Happened to me a couple of times when taking a vehicle in for service at Toyota, the guys from the sales side would somehow wander over to the service side and tell me how badly they needed my vehicle for a trade in because they were such a hot seller used. :)
My dealership has had a set of 5 new takeoffs (tires and rims) from an OBX sitting in the lobby for $1199 for almost a year. I offered them a grand, thinking it would be cheaper than the cost of a set of new Bridgestones plus the mounting, balancing, etc. when the time comes. They said no...
I always said that for anyone who missed out on an EB, the 6G base was the closest thing you would ever get to the original. Congrats on the move. You will probably keep it forever.
My 17 year old son would kill for the chance at the $29k base model that was offered at release. Sad to see Ford has done away with the base and increased the price on everything in the process. Entry point for Bronco is now $42k after delivery.
The same thing crossed my mind too. I was thinking someone at the dealer signed off on it without doing a proper inspection and they found the damage later and it was too late to hang it on transport. The fact that they want to fix it is a good thing. Get it fixed and slap some ppf on that bad...
Agree on the doors. They should have gone full-on FJ40 with the rear glass and rear jump seats. They appear aimed at the teen/young adult market. It just feels like a Kia Soul type vibe. I'll give it a look for my 16 year old when it comes out. Low 30's it will be a smash hit - like...
I went to Austin a couple of years ago and didn't really see where you could get into much trouble. That being said, $75 is cheap peace of mind for if you turned the wheels too much and got against a tree or rock. Note, they did an inspection and had a sign off form for the end of the day when...
I used the Adams Advanced Graphene Ceramic - 2 coats. It is super easy and very forgiving. The black light kit helps you make sure you have even coverage. Followed up a month later with Griots 3in1. Spray on, wipe off. On top of all that, every few months hit it with some Geyon Wet Coat...
My wife has a deposit on a new GX, so we love the styling and the brand. I can see myself handing down my '21 to my son in a couple of years and getting the LC. I think they are going to kill it with their whole lineup when the 4 Runner comes out. Lots of fresh products. Lots to like about...
Over the last 2 years I have made 3 different purchases from Stickerfab and all 3 times were excellent experiences. On my rear emblem overlay they even threw in an extra with a note that it was just in case I messed up. Talk about over-delivering! BTW, I didn't mess up but I am glad to have...
I think it is an interesting idea. Surprisingly nobody thought to patent it sooner. A "juice pack" for vehicles has some very intriguing possibilities. Could you imagine swapping the battery pack out like you were going to a blue rhino gas exchange? Lets say you don't use it daily, but rent...
I have a deposit on one. Wish the hybrid was sooner than later, but the wife has been waiting for about 3 years for the re-design so this is the time. I really like what they have done.
Thats not where the GX has traditionally been. Toyota is great about keeping trim levels basic - 3 options. GX currently starts at $59k and the next two levels are about $5k each, topping out at $69k. I suspect a bit of a bump with the new '24 model year, but not as much as you are thinking...
Unbelievable that Bronco has like 7 trim and none are a true luxury ride. An OBX with Lux and Leather is the closest thing and it is pedestrian in the SUV world. The old GX was much more apportioned at a mere $5k more than my Bronco. I agree 100% with your assessment. Bronco is over-priced and...
