[Kansas Law Dog]

This poll will be skewed depending on how far after March 27 you purchased your FJ Cruiser. The early buyers rarely, if ever, were able to purchase less than MSRP, while the later buyers might be able to wield some negotiating power. Most that ordered their FJ's prior to March 27 have taken delivery by now, but few had any opportunity to specify the build and port options they wanted. These early buyers pretty much bought what Toyota and dealers deemed to be the most profitable set up and were charged MSRP, and in some cases more. These people are the pioneers that led the way and proved that the switch is all that is needed to make ATRAC functional, discovered the shortcomings of XM radio, learned that TRD wheels/tires option equaled the purchase cost of 10 tires and wheels but received only 5 tires and wheels, identified and solved the roof rack noise, and learned that even 285/70R17 tires will rub. Additionally they discovered without aftermarket windshields, the Toyota replacement cost is astronomical. Options that we are still waiting for such as (1) hood protector would have saved many paint chips, (2) billet fuel door would have not necessitated purchase of locking gas caps in a $3.50 per gallon market, and (3) air dam would have solved how to lash a kayak to the roof. These pioneers braved the wilderness to blaze the trail and answer our questions, while paying dearly for the right. I say that the poll be reissued with another amnesty choice that says "purchased prior to May 27th so that others that follow could know the real market value". Hats off the Pioneers and thanks.
