NO DISCOUNTS ON THE TRD PRO, THOSE WILL BE MSRP
Looks nicer than a Camry but not worth it, maybe worth $5k more but not $20k+ more. handling and styling are toyota boring.
I was in a Toyota showroom just this Saturday. The prices were OUTRAGIOUS! They want 68k for a GR Corolla. The same for the new 2024 Tocoma SPORT! like.... it's not happening, not at these prices. Rather drive a junk yard car around before dropping that kinda cash.
Those are specialty vehicles that are going to hold their resale value they also make a 22k Corolla and a 31k Tacoma as well but I've noticed not too many like to talk about those 😅😂
@@MeynMotorGroup Tocoma's start at 40k for a barebones SR. not even the SR5. ua-cam.com/video/JLcqe_T2fy4/v-deo.html
True. I'm interested in buying a new car but these extremely high dealer markups turned me to a used Lexus instead. Greedy dealerships are keeping all sales numbers lower
@@MeynMotorGroupsame here: luckily I don’t need any cars and only want a new M5 competition. Haven’t pulled trigger yet. I’m a slow decided when it’s that much money.
It's not surpising. It's simple: Supply and Demand.
I drove a Corolla in my 20s - 30s, then a Camry in 30s - 40s, and I was in the market for a 2025 Camry to replace my 2012 Camry. I stumbled across the Crown XLE and I was able to get a good enough deal that I felt like it was a splurge and an upgrade from the Camry, for less than the cost of some 2025 Camrys. Now that I am almost 50, I love the smoother ride and higher seat. I had never even heard of the Crown a few weeks ago, and now I can't imagine my life without it.
Massive congrats on your Crown! It truly is an excellent product. Many are only able to judge cars based on specs and they wonder why they should pay up more over a Camry to get this. Answer is quite simple, this simply drives better, feels more solid and refined. It’s truly a luxury car driving experience that transcends the economy car experience of the Camry.
@@scotthavarth9423 Are those full size sedans? Bc I thought Toyota was the last ones making affordable full size sedans.
@@scotthavarth9423 You must not have read the original comment that you sub commented on. She has had Toyota's for the past 30+ years. She has moved up in class over time, from Corolla, to Camry, and now to the Crown which has the comfort of a Lexus with and better Fuel economy than any BMW every made to date! They are a lot more reliable than a BMW and a lot cheaper to maintain. She was in the market for a 30-40K car and and you are telling her to look at BMW models that range from 70K-100K+. You either have more money than the rest of us to buy these cars, or just like to burn your cash on repairs.
@@drewledger6386not just money. But more time too lol all those trips to the mechanic shop. Time is money. And the one thing we can’t get more of…Time. Yet people want to waste time by going to the mechanic shop? Lol just so they can stroke their egos
I just bought one last week! I got the Platinum model and I love it! - despite its high price tag. The ground clearance is great, there's ample room inside (maybe just a little short on head clearance space), the larger wheels don't compromise anything - it's a very smooth ride. I got the Oxygen White color and it's a classy look. Overall, very pleased with it.
Massive congrats my friend! That's def a fast vehicle with a lot of great features if it fits the budget then Platinum is cool enjoy!
Sounds about white
Owned Acura, Lexus and everything in between. This car is a Lexus without the 10k you pay for the L and without premium gas nor premium service fees. Made in Japan top notch quality, no rattle drive like floating over water, enough power, great gas mileage, this car will live 20 years and beyond. Very exclusive look and you don't see them everywhere, plenty of leg room, every safety feature you can think of, easy in and out of the car, top notch interior, everywhere i go people ask what is it and how sporty but elegant it is. Get it in XLE black in black and you would be amazed, another color doesn't look as good however the 2025 storm cloud looks good in pictures but the black in black luxury fabric is so underrated and it's a sleeper and we love it. If you want a greater value with ground clearance of 8.2 inches get the limited 2024 Venza. It's also a NX 350h in disguise trust, a lot of people are not aware how classy and Lexus like car it is and it's the last year here in the US but not around the world sold as a Harrier. all components are shared by Lexus and other Toyota so no shortage of parts, trust me grab one before they are gone, it's a classic quality, soft like silk and it's made in Japan. Have them both the venza in wind chill pearl is a beauty and have every luxury you can think of period. Both cars for 2k under MSRP not to bad for Lexus quality without the bage premium.
