Greetings folks

New LC owner here, since Tue evening. It's been 5 years since I experienced the joy of purchasing a new vehicle, and I still wanted to take a shower afterward. Some things never change. By the time we reached an agreement, my trade-in value had increased by over 4K. That alone should tell you all you need to know about how dealers operate. Not a single dealer add-on was purchased, but not for their lack of trying. I did manage to get free tire nitrogen, but I need to replace those green valve stem caps. I don't want anyone thinking that I fell for the magic beans. Thankfully there aren't any pinstripes to peel off.

So here's what I ended up with...

Land Cruiser 4WD Wagon Hybrid, Wind Chill Pearl/LB20 Black Leather

Premium Paint
Land Cruiser Premium Package
Liftgate Light
18” Nitto Ridge Grappler Tire Upgrade
Illuminated Door Sills
All Weather Cargo Mat

I'll get around to driving it one of these days. My daughter drove home, in the start of a winter storm. The LC has been sitting in the driveway, covered with snow. Hopefully some of it melts tomorrow, and I'll go out and pair my phone. Judging from all of the control options, I'll be pretty busy figuring it out. May have to break out the manual, and you know how guys hate to do that. I'm a retired engineer, and this forum looks like a great place to learn. Hopefully it'll save me from making some mistakes along the way. Cheers.
