I know what you mean. When we bought the 4Runner they just got it. The people who owned it traded it in for a tundra. When we saw it, it was unwashed un preped and 4 bald tires. While we were signing the paper work they put 30x9.5-15's with all terrain tires on it cleaned it up and installed an ignition kill on it. At no cost for the tires and rims, but the ignition kill cost us but no labor cost. Now they keep calling and it's been 4 years and they still want us to trade it in on a brand new 4Runner. Reason being people want a 4Runner with a 5speed seeingt how it's not built that way anymore. And the 5speed was rare in the first place.
I was waiting for Ford to do some warrenty work on the car, last year. So I walked over to Dodge across the street, and looked at the 4dr Dakota. Whell the sales guy let me drive it and tried to talk me into buying it. He asked me to bring my car over when Ford was done with it. So I did and he went over the whole car, why not. He took his little sheet into the managers office, and then they came back out and he offered me twice the blue book value for the car if I traded it in then. Couldn't cause we were so upside down on what we owed on it.
