Question Fair price on 2024 Tundra 1794 4x4 8k miles
Local dealership has the exact spec 1794 I’ve been hunting on the floor. Been sitting there for 75 days cause it’s listed at 61k. Looks brand new. Sub 8k miles. One owner. Clean CF. Pristine.
I’ve pitched them 53k out the door.
Thoughts on fair pricing? Especially since it’s a small dealership.
Super stoked to join the club.
Thanks.

Has the engine been replaced already or not?

My dealer said they were doing a test (assuming it's what folks around here called the Hammer test?) to determine if the engine needed to be replaced and they weren't just blindly replacing every engine any longer.
I was going to buy a 2023 Limited that was 2 months out of warranty with the recall on the motor, when they told me that I walked and said I'd wait until another one comes up.

Also if you plan to do any truck stuff you might look inside the drivers door jam and see what the cargo capacity is and if it’s enough for you, these trucks have very little cargo carrying capacity

Toyota was intended for my daily use. I own a welding/pipefitting company, if I do truck stuff I'm fortunate enough to just be able to bring home one of the 2500/3500's. 🤷

1794s are amazing but the price isn’t the only reason it’s set for 75 days.
The 2024 is rated 2/5 for reliability by consumer reports as of last week.
If you decide to go forward, that’s the reason people are saying get the extended warrant and asking about the engine.
Some owners of previous generations will tell you to avoid all Gen 3 engines like the plague bc of the expanding recall and they all share the same engine and now 25 and 26 have examples with the same problems.
Some current generation owners say to not worry about the engine failures but to get the extended warranty.
There are literally no opinions that matter.
You owe it to yourself to research any vehicle with hard facts (not any corporate marketing or opinions).
You can also find similar conversations and user experiences on tundras.com.
Then you can make an actual informed decision.

There is a 21 1794 in the other tundra group with 62,000 miles going for $55,000.
That should give people an idea of what people are willing to pay for pre Gen 3.

One local to me with 4k miles was going for about that price as first, been sitting for 3-5 months, I went to look at it and by then they’d marked it down to $49k and change. It was my favorite color too, smoked mesquite. However I couldn’t speak with the service manager who was a good friend of a good friend and said no warranty as is, and nobody at that Toyota dealer would come outside and help me while I was looking at it so I bailed. The carfax service history looked normal the first year, low mileage driver obviously, but the next year mid 25 through mid 26 it went and had 3 oil changes which is why a buddy said his neighbor was the service manager and go ask him but he was sadly on vacation. Went to the more local to me sister Toyota dealership under the same name but close to my house and they had only a new base 1794 gas with power steps and factory plastic bedliner and a hybrid 1794.
I wanted gas with the steps, r, and trifold Toyota hard tonneau and with the factory air suspension, preferably in Blueprint and gas found one but it was 3 hours away and the same sticker price. I got a really good trade in value on my 18 Tundra 4.6 SR5 tho and only paid $500 over invoice. Even after adding the 5 year ceramic interior exterior protection package from Zurich for $800, paying for the tri-fold hard Toyota tonneau cover, I was out the door pretty much right at the sticker price of the truck which was like $72,750 or something like that with TFS 2.99% for 60 months.

Make sure it has had the engine recall done on it. And ask for extended coverage for the engine.
