Default just got my alpha today

Hi i sold my FJ to buy an alpha, i used the costco auto buying program and got it for invoice without having to bargain, wow does that make car buying easy. First off I drove both the I5 and the V8, the improved steering system and the V8 make this truck come alive, i like it so much more than the FJ, and with the adventure package it drives like a dream compared to the FJ. The leather interior is very comfortable and the monsoon sound system is very good. I been reading about the alpha on here for awhile now and decided to buy one. I got the nav system on ebay for $500 sure beats paying $1700 for it.
