Blizzard Pearl no doubt.

Well I bought my new 4runner a month and a half ago in Vancouver, and was able to drive away with $3k less than MSRP. At first yes, the sales told me toyota does not negotiate. So I walked away and called the sales manager, and he invited me to come down to the dealership and was willing to...

Man I don't know where you get that from but it's totally NOT true. Yes, the sales people would definitely tell you that but just ignore them. Getting a new vehicle south of the border is just not worth the effort. Firstly most dealers in US do not sell new vehicles to canadians. Secondly you...

When I finally decided to get my 4runner, I walked into the dealer and told them either $4000 off the MSRP and we'll have a deal or I'm walking out. Eventually we shook hands at 3k off MSRP with toyota mats and engine heater ( I know its useless but they threw it in anyways). You gotta be tough...

I used to suffer from those nasty shocks, ouch! Easy way to get rid of it for good: get yourself a keyring that come with a piece of metal, can be anything, stainless steel, alumium etc. Hold on to that metal keyring when you enter/exit the vehicle. The static is built up from the rubbing of...

Congrats man! The limited has great interior features. Can't agree more on the audio system. Radio reception is crystal clear. However I wish the pole antenna was retractable. It scratches the ceiling at the undergroud parking where I work, it really sucks.

Thanks a ton! I'll definitely check that out.

I know! I waited and waited for them to leave and then there were always another group of people stopping by. It's a hotspot for tourists.

Btw, where do you guys get your cargo liner in canada?

Thanks everyone! I have a sony 16gb USB 2.0 I bought last christmas. Guess I'll get a corsair then. The Canadian ones do come debadged, and the dealer confirmed. PS: took my photos at cleveland dam, beautiful place.

Here it is guys, picked it up yesterday and already took it for a ride today. Everything is great except a problem with USB which is super annoying. Every time you turn your car off it loses the USB flash drive. When you turn on the car next time it won't detect the drive unless you pull...

Looks like it's not just me. At first I went to openroad toyota in richmond and destination toyota in burnaby. They are just terribad. Then I went to regency toyota on kingsway and settled with them since they are much more decent. Well, the previous two didn't set the bar quite high anyway. I...

Damn! Why would they use a prefect blizzard pearl limited for demo! It hurts my feelings. Just curious which dealer you got your truck from? I got mine from regency on kingsway. They agreed to throw in a set of free mats when I signed the agreement. Do you think I can still ask for more stuff...

Man aren't you lucky! FYI I live in Vancouver. Thanks for you inputs guys! The car is transported from another dealer which is located approxiately 550 kms away, so I'm pretty sure it was trucked in. So I guess 52kms isn't all that bad after all. Still I'll play unhappy and get them to throw in...

My 2010 Llimited just arrived in the dealer's lot today (from another dealer) so I immediately drove over to take a look. The car obviously had been driven and it has 52kms on it. The dealer told me it's been driven in order to have its paperwork doen i.e. freight & PDI. None of the seats were...
