Welcome to the Toyota dealer Hall of Shame!

 

I'll sell you my 2007 OR w/175k miles for $28,000

I just beat that....
What's my reward?

 

That’s why them dealers down there be closing down. People just drive to San Diego and get below msrp.

 

You owe ME $28,000 for not following the instructions

 

What's the 'red alert'? Is that to let you know when they'll be spraying the fire retardant?

 

Follow the rules?
I wouldn't exist if people followed the rules.

I'm going to continue with the family tradition.
Rules ain't for me.

 

Was a popular feature on Detroit-made automobiles during the Cold War. Lets you know when the communists are invading.

 

Or...the Red Alert is a first aid kit for the rectal bleeding you'd suffer if you paid for these force-fed options

 

Unbelievable and I was biatching about the spray-on bed-liner. As for "red alert" i have a come back, but may get ex-communicado from the site

 

Pulsing brake light. Probably $50 for the parts and labor.

Asinine.

 

It's a button that causes the lights to flash and the horn to sound. It also raises the shields.
You use it whenever to see the Romulans or Klingons approaching.

 

There's your "red" alert!!!

 

Jerry Lundegaard called. He says they put that stuff on at the factory, ya know...there's nothing he can do...

 

Just so long as we don't lose inertial dampeners, and sway left to right in our seats.

 

Child's play. $1,900 for inspection, cleaning, and doc prep.

A siren that notifies fellow motorists that the British are coming. Load your musket and prepare the grapeshot!

 

Looks even worse than that. In the "disclaimers" at the bottom it also shows an additional $894 "pre-delivery service fee."

 

I thought somebody had a color called Red Alert, I doubt that's what is going on here.

 

If I'm reading the add correct the truck is in it's build phase. So can you order the truck before the dealer can add their crap?
Reading the finance offer that truck will cost you $76,618.00.
I did send a message asking what the Red Alert is all about.

 

That and the other trucks in that price range will sit on the lot until Avis buys them at a fraction of the price. Unless someone is willing to pay that, and they are free to spend how they please.
