After conducting an exhaustive internet survey of 2016-17 Tacoma's for sale across the state of Texas, we knew that Lithia Abilene's price on what had been their dealer lease vehicle was a true outlier, given its mileage, condition and CarFax relative to other comparable vehicles. I called Internet Manager Aaron Coker and had a very brief and amicable conversation which confirmed everything that I already knew, and I counter-offered just to make sure they were firm on the price. They did actually come down just a bit, from the price which, as I have already said, I knew to be lower by far than other comps. Anyway, total time on the three phone calls was less than 10 minutes to consummate the deal. Later the same day I made the 2-hour drive to Abilene to pick up the truck. I had told Aaron that I needed to be done quickly, and he and Michael Miziker (finance) performed again - they honored my request by not wasting any time trying to sell me add-on's and warranties, hurried the whole process along, and my total time at the dealership was about 30 minutes before I drove the truck off the lot.
