    Awesome! How much was the rebate in your area?
  • closenoughclosenough Member Posts: 31
    3,000 cash back or 0% plus 1,000 down payment assistance.
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    A "net" $8200 discount is fantastic! Again, great job!
  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    Does the 48,371 number include the TDA, Holdback, Delivery and WFR? Or, does the 48,371 include the Delivery, and NOT the TDA, Holdback, and WFR? I realize that the invoice number you share includes all (4) of those fees
  • closenoughclosenough Member Posts: 31
    The 48,371 is the bottom line on the sticker, so yes all of these fees/expenses are included. Invoice is invoice, a well established figure that can be had from many references. To get a better sense of dealer cost you would remove the TDA, Holdback and WFR from the invoice yeilding a lower number than invoice.

    I have a deal on the table I may decide to close on later today. It is for $1,000 off invoice (well, until the dealer today said there was a show-room charge all vehicles take on at this ownder's dealership for $187.....which I did not fight too much today, but I will probably tell them to either remove this, or at least toss in the $80 fee for dealer pinstriping for free and then I will go forward). Not a bad deal (unless someone here tells me otherwise) because I am getting a truck from "match-trade" to get the "core" group of options I want on the color combo I want, and then build it up almost to custom at the port so it only has what I want and not any other bloatware from the port. Also, by getting as many accessories from the port as possible it is much less than having the dealership accessory guys get involved and their mark-up and labor rates, etc. Kind of like having a truck built to order, but it only takes about 7 days to get it. The only thing I don't like about this region (TX) is that you can't get a 4x4 LTD Crewmax WITH Moonroof but NOT with the DVD Nav (since I wanted to go aftermarket.....but decided it would be uneconomical if the DVD Nav was already in so I am stuck with the integrated Toyota version).

    For Crewmax, 4x4, Limited

    Base (42,070) 36,811
    20" Alloy Wheels (920) 736
    DVD Nav (1,650) 1,368
    Daytime RL (40) 32
    Sunroof (810) 648
    50 state Emiss (0) 0

    Add Ons at the Port
    Predator Running Bds (599) 449
    Front Win Tint (179) 99
    Carpet Mat Set (178) 106
    Molded Dash Applique Wood Trim (350) 215
    Bed Extender (320) 230
    Vehicle Shield Pkg with Sound Shield (349) 99

    Other Misc
    Deliv/Proc/Handling (765) 765
    Holdback (841) 841
    Interest (420) 420
    TDA (995) 995
    Dealer Floor Fee (0) 187

    Total MSRP with Holdback, Interest, and TDA included is (50,486)

    Cost (sum of numbers not on parentheses) is 44,117 (I am actually missing a 116 item on invoice somewhere, and therefore on the MSRP as well, since the sum of these numbers on this list is 44,001)

    So compare the 44,001 to the MSRP of 50,486 and then subtract off 80 from the 44,001, since I will make them throw in that pinstripe to compensate for the last minute B.S. Floor Fee of 187 that does not go on MSRP. Then I will be at MSRP 50,486 and my price of 43,921 before the $1,000 off invoice that we had agreed to. That means my price before TTL is 42,921. I could take $4,000 off in my region or 0% interest on up to 60 months financing or 36 months lease. So, I guess if did take the rebate, my cost would be 38,921 (not including TTL) on the MSRP of 50,486. Anyone see any areas I should do better on? I think 1,000 below invoice is a decent deal from what I have read, though, in our region I think the invoice is bloated a bit by the Delivery fee being about $80 above Nat'l average and the TDA being higher than normal from what I have gathered elsewhere.

    In the end, after doing the math, I might take the financing instead of the rebate (I have other factors at work here also insofar as running a lease through a company, etc.)

