When will LC250 arrive Canada

Any idea what they’re using to justify the over list charges? Is it just straight ADM, or are they requiring you to buy extended warranty & tru coat & all that? Surprised today to see a nice WCP/Java LC Premium pop up in my marketplace feed. Asking $101K. Which surprised me at first until I recall all the 1958’s they want nearly $90K for.Lots out west too - at least 1958's. Seems every dealer in Alberta has at least one or two, advertised at $10k or more over list.
I know High River Toyota has added off road tires and other goodies, but I've seen some dealers who've added little more than 3M for their 10k markup. Fortunately, it appears most of these units are still on marketplace, so seems people are not jumping all over one another to pay over list.
It's 2024 FFS - why is over list price even a thing in Canada???
Ah that might make sense. The ads I see, for more than just the LC, will state that the dealer is licensed for example, but will never actually tell you which dealer it is. You can do some guessing & googling, but the vehicle listed on marketplace is never listed on the dealer website. Makes sense, probably for exactly this reason, get the ADM without raising red flags with the manufacturer or dealer associations. Still, marketplace is probably the last platform I’m using to message a guy about a new vehicle on.
Thanks for the tip, makes sense. I may not want to pay for the goodies they’re adding, but at least they’re providing something for the ADM even if it’s not stuff I value. The one ad I’d seen actually examining the pics & googling I think is High River. I may just throw the dog in the car & take a drive out there this morning with nothing better to do just to see what’s actually on their lot.
It is! Pearl white on black interior.
Got to pick up my LandCruiser Premium today and I have been in awe of how nice it really is. Got to drive a 1958 a month ago and it's night and day difference. Very little driving time (basically dealer then home) but couldnt be happier!
One surprise, my Premium package came with rubber and carpet mats along with both for the cargo area, and seat back protectors for the 2nd row as well.
As other have mentioned storage will be tricky, but a work in progress. Even the manuals didn't fit where I thought they should go. (Bottom shelf of glove box, only fit on top)
Be prepared to spend a lot of time fidgeting with settings and reading the manual, there is a ton of stuff I have no idea what it even is.
Fun times!
