How are those Phaeton sales going VW...
While I' at it, VW really nailed it with the Toureg....Jumping on the SUV market as soon as gas prices shot up and SUV sales plummeted.

Hey everyone here is acting like chads the size of earth. Its an IFS lowered rail, it has a buick swap, its not Yota, its a Toy that is to be played with that cant even be played with hard because your running IFS, its basically street queen crap. I wouldnt even think of paying more than 2000$ for it. These guys saying 7000$ are either miracle workers or live somewhere were normals laws of supply and demand dont exist. Take it where they are paying most for it. If you can drive it somewhere and get 5000+.. Take it there. In fact, I will ship our 5 Toyotas from Georgia (rust free beauties) if I could be guaranteed 4000$!!! Maybe I dont think its worth anything since I rock the U.P. and WI, but from my perspective, those numbers are crazy. The truck is completely built for comfort and road driving. Not offroad.

Damn, seriously the hatin in this thread is so out of place on YT. All cars have their issues, VW over the last 5 or 6 years was plagued with coil pack recalls on the 1.8T and window regulator problems that just never seemed to go away. Thankfully everyone here bought a problem free Toyota truck *cough*head gasket*cough* and should enjoy a lifetime of maintenance free driving *cough*steering column*cough*. VW might not enjoy Toyotas appliance like reliability but at least VW’s don’t put me in a coma. I mean come on the Echo, the Prius, Corrola, Camry(finally looks interesting again) Avalon? All about as stylistically exciting as wet cardboard. Where was Toyotas 270hp AWD 6spd manual midsize family sedan? Oh wait VW made it. How about Toyotas Luxury SUV with height adjustable suspension watertight to 24" front and rear lockers descent control and so many features that Porsche decided to produce a version under its own badge? Oh that was VW too (PS how many times has Toyota won Paris to Dakar lately?). Well at least the next time I want a small fun car I can head down to Toyota and get a hatchback with 250hp AWD leather navigation and all the goodies and THE FASTEST shifting clutchless manual in existence outside a Ferrari F1 transmission right? Oh damn VW made that already too. At least Toyota beat VW to the punch on a 425HP AWD ultra luxury sedan (if you say Lexus I'll says AUDIBENTLEYBUGATTI yes its one word and all of them are VW's!). I suppose I can rest easy in the knowledge that when I want a champagne tan Solara with gold plated logos I know the world will never run out of those because while VW was making some slightly less reliable but infinitely cooler cars Toyota was pumping those out faster than an epileptic kid having a seizure while playing with his play doh fun factory. Now I’m sorta just playing smartass devils advocate and cars are a very personal choice so when you poop on a brand your def going to insult somebody (we might all agree on the Yugo perhaps). Recently the Scion brand has breathed some life back into Toyota along with the FJ. The rest of their SUVs have become bloated mall crawlers. Pickups are probably still pretty good I like the Tacoma a lot. Remember something about your car spoke to YOU and something about another speaks to somebody else and if we all thought the same we would all be driving .....well Corollas.

lol, because we all know the truth is hate. I've detailed Kias before, cheaply made crap. It's Korean, what can you expect? Hyundais are just.. ugly.
How about the Wasserboxer? VW's Boxer 4 banger? Strong as hell, and water cooled

Personally as soon as someone has hacked it (good or bad) the price just went way down. It is not a Toyota anymore it is just a toy. Toys are only worth something to someone else that wants a toy to play with. I would give you max $1800 because the tires, lift and seats are worth something, everything else is custom stuff that is only worth something to you...........
That is just how I see it.

People are so immature its unbelievable...the attitude that toyotas never have problems is halarious. My 4-runner had it's share of little problems over the years but it was tough and never left me stranded on the side of the road. Did a HG (A BIG PROBLEM) and it wasn't totally absent from other little problems, but overall it was a tough quality made vehicle. Good luck with you new car and selling your old one!! The truck looks real nice, I'm sure you won't have a big problem finding a willing buyer. Hope you still stick around yotatech.com!

Honestly..the way some of you have acted is ridiculous. Grow the ˟˟˟˟ up. I have been on many car forums, and NONE of them bash other cars/people the way you do (besides pirate) Its sad to say, theres only a FEW good people on here. The rest...well your a waste of time. Goodbye
