New Member - Hello!
Wassup, fellow Lexus owners?!
I've been reading threads from this forum for quite some time, so I decided to join today. I just wanted to stop by and say hello!
I currently own a 2016 Tacoma 4x4, full-cab, TRD Sport, manual. I bought it to be mature and think about the future (prepare for family and whatnot)...but who am I kidding I'm still really young and I need to live a little! I've been looking for the right ISF, and it has definitely not been an easy search. Luckily, as you guys know, the Tacoma has amazing resale value. I've already put it up for sale So, I've narrowed it down to the 2011 model year. It seems as though 2011 and after is when the ISF received the upgraded suspension and other nice little things. Anything above 2011 has too high of an insurance cost. I live in MD, so there aren't many options around me. Out of all the ones I've checked out, only one has met my standards, but to be sure I am having a friend who lives in that state to check it out to be sure. It has just under 33k miles and is just under 40k...what do you guys think - any room to haggle? I'm trying to get it for 37k as I still have to ship it from wherever and then tax, tags, title, blah blah. I love the ISF - I think it's the perfect 4-door car all around. It's a shame it has been discontinued. I'm a jap fan, so I have no interest in the c63 or m3, or s/rs4 (although they are sexy cars). I just rather drive my car rather than leave it in a shop Also, are there any issues I should be aware of? I tried to do as much research as I possibly could. What I came up with so far are: headlight bubbling, coolant leak, and melting dash. It is to my understanding the majority of the water pump issues should've been solved before the 2011 model year. I hope I can be an ISF owner soon!!

Thank you! Whoa...35,500?? That would be an amazing price personally speaking. The car is not a CPO. It's just at a used car dealership - seems more like a high-end used car dealership judging from their inventory. Car has clean carfax and pretty much checks out on everything else. Just need one of my friends to visually inspect it. It has a clear bra too!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but there seems to be no negotiating with these cars. Anything I need to be aware of? Thanks for the input.

Welcome! I went from a 6" lifted Silverado to the F. Miss the truck, so I had to get a Jeep.
Let me know when its time to turn the F into a performance monster.. Or a slammed aesthetics machine.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!
@I8ABMR: I don't plan on tracking my car, but that's great to hear lol lexus reliability!
@ TheBuyer: Thank you for the tip. I was hoping to receive an answer like this.
@Meraki: I sure will! I don't think I'll miss the truck. Don't get me wrong the truck is great, but once the ms. and I get married I'll probably just get her a 4runner and call it a day lol
