TRD Aurion on Car sales

[Kia Kaha]

I was just looking around on car sales and came across this Aurion with decals all over it. I like it, but I think a few people would wanna race you in it.

Yeah its nice to look at, but i dont know if youd want to be driving around in it. On another note, that front window tint looks too dark to be legal..

Don’t think so. It looks a bit different. Plus that one only has like 2000kms on it

After hearing all that, I just HAD to go on a search for that thread because I could remember such a thing being mentioned as well.

A little bit of searching, and here we go:

What does this button do?

Either he got this photo from elsewhere and is lying, or that is the same one. I dunno.

Dude how did you get that build number. Do you work for Toyota (I suppose not or else you wouldn't have asked the question you asked)? Did you preorder the TRD Aurion?

Hey there,

No dont work for Toyota. But my Dad did for 40 years and I've owned toyotas all my life.

It was really just luck I guess.

I ordered mine the week they were released. (September 07). They were released on a Tuesday and I ordered it on the Thursday night.

When I ordered it the dealer looked up to see if any of my colour were currently on the production line.

He said there wasn't so it would be a month or so as they were only producing them in batches.

Then about a week later he rang back saying he had located one that was sitting in the factory at Melbourne unallocated. He said it took a bit of convincing to get it ordered but he eventually did it and it would save me from waiting till they produced another batch.

When it arrived at the dealer he rang me up and said guess what you are never going to beleive it, you got #1.

I did not beleive him until I went down there to pick it up.

I'm not sure why it had been put aside at the factory and whether toyota had any plans for it, I suppose I was lucky enough to order the right colour combination at the time when there was no others on the line?

Cheers.

The 3500S has a plain grey leather shift lever so that matches up to what the dealer is selling.

[Kia Kaha]

I will be watching this thread. Very interested in who actually has 0001 and what number this one is.

Sorry to offend but the 0001 in the pic looks like a bit of photoshop to me.
