Please respond! Thanks! :">
The dealer agreed to touch up a few paint scratches, that were minor, but i was being picky, threw in the trailer hitch for the tow pkg, full tank o' gas, wash and detail.
$27500 sales price
5% sales tax =$1375
no doc fee
$10.00 tag and title, that's it
OTD $ 28,885
I just want to know if any of you guys think that was a good deal, please let me know, thanks!
Neg. price: $36,058 + $2,163 (6% NJ sales tax) + $314 ( 4-year registration) + $7.50 (tire tax) + $149 (proverbial doc fee).
The neg. price includes a $1250 toyota rebate ($1000 for 4Runner, $250 for V8). The doc fee did not bother me since all negotiations were done via email and telephone, and I think I got a great deal.
OTD: $38,691
MSRP= $41,202
Dealer Invoice= $37,381
Paid= $36,800 + TTL

Nice new vehicle. Runs and rides great! Can't wait for it to get a little older so I can put it in the mud and see how it does!
I used the advertised pricing in carmax.com as a baseline. I got onto the websites of the dealerships near me to see inventory. Some have very good info, some have "call for details and a quote". I then requested a quote through their website, and was very detailed about what I wanted (color, options). Some will call, some will email. In either case, I explained that the only visit to the delaership I wanted to make was to pick up the car. I wanted ALL the costs up front, and a verbal would be OK. One dealership told me $800 over invoice, 2 sent me a total cost which was a few $100 above invoice, and one called me and offered the car at invoice (less any rebates), if I did the deal by the end of the month. I probably saved $2000 between the high quote ($800 above invoice) and the lowest quote, and no visit to any dealership. BTW: Prestige Toyota (Ramsey, NJ) has an excellent website (inventory has detailed options, MSRP and invoice price)...they were the ones I eventually got the vehicle from. 2 things that I had going for me: no trade-in (thats adds another element to the negotiations) and timing (last few days of the month). Hope this helps.

I feel that I got a pretty good deal.
To me, that 3rd row seat was about useless.
So far, it's been a very nice vehicle. Rides nice (for an SUV), handles well....seems well put together. Plus, I'm getting about 20 MPG in all city driving with the A/C blasting away.
I realize this is a non-timely posting, but i'm having trouble finding many good anecdotal towing references for the 4runner matching my situation.
I'm looking at a 2005 4runner V8 for towing a Trail-Lite Trail-Cruiser C21RBH. dry-weight's 3,000 lbs, so probably 4,000 lbs on the road. It's 23' long and 8' wide (nice wind-resistant front profile :-( ) The size of the trailer vs. the 4runner's short wheelbase and narrow track concern me somewhat.
I'm curious which model you have and what towing equipment you're using. If anyone else has feedback on this, i'd appreciate it. Anyone make a deal contingent upon a test-drive with trailer attached to the sale vehicle? (i'd think dealers would shy away on that for liability reasons)
thanks,

In your neck of the woods, I would imagine the 4WD would be the one that would do better on resale, however.
Don't know for certain, but Toyota doesn't usually give rebates for just one weekend. It's usually a monthly or quarterly offering.
Am I getting taken?
Just picked up a fully fully loaded 2005 , V8, Limited 4runner with navigation. Only option I did not get was 3rd row seat and 4x4. Paid $34.4K + tax (includes $1500 cash back)
I shopped this car for a while and think i got a very good price. Turns out it was $300 below dealer invoice before $1500 incentive. After sending out emails to various local dealers, I found the best price through CarsDirect.com. I actually found the best price at my closest dealer, but of course they did not have the color i wanted in stock. CarsDirect matched that price and located my car in the color i wanted. I figure if im spending that much on a car, Im going to get the color i want. No compromises at $34k right? Interestingly, some of the other dealers couldnt even match the non-reduced Carsdirect price available to everyone just by going on their website.
While it may seem like i work for CarsDirect, i dont. It was just a very pleasant purchase experience and thought i would share the insight. This is the first time i shopped for a car online. Once I told my contact at carsdirect my exact specs, he located the car within a few hours and i picked it up the following day. It was speced as desired and there were no surprises. the entire process at the dealership where the car was at took 30 minutes. no joke!!!
I bought my car over 4th of July weekend. A few days later the incentive on the V8s (in California) jumped from $1500 to $2000. I guess this is the game you have to play - it could have very well gone back to $500 which is what the rebate was the month before.
Couple of suggestions -
1) shop the price on the internet.
2) get the very best price and then compare it against cars direct.
3) CarsDirect will price match - dont settle for a color you dont want to save a few bucks. Also, the delivered car had an aftermarket exhaust tip that I did not spec. I told him i was not interested in it, so they threw it in free.
Hope this helps.....
Side airbags, sport suspension, Navigation, moonroof, and spoiler =37k after rebate.
Inside, the 4Runner features an updated meter cluster appearance, and mini-port in the center console for connectivity to most portable music players. Power adjustable fabric seats are standard on Sport Edition and SR5 V8 models, and optional on the SR5 V6 grade. The Limited grade now receives standard memory seats and black wood graphic interior trim.
With all of its added standard equipment and refreshed styling, 4Runner retains its excellent value. The 4Runner 4x2 will carry a base MSRP ranging from $27,635 for the SR5 V6 with a five-speed automatic to $36,110 for the Limited grade V8 with a five-speed automatic. The base MSRP for the 4Runner 4x4 ranges from $29,910 for the SR5 V6 with a five-speed automatic to $38,385 for the Limited grade V8 with a five-speed automatic. Total 4Runner average MSRP increase is $150 or 0.5 percent.
Would have been lower if I bought yesterday, but they said this price was good for a month (assuming $500 rebate). Anyone think this is a good deal or should I hold out for a lower price or the above mentioned 2006?
Thanks
Very helpful information - can you please post the link to the webpage where you got this info? Also do you know when the 06 models will hit the dealer showrooms?
http://pressroom.toyota.com/photo_library/display_release.html?id=20050729a
The '06s are scheduled to arrive late August, early September.
How does that sound to you guys?
Can't help to notice the price people paid for their HIGHLANDER..(see highlander discussion..)
I own an '05 4Runner and the Highlander is not even a contender!
this is a great discussion forum BTW, everybody seemed to be getting a good deal.
The HL discussion is almost unreal..are the jacking up their price or what?
Any thoughts?
