Take your time look at all iocation, If you going to buy, Go to a credit union you will get a bettter deal .interest rates.Never financial through a dealership. Rent a vehicle you thinking of buying do your homework. Go online and check it out. In a dealership known what the four boxes mean.Dont believe the salesman only they are looking at is a profit. I save over $6000 on my vehicle because, i did my homework. I thank Edmunds and carbuying.com.This has taught me how to buy a vehicle. Plus one more important thing " Don't be in a dealership more 40 minutes .i remember one dealer had me there for more than 2 hours. They came up with a price on plain piece of paper .Showing the discount, I got up and walk out they said I'm walking away they told me , Im walking away from a great deal. I told you will not make a 10000 profit off of me.The next day went to another dealership, I was out of there within 40 minutes. And i save 6000 .Drove off lot vehicle pay in full. Got free rugs and years worth of oil changes. The other dealership call me for three days .I said can you me a deal better than the other dealership. They said , How much did you pay. I told them drop to 30k we got a deal. They said come in and we can talk about it. I said buy and i hung up.Best car buying experience in my life. I will never get burn or taken again. Sincerely Larry

Sequoia Platinum First Impression: WOW!

I've owned this vehicle for less than 24 hours and I have only driven it home from the dealership but that's 50+ miles of everything from Interstate to rough dirt roads, and winding, washboard mountain byways in between. On and off pavement, dirt, snow and ice, I have never become so comfortable, so "at home", felt so secure and in command so quickly in my almost 50 years behind one wheel or another. Also, I have never been in a car/truck that was so thoughtfully designed with the American motorist/family in mind. "Fuel Economy" and reliability just guesses at this stage, With apologies to "Field of Dreams and Iowa: "Is this heaven? No. This is a 4WD Platinum Sequoia."

We traded our 2002 Suburban for the Sequoia in Jan., 2008. With three kids and three dogs, we loved the automatic third row and hatch. It drives and parks like a dream. Within 6 months, tho, the a/c smelled like mildew. After four LENGTHY visits to the dealership who found mildew on the filter, multiple calls to Toyota (we purchased the extended warranty), we are extremely dissatisfied with the "customer service." There is a constant clicking noise under the cage, the hatch does not close all the way, and the dealer could not solve any of the problems. The navigational system cuts off when driving so passengers cannot enter the info. Our TomTom is more well designed.
Wow

If you want a Sequoia, it is here. This has all the bells and whistles you could want. Road trips are just easier these days. Enjoy the Lazer cruise control, the XM radio, cooling seats (more like a breeze). Just a better product than my '06. Love the red-stone interior. Although the second row captain chairs are so-so, I would have preferred the bench style which is not available in the Platinum model.
Very Happy

I traded in a 00 4 Runner and a 02 Mercedes C320 for the Sequoia. Happiest day was getting rid of the Mercedes and I tearfully left my 4 Runner. I have a 2 year old and one on the way, 2 big dogs and a 6' + hubby, while I am only 5'3". I drive approx 1400 miles a week (yes, really). I LOVE my truck. I am so happy with it AND I am really tough to please. I cheaped out and got the base model and I'm thrilled. It's even won my Dad over. I have learned how to dock it in to parking spaces but it turns as good as our Mercedes. If you are thinking about it, do it, you won't regret it. I got a license plate that says "In between gas stations".
