We looked for more than 3 months before finding a dealer who DIDN'T think the new DC was made out of pure gold! A total of 5 dealerships! WHAT A FIRGGIN' HEADACHE! Truth is... these five dealers gave us such little hope in the fact that we could get what we wanted that by the time we did find our eventual "selling" dealer we had (let's just say) a less than positive attitude! We actually had given up by this point.
After narrowing the 5 down to one, this dealer wouldn't come off the sicker any more than $1,000! And that... even after going on-line to build a DC with less options than on the one he had on the lot! We carried paperwork with us from a competing manufacturer whose crew-cab's sticker price was $3,000 more than the DC he had on the lot. He wouldn't even match the competitor's price! All he did was write on the "pre-deal" paperwork "but it's a Toyota!" Needless to say... we eventually walked out and just simply stopped looking.
Then by shear chance we were at our niece's graduation in early May and I stopped by a Toyota dealer there. Within a few days, my wife was on line at this dealership and found that they had a DC on the lot that she thought I would be interested in.
I called this dealer a told him of the "dead horse" we seemed to be beating and told him that I would much rather he be honest with me and just say no if he couldn't satisfy us. Especially, with consideration to gas prices and the distance to his dealership. He was so confident that he could get us the price and payment we wanted, he offered to pay for our gas to the dealership if he couldn't work everything out!! We bought our DC at less than what the last dealer wanted even after his measly $1,000 off offer! This dealer was SO accommodating that we ending up purchasing my wife a new Camry XLE as well! That right, TWO NEW VEHICLES! We drove home that evening with not one... but TWO new vehicles! The salesman asked me if was I satisfied with the truck and I said pretty much except for a few things. I wanted the 5 spoke Brawn Enkei wheels, which were not available with the TRD package. I also wanted carpet floor mats and keyless entry for my wife whenever she would drive the truck.
We got the wheels... for FREE; the floor mats... for FREE; the keyless entry... at DEALER COST; a spare keyfob... for FREE, and the dealer installed EVERYTHING... for FREE!
I guess the best advice I can offer for those still looking is... Keep looking until you find a dealer who'll work with you! It can and may very well take some time, but BELIEVE ME... IT'LL BE WELL WORTH IT!
Although I think the closer and closer we get to fall and the arrival of the 2005 models, I think their willingness to deal on 2004 models will go up.
This salesman wouldn't comment on the 2005 models and a bigger engine available on them. I took that to mean the rumors are true. I told him I'd be waiting for the 2005 model to buy.
All thoughts welcome and thanks in advance.
Thanks
It is probably too good to be true. The web site was showing a 29% increase in hp AND a 25% increase in the highway mileage estimate for the 4.0L V6 over the 3.4L.
It looks like My Buying Experience will crash and burn before we even get out of the hanger.
I was shopping for a Tacoma TRD offroad and learnt that o4' Tundras have a 0% APR on it. I'm chaning my plan to get a Tundra(TRD+SR5 access cab 2 wd) in a day or two. i think the interest i would pay on the tacoma can be diverted to tundra 0% APR
Am i making the right choice?. Also the dealer quoted(Nashville, TN) 25300 before taxes.
Any help at the earliest is much appreciated
-Thanks
SR5premium+TRD+Towpackage+skid plate etc, etc. All for Inv+200$.Total of 26200 after $1k rebate. Dealership and Salesman was excellent. Traded my Sentra to Tundra. Sentra was the worst car i ever owned
I'm also a Nissan fan, had 01 pathfinder,traded for 04 pathfinder LE. Pathy is a rock-solid vehicle no complaints
I'm looking for a Double Cab Tundra SR 5 4WD. Thanks for the help!

BTW, this is in New Orleans if anyone is interested.
The way Geico works an extended warranty is that it is included in your insurance payment (i.e. the $44 per 6 months). The problem I see with a Geico warranty is that you have to keep Geico insurance or else you lose your warranty (and Geico's not hesitant to drop you if you have too many claims). The nice thing is that you're not paying for a warranty you don't use, should you sell the car say 5 years from now.
Con's. Thank you
Looks like they're not showing the special on the V6 access cab. I'd keep checking their site and when they run a special on the truck you want print it out and take it with you.
Best of luck.

To hear that Toyota sells a pickup for $39K is extremely absurd!
My questions are what is TDA, should Holdback, TDA, and Wholesale Financial Reserve be figured in to the cost of the vehicle, is $16,833 the true cost of this vehicle to the dealer?
