GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

I 2nd the Crab Shack as @Scott B. suggested. Get the Sampler Platter - it's for two and is really good.

Dealerships carry as much inventory as they can to move vehicles. That means their stock is usually bought on credit. This credit usually has 0 interest if they sell in a month. The longer they hold inventory, the more they pay in interest, the less their margin. Dealerships know this, and vehicles that sit - even if they don't sell - are a loss month to month, as they are both paying interest (usually 1% or so) AND they could be using that money on other stock that is selling faster. So dealers will sell at or below what they paid, it's just not too common.

My Taco was on the lot for over 6 months, so they sold it "below cost." The sticker was $38,736 on mine and I worked down to 34k out the door, which comes to 32k pre-tax for a DCLB 4x4 SR5. Even if it was below what they immediately paid for it, dealers get incentives from sale volume and end of year bonuses, so they still likely broke even or made a small profit on my sale.

 

The sampler platter was for two?! My bad.

 

thats not a bad truck, but it is a long way and out of Georgia.

what is the typical initial markup?

 

If it were what I was looking for and for the right price (if it will save you a few grand) then the drive should be worth it to you.
There are closer ones but they were 4x4. Which would you rather have? The 2wd or 4wd?

 

Shit I drove to Louisiana for my truck and Florida for my Supra, 300 miles ain't shit. When it comes to vehicles (used) Georgia sucks

 

The distance to that truck is only like 230 miles and I did drive about that to get my shell in Huntsville, AL.

 

5.29 Nitros, by far the best upgrade I have done to this taco. Pulls like mule and doesn’t shift all over the place.

Best thing is it doesn’t downshift while going higher speeds when I hit a slope.
It will hold 5 and 6th now.

Woohoo!

 

I was just there a couple weekends ago. I went to school there an still have friends living there. Fun times haha. Pretty easy drive from B'ham too so I would probably do the same.

 

Yup. 400+ miles round trip to buy my topper. Bryson City NC

I did get a free lunch out of it since I got to swing by my folks place on the way home.

 

I'll talk it over with my uncle. I'm planning to at least test drive the silver one in Rome saturday afternoon at the least

 

You might’ve mentioned it before, but why not 4WD?

 

UWG? Graduated from there in 2004 myself. Think I’ve been back to Carrollton twice since then haha. And never in a million years would I have envisioned I’d be living back in the area

 

Yup I started there in 05. Might know so people I do as most the guys I played intramurals with were all much older, some might still be there haha. some of them Just took one class so they could play.

 

I'd drop it, but 3 years into the 2nd gen titan and no drop kit available so I'm not confident one is coming anyway

 

Very possible. I played and ref’ed intramural football and soccer.

 

I noticed there aren't many around these parts.

 

So you are familiar with the z-6ers? Yes I know some were dicks but we could play some sports haha. I met them my fresh!an year and carried on the name til I left. The soccer guys I was with are still some of my best friends. The football ones were close to me also but I can see how they rubbed folks the wrong way. And if you were a ref then you know Dr. Todd and Ed haha

 

There's a red one on CL right now.

 

Yup. I knew most of those guys socially, but not too personally. Ed...mini cigars and gimp leg...what a dude.

 

It’s Cracker Barrel Time!
