bit of a necro here... The water pump apparently was leaking since or around purchase lol. I heard the AC compressor making noise every time it came on so I was going to see if I could just replace the clutch bearing, or clutch itself, and saw my coolant down to less than an inch in the...

I was just going to post this lmao.

How is this dude not getting tagged by the government somehow when an odo rollback shows up on carfax? Good post. God I can't believe some people

Anyone know a good high speed, cheap grinder? I had one for my previous vehicle but it was fancy and has the simulated circular hand movements built into it unfortunately

Hey sorry, didn't go in till today. The dealership will buyback but I'd lose two grand, so I chose not to do that. There is some ghetto warranty that I got(I have never purchased any warranty on anything ever, only paid to extend a home warranty that replaced a 5,000 dollar AC condenser (thank...

Hello friend! No disrespect meant on the Cali thing I just know how people in this state are about it(pls no derail other posters) I should have an update monday, a lot of stuff came up. The more I look at it also the more tolerable it is. The spraypaint makes everything look malformed when in...

You know I double checked the tires last night and found that they are all terrain with the mountain snowcap icon on it, as well as another snow icon. While driving my wife into work today in -3 degree temps with packed snow, fresh snow, and sludgy snow they gripped the road really well. It...

Well I talked to someone with only so much decision making power and the owner is calling me tomorrow. I don't have a good feeling about this. They are willing to replace an axel and(maybe or?) struts... and add the skid plate that's missing. I was open to having someone treat the rust as those...

I do have the fax and the service record history from the Toyota site even, its quite odd

Thanks.. going to think on it after I find out what's up tomorrow. Don't think I'd get anywhere near 10k in an adjustment, even with the rust advertised in pictures before sale(at least in CO)

Still near a coast, wonder how else this would happen. Way less worried about debating how or why though and more into opinions on the state of the rust

Special people driving on the beach and into the water isn't an issue?

Here's some of the front with radiator support, jesus What would it take to make it right for you? A complete buyback? I was thinking of having them remove the rust and paint where possible(this shouldn't be my labor) so I can have a real idea of how fk'd it is, and have them replace any...

No it isn't, but they had glowing (non fake) reviews and really do seem to stand by what they sell. I just don't know how they would right this other than doing what you guys are recommending and even then I don't know if it's worth the premium I paid because of low mileage. Full disclosure is...

Parker, and I just got this thing and the dealership claims to be really straight forward and will right certain wrongs, sometimes even years later. The guy who sold it to me is going to talk to the owner but I have to wait until Monday(meanwhile I lose my mind) and I have no idea what solutions...
