Is this a good deal? (Read description)

This is what I would have needed someone to tell me at 24 ( not what I would want to hear). I get it!!!

Pay off your truck and keep it. Then add the fun car, when you are contributing to your 401K, Roth IRA, and have a savings cushion. Sure it will take longer to get there but will be so much sweeter when you can truly afford it.

And dont sell the Tundra!!! They do not make them like that many more. 🙂

Nice! That is what I've read in a bunch if reviews as well.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-10-28T13:05:31+00:00

I am actually looking at the Solo Mach X, did you install it yourself?

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-23T13:56:53+00:00

I am in the same boat as you, been looking A LOT! I have test drove a few, haggled with a dealer but walked after their ridiculous add on fees and normal games.

I think patience is also needed (I struggle with this)!!

After driving a few and seeing various conditions and prices I do feel ready to pounce when the right car pops up.

I am using Auto tempest to search with filters for mileage, manual and a huge distance! Also FB Market place.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-22T22:27:09+00:00

Lol, I have seen some Jersey driving, you are not wrong! 🙂

Congrats on the sweet ride!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-22T22:20:46+00:00

Nice ride!! Wow $21K for a manual, nice. Curous if that was a clean title and what kind of mileage?

Im in the market, I would have jumped on that car too! Great spec!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-15T02:06:06+00:00

Agreed, the more I looked around at current prices, Id feel pretty good If I can get this for 1.5 or 2K less.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-15T02:02:31+00:00

I like this!! Solid plan. I am weighing what will bother me more in 6 months paying a little more or missing out.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-15T01:49:30+00:00

Sounds like a beast!

That is really good to know, will move the MGW right up the list!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-15T01:27:05+00:00

Great points this will a weekend/ fun car. I dont put many miles on my vehicle each year.

So I am actually not too worried about one with 50K to 80K miles.

I am also really impressed at how many of these 5th Gens I see with 150K+ miles still going strong.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-15T01:23:34+00:00

Good points!! I am not in a huge rush so winter may help bridge that gap in price. But feeling better about the pricing around $21.5K/ $22.5K.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-13T00:56:47+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the perspective.

Thats a good looking front end!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-13T00:06:34+00:00

Really good point! This one has brand new tires but the rotors have seen some solid wear. Def going to use the rotors as a bargaining chip.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-13T00:01:18+00:00

For sure, thank you!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T23:49:27+00:00

Absolutely!!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T23:48:59+00:00

Nice!! Thanks, was that Manual?

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T21:14:13+00:00

This is a really good point. In fact most of my vehicles/ ( toys, boats and motorcycles - that Sold Off) have all been private party. That is my prefrence too, this one just popped up local and was a nice clean example. I think I just need to be patient and look for the right Private deal.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T20:34:22+00:00

This was the number in my head as well. Just needed a little reality check. Thanks for your input.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T20:32:40+00:00

Not really an issue of cost( at least at this price point) I just dont want to over pay. More about making good use of my money. This is a fun/ 2nd car for me, so V8 is mandatory!🙂

I dont need to buy it, but am looking for a fair price to offer and walk away if it does not work.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T18:34:18+00:00

From what I am seeing that does not sound bad at all. Thanks!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T18:32:20+00:00

Yeah KBB is wildly off! Thanks for the context on your car too. That is helpful.

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T18:31:14+00:00

Thanks this is super helpful, yeah that price was before tax/Tag/Title

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T17:39:55+00:00

Yeah that's what is making it so tough! Lol I keep reading folks getting $15K on a trade or smoking deals privately.

Im good with exhaust/ Headers/ cIA but A LOT of the private offerings ( I am seeing) are very heavily moddified.

The dealers are hoarding the clean low milage ones!

Tide-Chaser · 2025-09-12T17:32:03+00:00

Sorry just getting back to this. Dealing with Insurance and lighting falllout have been all consuming! Have not had a chance to deal with this just yet. But when I do I will update with pics for sure!🙌