BULLSHIT.. Camry has more room, same engine, and $10,000 less....a sucker mobile.
you don't see them everywhere because they just came out and they are stupid expensive. Nothing about this car makes it worth 50k+. I drove it 2x, nice ride but not great. Not as roomy as a Camry in my opinion. I have an Avalon now, this was supposed to replace the Avalon, not even close.
Not even close for the 2024 crown xle, paid $39k + state taxes, that's it. So I agree 50k would be expensive but for what I paid, it is cheaper than the Camry 2025 xle with it being built in Japan, I think it is an old amazing car.
@@sailboatlighthouse I was looking at the loaded Crown so it was more expensive, then T3 was just over 52k. I want all the bells n whistles when I buy.
I just got the 2024 Crown Platinum Max and love it. The 21-inch wheels are just fine. It rides better than my 2022 Avalon XSE Nightshade and is way faster. I traded in my Avalon, which they gave me $1000 over buy-out, and got $4000 off to take the demo from the manager. I paid 50k.
My wife has a 2024 Crown, Platinum edition. 330 hp, very quick, ultra smooth ride, very comfortable, & regular gas. Packs more stuff than her previous Lexus. But being a sedan, long garment bag takes some planning. We love the car!
Online, it doesn't look that good, but people need to see this car in person. In person, it's got more presence than most Lexus models. There's a reason why Toyota finally decided to bring this version of the Crown to North America for the first time ever, even though the Crown name has been around for over 70 years.
Compared to the new Accord this Crown drives like an ugly sofa. And with that size, the car has very low door opening and super small space above the head. Bad!
I saw them in person… they are all sitting on the dealer lot. Not a good deal. Doesn’t look good.
The JDM version Crown (IMHO) is a much nicer car with more class and enough power, in any market......I don't know why the marketers thought up this thing
Drive nice but not a comfortable cabin for long drives. I'm 5'11' 210 lbs and it's cramped. The way the center console is my right knee rest on the center console and steering wheel doesn't go any higher to get a good driving position. For a large sedan we got 40 mpg driving from PA to SC. It's not a bad sedan. But unfortunately for me Camry a more comfortable car
cope seen it in person its cool but nothing special. its also bit too tall for a car...
I have a 2024 limited with the 21 inch rims and I can tell you the ride is surprisingly smooth for that size.
So is the Camry hybrid at $10,000 less--you got suckered kid
@@chadhaire1711 or I like what I bought and a happy with it, had a camry xse before my crown and would happily pay the 10k difference again.
I purchased the Crown Limited, I was looking to buy the Luxury trim Lexus but the Crown Limited was just as nice and i can drive it gas or electric. It’s a beautiful car, i bought the black on black, I love it
I have a 2024 Toyota crown XLe. The cost for me was affordable however the more bells and whistles you put on it the more expensive you get. Common sense. So I had mine equipped with just the stuff that I needed and I don’t regret it at all. It performs well is comfortable is very quiet as well as economical. Gas mileage was 40 miles per gallon on a 1200 mile trip that I did in April. What I recommended to others? Yes I would.
PS Toyota needs to do a better marketing campaign on this car. I have not seen that many only because Toyota is not doing too good a job at advertising them. They push the platinum and that’s what is expensive. You can still buy a lesser base model at a more economical priceand I feel Toyota needs to step up and promote this car.
I drove it a couple times but ai didn't feel or see a value of 52k, I can buy what I want and had the Crown been better I'd have one....not for me.....at that price....oh and ainwant all the toys with it, that's how I get my cars
I got the XLe. That one does not have all the bells and whistles where you have to pay extra for. I got good deal on the one that I have and that works. Hope you find yours someday.
