    So I have been window shopping on line for tundras.. I use Autotrader for a lot of my window shopping. But I have noticed that carvanna finds some unicorns and they have very good priced compared to dealers. Has anyone else notice this or am I losing my mind in the window shopping .... Thank for the replies.

    Almost always I find that Carvanna happens to have the most desirable vehicles advertised. Strangely when I look further into it the vehicle is no longer available, but a bunch of other listings come up of less desirable and higher mileage and priced models. Maybe a coincidence maybe not.

    Welcome from up the road and man I have not been to Terre Du Lac in a long time but it brings back some memories for sure!

    What exactly are you looking for and which Unicorn are you talking about?

    I noticed this as well when I was shopping. Seems the good stuff sells quickly. I know quite a few people who prefer Carvana to the dealer experience. Can’t say I blame them.

    In my experience lately, this also applies to new Tundras. Lots of stuff advertised online that's already been sold to drum up clicks and calls.

    Don't forget CarGurus. I found my truck on there at a really good price.

    Well I think the notion of the Unicorn means that they didnt make many and they didnt make many because not too many were sought after so.......

    Maybe one guys Unicorn is another guys "why did they even make these"!

    Ya long bed is what I might get next or I might have to move up to diesle for my towing need but have not really had to cross that bridge yet. And I image fuel prices are going to be on the rise now.
