dealer went full potato, $47k taco

Stopped by a local dealer, they had 3 TRD sport dcsb with the "big boy package "
285 toyo tires
18 inch fuel wheels
lift blocks on the rear
spacers on the front
side steps that looked like smittybuilts
and a light bar on the front bumper with 2 auxiliary lights.
for a low low price of $47,500, plus tax tags titles and destination fees

 

For a way,way overpriced Tacoma in my opinion!Even if someone purchased the truck and was able to negotiate a lower price the dealer has already marked up the truck without the aftermarket to make a profit and we all understand that.With the upgraded parts they'll just profit more.

 

blocks and spacers? bahahah

 

$33,000
- $500 for not clearancing 285 tires
- $500 for ridiculous 18" wheels
- $2,500 for ruining suspension with spacers and blocks
+ $350 for steps (- $500 if buyer wants to ever leave pavement)
+ 400 for light bar
------------------------------
$30,259

Looks like they are over $17K off the mark.

 

Some poor sap is gonna buy one, then join tw and feel like a tool

 

great then ill have to pretend to feel bad for him

 

They should add a 6K clear wrap and paint the tails black before posting here

 

Ouch...

 

No, this is full potato. At least there are some good parts on the truck, but 90K off the lot plus tax is just insane:

....At that price might as well get a Tundra!!...

 

That's just plain stupid.

A while back I inquired about Icon 2.0 resi's for the rear of my truck. They wanted $735 CAD shipped.

 

They are a good dealer on somethings. They installed and supplied my TRD S/C for $6250 CAD taxes in which is about $1K lower than anyone else will go in Canada. Some other things they are out to lunch though. The guy in the parts department does do a really good job answering questions though so I would say, other than some of the prices, they are a good place to buy from.

No one is going to pay 90K for that Tacoma though. Not in a million years lol.

 

I dont know if I'll catch shit for saying the dealers name, I'll just say it's in the suburban Baltimore area

 

Emphasis on "boy." That's a lot to spend to make something worse than when it started. Probably the single best way to make already shitty leaf springs fail even more quickly. In for the Big Boy TSB.

LOL exactamundo.

 

If I were them, I would be embarrassed to put this truck up for sale. I love the window that shows a payment of $1,190 a month (@ 6% apr & with $17,956 down payment). I can't believe there are people out there would be buy this thing, but I'm sure someone probably will.

 

If you read the details "Black Fender Flares"

 

The local dealer by me put rims, 33s, procomp 3" and steps on then they ask 10,000 more. They sell a crap ton of them.
