Hi from Walnut Creek, California!

[floppy]

Hello everyone from Walnut Creek, California!

I am currently driving a Polestar 2 and an eGolf, but with two children under 2yrs old in car seats and a golden retriever, I need a bit more space. I would also like my next car to stay with us for a long time and support a more adventurous lifestyle. Enter the LC!

I am in no hurry to get a new car, but after test driving LC, 4Runner (6th gen) and Honda Passport, I have fallen in love with the Land Cruiser, so I am now looking for a deal below MSRP or a gently used specimen.

Last week I test drove a beautiful, gently used trail dust LC Premium that unfortunately got away at the last second

The search continues…

Hi, floppy.

I’m just across the Benicia bridge from you and I can recommend Livermore Toyota, talk to Rick and Sal., or Capitol Toyota, talk with Jonathan. Both have given or offered solid discounts on new LC’s. Good luck.

Also, I am quite convinced that was Rubycred’s old ride:

💨 Sold / Gone - 2024 Land Cruiser LC in Traildust with 4K miles ($67K) -- located in SF Bay Area

Well, the time has come, and it is with a heavy heart that I post my 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser in Traildust with white roof for sale. We ended up picking up the GX with a third row when one finally became available last month. Asking $67K OBO. Sticker price was $70,805 (not including taxes and...

It was a last minute to pull the trigger and now learning it was the right decision to act irresponsibly haha

And I think you're right, that certainly looks like the same LC!

Congrats! Which dealer did you pick it up from? Were you able to negotiate a discount?

Thank you!

Got it from Concord Toyota. I had to show them a discounted offer from Sunnyvale Toyota ($3K) and asked them to beat the discount (not the price, since the other one had an inflated MSRP). They did, offering $3200 off MSRP, without any gizmos apart from SBD and 20” wheels. So I asked them to throw in the all weather cargo mat and they did.

Since I live very close to that dealership and I needed my wife and infant child to come along, I decided it was not worth pushing further and bought the car the same day

Fun fact, there is a Trail Dust with 6K miles on it at a BMW dealer in Concord, and the salesperson would not even match the price I got for my new one