    Let me know your thoughts.
  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    Completing my previous post. The missing $116 fee was PIO, for port installed options...the service cost of doing it there...but much cheaper than at dealership. They waived that B.S $187 floor fee I spoke of, so that means the final invoice was $43,972. Less the $1,000 dealer discount is $42,972. Add my $80 pinstripe, take off another $1,000 and get the 0.0001 Money Factor for the Lease (basicly 0.0% APR), and 5.0% tax credit (L&M) benefits in my region....ASK ASK ASK. I was not counting on this when I summarized above, but it IS available in my region right now. Bottom line, on my TTL I saved another $2,100!! With doc fee of 196.30 and Acq Fee of 550, I have a total capitalized cost of 43,302.92 for my 0.024% APR Lease.

    I am pretty pleased with this deal......
  • mntbikermntbiker Member Posts: 5
    what was the residual on your lease?
  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    It will be whatever you get by using the above Money Factor and capitalized cost and an oversized payment to build equity into the vehicle. My firm has a fringe benefit of use it or lose it large per month fee toward a car....so we structure things this way, and set the term to the lowest residual possible, then always buy the car out at the end. It is part of the benefit....to own it for cheap and under then mkt value after it has been a work vehicle. Hence, any number I quote you for payment or residual is meaningless as I don't by on lowest monthly payment....I buy on lowest cap cost and lowest money factor.

    I was offered what I think is a good price on a 2008 Double Cab 4X4 LTD 5.7L Tundra with NAV: $34480. MSRP is $42250

    When I went to the dealer for another test drive and to let them look at my trade they tried to slide in $380 worth of pin striping and dealer license plate holders and such stuff but the offer still stands at 34480. What do you think?

    Dan
  • jfritschjfritsch Member Posts: 958
    What does the used 07 version of your 08 new 42000 tundra wholesale (trade in value) for on kbb.com and nada.com with 15000 miles (avg)?

    --jjf
  • shannondanshannondan Member Posts: 5
    $28,025
  • jfritschjfritsch Member Posts: 958
    Check out my message 4681 in the Hyundai Sonata prices paid forum. Also my messages in the Silverado and Dodge Ram 1500 prices paid forum. I would want to buy the 08 vehicle within 20% of the price of a used 07. The more bids the better. Preferably less as the wholesale prices are probably optimistic in the consumer books. Puts you around 33.400 or less.

    In any event the 14000 from msrp in 12 months puts the 7500 or so off sticker in perspective. They certainly aren't giving the things away. The Chevy may be about the same and a 42000 Dodge Ram is a 20000 vehicle in a year (its msrp is higher)

    Good luck

    Net savings of ~$8k is a good deal for that truck. How much is the rebate in your area. It's $4000 in SoCal.
  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    I don't really understand why people post questions to others as to how good their deal is, or how fair it is, and omit posting the set of numbers relative to invoice. 7 or 8 or 9 grand off MSRP does not mean much contextually unless you know relative to invoice what you are paying...
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    On a Tundra as so described, there's not a whole heck of a lot of front end gross. This vehicle only has a spread of ~$3800 between full MSRP and factory invoice. If he's "net-net" $7800 off sticker, one can assume that they sold him the vehicle at or very near invoice (+/-), depending on the size of the rebate ($3-$4k). Nothing wrong with that - it's a great deal and if he worked with a dealer that's dedicated to customer service, then even better. Anyway you shape it, it works out the same.

    I do see your point though, if we had no way of knowing invoice, $X amount off MSRP would be useless. But, we do have a reference (Edmunds and other sources), and can therefore analyze a deal if someone is so inclined to ask for our opinion(s).
  • shannondanshannondan Member Posts: 5
    I was simply wondering what other people are paying, I know how to calculate invoice but knowing how people are actually doing with the price of gas going up is also valuable information.

    Here are the numbers:
    2008 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A) w/ NAV.
    MSRP: 42,383.
    INV: 38,880.
    Offer: 34,480.

    I think that puts me about $4,400 under invoice, 3K of which is the rebate, (I'm providing financing.)

    I'm probably going to pounce on this deal tomorrow, I just need to see if I can get a great deal on the factory warranty and research if this $399 document fee is legitimate.

