That HAD to have been a factory order.  Ain't no way any dealer ordered on for the lot.

It's Quebec, it's entirely possible that was on the lot.

That was yesterday. Demand has dropped like a rock in the last 10 years. Fwd SUV's don't sell well either.

Very nice.
Are the seats in those better than the Mazda3?
Also, how much was this new?

$24,900

Of the ~5300 CX-5s on AutoTrader, 39 are marked as manuals. No doubt some of those are mislabeled automatics though.

This popped up on the local kijiji, looks like a lot of car for $4K, too bad I'm not in the market for a RWD V8 sedan.

Tacoma TRD Sport, Voodoo Blue, 6-speed manual.   :drool:

If I didn't already have my Tundra, man would I ever seriously consider this truck.  It's perfect spec. 

Maybe I should sell my Tundra to my BIL and buy this.  Oh man, would my wife ever kill me, though.  I'd have a hard time going from the V8 to a V6, too.  Plus smaller cab.  No.  Can't do it.  Crap, I'm starting to sound like BWII.

The drop to the V6 would be too hard on ya....otherwise thats a great truck.

Manual transmission would be a great consolation, though.  Man do I ever miss driving a stick.  I should look at trading the beater Civic for a similar year Civic SI.  I'd love to have another K20 screamer and a snick-snick transmission.

A Civic SI, for sure.....a manual in a Taco, meh. With a Civic at least you could have a bit of fun on the offramps and such.

I agree.  I'd never want truck with a manual tranny.  No way would i want to deal with a manual for something like pulling a boat out of the water and up a launch.   :shake:

It's not that bad actually... did it with the Wrangler for 2 summers. And most newer manuals have the "hill hold" feature which makes it even easier.

I think I saw that car the other day actually. Caught my eye since you rarely see those.

You're over 6' right?  You probably won't fit then.  My kid is 6-2, and he sat in one, and his head was on the ceiling.  So I guess it's one for me then...I'm a wee bit under 6'.  5'11 and 3/4" - like Jacob, only shorter.  I do like it, looks pretty cool in that blue too.  But $48g...yikers.

Love that colour. I've been looking at those for awhile. Just can't stomach the price.

When the bubble opens up I may go look at this  https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/fredericton/2013-toyota-tacoma-2wd-access-cab/m562678?undefined
Just a basic truck similar to what I have now.

Also saw this one  https://www.autotrader.ca/a/toyota/tacoma/kentville/nova%20scotia/5_50945725_20151123170122798/?showcpo=ShowCpo&ncse=no&ursrc=hl&orup=17_10_25&sprx=-2

Dkaz I found your old Toyota Sequoia. https://www.capitaljeep.com/vehicles/2002/toyota/sequoia/edmonton/ab/50853566/?sale_class=used

That dealer's pricing is hilarious.  2010 Dodge Caliber with 206,000 km, $7,888.

Yeah really, probably should be $10k more. If that's real someone better jump on it.

Imagine how many phone calls and messages are sent inquiring about this truck.  Definitely underpriced by $10K.

With the way these have been priced lately I'd say a bit more than that. Most  I've seen locally are asking around  $35,000.

Yes I think they will get a few calls.  From a Toyota dealer as well.
