Thats not bad at all Bob. I figured you would have lost more on it just because, ya know? You did good for sure. What is the new one going to run you? Just when you do get it, make sure that you keep landscaping people away and avoid big rocks in the road.

Whahahaha

You got that right and watch out for curbs!!!

Getting the XRS at invoice from the same dealer which is a better deal than what I got on the S. Out the door tax and all is 22,719.64. That is almost what I paid for the S.

Thats a pretty good deal. What options did you get? I paid a good bit more for mine, but they were still pretty fresh on the lot. I was more around $25k OTD because none of the dealers in my area were willing to come off the dern things...

I guess its easier to say what mine doesnt have. Mine is 5-speed MT, no sun roof, and manual A/C controls. No nav either.

[currybob]

Ouch!! Freeman you got screwed! Of course you pay more to get the first ones.

I only got $1000 off my S but I'm getting this one at invoice plus their doc fee. Of course they would only do that if I ordered.


Invoice Prices
XRS Auto $18,055
Power pkg $ 508
MoonRoof $712
JBL- $795
Tinted Glass $165
Mats $165

Out the door price including tax and Doc Fee is $22,719.64

I think the MSRP sticker is 23,935 before taxes and dock fee. It won't have that SE Toyota fee ($699) because it's was ordered.

[TheFreeman2005]

Yeah, it sucks looking back on it. No one wanted to budge on the price much since they had only came out a month or so before I purchased, and the lease on the Tunrda was coming to an end pretty soon. Oh well, I put $10K down on it and I'm doubling up on payments. It'll be paid of in a yearish.

My TPM light came on today on the way home from work. But none of the tires look low. I guess its just a little below where it should be in terms of proper inflation... any ideas?

[currybob]

Hey that TPM light is pretty cool. I read some where that it only has to drop 3-7 psi before it comes on. Great for tire care and keeping you MPGs up. You need to put a gadge on it and see.

Hey I started a photo area here in the Social Groups for XRSs, you need to add your photos to it. I't will be awhile before I can add mine to it.

[TheFreeman2005]

Yeah, I put a bunch of air in the tires, but forgot my pressure reader. Light is still on. Being the low profile tires its hard to just look at 'em and tell if they're low.

I tried a few pictures yesterday and I guess it didnt like the firewall at work. I'll try a loading up a few soon.

There is a reset button that you have to press, I think as you turn the key on. Make sure all the tires are at proper pressure before you do it. Check the book and tells you how, it that doesn't work then you may have a bad pressure sending unit and will need to get warranty to replace it.

Bob

[TheFreeman2005]

Ohhhh, I got ya. I busted out the owners book and flipped through it and saw something about resetting it but all the tires had to be at correct pressure which I wasnt sure if I did or not. It was the left front tire that went down. It finally started to show later the next morning. Guess I need to look for that slow leak....

Got my 2nd oil change last week. I'm gettin up near 10000 miles now, but not quite there yet. Still no major issues that I can really think of. No funky noises or squeaks. Speakers are doing great even though I abuse them a good bit with my iPod. Tires are holding up well to my driving.

I have managed to wear through the carpet on my floor mats where my heels are while I'm driving.

The paint is starting to pick up chips here and there. Where there is plastic, I've got black little gouges that get pretty deep. I wish the paint held up better, but it was like that on my last truck too (my Chevy before my Tundra).

The dealership reset my light and took care of rotating my tires and getting them up to par. I know I could have reset it myself, but the oil change was just down the road a little. I figured I'd let them take care of it. lol

Anyways, so far so good. I might be taking a trip this weekend so I'll be racking up a few more miles. Hopefully they have gas where I'm going. This "gas shortage" is getting annoying.

Freeman

That's good news except for the paint and carpet of course. My XRS should be getting here by the end of the week and I am sooooo ready. Been car pooling and riding my motorcycle.

Here is a photo of my bike and had to get my new granddaughter in the shot.



Bob

[TheFreeman2005]

Wow Bob! That's a great looking bike and a great looking granddaughter! Congratulations on both!

I dont have a bike yet, but I do have an ATV I just got a few days ago... got a Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4x4i




And here is my other baby since I dont have a granddaughter lol. I've got a while to wait on that.



Be sure to post pictures when you get it!

[currybob]

Sweet!! Boys and our toys.

Photos will be made as soon as I get my molding and pin stripe and Harley tag on it.

Cain't wait to see what the power difference is.

Bob

[TheFreeman2005]

Yeah, I just wish the toys were not so expensive. LOL

Anyways, I dont think I posted this picture of mine going down the high way. I know my XRS has a lot of "oomph" for a 4 banger. The difference in acceleration between my car and my mom's Camry 2.4 is amazing. I know my car is geared real deep so it runs high RPMs. I'm wondering what yours will be like..



yeah, thats 5th gear.

[currybob]

Well we will soon find out!!