@@Jeff-pq3zj May I ask how much you paid for it? I am looking for xle now and would like to see what would be a reasonable price. Thanks
I
I bought mine in March of this year. It had to be delivered from out of the area because there were not any available. Fortunately, for me, it came with all the equipment that I was looking for no bells and whistles, but who needs them it comes very well equipped as it is . List price was 40 K and that’s what I paid out the door. I would suggest you do some looking rather quickly because the price keep going up .
I just bought the 2025 crown in the new storm cloud color with the advanced tech pkg…..I absolutely love it! The 21 inch wheels are great…smooth ride! Love the height of this car! It’s easy to get in and out of.❤
Just pass 1000 miles with my XLT model very pleased what the car offering so far will get the sports or stations wagon style 3 years later!
I love ALL this WIRELESS with the NEWER cars!!!!! YOU GUYS ENJOY IT!!!
I want a Toyota crown... But will continue to drive my 2006 Toyota corolla

Thanks so much my friend for your kind words and support over these years! God Bless sir
We really liked some of these cars... was aiming toward an used Lexus. Crown... I dunno... seems redundant somehow... why not just get a fully optioned Avalon.
But, none of that mattered because we started to remember what the dealership process is like, and just bought a used Model X... you set up everything online, arrive, sign and date, do a walk-around, and off you go in 30"... painless... the only time in my life I actually liked buying a car.
Thank you for the input and review!
You can get the 360 camera (PVM) in the 2025 Crown. You have to buy the 'Advanced Tech Package'.
I am 6'2" and I had exactly 0.5" above my head in the lowest seat position at the driver seat. How is it even possible to produce such cars?
for the Japanese...
The ride is smoothe. It really grabs the road. The gas savings are amazing. It runs on 87 gas. On Eco mode you get approximately 700 miles per tank of gas. I like the fact that I don't have to plug it in. I like the height of it. It is easy to get in and out of. The trunk is spacious. The sound system is amazing. I love the interior it reminds me of starship enterprise. 😊
Love my 2024 Crown!! It's awesome...
It’s not really that the crown isn’t selling.. Toyota purposefully makes it as a low volume vehicle, they said they aim to make around 20,000 a year
I love the idea of the Crowne and it's something I thought they'd do to the Camry - hybrid and awd. I own the 2021 Sienna and love it! I've test driver the xle and platinum Crowne and the only other observation I have is that the glass on the platinum is thicker giving it a noticeable quieter ride. That's not enough for me, though, as I'd take the 40mpg in the limited or xle any day. Thanks for this info - much appreciated and I agree with everything you state here!
I have a 2023 Crown Limited and absolutely love it. I do feel like the black molding on my drivers door is pulling away though (,looks a little buckled), which affects the look. Currently I'm averaging 39.6 miles per gallon, which is also nice.
Platinum Max Felt like different class so I splurged Great car !
Congrats my friend!
The Japanese name is Crown Crossover.
The Crown is Toyota's second-largest car after the Century. The previous generation was exclusive to Japan, but the current model is now available worldwide. Although he is well known in Japan and sells well, he may not sell well in North America as he is a newcomer.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid is the same as the Camry. It's a little big and heavy, so the ride quality is mild, but it has the performance you need. Its appeal is that it has more rear seats and cargo space than the Camry.
The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbo hybrid generates 349PS/460Nm and exhibits high driving performance. The downside is that it costs $25,000 more than the Camry.
We are also looking forward to the design, performance, and price of the Japanese name Crown Estate (a crossover between a wagon and an SUV) scheduled to be released in the summer of 2024.
@@charlesjackson1700
Thank you for your reply.
Isn't it because demand for sedans is abundant and tolerant in North America? The 2025 Camry will not be released in Japan. It's a very good car though.
The Japanese-spec Crown is available in four names: sedan, sports, crossover, and estate.
@@charlesjackson1700
Wow! amazing! Getting information is fast!
That's right at all. Large cars such as Tundra will probably not be sold in Japan.
The Crown is selling well, probably because the Camry is not selling. Crossover is popular, but sedan and sport are struggling. The estate that is scheduled to be released will also sell well.
Test drove this, first one local dealership had that wasn’t already sold on arrival. Interior was great. Rode rough and it beeped at me 3 times during test drive to “keep my eyes on the road”. Bought a Venza limited. Would have bought the Crown, but the ride was rougher than the Rav 4 we test drove.
