Price Opinions on a 2007 Crewmax?

[Bayou Thunder]

The lease on my 2006 Doublecab is up in a couple of months and I would like to pick up what would be my third Tundra. I have started to look around at whats available and came across a really nice 2007 Crewmax but think the price is a bit high compared to what a new one would run. The truck in question is:

2007 Tundra Crewmax SR5 4WD 5.7
Blue Streak Metallic
14,000 miles
basic options, sliding rear glass
Toyota certified

They were asking $29,990 but have it at $28,500 (on sale). This just seems high for this particular model, am I wrong? It has everything I need, and the big thing is the color. This will be my business vehicle and semi wrapped for advertising purposes, and the Blue Streak color works great with our logo. Any opinions would be appreciated.

You can get a brand new one for that price!

I'd probably pay 18K for that truck!

that seems very high for a 2007 SR5 Crewmax. I got mine over a year ago for like $26k with with 16k miles, talk them down at least a couple thousand.

Did you end up picking this up?

No, I am sitting tight as I think the price is out of line, even for a certified low mileage '07. My lease is up in August so I don't have to do anything until then, unless I find a deal I can't pass up. I will watch and see how long it sits on the lot. As the '10 models start to come in I am going to weigh my options then decide what to do.

If I could get the dealership to $26,000 would you guys bite?

The deal is good as long as you think it is good compared to what you can find. As I have seen here, it doesn't matter what you pay for your vehicle, someone could have always gotten it cheaper, in their opinion. I paid $100 over invoice on my CrewMax 4x4, when 4x4s were hard to come by, but several months later, people were buying them for under invoice. I cannot complain as my dealer policy is employees pay $100 over invoice on in stock vehicles.

As a reference point, trucks are actually selling more right now than they were last summer, and the values are higher compared to last year as well. Because of the current market, I am looking at selling my truck with it all dolled up for $29,500, and compared to ones that don't have the lift or DVDs, ect. that still looks like a good deal in my opinion, based on the others I have seen.
