I will be financing it so I will try to work them on every aspect like you said, but hopefully they offer something decent for july 4th.

they will. every dealer has a quota they want to hit on the holidays. the later you go in the better :)
 
What are you planning on doing with the truck, looks/hauling/off road? I am not a fan of half ton vehicles.. Is this a city vehicle for you?

only downside to this is its ealry in the month and these days months are all that count!
as an active honda employee i would try and sway you to honda, but we have nothing in this line.... ridgline is too overpriced... make sure you get a carfax!!!!

now dealers do set quotas for weekends, but they are more hopes that actuall goals... the end of month is best... if you go in last day of month in the evening, you can steal a car, assuming that dealer has not hit their goal already... it helps to have someone inside that dealer to give you the honest inside scoop.
best advise is shauns thou. set your price, start below it, and work up to it. if you try and work down from asking price your gonna loose.... they see that as money they are giving away vs. money they earned from you...
dont be afraid to walk away.... give a few hours (12-24) of cooling before calling back and seeing if their minds changed... maybe even go in the day before end of month.
Only downside to this is that each and every used car is one of a kind. if it sells, theres no "next car" waiting on their lot.
hope this helps!
 
thats key, walk away when you feel any miscomfort. and yes, if it was closer to the end of the month you may get a better deal
 
I ended up purchasing a new 2012 toyota tacoma 4x4 with the offroad and tow package. Thanks for the input guys. This will be my daily, but need it to tow my bikes around when going to the dunes and other places to ride. So far i'm very satisfied with it.

Awesome truck man. I like toyotas. I know it's a little late but for future reference, you should try to buy your vehicles online. If you're not at the lot, they have a harder time judging you and what they can sell a vehicle to you for. In the end, they still have to get you to the lot to sign off on it, but having done it through the Internet, it gives you a lot more leverage. I got my 07 Trailblazer fully loaded with 25K, they wanted 24,000 for it and I got them down to 19,000 before I even stepped foot on the lot. I'm only buying my cars online now.
 
CONGRATS! I am glad you are happy with your purchase, that is the most important thing! I hope they gave you a great deal :D :D :D
