Hi guys,

I found a 2011 Trail edition (no navigation)with KDSS with 12k miles-what's it worth in your opinion?

Are heated seats and option for the trail?

Any other options I should ask about? Thanks!

If you are purchasing, it's value is $27k to $31k. Be certain to run a carfax.

If its a Trail, heated seats are not an option, only options are Nav & KDSS; gray or black seats;
 
Why no nav? I'm trying to figure out if I should get it when I buy my trail and I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Got my 2013 Trail with KDSS and Nav, Entune, Etc.

I got a Proclip mount and put in my Garmin Nuvi after first week.

The nav system is weak, specifically wouldn't let me put in an address that is positively a valid address. Also, screen is blurred compared to Garmin. I don't need Open Table, or the stock market, etc.

I do love the satellite radio that comes with Entune but could have gotten it aftermarket.

KDSS is definitely worth it and I wouldn't be without it.

Because the only thing the Toyota nav does better than a politician with a double lobotomy is fit into the dash. It is that bad. As in, apparently the shortest distance between southern Kentucky and central Virginia is via Maryland bad.

Almost anything you buy on the open market from 2003 onward will perform better. And possibly sound better.

wow it's only worth 31k ehh...they are asking close to 34k. I know that's high though because I can see the new ones with kdss selling for 38k out the door.

Doesn't the standard radio come with satellite or did I make that up?

Haha I was starting to lean more towards an aftermarket touch screen unit like I've seen in some of the build threads but really like the idea of the nav screen being the backup cam.

These things hold their value well; I doubt there are many, if any TEs of any year and mileage selling for 27K anywhere. I think you'd be doing really well to pick it up for 31-32K.
 
In my market they are wayyyy higher than that $34-38k. (Atlanta) TEs are also fairly rare here. Hell, 4x4 4Runners are rare here too.
 
Well, if 31k is a great price, I'll sell my mag grey 2011 with 35000 miles, KDSS, Nav, RR sliders, Bilstein 5100's, Nitto TerraGrapplers and a front hitch, plus the original Tokico shocks for 30,500.

I know they closed that loophole in VA. Sales tax is now on purchase price, not the difference. Given MD's fiscal affairs, I am surprised to see this - perhaps a closer look at your invoice is in order ;)

WV auto sales tax is still on the difference. 6% of 40K is a chunk vs. 6% on 5K. Cheaper to trade still in a lot of cases.
