What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

Rarely is anything in life free, there is always a catch.

 

With leather?

 

Robbery by the state.

 

yes sir

 

Do everything in your power to have that thing totalled. You don't want to ride around in a diminished value, heavily repaired vehicle.

 

It was totalled, she took one look at it driving up and said it would be.

Now I just need to get a fair value at settlement. The first offer was a bit low

 

In my opinion, this is one of the few times where a GOOD insurance company really comes through. I have GEICO now, and while they've been great for making changes, adding/removing vehicles, I've personally seen them nickel and dime other things like rental, agreed value and so forth. When I had Amica, my BMW 550i got totaled and they gave me KBB excellent condition value no questions asked. Unfortunately, their premiums are just too high compared to GEICO so I switched, playing the percentages that the chance of a total loss is so low, I'm willing to give up the Amica service for the GEICO low prices. The insurance business is a horrible, horrible industry.

 

You're so right. Probably the rule on any forum for that matter.

 

Agreed - I have Progressive and they just gave me $17k for my ‘12 SR5 2WD Dbl Cab AT 158k miles- KBB says $12,500. No clue where they came up w that value but I grabbed a check within 20 minutes of them telling me that.

Couldn’t be happier w them on it.

 

I got a 2020 TRD Sport 2WD with Tech and Premium package with an MSRP of $40.5K for $34.6K + TTL, it took me a week of emails and phone calls to get that low. They had $1.8K in "Dealer accessories" that increased the MSRP to $42K, I negotiated that to be fully removed from the price as well.

 

That MSRP sounds high for a 2wd TRD Sport.

 

Just the Premium Sport package is $5K

 

That particular configuration includes the Tech, which itself is $770

 

My 2016 TRD Sport was totalled after being rear ended with 12,000 miles on the odometer. The guy's insurance company American Family Insurance wrote me a check for about $2,000 above the sticker price new (I paid $500 over invoice). I didn't argue with them.

 

$2000 for 10 year Platinum Toyota brand Warranty, which is less than I paid for a 6 year on the FJ when I got it and this one includes Roadside and Loaner if needed.
They wanted $2995 for it.

$200 per year up here for no worries over a decade I'm ok with.

I paid cash for the Pro, no finance, so it's not like I'll pay more with interest on the warranty.

 

I won't go into my exact trade in price so as to not mess up my friend who is the sales guy's future sale, but I can say I was surprised that KBB was way low on what they were willing to give on a trade in rate.

Here is the FJ for sale, so you can guess what they gave me. FJs kind of shot way up in resale value, and they held their value so well anyway.

I kept her expertly maintained, not a bit of rust (aside from frame), dents, scuff or scratch I didn't have removed right away, garage stored and it has very low miles, that all helped of course.

 

Legends

5 years of oil change and tire rotation included

 

fuck man I like that deal. I ordered a pro but have seen found myself admiring that cement (pro in AG). That seems like a good deal if they did advanced tech.

 

But they HUGE advertising budgets. Those TV ads with the Emu is awful, the advertising agency should be fired.

 

2020 Voodoo blue off road with with tech and premium package with a few accessories. MSRP $44k paint $39.9 plus taxes etc. I get it tomorrow or Saturday
