Looking for a decent SoCal Toyota dealer to get either a 2019 or 2020 non heritage model that is willing to deal. how much off list can one expect. They come fully optioned and I don’t plan on adding any extras.

Is this a dealer installed option or at the port. Just want a specific color but would really like the remote starter if easily added.

For the 2016 LC, is the Blizzard Pearl and Blue Onyx clear coated or single stage paint? I assume they are not metallic. Also is the Brandywine Mica metallic or clear coated? My last few trucks/cars have been dark blue or black and they show dirt and scratches too easily. Silver would be...

Thanks Jaxn. I spoke with someone who worked at the local DCH Honda dealership and was told DCH changed ownership relatively recently but may be mistaken. Fortunately, my need for a LC is not urgent. I can drive my present car (Suburban) another year or two as my interest is purely...

Thanks Jaxn for the completely logical and informative response. Obviously, other than straight price, there are other factors that dealers consider. Being one that never crossed the state line to purchase a car, I feel that only if the deal cannot be done locally, would I even consider flying...

That's also an issue of concern. Looking back on the oil change thread, some Toyota techs didn't even put back the skid protectors correctly or forgot/misthreaded bolts so that I would be doing the oil changes myself. The lack of knowledge/experience of working on the KDSS also worries me but...

Thanks T4Runner, How did you get a dealership in NJ to handle the registration/taxes out of state as I would assume they wouldn't want to work with you if you aren't doing business with them? I was planning to just buy out of state and deal with the taxes/registration once I drove back...

I'm also thinking about a 2016 as the front design and new available colors (interior) are pushing toward a purchase. Thanks Jaxn about all the details of purchase, especially about the markdowns in the Southeast and adding no options at the port. A few questions though. Is the markdown...

I know it's been a while since this thread was active but am wondering if I use ramps only on the front wheels to get better access to change the oil, does the truck being slanted at that angle not let all of the oil drain out of either the sump or oil filter?

Which region gets the biggest discount? Wondering where NJ falls?

Thanks. Is there a website that can search for new 2013 LC200s rather than going to each dealer site separately? Searching the North East region would be preferable since I would be willing to drive to get a great deal. If there are no changes and since I plan on keeping it at least 10 years...

Looking for a new LC200 and I imagine there are still new 2013s out there. Anything new in the 2014s compared to the 2013s?

It looked a little fishy. Any idea when the next generation LC is coming out?

Similar articles are showing up on the net. Is this redesign meant for the US as several engine variants are mentioned? http://www.newcarannouncements.com/2015-toyota-land-cruiser/

Great story. I'm also glad to hear that a Toyota dealer was able to keep your loyalty all of these years.
