Read through the discussion here at Edmunds regarding this problem at Toyota Tacoma 2004 and Earlier Frame Problem

Any thoughts? I'm just not convinced the invoice number, I'm sure the dealer is holding back on Toyota incentives.
Bottom line, if you want the truck and they want to sell you the truck, you will WIN. You may learn that you could had done better, and that they made money off of you...but they supposed to anyway.
Thats exactly what I did about a year ago. I started by finding Taco's for sale on the internet by doing a 100 mile radius search and emailed the internet sales office asking for the best price. The 09's were just coming out and were selling pretty good or they were not stocking a lot of them on there lots so I had limited luck on those. I found a brand new left over 08 Double cab TRD about 100 miles away and started emailing back and fourth with him for weeks until he finally accepted my offer of $5000.00 under sticker. Now that was before C4C and all the Obama help so at the time they were really slow. As it turns out it was even a better deal because Toyota has had some really bad issues to deal with on the 09s (transmission etc) I always talk out the door price because you will be surpprised at how low all there fees will get when you talk OTD plus they can not add any fees that the finance guy says "everyone knows about" once you go to pick up the truck and pay for it.
I did mine totally by the internet with nearby dealerships after an initial visit to the closest dealership to me (all initial contacts were via the dealership's web site). The closest gave me their best price and let me walk out because I told them I wanted to try to get down to or at least much closer to the Edmunds.com TMV price. (They were about $500 above the TMV price. Some things never change as I was a salesman there in 1997 and even then, they let people walk out who wanted to offer less than the dealership wanted to make, but still could have sold one for.)
After that, it was just a matter of finding a dealership within 75 miles (more if you think it's worth it...I probably would have tried a larger radius if I wasn't successful) willing to sell for the Edmunds TMV. I started asking three other dealerships for their best offer with the Edmunds TMV price stated I was looking for. The first offer I had back gave their best offer with the statement they would beat any better offer by $500 if I could somehow possibly even get a better one because theirs was so good. Then I got a better one via E-mail matching the Edmunds TMV price from a second dealership (the third was way too slow in responding). The one with the first offer did beat it as promised after I forwarded the quote I had received. I then let the dealership who had given the TMV offer the bad news that I'd gotten a better offer, and they said they'd beat whatever offer I had by another $300. I stopped playing the game at that point as I was able to purchase at $800 under the Edmunds TMV. And that didn't even include adding in the current at that time $1500 rebate from Toyota and the $4500 Cash for Clunkers clunker I was able to coax smoking down the road one last time, thankfully. I considered all that a once in a lifetime deal.
Hopefully you can find a "hungry" dealership or two willing to play a game like that, and they won't all be like the first one I visited where they just have to make a certain amount of profit or they won't sell the vehicle. Some sales people and managers have egos so big they always want to win and won't allow themselves to be beaten, so take advantage of it if you can. When I was signing the paperwork on my deal, the internet salesperson asked me, "I'll bet the other one didn't like hearing they'd been beaten by a woman?" I had to tell her I hadn't told them that, but I'm sure she was proud of that fact.
Good luck!!!

I live in Arizona and this seems like the best deal?
2010 Black Double Cab 4wd TRD Sport (PQ) package with the JBL Bluetooth & Satelite radio controls.
Addtional accessories are: Front Skid plate, normal door dills & floor mats, Towing pkg which comes standard with the selection of the PQ package. Added at the dealership Tinted windows & door cups? (don't understand what that is)
Anyways OTD including all fees would be $32250.50
MSRP $31989
Factory Invoice $29692.30
Thanks!
Where are you in the usa btw?
The MSRP is $31989 & I guess the dealer invoice was $29692. You know on the invoice it shows factory/dealer pricing.
Yes I figured the price was a little high but for some reason dealers in AZ, NV & CO think they are gold. The Dealership I was going to buy from was Earnhardt Toyota in Mesa AZ. Needless to say I didn't buy anything yet. It would be nice to see your invoice, where in the US did you buy it from?

