2006 4Runner 4WD Sport Edition, Galactic Gray Mica
Option pkg #2 (includes the tow package).
I also got dealer to add 115V AC power outlet which I think is a great option to have.
Edmunds TMV for vehicle w/o outlet = $31,673.
I drove it out at $31,236 (excluding state tax & title. Dealer "doc fee" was nominal).
I opted for the 2.9% financing over an additional $1,500 dealer incentive, as that is really cheap money if you are like most people and need to finance a purchase.
In my mind, this was a fair deal, especially since I did not have to sit there and do the salesman to the manager good cop/ bad cop routine. I am very busy and don't have time for that, the dealer recognized that right away, and quoted me an acceptable price range out of the gate. The whole transaction took less than 1 hour, mostly cut the deal over the phone, including the paperwork with the F&I guy.
By doing my research on Edmunds and other sites, and reading the comments in here BEFORE I purchased, I beleive I paid a fair price as a retail customer. Read the sites first everyone, don't have buyers remorse, not worth it on the wallet or the head!

Well, enough said, I thought of just writing everything my 2006 4Runner has so you have an idea as to whether your offer is a great deal compared to mine.
Personally, I like your offer. Honestly, out of the 4 generations of 4Runner todate, this is the first one I'm comitted of owning, after 60 months of course Today, as I respond or rather give my input to your question, I've only put 954 miles and I've made two payments already. Yeah, I know, well I'm saving it for the Father's Day Weekend trip To Las Vegas then another trip to the Bay Area in San Francisco next month. That will be a good break in for this SUV and to find out what it can really do as advertised. So far, with all the fellow 4Runners owners out there, I'm convinced with their inputs. Mostly great and some negatives. But I find that normal to all owners of Toyotas or American SUVs. About the most positive thing that convinced me to buy this SUV, I never owned one. Like I said, this is my first one and I look forward to owning it by 2011. My first owned Toyota, is a 1983 Supra MKII series. I still own it, drive it, having fun with it and still loving it. Final advise for you jamesbass1 - BUY IT if you really liked it! Hope to hear from you soon and best of luck!
i see some people are saying they got a quote with it, but when i go to the toyota website, and try to build my own. I never get an option for leatehr interior.
Also, what prices should I be looking for this SUV in orange county, california? thanks, patrick
I'm in the market for an SUV so I've been researching small to mid-size SUV. I notice something about the RAV4 and 4Runner that I hope to get some thoughts from this forum. If this has been discussed before, please point me to those discussions.
Given that the RAV4 has a stronger V6 (268hp) than the 4Runner's (240hp?), is the 4Runner due for a model upgrade? I know that if roominess is a factor, 4Runner makes more sense but if not, seems like the RAV4 gives you more bang for the bucks. Just my observation.
If your towing a heavy trailer and have a weight distributing hitch w/sway control that's all you need.
Your comparing apples to oranges. The 4Runner is a "ladder frame" type of vehicle meant for towing and offroad. Isn't the RAV4 unibody and front wheel drive with little towing capacity?
Basically, I've decided to not opt for any options, so basically it will come with the standard equipment or what have you.
Edmund's tmv invoice with no options is $25,825. So this will be about $930 dollars less than invoice. Is this a good deal or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
Out the door after tax, license, factory rebate all in: $28,500.
Thanks!
I got quotes anywhere from $27,000 to $28,600 + taxes and fees. I requested online quotes from about 15 dealers in San Diego and LA. Tustin Toyota in LA emailed me a quote for $27k and Mossy matched it. Hope this helps.

I have a walk out the door price of 27,500 for a 2WD EX-L(comes standard with leather, sunoorf, xm, 6cd, heated seats, 3rd row, side air bags-big bonus for me). I am lookig for a comparable 4Runner with 3rd row (i know its not as big thats ok). It looks like the limited has the options I want and need but will be thousands more then the similar price Pilot. I could go up to 30k out the door (6% tax where I live in GA)
What is a good price to pay for the 4Runner?
Thanks,
Mark
They still had to locate it, so this put me in a worse position than if they had it on the lot. Ended up talking them down to 29447 (Roughly 600 above Edmunds Invoice, 300 above "their invoice") with some accessories and maintenance thrown in. With a residual of 18296 (inflated by Toyota to move leases this month), 2700 at signing, put my monthly payments at $330 including tax on a 3yr/36k.
All in all, an okay experience. This is the first time I've ever done car negoitaiting, so my nerves weren't as steely as they will be next time and I made some rookie mistakes. Sales experience I would rate at 6/10, as they generally were not very upfront about things, kept running back to check numbers and leaving me for 5-10 mins by myself. I had better when the sales manager at Amato Cadillac sat me in front of the computer and just ran the numbers.
Am now in the process of calling them everyday for status. Thanks for all the info here!

I think all that matters is if it *feels* like you got a deal, so don't anybody tell me I got screwed!! haha
Yea, they don't want to seem anxious about making a sale, hoping everyone would come in before the 9/5 deadline. I left a voicemail with a salesman and his manager Friday AM, saying my financing is good, and I was ready to buy, before I took off for the weekend. Did not call me back till Saturday!!! Its like you have to beg them to take $35k off your hands!
2006 Toyota 4Runner with 3rd row seat, side curtain airbags, 17" alloy wheel pkg, roof rack, rear spoiler, moonroof, tow pkg and preferred accessory pkg. It has a MSRP of $34,114. I can sell it to you for $30,728 + taxes & fees
BTW, this is after 1.5k rebate.
I just did a physical scan of 2006 inventory here in Houston and it looks pretty thin. I also found out that the Toyota dealer web sites are not up to date. Many of the 06's listed on the site are no longer in stock.
3rd row seat
Leather
Roll sensor and airbags
Spoiler
Price before taxes and lic was 31663.
However i think I got totally screwed on the Extended Warranties. I ended up paying 2800 dollars for the 7 year/100,000 mile extended warranty platinum. This included 55000 miles of paid service as well.
I really don't know how much people are paying for this. Please post what you ended up paying for the Toyota Platinum extended warranty and paid maintenance. Thanks
Also I just got the vehicle today and have to go back tommorrow to finish up the trade in. IS there any recourse for me in California?
Thanks
Derek
I do remember sales using this technique in the 80's- usually asked for a check of a small amount, but have not encountered it for the last 4-5 new cars I bought.
I ended up buying a car from Classic Toyota north of Austin. This dealership seems to be more straight, and they do not need my credit card to consider an offer.
If need be I will just pick up an extended warranty from Toyota before 36K or 3 years.
Do I have to take the 4Runner in to a toyota dealer and follow the maintenance schedule to get the extended warranty down the road?
BTW thanks for the help everyone!!
Derek
From my own shopping experience and from reading this forum, I'd say you have a good offer if it is comparable to what fitzmall offers. Remember to compare your local incentive vs the incentive from where fitzmall is (usually Maryland for Toyota cars), and take that difference into consideration. Edmunds.com does seem to keep the incentives updated and accurate as far as I can tell.
No disrespect to Edmunds.com, but I always found the TMV prices from the Edmunds website to be 1-2K higher than the real world prices, when we consider a ~30K car.
