Just ordered my 2012

Got $22K trade in for my '08 DCSB TRD off-road Indigo Ink with ~42K miles. Getting 2012 DCSB TRD off-road in Nautical Blue with Entune and Leather/heated seats. They had to special order it (non in that combo in the system evidently) so it'll be between 60 and 90 days before I get it but I'm pretty stoked!

 

yay , Congrats!

 

Nice

 

Congratulations my friend, Good choice on the leather. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal on trade in, Any plans for this 2012 yet?

 

Sweet, I'm right there with you. can't wait to get mine home, 34 more days give or take.

 

Not yet other than weathertechs, K&N air filter, and console box ( all coming out of the 08). I did have the dealer to agree to switch the tires between the two since i have less than 2k on the BFG AT T/A KOs in 265/75/16. Much nicer than the stock RTs.

 

They will sell your 08 taco for way more. Hope you enjoy your 12!

 

Congrats and great deal!

 

Great deal. I love Toyota's trade-in values. (unless I am looking for a used vehicle, then it sucks). Great that you could swap you tires.

 

Congratulations! Nothing like the new car experience Why did you decide to trade?

 

Congrats, sucks the wait is so long. Its going to feel like forever!

 

Good trade.... I got 22,000 for my 07 DC 4x4 a few months with 51k. On 2011 sport my sticker was 32845 and I paid 29500 for the truck. The 22k came off the 29500. I was very happy with the deal.

Good Luck with new ride.

 

One of the reasons I consider the trade to be a very good deal is that I was rear-ended in June and spent 4 months in physical therapy. I just got the insurance settlement and it'll cover the cost of the upgrade plus some for the wife to do what she wants with. The '08 was my first new vehicle (other than motorcycles) and the wife said that since it was wrecked, I wanted to put in leather, bluetooth, upgraded stereo, etc. I might as well use the settlement to get a truck with everything I wanted so I've got the unmarred vehicle experience again. She isn't as comfortable with me taking the steering wheel apart to put BT controls in as I am since she's always a bit surprised at the stuff I've done before. Hey, she brought it up. Who am I to say no?
Also, I would have considered the 2011s but they just came back out with the color I wanted even if it's got a new name. As if that wasn't enough incentive, I REALLY like the Entune set up. The sound is great and I'm psyched about being able to use my Blackberry's data service via bluetooth. I haven't seen that on any aftermarket setup and think all company's should have been working toward this long before now.

Most importantly, IT LOOKS SO MEAN. The pics online don't do the new front end justice. They look absolutely awesome in person.

 

Congrats! My order is due in next tuesday. AC, OR, 6SPD

 

Toyota has a Shareathon going for another few days for any new Toyota's purchased in the last week. It's worth $1000 to a new buyer in addition to any dealer discounts (my dealer didn't even tell me about it!!). I got mine this morning, $1000 debit card is being posted out by Toyota.

Awesome. I have a twitter account but have never used it. Can you give a rundown of the steps?

 

Congrats on the new truck!

 

Congrats on the new rig, stinks that you have to wait so much though

 

Toyota releases 140 certificates each day at 8am PT (3 days left), yesterday these were gone in 40 minutes. Grab a certificate, put your name (needs to match your dealer invoice) and VIN number in. After this you don't need to anything other than tweet the Toyota message once. In 4 - 6 weeks Toyota posts you out a $1000 debit card that you can use anywhere. Other than buying me a huge Xmas present you are done!! Instructions are on the website.

I love the idea of the rebate but I won't have a vin until I get the truck in 2 to 3 months. Maybe I'll call the dealer and see if there is a way to get the number early...
