Another great video from the Car Care Nut on buying a new or used vehicle.

He emphasizes not paying over MSRP.

Take it for a test drive for atleast 45minutes to an hour. Drive it at multiple speeds, on multiple surfaces and put it through its paces. Then take it to a reputable shop and get it inspected. Get it on the lift, tires off, good lighting to see if its been wrecked, go over every inch. Donk just walk around it and kick the tires. Its an investment. Treat it like one...

 

New 2021 4 Runner ORP available for $43,000 (paid even less, wife works at Toyota dealership)
Used 2019 4 Runner ORP w/ 30k miles for $39,900

Now this was right before the market went to total crap back in May or April.
Pretty much a no-brainer.
