Future 3rd gen owner

Wish I could leave this state but, I’m 73 and have lived here all my life.

 

I lived in California for 20 years; moved to Washington 2 years ago.

I really like it up here, but still miss California, dearly.

Yes, it is expensive, but California offers so much more. Of everything.

 

I’m sure I would miss it too if I left.

 

At 35k, if I was you I’d just buy new honestly.
I purchased my 17 for 36k brand new and 4x4. I know you’re not interested in 4x4 but just for a reference since they’re more spendy than a 2wd

 

Yeah I want 4x4, I will keep weighing my options

 

More taxes, more problems, more people, more traffic.... so much more of everything.

 

Amen to this shit right here

 

Sure. That’s one way of looking at it, too. But then I’ve been to Phoenix, Dallas, Portland, and other places and found traffic, congestion, pollution and all sorts of other problems too.

 

No sales tax on it after trading that jeep.

 

The Jeep wasn’t fully paid off, so I did pay some sales tax.

 

Make sure TSB 62-18 is applied to the ECU. Without it, the engine is hunting for gears, but 62-18 smooths that all out and it shifts like it’s supposed to.

 

I found a Super White 19' TRD OR 4x4 DCSB for listing price 36k, cloth seats and tech package and trd wheels and Ko2's. Its honestly what im looking for and its new. My finance budget is 35k I guess i can see if they wanna play ball, I have a significant down as well, theres no way im paying off a car in 5 years, been there done that i wanna pay it off asap.

 

I'm not sure what that means but I'm a quick learner. And know what an ECU is.

 

TSB=Technical Service Bulletin. So if you give the correct TSB number to the Service Technician, then he knows were to look to find the fix issued from Toyota.

 

They should be willing to play; you are not far off. Strange that the dealer would voluntarily replace the OE wheels and tires on a new OR.

For reference, a set of KO2s is about $800 at Discount Tire.

I believe there’s a $1,000 rebate and 1.9% up to 60 months on Tacomas.

I’d offer them $34,000 OTD, tax and license included; $35,000 if you happen to want them TRD wheels and KO2s. You don’t have to take them on a new vehicle.

 

Yeah I've seen a couple of dealers do that for showroom potential. Yeah I'm gonna see if they will deal

 

I don't know if other states have it, but California has the "Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator" (https://bit.ly/2UdaP2L) to make sure you don't get cornholed by the Dealer.

Hey a positive California comment! Excellent! My daughter considered heading to Washington for college and we visited University of Washington. Great campus. In the end she chose Montana State University and is heading there in August.

 

...more opportunity, more money, more beauty, weather, tech, leadership, food, diversity, indeed! *drink*