@@nealewalter check your tire pressure it’s probably at 50
@@MeynMotorGroup thanks, was just a test drive but it killed it for me. I was expecting much better and I see comments here as to the smooth drive. Happy with my Venza and it mileage.
I have a 24 Toyota crown platinum. The only thing I think is missing from the car is a rear window windshield wiper I mean, what’s more Japanese than rear window windshield wipers
For us down here in south east Asia.crown means: a jaguar..a Mercedes-Benz.. Bentley.. Rolls Royce..BMW..and 80-90s era Toyota crown especially the century ..and with 6 8 or 12 cylinder engine.
This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. I want the red and black platinum so bad
We have the Two-tone heavy metal Platinum, just a beautiful sedan that is way easier to get in and out of than our Maxima. On the highway at 60 mph we consistently get 45 mpg, that is very impressive. We love this car.
60 on the highway? Please stay far away from the left lane or better yet stay off the highway in general 😂
@@MeynMotorGroup We have only two lanes in our area and a 55-mph speed limit, no matter the limit I always go 5 over, but I will watch out for you.
This car looks so good in person. I did a triple-take.
Yea presence in real life is good as long as the car is not finished in the two tone paint, I think the looks are just fine.

I'm in the minority, but the Crown has some real road presence. With the exception of a few styling elements, I actually like it alot. I really like the new Nightshade edition.

@@matw1x Exactly
For 2025, Crown is available in the Storm Cloud color. I thinks it's the best looking color on the Crown.
I'd buy one if i could afford it
Exactly I was at a Toyota dealership and they wanted $50K for a Prius!!! That is crazy!!! They add an additional $10K to the sticker trying to sucker people into going for that!!!
Going into a dealership is the biggest waste of time use a broker and be done with it
Very informative! Thank you very much. Best Crown video on the net.
Thank you my friend I’m glad it was valuable!
Disagree on the platinum.. it the one to get .. further it has better ride quality due to the fact it has adaptive suspension at least in the version we get in Dubai, plus other features like soft closing doors and plus other goodies and best of all we get the crown badge😊
Thanks for the information 💯 I’m looking between a Crown, and the last edition Nissan Maxima.
I’m just about the biggest Toyota fan there ever was but even I just don’t “get” this car. Especially compared to the rest of the crown line. What were they thinking?
It's an Avalon replacement that's all.

While I am not an owner of a Crown, I am interested in the Crown Signia when that comes out later this year. I was also in Tokyo for vacation a couple of weeks ago and I saw a good amount of Crown sedans on the road used as black cars/taxis. They're very nice cars, but we're just so SUV crazed here in NA.
I drove the 2024 2x, it was comfy but not great. There was nothing about that car that made it worth 52k, before T³
57k for top of line version is absolute insanity. I can spend 57k and get a brand new Genesis, BMW, Audi, Acura etc. That level of cost is insane for a toyota sedan.
I saw Toyota Financial went with a lower APR on this model. So they clearly acknowledge it is less popular. Curiously one of my nearby dealerships has the Corolla hybrid in stock listed for 23768 and a dollar more for a gray interior instead of black. It is however an _arctic white_ exterior, which in San Antonio just going four days without driving often will see a dirt covering.
Yea I feel like most people don’t even know this exists which is great for those interested because they can scoop it up at a great discount and lease/finance deal. Corolla Hybrids from what I’ve see have been going for sticker sadly
Full size sedans aren’t popular, that’s y in 2020 everyone stopped making them.
Does Jim have an inventory list of what he has access to along with prices for all that he can obtain them at?
Or do you tell him the vehicle you’re interested in and he gives you information and price on just that one?
Visit the LeaseHackr forum and find Jim’s page that will have the inventory list that I showed in the video

I wait the 2025 Crown Sport !❤😂🎉👍and 2025 Crown Signia👌
No crown sport for usa
I had trouble even getting in the driver seat until I figured out how to roll my left shoulder.
It's a large car with a very cramped interior space. There are lots of other options that won't give you neck pain from its low roofline.
