Tell me about it. I've got two dealers quoting me a delivery date of Dec 12th for a Limited V8 270HP 4Runner. I guess whoever said January was off the mark a little bit.
It's nice to see the people at Toyota are not a bunch of dummies and let a buying opportunity go buy for those interested in an extra tax deduction before the end of the year.
More 05 V8's (2WD/4WD, Limiteds, Sports, SR5s) at Longo Toyota. See their inventory on-line at www.longotoyota.com. Unlike Carson, they usually have the cars on the lot when they show up in the on-line inventory.
I picked up my 05 Sport V8 4x4 on Dec 16th...at the time, it was THE ONLY one of 1068 4Runners available in the southeast that was a Titanium Metallic sport v8
btw, I paid $32 before taxes for mine...had 3 miles on it....leather, sunroof, drl, dd cargo, 10spk jbl surround sound system...
in case anyone in SoCal is interested, I saw a V8 4R w/a chrome grille the other day while driving by a parking lot (Montclair). I'm assuming it is a '05 V8 SR5 since the '05 SR5s comes w/chrome grilles.
