(tundra grade 5.7 short bed) but in the long haul, it is far better than ford or chevy.
At 60k those ford and chevys start to turn into junk. That tundra will hold up.
Yes, their is bed bounce, more than the others i'm told. Seems to be issues with tail gates, some 5.7's sound like diesel's (mine does, hate that) but all in all I would be hard pressed to lay down 25-30k on a ford, chevy or dodge. I have also read that a new, better set of tires greatly improves the bed bounce issues. Since toyota factory tires typically suck, their may be some truth to it. The deals on gas guzzling trucks are going to get better before they get worse. Shop around, drive the others, you'll see the difference.
I didn't give up the Tundra yet. I will wait for the Tundra 2009 model or 2010 to see whether Toyota address the problems with bouncing and frame weaknesses or not. However, I think the 2009 F-150 will beat the 2009 Tundra unless Toyota make a dramatic face lift.
I am not really concerned about too much power as long as I have over 320 horses under the hood. I am concerned about longevity, performance, features, durability, style, etc.
08 Tundra, SR5, TRD, double cab - $25624 with $5500 in rebates
08 Tundra, SR5, TRD, crew max - $27600 with $5500 in rebates
Good deals?
If the difference between msrp and the price you got is only 5500.00 I would say not such a great deal....
Crew max MSRP - $36,650 - offer is $27,600
Does it look good?
$28,800 after dealer discount
$3000 toyota rebate
$1500 bonus cash
$1500 business registration discount
$2000 loyalty incentive as former Tacoma owner with frame rust trade-in
Net - $20,800 plus taxes/license
Tow package
Chrome bumbers
Bedliner
Carpets, etc
MSRP 31k
Dealer offered: 19,260 + Admin Fees ($300)
Includes: Commercial cash, rebates in lieu of 0.0 financing
Thanks,

This was in Maine. Brand new 2008 4.7 L Double Cab 4x4 with
Cold Weather package
Towing Package
Bedliner
Heated outside mirrors
Back sliding window
MSRP: $30, 470
2000 Custom standard Rebate
3000 Rebate in lieu of 0% financing (I got 4.45% though for 60 Months from Toyota Credit)
2000 Commerical Cash Rebate (Need to own a Business - self proprietor is fine!)
Dealer offered less than invoice price (They gave me their holdback of 700+)
Total price: $19,260 + tax, title, and admin fee (Admin fee = $295)
Note that I did check several dealers (Not all would entertain a quote below 20K) and negotiated the deal on the last day of the month of july
What my father will be aiming for is 8k off. If he had his own business he would be able to go for 10k off MSRP.
Down here in TX they have 5k Toyota rebate so he should be able to get them to kick in another 2k to 3k off.
He is looking for a 5.7 SR5 Double Cab 4x4 standard bed.
Thanks!

I'm officially a "farmer."
Thanks again & happy farming!
For insurance, I just had my personal policy updated to say "My Name d.b.a. My Farm Name." They said that as long as my business use was < 20%, then no impact to rate, but you should definitely check on that with your agency.
The funny thing is that since getting my Tundra, we have purchased some chickens - so does that now make us real farmers? :-)
I am looking for a SR5 Double Cab 4x4 Regular Bed. Not much added but I want
tow mirrors and tow package (part of SR5 package?). There is $4,000 cash plus
the business rebate which I don't see listed on the Toyota site. Is it $1500 or $2000 on top of the other rebates?
Should this truck cost $24K or can I get it for less, in reality.
(I bought a 2000 Tundra in 1999 and I paid invoice, no incentives and that was
$29K plus a little, so I can't resist getting a much better truck for a bunch less than
9 years ago). I found I need more towing than the older model.
Thanks for pricing help.
He looked at a 08 truck with the same options and the sticker was 36k minus the 5k rebate and minus an extra 3k off his price would have been 28k.
He feels good that with the 7 yr 100k warranty that this certified truck was a better value at 24,500. plus TT&L.
Thought I would share. Thanks for the great info!

