10k off is a good deal.

Edit: Don't get the 3.21's though.

Good deal to me. But if you can try and talk them down more, it cant hurt. I got 12K off my truck and also had a set price in my head of what I can afford. The number turned out to be better then I thought.

Good luck and do as much research as possible.

Is the 3.21 really that bad? Whats the major difference between the axle ratios? is it still a bad choice if i don't plan on towing anything, and just cruising? haha...thanks again everyone!
