I completely agree; he got screwed. I believe the price on them started around 26K on his first purchase and went up a couple of thousand or so each time he traded it in. The dealers were marking up the 3.0 SR5s and people were dumb enough to pay it (the 4cyl ones were cheaper). I am not the one who signed on the dotted line so I am basically relaying what he told me; I am just the one who cleaned up the mess. Anyhow, this is my one and only experience with the company; nobody in my family ever purchased one again.
