Its no fun if you don't post the name.

You have to realize that they shouldn't be doing that to begin with.

In reality, all dealers need ONE car to bling out with all available options to put in the showroom to show customers available accessories.

The rest need to be MSRP and let the customer decide what add-ons they want to add to their invoice.

Its fairly simple.

Hey no kidding. You could put 30% down on that and still be upside down within a year.

Hey nyanpire, hang in there. I would give Nathan a call at carson Toyota. Back in 2003 all i wanted was a Phantom Gray Toyota Tundra V8 SR5 Access Cab no extras. Couldn't find it anywhere came across their webiste fleet department talked about no hassles no salesman pressure and they even had their inventory listed online and there it was the truck i wanted. gave them a call they told me the fleet price which was below 3 grand below msrp i gave them approval to run my credit over the phone i was told i qualified for 0% interest no money down if i wanted paperwork would be ready by the time i got there. easiest purchase of my life. the salesmen on the lot cringed when i walked past them straight to the fleet department when upstairs truck parked outside waiting sat with finance guy signed the papers got my copies and drove home in my new truck! No BS true story. Still have the truck today!

Heres a little of the lower seat stitch. Sorry cameras not the best check the rest of the thread for the rest.

Not the best photo of the back seat with leather. sorry i tried. I will try again when its nite.

Sportsguy83 · 06-01-2012, 09:14 PM

It looks ok. I still have an issue with it being force fed, instead of an option, but oh well at the end of the day your dealer will either make money of of it or will have the cars on the lot long enough to discount it.

Meh, I prefer the factory cloth seats to that leather. Looks like you'll slip and slide within the bolsters based on how smooth that leather looks in the pics.

ZmZMWagon · 06-02-2012, 01:55 AM

I thought these were in "high demand" why are your 2 Frs still on the lot?
