Default Well I think I am jumping ship......

I am going to trade my car for a new Prerunner Double Cab Tacoma. The Toyota dealer is offering me a deal I can refuse. They are going to trade me, straight across my car for a brand new truck. The MSRP on the truck is $28,500, They are taking $3500 off the price of the truck and giving me the same for my car. I have a loaded 07' IS250 with 30K miles.
I also have my car paid off and the toyota dealer is offering 0% interest. This means I can take the intersest deal and pocket most of the money I got from my car. I don't think I should let this opportunity pass me up. Not to mention I kinda want a truck again anyways. To me you can't have only a car, but you can have only a truck.
I love my IS250, but I think this opportunity has caused me to say peace out. Thanks for all the help guys. If I get into another Lexus I will return.

Tacomas are great trucks, and are the perfect "in between" size between small trucks like Rangers and full size trucks like Tundras. You'll love it.

As a matter of fact, I'm dumping my IS350, and will probably do exactly what you're doing. It's a matter of practicality.
