    @NOS4A2-1 They look good! I think its going to come down to availability between those or Rubitreks. I like the option of white letters too

    I financed mine so I could get a discount on it after I confirmed there was no penalty for prepayment. Their finance guy was probably super pissed when I fedex’d in my first payment for the full amount.

    You're gonna love it. Don't listen to the naysayers about longevity as the Magnuson paired with the 4Runners 4.0 has a long and well documented history of long term reliability. Some have them and some don't ;)

    It is not about interest rate, I don't borrow money. I pay and forget.

    Borrowing money is not good for your emotional well being. Pay and forget. If you can't pay, then wait till you are able to pay. In the meantime, buy a 3rd gen. I have driven my share of crappy vehicles in life

    Met a smart kid and his girl friend on the trail the other day. They were 21 and had an 86 Toyota pickup. They said they were about to get married. They brought a smile on my face.

    Poor grammar aside, that seems to state you have no clue how finances work.

    Please explain how exactly you think not borrowing increases income.

    If you truly wanted to increase income, you would use the money to invest in something with a return higher than the interest rate you'd pay to finance a vehicle, rather than paying cash. The opposite of what you do is how to increase your income.

    I meant increase your income so that you can save and pay in full. If you can't afford to write a check to buy anything, you cannot afford that anyting. PERIOD!

    Well at least what you meant to say isn't quite as incorrect as what it seemed you were saying.

    In any case, just FYI, writing checks is not something normal people do to pay for anything, regardless of whether they are paying in full. Also, it's very possible to put yourself in a much better financial situation by using financial markets to your advantage.

    I understand your need to keep things very simple, and being able to pay cash for a 4Runner has been a a noteworthy financial achievement you feel the need to constantly remind this forum of. Congratulations on that!!!

    Most people are capable of much more financial success and security if they can apply the same discipline and don't refuse to understand how things actually work.