    Thanks for your advice,
    Dan
  • jfritschjfritsch Member Posts: 958
    The document fee is irrelevant. Get competing quotes inclusive of all dealer fees. (doc, advertising, prep, alimony) etc.... and possibly tax in your state and county.

    Doc fees are very useful to surprise walk-ins and others for another 400 in profit who don't know any better. They threaten to walk but most don't, they're exhausted. Dealers usually have the forms printed with the fee on it and for one reason or another given the section of the law they fall under they can get into hassles giving one person a lower fee than another, instead of being consistent. Getting the price 399 or so lower is more practical.

    A 7yr 100kmi bumper to bumper warranty should be about 1200 or less. Avoid paying 1800 or 2000 for these regardless of the refund provisions, etc...

    Good luck
    --jjf

    jjf et al.

    Here is the final deal:
    2008 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr Double Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6A) w/ NAV.
    MSRP: 42,383.
    INV: 38,880.
    Final Offer: 34,480.
    7/70/0 Toyota Warranty $900.

    Thanks for the help!

  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    $1,400 under invoice from the dealer (netting out the rebate) is about as good as I have heard. I got about the same, in equivalent terms of value I guess, when I figure I got $1,000 off invoice from the dealer, had him match-trade for a "core" vehicle limited, and then customized it at the port in final assembly to essentially arrive as an ordered vehicle to me 2 weeks after I struck the deal. That, and the fact the dealer put me in a loaner car for free for 9-14 days since I sold my previous car faster than expected and was without wheels is pretty good value (since I did not have to rent a car at $35 per day, etc.).......

    So, you should be very happy with your deal I suspect. Not sure how to read the extended wty. In all my previous history I have never bought into the value of those, and in fact, have never lived to regret it. But, $900 is not much. I still will likely skip it....
  • shannondanshannondan Member Posts: 5
    I decided to spring for a warranty because Consumer Reports predicted reliability for the 4X4 Tundra is not good. I know you're usually OK with not getting a warranty but I have a feeling a $0 deductible transferable warranty is one of the things (like nav) that will make this truck stand out when I sell it or trade it in five years from now.
  • mrvmanmrvman Member Posts: 5
    This is the deal I have in Arizona on a Tundra "Limited", DBL cab, 4X4, std bed, 5.7L. We wanted white, as we live in Arizona, and also nav, none to be had so we had to order. I tried most dealers in the state and e-mailed and called trying to get below invoice, but could not make it happen. Even tried the end of the month, dealers would call back later after saying no and would say no a month later, when they folowed up.
    Base; $33,923
    NV (nav); $1,368
    OF (off rd TRD) $32
    P7 (XM redio) $359
    Dest $685
    PDA $845
    Gas $10
    HLBK $775
    WHSL FIN RES $785 (Is this for real?)
    So above is the invoice on an "08" on a special "build" as toyota calls it, the dealers I have dealt with will only go $200 over the above. Most dealers do not want to order/build, one even told me to buy a domestic truck if want special options and colors, white is special with navigation? That Whole sale finacial reserve bothers me, I have never seen that before, is that for real? I do not have the truck yet. Part of the deal is no dealer add ons, no nothing, this is it. Of course on top of this are the insentives. Once again, most dealers told me with insentives it was a below invoice deal. I know for a fact that the Tundra is not selling well and dealers want to get rid of what they have in inventory, so if a person can find what they want in inventory they might get a better deal. I might get the warranty with the truck also, what is invoice on the Toyota warranty?
  • djay4djay4 Member Posts: 1
    Mrvman,

    I love this truck. I was getting cold feet because I was doing all the dealing over the phone for a solid week but I drove it again today before I signed the purchase agreement and this is the truck to end all trucks. Far more luxurious and powerful than my 1997 F-150 Lariat 4X4 with the 5.4 V8, the last truck I owned (and loved). When you sit in the Tundra you really feel like a king of the road, especially if you're a tech dork that likes the bluetooth nav system.

    I wasn't able to determine what invoice was on the warranty but I read of someone getting the Tundra 7/75/0 warranty for $790 elsewhere in this lengthy thread. That'd be a good number to aim for, if improbable.

