General Discussion and BS thread -Safe Haven

Right?! I'll say buying the Tacoma was a unique experience. I basically had to hound them into it and seemingly beg them to take my money. It took several weeks and they were very aloof. Kinda like trying to date the prom queen.

 

Its this new gen, even dealers here are being all, well I deserve MSRP and better come and reserve yours and I'll give you what I want for your trade not what is fair nonsense. Ya no thanks.

 

We should form a support group. 12 steppin' it baby.

 

Lol. Ive just realized its time to be an adult and not be foolish with money, instead I'll just buy new mx bikes. lol.

 

To my dealers credit, I paid less then MSRP and gave me a very fair trade in price. They could have put on an ADM and still sold it no problem. They screwed up my order, but I paid a fair price that was far less then I would've honestly paid. Depends on the dealer. I'm positive there is some substantial ADM's being tacked on certain trim lines.

 

ACs and Sports tend to stay on lots around here, ORs though are gone the next day.

 

I hope to achieve what you have some day. Between firearms and trucks, I'm just weak. I'll own it, because to deny it would be asinine.

 

Yeah. I think my dealer got tired of my persistence regarding my tenacious desire of the TRD Off Road. Pretty sure a few corks were popped when I drove off the lot.

 

I follow that too, the whole do I want to be 45 and look back and realize I saved for what? Life is too short, I give to church and live within my paycheck, worst case I sell some toys

 

Yep the website makes it hard. I'll probably end up getting the next refresh.

 

Yup. The key is to buy quality stuff that is always in demand. Quality firearms and Toyotas are pretty much recession proof. And I am getting perilously close to 45. How in the hell did that happen?

 

Actually I have a very pleasant buying experience and I got the exact truck I wanted with 7 miles on it.

 

My issue wasn't so much a negative one, just a combination of impatience and lack of supply. Plus, a "lost" truck that I had a deposit on, and them getting me a short bed when I ordered the long. Yeah, could've waited for them to get me a long bed, but I couldn't wait and it wasn't a deal breaker for me. In the end, they were good to me.

 

Yeah I was lucky I didn't want a LB because all they had was SBs coming.

 

I am wondering if my impatience has once again, proved to be a fatal mistake. What's your thoughts on long bed vs short? I'm sure this has been done to death, but I understand this thread to be wide open.

 

My thoughts are if you're constantly hauling stuff and need the extra foot, which to me doesn't seem like a whole lot more room unless you sleep in the bed, the the long bed is perfect. However for me I occasionally haul stuff, prefer the shorter wheel base for off-roading and parking. I also personally like the looks of the SB better. I understand some guys need the extra room for work or if you were constantly hauling dirt bikes it would be nice. It just really comes down to your own needs

 

Sums up this forum sometimes lol

 

This pretty much. I wanted a long bed to be able to sleep in, and carry my kayaks. but I didnt want an extended wheelbase because I want to be more capable at off roading. Luckily for me I have no need for a doublecab, and access cab gives me all I need lol.

 

When I walked into the dealership. I was immediately congratulated by a couple employees that I never spoke to. I sat down and my salesman was like that is one hell of a truck you have there, it's been the talk of the dealership all day. I'm also pretty sure I have one of the only ORs in upstate NY. None were allocated for 3 or 4 hundred miles in any direction.

 

Whereabouts in Upstate NY? I have my ACLB TRD OR on order from New Country Toyota of Clifton Park.
