all this was at star toyota in league city, tx. dealership was great and very easy to work with. can't say the same for community toyota in baytown. drove all the way to baytown to find out they never had what they claimed they had in stock over the phone.
I can't speak for anyone else, but with unemployment set to go over 10% anytime now; it is no wonder that consumers are not spending. If you are laid off or think you may become laid off I don't think that unnecessary purchases are a wise decision.
In the short inventory is low and dealers are not as willing to give a great deal at this point. So in the end there are people on the sidelines waiting.
Please post if you recently purchased a new Tundra and let us know what type of deal you received!!!!
I know what you mean about the economy. Times are not good for a lot of people. Part of the reason I thought i'd be able to get a good deal. I saw a truck at a dealership, DC SR5 with grill guard, running boards, spray on liner, upgraded tires and rims, and tool box. for around 32,500 thats been sitting on there lot for a several months.These are all things I wanted to get on the truck anyway and it'd save me the time and trouble with them on. But the downside is its a 2wd and I was wanting to get a 4wd. Any thoughts?
Also do not compromise on the type of truck you want. If you want 4wd then get it; you will kick yourself in the a** if you don't.
Can't hurt to wait till January or so; unless you need a new vehicle right now. And let's wait and see how the price of oil fluctuates; the higher the price the oil the lower the demand for trucks and SUV's.
Do people still post on these forums, lol. Doesn't seem like it, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong threads.
Your truck doesn't sound like a limited, but do you have lots of upgrades? That tends to inflate the price quite a bit..

I have a new Sequoia on order which was $ 500 cheaper than cars direct .com The vehicle cost with options is $ 700 over dealer invoice or $ 3,200 off sticker. The price on this vehicle has gone down to about $166 above dealer invoice since I ordered.
I am in the market for a tundra right now. they are offering $3000 incentive on them in my area (texas). that puts the model i want around 31k or so. And according to the websites i've checked out i should be able to get another couple of thousand off of it.
i will post on here how it goes/went when the time comes!
I had two dealers competing for my business both offering the same price Carsdirect had only one dealer in the same area which was 500 higher in price.
Trade 20000 - 07 Tacoma Crew Sr5, Prerunner, tow

Carman - Please advise.
Edmunds is a GREAT tool, I used it last year to search for exactly the Tundra I was looking for and with the best incentives...had to take a 6 hour trip to Wisconsin to pick it up, but saved thousands of dollars. And, the color I wanted wasn't even available in my surrounding sales regions, either IA or IL. Best of luck. Regards, BGood
Thanks,
That sounds like a pretty good deal, depending on the features/upgrades on the truck.
It sounds like people are getting at least 10-15% off of msrp. If you can get more, great!
Also check edmunds.com to see what people are paying.
I got one late last year and love it. I have a DC 4x4 5.7L FFV.
If you got any other questions just ask!
By the way, check out gulfcoasttundras.com, for those in the area (i'm from houston). If you sign up, I'm GreatScott (put it in the referral part).
Based on what you said, 26k does not sound like a good deal. the MSRP is somewhere between 33.5K-35K. 15% off brings it to 28K-29.5K, with 4k rebates give us around 24-25.5K. thanks for the info. I'll probably start from 24K .
Mine was a bit over 36k and i ended up paying about 30k. Real good deal but not the best i've ever heard of. If you offer 25k for that truck you'll prob get laughed at lol.
What kind of options you getting?
Anyway I would like to know what people are paying for

This one has a selling price of $28,900.
Any thoughts on the F150 XLT
Mike T.
As far as the F150 goes, I have never owned one personally. I am a member of a couple of tundra owners and I can pass along some of the things I have heard. Please, take this with a grain of salt.
Most people I have heard talk about the F150 say that its very under-powered, especially compared to 5.7L V8. The interiors appear to be very nice and well made but comparable models tend to be more expensive.
Best thing would be to go to a dealership and find out for yourself!
(you could also check consumer report, motor trend, etc.)
Let us know how it goes!
is a great resource for tundra owners for all kinds of mods and general help. Go sign up and start posting and you can find out all kinds of stuff. There are others as well, I'd really recommend it. Its nice to talk to other owners that have had their trucks for years already.
Good Luck
p.s. if you do sign up i'm GreatScott! Look me up!
Dont' forget that craigslist is a very good market place for used cheap auto parts. good luck and enjoy your new toy.
Thanks.
Automotive News, which is an Industry/dealer/vendor publication lists all customer incentives AND factory to dealer incentives each week. According to this publication, Toyota is giving dealers up to $3,000 for each Tundra sold. This makes sense, as some of the folks on this board have been getting deals of $5,000 plus off on these vehicle.
That is why your NJ dealer is giving you a "below invoice deal', because they really have more money than the difference between MSRP and what they pay for the car. Let me know how it works out.
Take these dealers to the cleaners! lol, and if not go to another dealership.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
