I haven't bought a car since '05, but now it's time. I'm not real happy about it considering the state of the market right now, the advantage is definitely in the hands of the sellers considering the shortage, IE demand is high and supply is low (or at least, lower than usual).

I think I have my heart set on a Toyota 4 Runner or Highlander. I plan to get something gently used which is Toyota certified.

Any tips? Should I get the financing from a financial institution or through the dealer? Anything else I need to know?

From what I read a few months ago, in SA, used went up 26% and new went up to 29%. I have visited 6 dealers and those numbers don't seem that accurate. It may be because I was looking for diesel and that wasn't reflected correctly in the current rankings.
