Mostly a road trip vehicle but some 4WD and camping in the Tahoe National Forest. Keeping the FJ to haul shit and to do some inner city driving in suspect area and where parking difficult.
The FE I originally paid for still gas not arrived. It has been at Benicia port for a month now. I stopped by and inquired. They still say the third one allocated is mine and will not need a deposit to hold until July 1. It it supposed to arrive in late May. I told them that I wanted it but...
That happened to me too. I pulled the plug since I am traveling for most of the next 2 months and wasn't paying to have them put the vehicle in the showroom so they can sell more.
Life is too short to have never (insert here). Whatever your passion is do it now while you can. 15 months ago an uncle who spent his whole life talking about what he was going to do passed away having done none of them. Money wasn't the issue, I ended up with half of it. The income from...
After the fail with first dealership I now have refundable deposits at 2 local MSRP dealers. On one I am number 6 with 3 allocated already and the other 5. Since I will be traveling through June, one of the 3 should have what I want in July. Likely won't be a FE but will save $10k and make a...
Initially there is no incentive especially for an MSRP sale. Once initial demand wanes it should be fine. Whether that is before or after your dealer gets an allocation that you want is TBD. If it is a rare color you want that obviously makes it harder. I had a dealer do a swap to get a...
I have one that has been sitting at the Benicia port for a month. Since I am leaving for two months I pulled the plug on it. The sales manager says he will just go and sell it for $20k over MSRP. Will get one after I return in July.
Just got back from dealership and have my check back. They have no idea when they are getting any of the Land Cruisers. They offered by the choice of the original one or a trail dust one they were allocated this week which has a higher MSRP for the same price depending on when these arrive. I...
Pulling the plug on this dealership. What a bunch of clowns. Now they are telling me after the first of the month. They did off er me another they have been allocated to come in late June for more money because they want to get me what I want. I told they I will just buy from another dealer.
My sales guy is only capable of looking at the computer screen and hasn't made any calls. He keeps saying tomorrow. They have a deadline of tomorrow as I am heading out of town and will be mostly traveling by vehicle and overseas until July. If its not available tomorrow I am cancelling and...
None have left the Benicia facility yet. Paid about $3500 over MSRP. Had a couple good options trades so the money didn't concern me. Rumor is the company providing skid plates didn't deliver on time but there has been a lack of urgency,
That's how I got my MR2 a long time ago. To make the trade your dealer must be trading something premium so hopefully they do you right. With my MR2 I was looking for something specific and there was only one in the color I wanted in California. My dealership traded a Land Cruiser or 4 Runner...
The law changed years ago. It was due to the automated license plate readers on the bridges and highways. I didn't use one on my MR2 until I got ticketed for it crossing the Bay Bridge.
My rep has a new phone...... Got a call and was told it should be Wednesday. So far NONE have ben released from Benicia and he said a handful from Long Beach (one shown on another thread) so far there were released after 17 days. Wednesday is 17 days here. The Toyota rep coordinating this is...
If the sales rep wants to get paid he got to do his job. I want an FE but if I am not going to get to drive it until July I can save $10k to $15k and get an LC trim when I get home. Obviously, I would pick a different dealer in that case.
