Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

I'd PM'ed before posting.

My lawyer specialized in "dibs," is certified "not it," and was top in his class at "shotgun."

 

I tried to make the point that I was the one who asked in the first place about anything else being available, which should be used as tie-breaker. But it was summarily rejected.


Edit: Just to be clear, I was talking about the clazzios thing, which did not happen on this forum.

Moot point - he's apparently getting trade-in credit for them all.

No carcass for the vultures to pick over.

 

What a tease

 

well...that made my palms sweat. i was told our quarterly bonuses weren't going to happen. so...i asked for a $12k/ yr raise, which still leaves me as the low man in my department, but much closer to the guy above me...who only has 1 more year of experience (and he got that while i was doing HR and payroll). we'll see what happens. i was told that i have far exceeded expectations and that my current pay was "a slap in the face." regardless, no sliders for now. womp womp.

 

I must have missed that before the post was deleted

 

When will you know if you'll be feeling any love?

 

tonight around 10:30.



i don't know.

 

Sorry, guys; as I explained to the good Cap'n in a PM, I have been working on a Tundra, and the dealer has been doing dealer stuff... "your stuff ain't worth shit, my stuff is gold". His last message, before my post, was low balling the trade in, and saying that shells are a hindrance when they try to resell, and that other aftermarket stuff depreciates faster than vehicles.

In other words, .

So I thought, I'd see if there was any interest in all of these "worthless" parts. About two hours after I posted that, the guy got ahold of me with another offer that made a bit more sense, I countered, and he accepted. I am going to pull out the Kicker sub and another, yet to be named, piece that I will be offering up to the gang here, but the rest will stay attached. I'm not sure if I'm going to use the sub in the Tundra; if not, I'll offer it here, and gulzeb was the first person in line...

HOWEVER! If any of you are in the market for a very clean 2011 Tacoma SR5 Access Cab, I can and will sell it, rather than trade it in. As I'm more than likely going to pick up the Tundra this weekend, there are only a few days to get the deal done, but I'm throwing it out there.

Deets:

2011 Tacoma SR5, 4WD Access cab
V6
Automatic
74,500 miles
Toytec 3" lift kit, UCAs, new springs in front, AAL in the rear, OME shocks at all corners
Smittybuilt step bars
Michelin tires, I think LTX, about 60% tread left
3M film applied on hood, bumper, and fender flares when new
Pioneer in dash stereo, AM/FM/XM, CD, DVD
Boston Acoustic indoor speakers
Kicker Hideaway sub
Leer fiberglass shell, with slider front window to match slider rear window in truck
Bedrug, purchased when truck was new, so bed has no marks

Damn clean truck, I'm pretty anal about my stuff. Not Chad anal, but who is? The pic below is as off road as this one has been, and you could eat off the bottom of the truck.

Kelly Bluebook Trade-in is $16,141
Kelly Bluebook Private Party is $20,146

For a very limited time only, you can step right up and drive this one home for $18,750. And every one of those "worthless" add ons will be yours, as well as some of the OEM stuff, like radio, speakers, carpeted floor mats...

Lemme know; I'd love for one of you to pick up a very clean rig!

 

Don't forget the front diff bushing. Oh and, what's the stereo you have, model#? Interested in a quick swap? Mine is a double din dvd unit. It's creating a parasitic draw is the only reason I wanna get rid of it.

 

That's a clean truck for a sweet deal!

I really hope somebody in the gang picks this up

 

straight up my dream Tacoma.

 

There goes the raise you just requested....

 

marriage would go, too, probably...

 

Umm ya that’s more important.

 

Yes, the front diff bushing, expertly placed by Jeff, while Chris wondered how the hell he was going to back up the driveway so he could leave.

No offense, but not interested in swapping it out. Call me old school, but I don't want to saddle the next owner with any issues, especially ones that I know about ahead of time. If you buy the truck, you can solve your problem!

 

Double win! Just kidding...

Bring your wife over to look at it, but make sure my wife is home. She'll tell you and your wife how anal I am about stuff, and what a putz I am! She's a charmer!

 

I wouldn't want that karma either, no offense taken what so ever. Driveway does get tricky when you're backing up it.