Maybe if you're 10 feet tall but for most people they will be pleased
I'm 6 ft with a long torso. Toyota isn't known for making roomy vehicles.
@@churrocapitan9380it doesn’t feel cramped to me inside at all and I’m 6’5”- cramped was the ford Taurus from back then and Nissan Maxima.
@@2004cyrus I’m nearly 6 ft tall and I have no issues sitting in any car in fact I usually have room to spare, just need to learn how to sit in cars properly. I put the seat all the way down then bring the recliner up…sitting up straight essentially only slightly obtuse and I’m able to see the road and offer space to people behind me and I am comfortable on long journeys
Cramped? Why are you lying?
I'm currently in a lift back Prius. I would seriously consider a lift back Crown. I believe Japan gets it, I hope they will bring it to the U.S.
We get the Crown Signia which is an SUV
@@MeynMotorGroup. I'm sure it is nice. I want the extra fuel economy of the car shape (it will still fall short of my Prius but my aging body wants a bigger car).
I have a minivan to cover my station wagon needs.
My lease was up so I went to Toyota dealer to check.. the Price is way too much . I ended up with CX-5 I pay a lot less and get leather seat and Bose speakers.
My Prius cost my family and I 43k… 43K!!! Marked up from 34k… and the car didn’t even come w floor mats… needless to say, we definitely got scalped, but my family wanted to get me what I wanted so I’m extremely grateful for my car.
It looks amazing inside but I can't get passed the exterior design, it is not a cohesive design in my opinion and I would never pay that much for a vehicle I can't love visually. That being said, I think the Crown Signia will be a HUGE success and will see this model just be phased out like they did with the Venza
0 to 60 in 5.6 seconds for the platinum. That could be considered fast
I saw this car parked next to me and I was like what car is this? It look nice and found out it’s a Toyota. Since when has Toyota made good looking cars?
Sense the Crown.
Great review! Does Jim deal Lexus as well?
Just Toyota
@@MeynMotorGroupthanks!
@@benz9063 no problem my friend
My wife and I went to our local Toyota dealer yesterday to test drive the Crown Platinum. As a senior citizen, the ride height is very appealing, and real easy to get in/out. The car has plenty of room and lots of technology on the inside. The turbo is blisteringly fast. The ride is smooth, but not as cushy as you might expect at this price point. We liked everything about the car……except the seats. I found them to be one level up from the wooden seats at our local sports stadium. I have a 2010 Infinity G37S, and those seats are light years ahead of the Crown. They should have used the seats from the Hylander Platinum, which are very comfortable. We were both really disappointed, since we were actually ready to buy the car if we liked the ride. Guess we’ll continue our search.
Thank you for bringing up the seats sir. I only tested the XLE 2024 with cloth seats. Those were comfortable and rode nice due to 19" wheels but I never got a chance to check out the leather option and larger wheels. For 2025, leather is standard across the board so I def need to try those seats. Thanks again for sharing your experience
We purchased a new 2024 Crown & are very pleased with it: hybrid, mileage, comfort, purchase price in January 2024 out the door $41k.
Great review Kevin, I agree it's a great car, my wife wanted to look at them and I kinda nudged her to the ES300h. I really think the interest rates combined with the price is the problem. Without trying to sound arrogant or wealthy I'm a numbers guy, the numbers I see infer that many of the average consumers and families with all the other inflationary conditions simply cannot afford them. Combine people paying market adjustments and other nonsense it will get worse, because many will be buried in the cars they would like to trade. I would not be driving what I own if I was not able to have borrowed the money from myself.
That's what used cars are for
I've seen 1 of these cars on the road and 1 at the dealer. Not sure why they are not selling to be honest. I guess the Camry still rules the roost over at Toyota.
None on dealership lots. Dealers in a mess these days. No new cars on their lots. No inventory. I was ready to buy Toyota crown but nobody had one on their lot in my state
This is a crossover in sedan interior. The great solution in modern life, when you can take off in nature roads with no worries. First such a car was presented to world by Honda, it was Honda cross tour.
Finally got the time to watch this.........
Thank you my friend!
