There weren't any scratches or dings; it was shipped on a double decker auto hauler. I assume it was exposed, and not covered. I'm sure they have inspections, etc. before the car is released to you. Good luck.

In June, I bought a fully-loaded 2006 Land Cruiser for $800 over the dealer invoice (or approx. $7,200 off MSRP). I had to have it shipped from LA to SF. It cost around $350 for that distance. I bought the truck through a car buying service, Cartelligent, so they arranged the shipping company, etc. Not sure if that's apple-to-apples, but given the sustained high gasoline prices, I venture to guess you have more bargaining power now than ever before. I'd try to get the Texas dealer to match the out of state price, or at least match + $500 to them (b/c of the hassle factor of buying from out of state). That being said, aren't there sales tax savings if you bought from out of state? Might be worth it then to buy from out of state?

Hi All, I have a few questions about the bluetooth function and/or the phone dialing capability when the vehicle is in motion. (1) Does the NAV system enable voice dialing? (I have a 2006) (2) Is there a way to circumvent the inability to dial a number or even a 1-touch phone number stored on the NAV when the vehicle is in motion? (3) If not to the above two questions, how do you cope with the very limited ability to initiate phone calls - - limited to when the vehicle is stopped?! Thanks for your thoughts.

I bought a 2006 TLC (larger engine than the 2005, etc.) for $1,300 over dealer invoice (about $6-7k off MSRP). I assume a better deal could be had for the 2005 model, but you get a larger HP engine in the 2006.
