Thanks Spec.

Anyone with opinions on keeping the extended warranty? Toyota gold $1700 4yr 50K. Here is the coverage matrix: http://warranty.actontoyota.com/warr...omponents.aspx
I think I have 30 days where I can back out.

While it's 0 deductible they still charge for diagnostic time from what I gather reading in Tundra forums which really ticks some people off..I usually never buy extended warranties as I maintain my cars well but my new ride is 10 years old. But paying $12,900 feels so much better then $14,600.

So I called to cancel it but the finance guy isn't in until Monday.

I knew I over-paid for the car and let my heart do it. Look what I found with matching VIN from their other delearship. It has the right rims and is over $2,000 less on the asking price.

edit correct link:http://cheapcars4sale.us/car-detail/...757814422.html

I'm usually good at buying cars. I negotiated $3,500 off my last purchase of my used sonata but they got me on this one good as I showed my cards early. The car is that nice that even after seeing the lower price I am still happy. I guess someone in the dealership liked the rims and scooped them off.

I have a question. Is it normal for the car to make me chuckle out loud? It happened a couple times driving today.

I found that original ad with larger sized photos and attached one. Man I wish I had those rims. The dealer is clueless where they went but it was worth a shot asking. At least it explains why a car with such low miles didn't have the original rims....someone took em I think those might be the factory tires in that pic also, optional Goodyear Eagle GS-Cs.

The first ad also has the car with a ball shift ***. Mine now has a leather wrapped H. Which is stock?

I'm pretty sure that the one with the H is stock. I think I remember hearing that you could get a Hurst shifter as an option and those are the ones that say H. But... I could be completely wrong haha.

As for the whining in 5th 6th, mine did that when i first bought it at 50000 miles. I changed the fluid in the trans. and the dif. and it's definitely not as bad now.

the leather shift *** with an h is the hurst shifter, so it should be the stock one, i use a larger ball shaped **** and would def switch it out if i ever got rid of my car, i love it, and theyre like 50$
