I think the market is turning and prices are going down. I have been looking for a new or used Tacoma for a while and the new ones are still marked up, but the used market has a lot of inventory and has been dropping in price a bit.


That is a beautiful car!

I just searched Autotrader and it seems this is the only leftover new 2021 out there. Seems like a unicorn. I bet they will go lower ….

That is a really good price granted it is a two year old by model year.

Who wants to pay 100k for a supra?

Discount seems about right, 1% of msrp a month

My TE was the hardest car I have ever had to sell used. I tried for 6 months no hits and got lucky and traded in for good $$$ and the dealer took 12 months to sell it at a loss from what they gave me. Just some data on the TE..

Gorgeous car but can't say I'd like the red carpet..... Red seats and panels are fine, but I think the red carpet is a bit over the top.

The black mats should break up the red carpet effect very nicely.
Lexus and Toyota sports cars tend to shine only when they are out of production. This car will be seen as a steal years from now.

The TE is a car that there is zero market for.

Add in the fact Lexus charges more for it and has done little to really make it track worthily where
it counts WEIGHT what is the point?

It needs to shed a lot more weight and not cost more for doing so.

They should have also gutted the interior, a nice set of carbon bucket seats, and maybe more CF body panels (fenders and door skins).

And those carbon ceramic brakes, those a crazy expensive to replace and they are a wear item. No thanks.

Mine has the black all weather floor mats

Combined with the comma.ai self-driving system - this car is the ultimate road trip machine - it cruises at 90mph and self-steers

I can drive from Corpus to Houston and back within a day without feeling tired

I agree. This car is so much better than it gets credit for. You could drive it half way across the country, race it on a track for a weekend and then drive it back and never have a problem. Then do it again next week, and then the week after....

Yes, it does seem counterintuitive. You see less stuff compared to a regular RCF but you are paying more. One thing I noticed is that the handling feels much better than my GSF and the stopping power of the CB is on another level. One more thing, here in Ontario, there isn't one available/advertised on the market.
