So go and haggle at a dealer and get a new one of the year with 0 miles for 27-29k before paying 24k for 5 year old model with 30k miles.

The colorado is also overpriced. I'm actually in the market for one from around 2005 or 2006, but I've seen them regularly available for $7-8k. Just need to sell my car before I jump on one.
Alaska is over priced, and there are 2 new ones at the toyota dealer and both are not what I want. And the TRD for 23000 is already pushing my budget a little higher then I would like.

a 2000 s10 with 150000 miles will sell for 9500 up here, its crazy!
