I had pretty good luck with AutoTrader where I found a Chevy dealer that had taken a 2015 Halo with less than 5k miles in trade. I kept a list of vehicles I liked including this one. Watched the...

Really good point.

The Tundra was traded in by previous owner and then the dealer put on a new frame on it (the amazing thing is the Tundra does not feel like it has 165k miles in terms of how it...

Another benefit of the Tundra is the cassette tape player (I saw a cassette player in a 2008 Lexus GX470 I drove last year too). When I got the truck, I busted out an old case of cassettes sitting in...

Yes, and the pop-up headlights, cassette player and sound equalizer made it extra special. Good for the "Awesome Mix Tapes" from "Guardians of the Galaxy".

Well done review! Exact reasons why I want this car in the same color. I had a two generation older '87 Prelude Si back in the day. Loved the low hood, that today, would feel like I'd be peering over...

Appreciate your thought here, but I'm it's time for a change of pace. I drove an FR-S for two days and loved it the more I drove it. It's precisely the raw, go-kart attributes I was looking for...

I do have the room, it's more the complexity of taking care of more "stuff in my life". Plus, while finances are ok, I do want to be somewhat responsible (in my mind, an FR-S is prudent relative to...

Another really great choice! Those will be worth some serious $$$ when they pass through MACUM auto auction in 30 years.

Trade in '07 4Runner or '05 Tundra?

Been eyeing an FR-S since they came out. Love the idea of them. Drove one for 2 days a year back and the car fit like a glove. Made so much sense to me. Here's my dilemma.

Excellent point, especially when the weather gets cruddy around here. Raven is another color I love except it is so much work to keep looking good!

Ok, I'm getting swayed back to the 10 Series. Either way, it's an FR-S, so there is no loss either way.

Ok, great arguments for the 10 Series. When I get home in 10 days, if it's still available, I may just grab it!

Leaning towards a 15. Right now, rebates on 10 series 13s are 2K. If Inventory of 13s doesn't go down by the time 15's Roll in, I would think Toyota will become more aggressive.

New to the forum. Been meaning to buy an FR-S since they came out. Test drove an FR-S over a year ago and the car just felt like a direct connection to the road. Totally purposeful machine.
