    to see what the '09 TRD OR and Sports were all about. But before I even got over to the Tacomas one of the sale people stopped me and complimented on my truck.


    I felt so good after that. He was a great guy. We had a good 20 min conversation about the new Tacomas and the new colors and what not.


    My first REAL compliment of my truck with me driving it!!!:cool:

    Last week on Thurday, I went to the dealership to pick up some oil filters. As I walked out, there were two sales reps in front of my Taco. They said for a 2WD my truck looks great. I then told them I only need a lift and I'll be set. Then asked me if I wanted to upgrade to a 4X4! I respectfully declined and said in a couple of years.

    I mainly go to the dealerships to see who will let me test drive cars, I was soo close to test driving an H2 because i had to be 18 and the sales dude thought i was 18 till i told him im 16. But i also love to see the deals out there and whats for sale :D

    lents, you were like a minute away from my house. You should have stopped by.... btw, they complimented your truck cause they wanted you to trade it in and make money off you. trust NOTHING car salesman says.

    This guy didnt seem like he wanted for me trade in my truck. But like you said I could be wrong.

    I thought about asking you, but then I thought you were inside studying:D

    you go to dealerships kicking tires and test driving with ZERO intention of buying...makes it seem completely illogical to dealers that a kid would ACTUALLY be able to and be ready to buy

    dealerships wouldnt even talk to me