Plus tow mirrors, alarm, bed tie downs and backseat storage box?
The Edmunds TMV less current rebates is 24,500.
I found it at Vandergriff Toyota in Arlington, Texas. The 2007 DBL cab, 4x2, 5.7eng.
Limited with Nav, camera and all the goodies was $26K out to door (except Cal.tax). Truck has 65 miles and I got the 7yr/100K warrenty included. Looking at the prices listed all over the country, just let me say don't hesitate to negotiate!
Before being shipped, I had them install the wood dash kit and they gave a very fair price below msrp. Shop around, throw out your best price and let the dealer earn your business.
offered so much over or under invoice, depending on how hot the car was at the time.
I bought two VW just by calling around and asking for invoice. It keeps things simple.
Then once you get that settled, you can pick and choose from Trucks available.
So far on my Tundra, I have gotten starting offer of Invoice plus $275 from my
usual dealer. That was via an email.
So using invoice as a point. What are people getting now. I will be using
the full $5500 in rebates available after that is settled.
I was hoping for $500 under invoice. I would accept that deal.
(I will be getting a SR5 4x4 Dbl Cab regular bed).
and I just agree to pay a price relative to invoice, then I can pick and choose
from what is available. You pay dealer invoice for the car and all options plus or minus your premium or discount. Otherwise you have to pick one particular car.
For example I called a few dealers, told them I would buy a Tundra for Invoice -$500 and wait for them to decide if they want to sell for that. Then I see if they have what I want in stock or available.
different in extra equipment. The apple is the discount given that each will vary. I want a truck as close to what I want at fixed discount.
If one has a better stereo than I want, at least I am only paying invoice for it.
The more numbers the dealer gets to play with, the more confusing it is for the buyer.
I am totally happy negotiating a fixed price relative to invoice.
We are looking at the same truck, orange county, ny. Can you lmk the dealer you went with? You got a great deal IMO. Just starting my research, late in the game, it seems, for August. Are all these rebates still applicable? Thanks!!
However, you cannot find the car you build online. I had to take a few more options
like the Back Up Camera, which I am totally glad I got.
I ended up spending about $2,000 more than I went in to spend, but still
about $4,000 less than my 2000 Tundra was when I bought it in 1999.
To get the $1500 Business Owner rebate, you must register in business name and get business financing from Toyota, which is 1% higher. However, I usually pay my cars off in 3 months or so, once I sell my older car and move some money around to cover.
I just bought a Tundra last night with the business rebate. I have a d.b.a as well. So does your actual vehicle title say the d.b.a name with your name as the co-owner? I just want to get clear on what exactly the insurance card has to say..... Thanks for your help!
As for the business discount, yes, it will show your DBA on the title, registration and the insurance card must match your DBA name precisely. But for a sole proprietorship, there is no extra paperwork or hassle. If you do this, you want to tell your insurance this is something like a 10% part time business. Our insurer had no issues with this - they said 20% was their limit. (I told them exactly what I was doing in terms of scoring an extra discount - they enjoyed the story...) And call it something that has you driving only around your own house - like a farm. I'm not surprised Allstate would try to make some more money off it - they are overpriced to start with IMHO :-)
Finally, check Mass. prices. Had we gone there, we may have saved another $1K based on what I saw online, but not sure they will sell to NY resident and provide the Mass. rebates. Good luck and let us know how you make out!
Anyway, I am looking to buy a Tundra this week. 4X4 TRD Double Cab. It also has Running lights, brushed steel stepboard, remote start, alloy wheel locks and all weather mats. I don't want the 0% financing and I know that after the Labor Day holiday they took away $1K of the $5K rebate. The dealer told me he would sell at $500 over invoice plus the $4K rebate. I am not sure if that is a good deal. I don't feel I can claim the business rebate and quite frankly don't want the hassle (yes I know it is $1,500K but I just got audited by the IRS this year and am squeamish).
Curious as to what you all are seeing. Thanks!
ALSO... do not pay more than Invoice minus $500. I had more than
one dealer taking that offer by phone so I am sure it could have gone lower, but
I was reaching the labor day deadline.
Ask your insurer about the business registration. You will be registering car in
business name. If you use your own name, no big deal. I have Allstate and they just
wanted to make sure I was not going to be having employees drive, which I don't.
We are a one person farm business.
"You are looking at a black Crewcab 4x4 Limited with navigation with a MSRP of over $47,000 for $38,485 plus taxes, tags and $100 processing fee. If you qualify you can get another $1500 off of the $38. Give me a call to discuss this truck."
What u guy think?? Oh, I'm in northern Va. Thanks....
rebates. Figure in your rebates after you agree to a price relative to invoice.
That way, if the truck you find from them or through a locate has different
equipment, you price is still set. You don't get a bait and switch etc.
I have bought 4 Toyota's this way, on the phone and it is the easiest way.
There are some that got better deals than me, but I got my for invoice minus $500
and then received 5500.00 in rebates (1,000 in rebate ended Sept 2).
It sounds like your price quote is around invoice, but use the Edmonds pricing.
Tried 4 other dealership in the bay area but non would touch this deal.
What do you guys think?

Case in point: I'd like to buy 5 two wheel drive standard cab Tundras with the 5.7 engine and 8' box for my company. No can do. The distributor for New England doesn't order them like this, preferring to push 4X4.. Sorry guys. I'd like my spec, not yours. I figure that a Tundra if specced like that would have all the capability and durability of a 3/4 ton pickup (the payload is over 2000 pounds). As a fleet buyer we don't want 4X4. This is nuts.
Purchased 08 Tundra SR5 MSRP was $31,602. Riverside, CA Toyota took $11,000 off of the MSRP and gave me 4.55% financing for 60 months. There were a few dealers in S. CA that were advertising this $11,000 reduction. Riverside was not one of them, but they did match the price. Quality Toyota 10 miles down the road in Corona laughed at me a stated " Its all a game. They won't sell it for that price". Obviously, they were wrong.
!!
Thanks!
Right now I'm finding $500 below invoice plus the rebate on anything at any of the dealerships. I've got one at 1,000 below invoice - Las Vegas. I'll see if the local guys will match it. Vegas's region has less rebate so the net is about the same either way right now. But if I can work another 500 out of them before I buy, I will!
At this point I'm tempted to just sit out and wait until the incentives go up. ( I get a good deal on a rental.... :shades: )
As I remember November was about peak last year...should be this year. Sales down and the '09's out.
You might get 1000 off invoice and the rebate. I'd tell'm you'll buy right now for 1000 under and the cash back. If they say "no", leave your phone number and tell'm you're going to another dealer...and another... and see who wants to sell a truck.
I bet you don't make it off the lot.
Thanks for the info

Initial negotiations ended up with $1000 below invoice, and a $2000 incentive == 27693 + fees + taxes + title == 30902.30
The "buy it today" negotiations ended up better, but I am a little confused (go figure) -- it is either $1500 under invoice, or $1500 less than the $27693. I didn't get the "but it today" agreement on paper, but recall the monthly payment quote for the 0% deal under $500/month, which leads me to me to conclude that it I was offered $2500 under invoice, in addition the to the $2k incentive (no negotiations on the holdback and reserve).
I've only contacted one dealer so far (which is conveniently a mile away from home).
Thx.