The only thing is they talked us into a 8 year 120000
mile warranty for 2000 .Gave me 3.25 % interest
4100 down which made the payment 450-for 72 months
So tell me if thats a deal or did we get ripped.
Without warranty it was 3.9% interest @430 a month 72 months
4000 down
we couldnt get lower than 27900. Now I feel ripped .
was it the trd sport with rear camera ?
thanks
You'll probably put $20,000-$40,000 of gas and insurance into the truck the next 5 years anyway. Sooooooo....
--jjf
whats the payments ? came with all that for 26496?
we couldnt get lower than 27900. Now I feel ripped .
was it the trd sport with rear camera ?
thanks
I better not pay 20-40000 in gas and insurance.
That would suck!
Read the forums, and my goal was to get about $4k off MSRP to be happy. I wanted:
2010 Tacoma, 4x4, double cab, SR5 package, Tow, running boards, 16 wheels, *leather*
MSRP $30300 (or something very similar) + $1800 leather dealer added = $32,100
I had a trade of a 05 Sonata. Blue book said $7400 trade value, black book said $5700 trade value. I personally feel the trade value was $6000 (blue book was too high) after my research of what they were doing locally.
So basically I wanted $32k - $4k off MSRP - $6000 = $22k + 10% tax/title/fees = $24,000 OTD.
Went to the dealer, told him what I wanted and why. They gave me 82 reasons why I was unreasonable.
The moral of this story is this: THE MOST POWER YOU HAVE IS TO WALK AWAY.
The first time I went to the dealer, my intention was to GO AND WALK AWAY and show them I was serious. Didn't call them back.
24 hours later, I received a call offering $26,800. Said no.
48 hours later I received a call offering $25,700. Said no.
Now we were talking. 72 hours later I received a call offering $24,000 OTD. I asked - with the leather? No, they "forgot" about that. They said $24,900.
I said $24,200 and they went for it.
I closed down the dealership that night and as the manager was leaving I asked how I did since the deal was done. He said he never would have done the deal but another guy set it up. He "claimed" they lost $1k or so on my sale.
Whether what he told me is the truth is almost irrelevant as I feel I got a good deal and am happy with it. I believe what the manager told me and had a positive experience with them, hopefully there is some kickback somewhere that they get, but I'm not too concerned as they wouldn't have agreed to the deal if it didn't benefit them as a whole.
I was definitely happy. Purchased at Arlington Toyota in Jacksonville, FL. Definitely a positive experience. Not supposed to post salesman names on here, but PM me for the name of the salesman, he was worth dealing with again.
2010 Tacoma, Double Cab, 4x4 w/ TRD Sport Extra Value Pkg - Black Sand Pearl
Tow Pkg
CD Changer
Floor Mats/Sill protectors
Daytime Run Lights
Running Boards
Front Skid Plate
(No JBL, no Bluetooth)
MSRP on sticker was ~$31,686. Got them down to $28,700 - then also got the $750 cash back incentive with 4.9% for 48 months - so final price paid was $27,950 (including all fees and temporary tags). Put about $10,500 down and will have payments of ~$402/mo for 48 months.
From info off Edmunds I calculated invoice + destination charge of ~$28,750 - so my out the door price was about $800 under invoice. Was going to wait to buy until Jan/Feb 2011 - but when I started talking to the guy and realized what I could get the truck for now - I pulled the trigger - figured I'd pay at least $1000-$1200 more for a 2011 between Oct'10-Feb'11. Dealership was really easy to work with too - no pressure, not much haggling - I was only there about 90 minutes and spent most of that time test driving a truck and looking at/sitting in others on the lot. Also - they had to go get the thing for me - wanted black or magnetic gray - they didn't have one - so got one from Topeka, KS - didn't charge me a dime to go get it either. Made the deal on Saturday afternoon - picked up the truck on Tuesday night. I love the thing - glad they found me a black one instead of the dark gray - the black truck with the hood scoop and 17" wheels looks killer. I only put about 8000-9000 miles per year on my primary vehicle - so I plan to drive this thing FOREVER.
Just wanted to thank you. Used your advice and purchased a very similar truck from Arlington Toyota based off your post. Drove 1 hour to make the deal but it was worth it. Nice deal, easy to deal with. Didn't have to walk away but bargained hard and got a similar deal on a Tacoma from them. Very happy!
Thanks and I'm now the proud owner of a Tacoma!
Also,
I've been debating between the 4X4 and the 4X2 (which I could get in 2010 for less) but I'm pretty sure the 4X4 is the way to go. Any comments on 4X4 vs. 4X2 would be appreciated too!
