Sorry if this a bit off topic, but I found it interesting. I found this in the original owner's huge folder of maintenance documentation. BTW, the city mpg is 16. Anyone want to know what he paid in total including financing for 60 months? A whopping $31,038!:screwy:

always good to see original documents in cars...original sticker prices are also funny to see...i think my Landcruiser was like $53k in 199

Holy smokes! 31 grand. Did this model came equipped with the power back massager with happy ending feature, and catalog option Vg12A (auxilliary snowmobiles with matching trailer)????????????:eek:

Wow!

If thats what they paid for '98 2wd S model I'd hate to see what the original owners of my LS 4x4 paid.

I know the last owners of mine got robbed (or would have if they had actually made payments). They paid almost 16 grand a year before I bought it. I got it from a guy that buys and sells repos for $5500. And thats with a brand new clutch, water pump, t-belt and tensioner, and windsheild.

$80 for door lamps and padded center arm rest?

Wow. Depreciation is killer.

Unfortunately that's about average for SUV's new, and actually, $31k is less then the norm.

I paid $22k for mine brand-new, with finance charges it was around $29K - never even thought back in '97 to buy a used Rodeo as we already had a '91 Rodeo and just went for the new model.