For 'the typical mass market car buyer', if they are going to spend $40K on a vehicle, they are going to want an SUV. Sedans are only popular when they cost less than the comparable SUV. So, the new Camry should be a big seller. But the Crown, not so much.
The other problem with the mass market is they don’t have a clue about how to get good deals on a vehicle.
Great review! Definitely a nice car. Just wish we didn’t lose the Avalon to get it, probably didn’t sell enough though.
The Avalon had always such a boring look.

@@matw1x I agree that the Crown should be here (USA) again (was here late 60’s/early 70’s). I really liked the last generation Avalon, but looks are subjective. The Avalon’s record for being a great vehicle is generally agreed on.
Yea my friend I was a big fan of the Avalon I am pleased with this replacement especially with discounts and how much one gets with the base XLE
Put a hatchback on it rather than a small opening trunk.
I would definitely trade in my 2023 prius for this Crown if it is a hatchback
I see tons of crowns everywhere in Austin Texas, one of the top issues toyota has is making cars that are too good so people don't really need new ones all too often
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your love and support my friend!
Compare to a full loaded ES, crown has better MSRP. But the trunk space is not so good.
Should have brought previous gen while still had chance. I loved few prev gen Crown Athletes and always wished they were in the US. Finally Toyota decides, AFTER disastrous design changes SMH
4 bangers at double the price going to be a huge problem for Toyota going forward but their hybrid drive systems get great press. Battery electrics continue to plunge in price and continue to revolutionize the driving experience. Long Sony strong buy.
⚡️ Crown should be converted in to something like BMW X5 or Benz GLE.
it should have been a liftback imo :) I love the nightshade but wish it was also offered in the platinum trim! it looks awesome in nighshade, jujst wish nightshade was an option for all higher trims as well.
Nah. Liftbacks make it more susceptible to theft.
That would be nice but incorporating a hatchback into a sedan really ruins the handling characteristics and makes the car feel sloppy. You need a really high quality chassis and suspension to make a hatch work like the Audi A5 or A7
I really liked the design of the avalon more. I'm sure this car is super nice too though. I haven't seen too many of these on the road though.. I feel like Toyota will discontinue these sooner of later and focus on the Camry but I could be totally wrong.
I agree my friend the market has spoken and it refuses to pay up for full size sedans that segment is done, that's why they unveiled the Crown Signia, that will take over and they will focus on Camry like you mentioned.
does it have double paned windows on front and rear?
Sadly I don't remember, I want to say yes in the front and no in the back
Have you had a chance to test drive the 2025 camry xse?
Not yet will this summer tho I’m sure it’s good
Love the car but Toyota prices are stunning right now. Who can afford it
It's really nice but i'm honestly dissapointed in it. The last few generation crown sedans sold in japan were so much better styled and had better features. I will never understand our countries need to make ugly crossovers out of good cars.
We bought a new 2023 XLE pearl white Crown three months ago for $36K so far we really like it !
Excellent well done and great deal!
they would put the crown logo on the front and the steering wheel
Funny our super Toyota dealer does not have any Crowns.
Jim sounds like a helpful kind of guy! Haha
So this whole video was just a plug for a 'broker' to act as a second middle man on top of the dealer to further siphon money out of your purchase.
I just watched Alex review of the Crown Signia including his road test. I was very disappointed. I had the Venza hybrid and hated the cramped interior and the hybrid itself. Two months ago I traded it in on a new Highlander gas turbo limited model. Very enjoyable driving experience.
The sunroof doesn’t open on the Crown Signia.
No one has driven the Signia and this is not a Signia, this is the Crown sedan sold in the U.S.
The Crown drive train and electronics are the same thing as the Camry. You are paying a lot of money for a different body. I dumped my new 2020 Camry before it's second oil change because of continuous problems. I never would have thought a CTV is better than a geared transmission though that isn't saying much with the new Toyota's.
That's only a quarter of the story. It doesn't take into consideration the additional sound deadening the Crown has vs the Camry and the in general tuning of the Crown vs a cheaper Camry.
BMW uses a B58 inline-6 in a 3 Series all the way up to a 6 figure 7 series.. big difference in performance, tuning, and refinement..
