New '16 4 banger owners thread

I know exactly the build I want: Silver AC 4cyl 5spd 4x4. I can take or leave the 16" black wheels.

As someone who buys/sells a lot of cars, and with a background in selling for dealerships, I want to play things smart and slow and wait out the initial rush of demand. By the end of the year i'll grab one up. A good friend of mine now owns a large toyota dealership and I hope to give him my business when all the cards line up. The selling price to me is something that can make or break the outlook I have with the car. In times past, when I know I overpaid, I get this tinge of regret and negativity. And when I get a car for a great price, just the inverse occurs. It's all psychological nonsense, but for someone who is as passionate about cars as I am, it's worth waiting for the right time.

 

I'm building one from scratch.

Super White 4 x 4 SR Access Cab 6-Spd. Auto with:

SR Convenience Package
16" Black Alloy Wheels
Chrome Exhaust Tip
All Weather Mats

Total MSRP $28,613

 

What do you mean by "not available in your area"? Like, you haven't seen any, or you won't be getting any ever?

Have you considered buying from out of state? I've done that a couple times now. You just fed-ex all the paperwork back and forth. In some ways I find it easier. The negotiations certainly are. And for what it's worth, if you don't want to fly in to grab it, www.uship.com has excellent prices on shipping vehicles. I live in Maryland and have shipped cars from Seattle for $1,100. Alabama for $500. And based on your negotiation savings, you can still be ahead of the game. Most importantly, you'll get exactly what you want too.

 

Wowwww that's a weird surprise. I woulda thought the colorado area would be prime for the 5spd 4x4 version too.

And yeah, if I had a family, i'd be buying exactly what you bought. I'm still at the point in life where being selfish and impractical is totally ok.

 

Anyone have a SR 4 x 4 yet?

 

Some pics of the engine bay as requested.

 

Yeah the dude from PA with the silver AC 5spd 4x4. He's all over the place. And i think the only member so far that's gone one.

 

Thanks for the pics trammy!

 

Just filled up for the first time today and calculated 24.4 mpgs. I do a lot of highway driving so I am happy.

 

Nice! That beats 19 mpg.

 

Very good !

 

Shout out to Serra Toyota of Decatur! Just got pricing for a Super White SR access cab 4 x 2 with convenience package, 16" black alloys, chrome exhaust tip, and all weather mats at Invoice. And he can have me one here November 1st.

 

Going over tomorrow to check out this SR5, 4X2, 4 Cylinder.

 

Haha awesome scooter! she's a beaut. Just filled up my second tank just now. 25.2 mpg! woo.

 

Thanks man. Glad to hear that for sure on the fuel mileage.

Hey guys, I was just looking as I have a 15,2.7, 4x4, 5spd, acc. This is my 2nd 2.7 taco, sold my 02 in Sept with 200000. plus miles. It ran great and had a lot of life life left, just wanted something new. That being said, this is what I think you have to look forward to. Have fun and take care of it , it will last a long time.

 

Just picked it up 10 days ago. Inferno SR5 DCSB I4 4x2. Have 1,000 miles on it already and enjoying the heck out of it. Traded in my 08 I4 SR5 with 180k miles on it. Hope to get more on this one.
