CPO 2017. Picked it up a few weeks ago. Already taken to a high performance driving track day. Best all around car I've owned so far.

Car is completely stock. Planning to do the USRS upgrade soon, so will be interesting to see how that improves handling on the track. When the rotors and pads go I'd definitely upgrade to the RR rotors and EndLess Type R pads. Reducing the rotational inertia will help with handling. The car has more than enough power stock (at least for my driving skills)
I paid mid-KBB 2017 CPO value around 61k. Car had 20,000 miles when I picked it up. MSRP was a hair under 90k. Maybe there was like $500-1000 wiggle room, but I wasn't aggressive over pricing since it was a fair offer and it is how I would've have optioned the car. You'll definitely save a little if you go nonCPO, and in all likely hood since it's a Toyota, the car will run to 200k without much maintenance cost, so CPO may be overkill. I went with CPO b/c I knew I'd be tracking the car a couple times a year - Have about 41 months left on the warranty.

It did well on the track. Really impressed with how well balanced it is for a full size sedan. The limiting factor was undoubtably my driving skills. I'm a compete noice. I've only been on a track many years ago on a motorcycle. I'd definitely recommend attending a High Performance Driving Event. It's safe and there's tons to learn. The car didn't skip a beat. Did 3x 20 minutes sessions, skipped the 4th session to head home early. Oil temps were fine and never had any brake fade.

Congrats on the USRS, I'll be interested in hearing your initial reflections on the upgrade. Did you upgrade to the SPC Performance Camber Rear Camber Arms too?

Like to make a shout out to Josh from Meraki for the extremely fast shipping and info on the Swift springs. Sitting flush with H&R spacers all the way around .

Thanks!!! It handles really nice. It feels like its planted alot better now. Ride quality is OEM. 20mm in the front and 15mm in the back. Only installed a week ago .Shocks still have alot of travel because this morning I went over a big speed bump and right as the front made it over it dipped down significantly but never bottomed out. Wife approved ride. 2 thumbs up.
