Finally!

Been wanting a tundra for a while now. Finally got one. My story is one you literally can't make up. I live in TN. Negotiated a deal this week to a place in Georgia. Everything was fine, credit good, down payment etc.. Few hours later they sold it out under me because someone came in and wanted it. So i was not happy to say the least. Found another in North Carolina. Me and my wife drove there after work on a friday. Rented a hotel about 15 mins away from the dealership. Got up on saturday, drove there. Truck was abused by previous owner and i was beyond pissed they didn't disclose any of this. It was a 6 hours drive. Mind you, all these trucks are 2020/2021. So after nearly burning that dealership to the ground, went to a gas station and started looking online again. My wife found one in Alabama. Over 6 hours now from where we are in North Carolina. So started driving, wife is on the phone doing all the work. Finally get to the dealership in Alabama. Truck was set aside, got out and started looking at it. Finally, my future truck was a go! Beyond clean. 2021 Tundra. Tss off road package. 15k miles. She is stunning! Did all the paperwork and drove her back to my home in TN. From TN to NC Threw Georgia to Alabama and back to TN in roughly 30 hours. If You want it, go get it! Happy to be here. Pics were just when we were leaving Dealership.

 

Welcome and congratulations

That’s a lot of work for a truck but worth it! Props to your wife for doing the work. Sounds like a fun road trip.

Welcome.

 

Once im locked on to something i wont stop. I lived in Wisc for 7years prior to TN. Drove 16 hours south to buy my 02 Trans am. Yes, she's a keeper ( The Wife). She is a rockstar putting up with me and my Adventures.

 

Welcome from OKC! What a fiasco! Might want to surprise the great woman you have with a dozen roses and a thank you note this next week or so. The quality will be better than during Valentine's day week and you might end up getting lucky for a total of 3 times in thirty days before you start sleeping in the dog house due to the spending on new truck parts.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! Wow, that's tenacity!

 

Welcome from New Hampshire, congratulations on your new Truck.

 

Welcome aboard. My story wasn’t quite as crazy, but they were moving fast out from under me. Had to strike quickly. Also flew in to pick mine up. I gave a deposit over the phone and they held the truck for me.

Welocome and nice find ! I jumped on a used Plat 16 in 2021 because a used 17 Plat the month before was gone in 2 days before could even inquire about it.

 

I was rooting for a happy ending. She looks lovely.

Welcome to the Tundra Forums.
This sounds like what I went through.
In Georgia the dealers that I spoke to wanted to charge me 5k to 8k over MSRP. (Greedy is all I can say)
I refused to pay that.
I looked online and found a dealership in Texas. I placed the order, and in 1.5 weeks they said that it was in. I got a $99.00 1 way ticket to Texas, The dealership picked me up at the Airport. I completed the purchase and had a 2.5 day drove back home.
Here is a picture driving back to Georgia from Texas.
