I know what you mean. I talked myself into a Nautilus (when I really wanted a Corsair). The radio cuts out when going under trees (leaves are the issue, I guess) and the volume doesn't work on certain drives. Even though I got the code from Lincoln, the dealership says that it has to happen...
I actually enjoy the car-buying experience. I've ordered most of my vehicles since 2004 (Dodge Ram 2500 HEMI w/ 6-speed manual). If I don't order them, I do extensive internet research to "locate" them and then either have a local dealership arrange a trade or do the online purchase option...
I doubt that they can amend the order. What I believe is more likely to happen is they will still build that vehicle and ship it to the dealership. However, if in the meantime you've worked with the dealership to build another one the way you want, they'll void the original bill of sale and...
Nice. How accurate is the photo that appears with your order update to the vehicle that you ordered? I did the "Build & Price" and noticed that the 2026 is $2630 more than my '24 with the same options plus the $985 moonroof. Ouch.
I couldn't agree more. Every time I get into my '24 Ranger Lariat, I am reminded that it doesn't have the moonroof. It's the only vehicle that I've had in 28 years without one.
BINGO. When I looked at the itemization on my Monroney Sticker, I thought I was buying a GM vehicle: $130 splashguard flaps, $200 Floor liners all-weather+carpet mats, $215 Integrated box side step, and $95 Securicode keyless keypad. Nickel-and-diming on a $49000 vehicle.
You are NOT crazy to wait. I have a '24 Ranger Lariat. I almost purchased a '24 Tacoma TRD Sport with moonroof and 6-speed manual. Every time I drive my Ranger, I am reminded that I don't have two options that I really wanted in a vehicle that stickered at $51,115. (I can live without the...
I've been checking it almost daily since September. I want to build a '26 Lariat with the power moonroof, do some analysis, and then consider trading my '24 Lariat.
I was pissed when I realized it's essentially zone lighting (which is what they now call it in some places) next to the glovebox. I was OK with having no rear vents, no power moonroof, and no manual transmission. I'm not pleased with the with the misrepresentation. I ran wiring for a...
Most Florida dealerships charge doc fees anywhere from $795 - $1295. They also charge "Regional market adjustment" and "Dealer installed options*" which are tough to negotiate away.
I traveled 50 miles away to get my '24 Ranger Lariat at a dealership that didn't add these charges. The only...
For a redone interior, the Tacoma is perhaps not as advanced as it could be. For reference, I looked at a 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport w/ 6-speed manual. I went back to look at it after my Ranger purchase only to have the salesperson and sales manager call me 3x on my way home. By the time I got...
