Any input is appreciated.
Purchase a Silver Sky Platinum 4x4 with graphite interior Memorial Day weekend. Options: EY, CK, RL and C7. MSRP $58904.00. (Paid: *$50944.00.) Plus floor mats (5) at no costs for all three rows of seats.
*My 2004 4Runner Limited 4.7L with 49.5K miles was traded so *$50944.00 is my best guess-estimate. Unless you get the real trade in number from the dealer, you can only guess. My dealer uses the Manheim Auto Auction information for offering a trade price.
The auction value on my 4Runner was $16500.00, not good for a vehicle that had a MSRP of $43600.00 less than four years ago. People are not buying 8 cylinder trucks unless they need them, so the prices are low. To make the deal, the paperwork showed my trade at $19400.00, $2900.00 more than auction value. The salesman said the manager was taking a chance in making this offer but she said he had to move iron, Sequoia’s were not selling.
MSRP $58904.00 Best Price: $53844.00 - $2900.00 (additional trade value) = *$50,944.00.
From what I am reading, this discount of $8K on a Platinum is probably about right. With 0% financing on vehicles that are not selling and everyone wanting a Prius, this is the time to deal on SUV’s and trucks.
Thank you Mack and hdfatboy for your advice and information. Anyone that wants to see pics of the best Sequoia color combo go to Discussion Title: 2008 Toyota Sequoia post #1679. hdfatboy’s Black with Red Rock is awesome. My wife is happy with Silver Sky, easy to maintain and keep clean.
This is an amazing vehicle. There are a few additional options that would be nice to have but then it be a Lexus for many $$$$$$ more. My wife would have appreciated an eight or ten way power passenger seat, she feels a near $60K vehicle should have this and I agree. But this is minor; overall we are very pleased with this truck. Rides great, very quiet at 75+mph, plenty of power. In three weeks we have driven 600 relaxing miles, are looking forward to trips this summer and fall.
If you need a large SUV, other than the LX570, which is a little smaller, this is the best one available. And if you can get the TFS 0% financing, this is a very good time to buy.
Thanks again

Here's a link to a dealer with $9800 off MSRP (DCHToyotaCity.com). You need to add $2000 back on if your going to do 0% financing. Her's the link to a price:
http://www.dchtoyotacity.com/new-inventory/vehicle-details.htm?vehicleId=d0db38d- 14046381e0043fb683a3df199&useHistory=true
Another example of an agressively priced Toyota Dealer is wwwDarCars.com. They emailed me some good prices too.
I was able to get 3 dealers to agree to $7800 off MSRP including my taking 0% financing. Many dealers would not go nearly this low and would tell me how it's below cost. I had an excellent buying experience and there were no hidden fees.
However, I do like the vehicle. It rides very nice and handles well for such a large vehicle. And even thought I got a great deal, I still have to get past the MPG on this beast.
So glad I traded in my 4runner before the thing became a useless piece of scrap metal.
The difference in prices you are seeing in AR, LA, MS, OK, and TX is due to they only have $3000.00 cash back instead of $5000.00 cash back.
Southeast Toyota is a private distributor and has its own programs and incentives which differ from the rest of the nation. Simply put, if anyone is going to buy a Sequoia, SET is doing what they can to sell them here.
Awaiting delivery of a silver sky SR5, leather,jbl (new england region bundle of options) with MSRP of 46,500. Price was 40,900 (included destination) -1,500 cash back which began 7/1, for total of 39,400. Also took 0% APR x 60months. I'll be installing an aftermarket dvd player - either a panasonic or alpine overhead unit.
The dealer I purchased from has actually moved a few sequoias a month, and really only has a surplus of platinum's, otherwise there allocations seem to be on track with what they are selling now. One dealer actually had about 45(!) all neatly parked off site at their storage lot, which i visited to check out all the colors in one place. It looked like the Sequoia aisle at Costco.
This is shameless begging here - I am in the market to buy a Sequoia. If someone has one of these $3,000 additional incentives and is not going to use it I could certainly make use of it..... Please let me know..
Other local dealers in the Orange County area were only offering between $9k - $10k off. $5500 factory rebate + varying dealer discounts.
Purchased 5.7L SR5 for $25,763 (MSRP of $37,763). Options included sonar, running boards, 6 disc changer, spoiler, homelink, and floormats.
Per Edmunds' incentive page, there's some restriction on this rebate: "$5500 Customer cash may not be combined with 0.0% APR and vehicle must be financed through the manufacturer's captive finance company."
Just wondering if you did financing through Toyota's captive finance company? If so what rate did you get?
Thanks!
The choices were:
0% + $1500 rebate
5.8% + $5500 rebate
Since we got the lower end SR5, we did not need to finance and took the $5500. For a fully loaded Platinum, the 0% can be worth quite a bit if you take it over 5 years.
MSRP $53,046
Selling Price: 43500
Plus rebates of $8,000
Plus trade-in of $5,000

>>I've talked with a few dealers, and I can't seem to get a quote much below MSRP. >>Anyone get the type of deals folks are talking about in this forum? Thanks!
Now would be a good time to go back and laugh.
Can you tell which dealer is that ? Looks pretty good deal !!
I drove a Plat 2X2 yesterday and was told the same thing - that Toyota stopped production therefore no special orders etc... were being taken. The Plat 2X2 had MSRP of 55 and they had sale sticker at 49. I'm trying to determine at this point what my best price can be on a 4X4 version - so MSRP in the 58 to 59 region. Lots of inventory in our area and from what I can tell they are not selling very many.
Due to the current environment (Economy, Gas, 08 models at end of 08 etc....) shall we call it the perfect storm for buying a car that not many people want -- What COULD be the lowest price on a 58-59K MSRP Model?
