What’s up with $80k Tacomas these days?

I wear my forum bans like a badge of honor!

That dealership should just be avoided… they’re charging for nitrogen in the tires and adding $10k markup.

But they give you two ‘free’ oil changes…

If they remember to put the cap back on or don’t strip the bolts, that is.

My wife bought a Jeep with nitrogen in the tires… got a flat, and the shop said not to even bother with nitrogen again. Doesn’t do anything.

@Dorian
Yeah, the air is already mostly nitrogen anyway.

I didn’t realize it was that high already… wow.

Car dealerships are just out to take advantage of people.

Worked in parts at a dealership once… same vibe. Places like Sears got in trouble for things dealerships do every day.

There’s no way I’d pay for nitrogen. Tell them no, and regular air works just fine.

@Kaius
Yeah, regular air is like 78% nitrogen. No need to pay extra.

And don’t forget that ‘destination fee’ and ‘protection package’ markup. They’re taking it way too far.

I had nitrogen-filled tires until I deflated them for the beach. So much for that ‘advantage’!

This so-called ‘inventory shortage fee’ of $10k is nonsense! The shortage ended months ago… just another excuse to rip people off.

Paying $10k extra for nothing? Ridiculous. I’d laugh my way out of the dealership.

Got my 2010 model used for $10k! Can’t believe how prices have jumped.

I paid $54k for my 2019 TRD PRO and still felt I paid too much… $80k is just absurd.

At least your model has a backseat that’s actually usable.

Wait, why’s the new backseat not functional?

@Huang
They added shock absorbers on the back of the front seats, cutting into the legroom even more.

You probably still got a better deal percentage-wise.
