, IMO. Plus, in 4-5 weeks when the new models come out, it will instantly depreciate several times that difference.

Oh - 15K on it? Demo by butt. They're either unsure of its history or are yanking you around. Read: ***USED*** 4-Runner. Adjust price accordingly as though it was a year old.
