Purchase the color I want or

Dealer has color of vehicle I want in stock. If I wait for an inbound from another dealer they have will have OEM power locking tailgate but not the color I want. I'm leaning towards color...Where did color rank as a deciding factor in your purchase?

 

You can add locks on the cheap. You can't switch colors on the cheap.

 

The power locking tailgate is not a OEM part. It is being added on somewhere after the factory. It's most likely a Pop'N'Lock. You can get the colour you want and add the power locking tailgate yourself.

 

Yup add a pop and lock, super easy. Even if you pay someone, shouldn't be more than a 30 minute job.

 

I was looking for a good deal, so I wasn't to picky about color.

No black, blue, or white.

 

My last vehicle was gold. It had every option I wanted except for color.

Any time I saw a brown or dark gray one while I owned it, I was envious. I didn't compromise on color this time.

 

Color is a big factor locks are a cheep mod u can add later

 

Go for your color

 

Big time .. i had only 3 colors to.chose from .. grey white silver ... not because of me but becauses those were the colors my gf liked . The rest of the truck was my choice

 

The fleet manager said this was the first time he has seen this on a Tacoma order sheet. Is it a midyear change? He was adamant it was not an add on from the port and is not even at the dealership yet so it is not them.

 

Get the color you want

 

100 percent color

 

I am definitely leaning that way. One other niggle. The truck in the color I want will cost me $1,000 or so more, even though MSRP is almost exactly the same on the truck in the color I do not prefer. Dealer with the truck I want will not budge.

 

Yep, color. Adding a lock is easy. Go get your truck!

 

Go to a different dealer and see if they can trade for it and sell it to you cheaper.

 

You can change GF's easier than color, too. Buy what you like.

 

I stopped just "settling" for whatever color the dealer had. I now get the color I want, and I'm happy in the long run.

 

I know she's a GF, but remember this old saying, "Happy Wife, happy life"

 

Cheaper to keep her .. chid support would be a killer and it would have been for 17.5 years haha.. also i wanted the inferno which was a pro and they were sold out

 

If thats true. It's the only Tacoma with it. Or the Fleet Manager was lying to you in order to close a deal. I've had a Salesman tell me once that a car I was looking at didn't need spark plugs because it was Turbocharged. Therefore less maintenance costs. I went to another dealer. Maybe you should too.
