I went over it with a fine tooth comb, then had the full monty done at the PPI. I watched the pressure test & stress tests.
I drove it 40 miles in 99 degree heat yesterday, gauge is painted between 1/4 & 1/2. No leaks or any issues.. He just responded he will not pay for the flush. I am going to call corporate and point out if I had not stopped and paid attention they would be paying for a motor.
I am waiting for the dealer a mile down the street from my office (that I am in and hating it) to open to get a quote for both and fluid changes for the differentials & transfer case.
My best guess is it was never checked for years and driven minimally in cool conditions, it was in their possession since February per carfax & the date they transferred the title to them.
Sight unseen shipping a used car seems like a disaster to me and I'd never do it. Only for a new car. I'd go so far as to find a friend in the area to check it out before I pulled the trigger. Good part of being part of large car forums is that many of the larger metro areas are well covered with fellow car nuts.
I seem to have gotten lucky but I agree. I did buy the warranty for just this reason, that I was buying a crapshoot.

Seems excessive seeing as the key itself can be had for 20 bucks (I got one yesterday identical to the one I got from the dealer) I'm waiting for two more I ordered to program them myself.
How about that hazardous charge? What was disposed of? The key filings from cutting the key????
Did you run it by the other guy that's paying for it for approval?
Every step of the way. I called the dealer at 7am when they opened. Got a 225 quote. When I got there there was a problem reading the ECU & the slots were full so it needed a full wipe so it became 330 (plus tax)
I called as I was waiting (obviously I was doing it either way) and he said just send me the receipt.
He won't do the flush, I'll get over it & do it and all the fluids myself.
Glad you were reasonable to deal with on the key.
Not being able to read the ECU is probably why the valet key was the only thing included to begin with.

I'm always reasonable (as long as the person I'm dealing with is not a douche)
lol
Now that It's fixed I should be able to code the three keys I bought myself, the first came yesterday. Indistinguishable from the dealer key for less than 1/2 (20 vs 42.74)
Also, I finished programing the remote start when I got home. Happy that is done.
I'd love to. Unfortunately, the rear springs I paid for are unavailable until (per Vivid Racing 6/30) but per Dobinsons 7/15. Also the tires suck and I want 18" rims (20s really)???
I'm a little disappointed he pointed that out before it was on the truck.
FRS was a pretty funny one.
You have a thing...you can't be trusted with springs.
Do they sell a lower grill insert that matches the upper upgrade?
Looks MEAN

I'm the greatest spring installer in the world, I know more about springs than the engineers.
or
I was seeing if you were paying attention.
or as I said in the first place I’m an idiot.
thanks Morgan.

inserts that fill the holes are at the body shop being painted. Ready tomorrow but it’s near work and I go to the office Thursday.

Thanks, do you mean the grate in the bumper?
Here's what a 2021 looks like, really all that's different is the fogs I think (I have fogs to replace the glazed over fogs that are there)
Difference between painted metal & painted plastic?
I remember a girl in college with an MR-S that was 4 or 5 shades of yellow due to paint taking to different materials, OE & body shop after she'd gotten some mild body damage.

Don't care, loooove it!
If I could, I'd do Tundra 86'd for an 86 which was 86'd for a Sequoia.
How about "Indecisive and Impatient: Waiting on Parts, Shipping updates inside".
Silver is so hard to match, glad you're happy...
I was never indecisive, I just became disappointed with the 86, also, I told the salesman I would regret the purchase when I bought it. THAT'S DECISIVE!!!!!
