Yup! In my opinion it's pretty hard to see during the day though... There is a switch on the drivers side under the steering wheel and knee board that turns it off/on.

I'll try the switch tonight. When does it light up? Might not have been connected

Lights up when unlocked and door is opened. It is only lit up for maybe, 5-7 seconds.

If your in the car and its running you can switch the lights off (on the stalk) then to auto and it will come on as well.

Picked mine up on Tuesday and I'm having a hoot. Didn't see that plastic still on the plaque till now. I'll go take that off.


Chipping away at adding the stuff that was left off, even on the 10 Series. Have the blade antenna, center console, and Homelink mirror on now. Need to add the back up camera after I get the Bespoke GPS unit working.

Can you say 'gouged'?

I hope to get one myself by the end of the year, but I think these "Salesmen" need to do their job a little better.

I didn't pay for the paint protection or overpriced probably shitty brand tint, that's dealer-added pre-rape and lots of extra money in their local pocket. Yes sometimes Toyota will toss on a TRD exhaust or spoiler or other actual official add-on from the factory, but not those two. Mine only came from the factory with wheel locks and carpet personally.

Traded my dads beat up 2000 avalon with 210k miles for $3000. My trade was appraised at $800 by other dealers and up to around 1k on kbb so they had it down as $1000 trade value plus extra $2000 additional trade allowance which gave me a total of $3000 trade in value. If u have a car to trade in that is the easiest way to knock down the price. Find your true trade in value then aim for atleast $500-$1500 over which they should be able to do without taking a "loss" since mark up is about $1600. My dealer technically took around a $400 loss. If u see that the car has been sitting on the lot for a few months u could probably do the same but it might take a little back and forth negotiating n maybe a walk away & wait for a call. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Pure Price is BS. Just work your dealers. If they won't give you $500-$1000 off at least, just walk away.

Toyota has even said to all their dealers last month that they no longer need to maintain a separate Scion dept to sell the brand.
