Here's one aspect nobody seems to think about...The cost of the gearbox unit itself.
Obviously, internal costs are less than these numbers, but if we look at the Toyota Dealer retail prices of the ZF8HP51 assembly ($13,044.50), vs the GS6L50TZ ($6,992.55), we get a difference of $6,051.95...
It may no longer be exclusive, but it's also not like you have the choice to 'order' a vehicle with it. Toyota will request a certain number of certain color combos for the build contract, and then it's happy hunting if there's one you're dead set on having when Toyota peppers the allocations...
I want the Tuxmats sooo bad, but I'd have to cut the left side up to not cover my awesome matching dead-pedal, visible in the lower corner of this picture. That and they're on the pricey side, and yes, I know, $60+k car blah blah ?
I have no idea about this "hazelnut" you speak of, but my Cognac ;) is holding up well. The driver's seat got discolored by blue jeans & dark shirts rubbing during ingress & egress, but a generic leather cleaning wipe and a little elbow grease cleaned it right up.
You technically mean the RIGHT FRONT (Passenger side), and yes, the fitment is pure shit.
I would imagine that Dream Auto Group is where he bought it from. They bought it back, then shipped it to another one of their stores halfway across the country where A: its history is easier to conceal...
At least Sky is trying to improve by sacking Paul Di Resta aka The Devil Himself ?
Seriously, it's worth watching RocketPoweredMohawk's entire video catalog just to hear him rip "PUAL" to shreds at every possible opportunity!
It sucks for the guy, but he did jack for research on the car. I understand Toyota dealers not really allowing test drives on the brand new ones, but a used car dealer not letting you drive it is bullshit, and a major red flag. It also looks like the front right bumper corner doesn't line up...
Yes, they drain perfectly. Water enters around the stock ones too, and there's several drainage holes in the hood...which is aluminum so there's no need to worry about rust or anything either.
I'm essentially positive that CU Later isn't coming back on US models. It was a once-and-done thing, along with the Cognac interior. Just like the 2021 Refraction and Blue/Black contrast stitched interior.
I might be a bit biased, but yeah, THIS is the A91 to have. It's got the lowest production numbers (vs the other A91 editions), and some of the coolest unique features. Good luck with sale, and somebody's gonna score an amazing example of one!

Yeah, I'm showing an installed price of $1015.88 out the door for a pair of OE Pilot Super Sports at my local dealer. The PSSs are also in really short supply right now, with more expected to be available by about 7/14.
Your price isn't too far out of line for these things.
This is completely true, and I've become well aware that the 6MT makes the one-two shift a lot better if you get some higher rpm into it. You don't have to wind out the other gears to get a better shift action though, just the one-two. If you REALLY want to love your shift action, ditch the...
