    Reminds me of the time I had to haggle a $3,000 “butler package” off which was the dealer selling me on a car wash every few months.

    That was my thought. I bought a SR so I can add what I want, when I want to.

    Wow. This place is TRASH.

    Wanna bet they added that exhaust tip and called it a full "TRD Exhaust"?

    That shit is super cringe. Have you ever talked to these people? I'm a disabled vet with a lot of spare time on my hands, and I'm pretty sure I'd make a day of just walking up to people looking at the truck and telling them to run as fast and far as possible.

    I think we should collectively hit the google reviews on this place with 1 stars and expose this crap. Where exactly is this?

    It is a cool looking truck. I wonder what it will eventually sell for.

    Probably $50k. No inventory and even before the shortage, it was difficult to even get $2k off sticker. Some poor sap will buy it at face value.

    You mean pay the extortion... although the price is the price. Can't say I am fan of the forced markup.

    Each day that passes and I look at prices / inventory I thank the guy upstairs I got ULURU when I did two months ago..

    No surprise there at all. They added a bunch of stuff. All you need to do is multiply the normal price by 34, 457,657, and magically you will get to the the dealer’s $13k price.

    Brand new OR in the parking lot at work; Don't know who owns this one, but if you look closely in the second photo, you can see my coworker's Inferno 2017 TRD Sport...

    In this market? At Thompson? Probably $45K...? This is located at the same dealership that expected me to pay almost $600 for a remanufactured alternator last month, not including installation!

    This dealer also replaced my frame, and while they have excellent customer service, I refuse to do business with them anymore because pull insane prices for parts seemingly out of their ass and the only excuse they can come up with for this is that "it's OEM". Funny thing is that my mechanic right down the street has some sort of deal with this dealer where he pays slightly less than what the greedy bastards expect me to pay, then sells them to me at cost and charges substantially less in labor than the dealer would charge! :luvya:

    So the dealer literally has no excuse to charge what they charge for uninstalled parts, and I'm amazed they don't just sell them to me for what my mechanic is paying!

    NOTE: I am NOT buying the damn thing!

    I saw this at North Penn Volkswagen while out and about today; 2017 AC TRD Sport 4x4, 6-speed, with about 47K miles, for just under $37K. Of course I think it's overpriced, even in this market, but it's not the worst price I've seen...

    I was a bit dismayed to see that it was a TRD Sport and not an OR, but since it has a third pedal, I was willing to overlook that one little detail...

    What I'm wondering, is why somebody would trade this for a Volkswagen...

    The window sticker was tucked up on the dashboard with the price out of sight, but I looked it up online...

    Bonus for a lot of people on here, because it's not only a stick shift, but it's pre-TSS!

    If you're considering buying it, hell no. You could get a new or newer lesser trim for that kind of bread. Do you really want to fork over your hard earned cash for bells & whistles you don't need? That's a rhetorical question btw.
