Bye Bye 100 hello 200!!!!

[lowkey37]

OK I just traded my 05 100 series for a new to me 08 200. My new baby has 50000 miles and is in MINT condition. I bought her certified from the dealer w/ brand new 285/65/18 BFG's at/ko. Vehicle is Sonora Gold and came with the upgrade package. So much more substantial than my old 100. Bye rattles, hello firmness and power. I tried to attach a pic! Help if it doesn't show-I know the darn rules! By the way paid 43500 which includes certified warranty. What do you guys think?

 

[lowkey37]

Imagine her with tint all the way around-Which she has now!

 

[lowkey37]

My first thoughts are to drop her to the pavement and start a lowrider club here in bama!

Looks good!

 

[lexi4darin]

love the no tint look; tires look good too

 

[WoodyCreature]

I think you got the deal of the year!

 

[brussum]

Looks great! I haven't seen a gold one in person yet. Great color.


Tinting was the first thing I did, too. I'm surprised Toyota didn't make 'em with privacy tint in the first place.

Great color. I don't see that many of those, but that color just works.

Nice acquisition!

Now drop the plastic bumpers and steps, then armor her up!

 

[mark71]

good bye plastic, hello single digit mileage!

 

[lowkey37]

Does armor hit it that harsh! I'm squeezing about 15.5 out of a tank right now!

Congrats, nice purchase!

I can see the 100 crew having a problem in a few years trying to get into a 200 series. There just aren't enough US spec LC's out there for all the old 100 owners that will look to migrate.

Seriously, who the hell made the decision in 08 to omit tint from the windows? What a jackass. I want to know if it was some Japanese-English translation mistake or some bros actually had a discussion about it.

 

[lowkey37]

Haha, I know right? Made no sense to me either. The tint has been corrected though! Ceramic went on this past weekend. Next for me is adding an xm tuner-always something!

Congrats!

Does somebody sell precut Ceramic for the 200? if so, can you share who?

Congrats on the purchase! I initially didn't like the Sonora Gold but it's growing on me.

Next for me is adding an xm tuner-always something!

Enjoy that process:

It's actually quite easy. One suggestion is that if you're going to instal XM, you may want to consider installing the Prestigious Society navigation override at the same time while the entire dash is disassembled.

 

[mark71]

i'd rather have dental surgery than tear into the dash.

Congrats super nice rig, I got rid of my 100 for a 200 also... I loved the 100, but the 200 is way better!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kreiten]
