Trolling Veloindy at the beginning of this thread refers to trolling. I have seen this before on this forum but don't know what it is. Every time I see the word it is described negatively so I know it's something that should not be done, but what is it?

I know Toyota gives dealerships 2% of base MSRP (not including destination charge) dealer holdback on each sale. I also know Toyota gives the dealerships 1% of base MSRP (not including destination charge) wholesale financial reserve on each sale. Does anybody know what Toyota charges...

Should have put this in the post above. Does the dealer make profit off the financing or Toyota?

Currently in the Chicago area there is a $900.00 cash back promotion from Toyota. Destination charge in the Chicago area is $565. Invoice cost of the Limited I'm looking to buy is $33,748. Add $4,508 of options, add $565 destination charge and subtract $900 Toyota cash back and the total is...

Does anybody know if dealers really have to pay the $565 destination charge?

Thanks. KBB had everything I needed.

One thing I don't forget to do is lock my car and turn on the alarm with the remote as I walk away. I don't even have to think about it. Toyota could fix this by having the window go up automatically when the alarm is turned on.

I'm planning on purchasing an 05 Limited V8. I have invoice prices for the vehicle and all factory options. Does anybody know what the prices are for the PIO options? Are PIO options prices the same as factory, MSRP and Invoice?

Leather Durability I have a Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon with black leather interior. 145,000 miles and the seats have held up remarkably well. They don't look new anymore but they do look almost new. I have only used leather conditioner on the seats once, maybe twice. My mom had a 73 T-Bird with...

Does anybody know if the 05 Limited has any more sound proofing than the SE or SR5?

My view is I don’t turn onto a street or merge into traffic in front of anyone unless I can do so without them having to apply their breaks or remove their foot from the gas pedal. Anyone that turns onto a street in front of me or merges into my lane and causes me to shut down the cruise...

Will good speakers and a good amp work? How about replacing all the speakers with good speakers and replacing the amp with a good amp? Can I still use the head unit with Nav? I want to have the stock navigation system. I am not interested in extreme loudness or pounding bass. I just want...

I am planning on buying an 05 V8 Limited with navigation. I've test driven one and in my opinion the stereo sounds like the speakers are firing through pillows. What I am looking for in a stereo is accurate and precise music and voice reproduction. I want the stereo to sound like I'm...

I have a black Volvo and in the summer, when there is no wind to move outside air past the sensor, I sometimes see readings over 120 degrees when I first get in the car after it has not been driven for a few hours (aproximate outside temperature in 90's). The first 10 or 15 minutes of driving...

Koz, What I mean by bypass filter is like what is installed on the Tundra at this url: http://www.newenglandsynthetics.com/TundraBypassInst.htm I guess I should have described in more detail that I would use a full flow filter along with a bypass filter. The hype goes, the bypass filters...