@@MeynMotorGroup $25k worth? Earplugs are only a few cents and will make both even quieter. I guess the up side is Toyota might try to fix the Crown when it acts up unlike they did with my new Camry. "Tuning and refinement" must mean making that crappy transmission work right. And the air conditioner. And the cruise control. And the windshield wipers. And gas gauge. And the weird popping noises from the engine. And the hot antifreeze smell. And the... I don't care about a little noises. I just want the old Toyota quality back. When you need to sit in the dealer waiting for hours just to hear all the problems are normal for these platforms (the same platform in the Crown), there's something wrong.
@@OnlyMeee-ie3dw bro you’re doing too much… literally showed in great detail how to get an XLE Crown for 36k..
Unless I’m missing something and you can get a new Camry for $11k
@@MeynMotorGroup Wish they were that cheap here. I stopped by to look at the body lines people were complaining about on the Tundra last week. The Crowns they had started in the mid to upper $40k. The first one I looked at was $52k after dealer markups. They still had 2023 and the dealer was still adding over $5k on top of MSRP even thought they weren't hardly selling any.
It's only cheap through Jim's Brokering Service. At my local dealerships, it's exactly as you describe a bunch of 2023 model years with markups on top.
Yes Jim charges a broker fee and if you're not local to PA or CA you will have to ship but even with shipping and Jim's Broker fee, it's still WAY cheaper than buying local with the ridiculous dealer games they play here in NC. Sucks buying new cars locally.
I had my 2024 4Runner shipped to me from PA to NC and even with shipping and Broker fee, I'm still under invoice on my 4Runner. I will never buy locally.
I'd like to buy a Crown but I'm gonna drive my 2013 FJ Cruiser to death.
I like the crown platinum, that drivetrain would be cool in a mirai. the crown seems a bit too tall from that high step in height, and unfortunately isn’t a hatchback. I thought a crown wagon was coming to the us but seems unlikely.
Hybrid Max in the Mirai would def be amazing considering it's a chopped up Lexus LS 500 flagship. Crown is only half inch higher off the ground compared to an avalon.
I have a couple months left on a cx30 turbo lease. I’m considering a cx50 turbo (or cx70 for that turbo inline 6 but I kinda don’t want a car that big) or 06 Lexus ls430 for $4500.
The Signia is coming.
Tell Toyota to make it Plug-in with high EV mode range. Id buy one.
Has anyone else used Jim to find a deal on a Toyota?
@@randomlyhaphazard4866 not sure what kind of answer you are expecting with a question like this…not even sure if you watched the video all the way through. Can’t become one of the largest Toyota brokers in the country without people buying from him.
I'm asking if anyone else on this channel has had experience with Jim and I want to know their experience. That's what I am asking.
I don't get it Toyota provides cars people don't want in North America, but vehicles people want like the Toyota Crown Sport they aren't bringing to North America. WTF?
Just what the world needs. Another bloated $60k car(without mark ups) and a $700 payment.
No wonder the Chinese is about to destroy the big three and Japanese car industry with their $12k electric car.
Well it's clear hardly anyone is actually watching these videos and they are just out here saying anything now. Literally showed how to get a brand new Crown for $36k in great detail...
Yo my bro can’t wait to comment on this one either 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
Yes sir gotta get your thoughts on this one!
@@MeynMotorGroup 🤝😎
because its too expensive for what it is. the limited dont even come with the 360 camera like wth
the AVALON was a superb sedan, not sure what toyota was thi king about but they missed, badly.
I think Toyota made a rare mistake on this one. They're ugly and, frankly, the interior plastics stink. I could say more. I'd hoped they'd be a worthy successor to the elegant Avalon, but was disappointed. Went with a Lexus sedan instead.
We wanted the Crown Sport.
The xle doesnt have seat memory, cmon toyota.
The problem is not the car. Like others have said…it’s the PRICE! I get the crown is supposed to be a more premium tier car but it’s basically infringing on Lexus products.
Beaters rule!
It not a real crown, it's a slap in the face version
I really like the crown but no one buy it so after 5y their will be no original parts for it
I want to keep it for 15 y
