This is my perfect spec Taco... sitting used above MRSP. I wonder why someone traded that thing in.
It is however not on the Toyota of Claremont website so perhaps it has sold as well.

Car not listed on their site, what do I do ? Just cold call?
That's what I would do
It is ingrained in me from my job, but I find that you can get a lot more done over the phone versus beating around the bush with email for days. It can't hurt to see if they do indeed have it and if they're willing to let it go for a reasonable price, like 10% off MSRP at least. Over MSRP for used is true status, this isn't a Lambo.

I’m debating the right path given my experience last weekend ... it taught me a lot ... I was set on a taco ... but now not sure. My buddy wants to go wheeling at sour grass this weekend https://youtu.be/KzVY8IsD7zM
Do you think you'd do that sort of wheelin' more than once?max225 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:28 pmI’m debating the right path given my experience last weekend ... it taught me a lot ...

I think he wants to go together in the but I don’t think I’ll go...
This looks more difficult than the last one ... so I think I’d rather not risk blowing out a clutch or flipping it ...
Seems like one of those things that may be more fun as a passenger than a driver?

Yea it sucks, I can GO i am sure, but then it'll turn into a "thing" long term. "Why are you picking off roading over spending the short weekends we have with me" don't want to deal with that...

This was my conclusion a long while back when I was considering getting a
Now we have a but I will still be MTB a hell of a lot more than I'll ever off road. It's nice to have something that takes three hours instead of all day or all weekend, never has an issue with me going out for a half day thing on a weekend, all weekend things, I have to plan carefully.

Update:
New car buying got put on hold due to house purchase that will likely happen in the next 4-6 weeks. Bank doesn’t want me doing any major transactions even though we are shooting for about 2/3 of what they qualified us for.
2% car to house ratio FTW
