I had a deposit in Colorado very very early. Finally got to commerce city via train in late may but was damaged from hail. We left Colorado after being there for 2 months. They said they had another coming late July but I found this one 3 miles from my house. All worked out well after alll.
Just pickup my Fe in trail dust Saturday. Very happy itβs color. No wonder the ads always have Fe in trail dust. My wife is very happy with her choice.
I just ordered from auto heat shield . Has not arrived yet but they have good reviews. I ordered the roll up type but they also have the rigid fold type also. Shipping takes 3-6 days. Hope this helps.
Did you buy in league city? I was there today too and we asked to test drive but the salesman said it just sold. I think I saw you with your wife and child. They have a Fe coming in later today or tomorrow but wanted 7K for that package. Small world lchouston. Let me know if that was you. Thanks.
I think I had a deposit of this one but decided to pass because the deposit I had at another dealership got the trail dust. I was refunded about 10 days ago. The trail dust is coming next week. Congratulations it is beautiful.
I think the Fe is better comparison to the defender. I leased a defender and loved it but I was worried about long term reliability. Had 3 repairs under warranty over 3 years. Design and material in the defender was very good.
Just got my Fe in trail dust last week. I will not feel like a fool next year. I paid cash and will save 20K compared to those who finance. Everyone makes their own decision on price and value.
Allocations come early in the month and again mid month. No exact date just depends on the month. New allocation for this month should be here or coming within the next few days.
The problem in Texas is even if you tried to put deposit in August of 2023 they would either not take deposits or call you later to let you know they are going to add 10K to MSRP. Either way you will not get it at MSRP. I called FredHaus Toyota they said they will decided on price only after it...
Sorry I have absolutely zero sympathy for dealers. I was stating what I have learned over the years. I put deposits at 4 dealerships for the Fe because I have learned the tricks of dealerships especially Toyota. I have never paid above mrsp and never will.

Some dealers only want to sell in their market so they can service the vehicle after the sell. Dealers make more money in service than selling the vehicle. Mercedes dealer told they make 2 million dollars per month thru their service department. Itβs all about making money unfortunately.
Mine is the same too. My order date was 3/24 and my first use date is the same. I think mine is still at port in Long Beach , Ca. This is a very slow process.

You maybe right about values in 2-3 years only time will tell. But the future market will not support the ADM and add ons that people are paying to get Lc now.

Thanking you for sharing your 28 years of in the car business with us.
I was not sure about future resell value but great to hear. Like I said in earlier post I love the look of the Fe.
I think the price difference between Fe and Lc trim is about 5K. I really like the look of the Fe must better. When I think about more than halve the people buying the Land Cruiser will be paying the 5K or more in ADMs and add ons. I planned early for the Fe (August of last year) and got mine at...
I bet you the new 4Runner with Trd pro and trail hawk packages will come with markups too, At least in the first year. Any chance to gouge customers Toyota dealers will, especially in Texas.