    I decided not to go with the warranty when I closed today because when I insured the truck with Geico this morning they told me I get free 7-year mechanical breakdown insurance (a warranty you can take anywhere) with my normal insurance. I asked the Geico representative what the difference was between their (free) warranty and the one I was going to buy from Toyota and they said that I can take my truck anywhere, including the Toyota dealership, for repairs on any component not including normal wear and tear or abuse. Sounds like the toyota warranty to me.

    I don't know how good this warranty is but I decided not to include the Toyota one in the financing until I knew more. I bought the truck anyway at $34480 + tags & taxes (approx 36,800 out-the-door price) and it drives like A DREAM! As soon as you get your truck someplace appropriate, turn off the vehicle stability control and floor it. Holy moly.

    Don't let them out-negotiate you. With gas prices the way they are you can steal one of these beauties if you out-wait them. There were 48-hour stretches during the last 7 days when none of the five dealers and I were calling each other. Inevitibly, my phone would ring and one of the internet managers would announce a breakthrough with the General Manager and they've managed to come up a thousand on my trade-in, or come down on the Tundra. I let the deal hang for a full day (Monday) over the last $400 bucks, which they said was impossible. I said fine, I was probably nuts to buy a V8 in this market anyway but I couldn't help myself. A day later they caved, threw in rubber floor mats and I gave them my credit card # over the phone to put the truck on hold. Like yours, it's the only one of it's kind in a 5-dealer radius, exact color match and everything.

    Also, I did make it a point to visit two of the closest dealers and spend an hour there, and then excuse myself before we could sit down at their desk. I hoped this would make them think I was a more serious buyer. When it came down to people doing numbers over the phone, only the two dealers I visited took the time, the other three bailed as the numbers got more and more favorable to me.

    Good Luck,
    Dan
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    TDA looks slightly high, but again, it varies by region.

    Holdback is correct at $775 (2% of base MSRP)

    WFR is not correct - should be $387 (1% of base MSRP)

    $200 over is a very aggressive price on a special order, given you can find a "reliable" dealer to actually "preference" or submit a "build request." It's not clear, did you get a dealer to put in a build request for you, and if so, did it get approved?

    I do understand why a dealer wouldn't want to place a factory order right now, especially on a Tundra. Most dealers can't move their current stock, so ordering a vehicle takes a future vehicle out of (his) allocation. It's much more beneficial to "special order" when a vehicle has a higher demand. If your deal falls through (which they do all the time), the dealer is stuck with one more Tundy that he can't sell, instead of that 4-cyl Tacoma he could've had. Make sense?

    Remember: There's gonna' be a trade-off on a special order, you will pay slightly more, but the flip side is you'll get exactly what you want. You have to decide what's more important? You're certainly not being gouged at $200 over if they come through with this deal, and there should be no shame on your side for accepting that deal.
  • mrvmanmrvman Member Posts: 5
    Ocautoseeker,
    Thanks for the reply, I did find a dealer to order a Tundra with all options posted, for $200 over. I had problems with the build/order with towing mirrors. The dealer I am using kept submiting the order with TM towing mirrors and it kept being returned (this is the reason I am using this dealer as he would work with me on options), this went on for a couple of weeks. I called Toyota and was told, towing mirrors are not available on a Limited in the Denver region, Arizona, and if I want them, buy the truck in California. The dealer has tried, so I will buy the mirrors from parts when I get the truck. I do not have the truck yet, it was built Tuesday (27 May) out of San Antonio. I am told the truck should get here in the middle of next month. What is the going price on the Toyota platinum warranty?
    Thanks for the time.
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    Don't have an exact dollar amount on that warranty, but expect a 50% or more mark-up from retail.
  • jonmarc34jonmarc34 Member Posts: 1
    What will the rebates do after the current incentives expire on 2 Jun 08. I am planning to buy in the next week. Currently 3000 rebate, future?
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    Won't know until the ending date of the current incentives. It's kept a "tight-lipped" secret until the new numbers come out - for obvious reasosns. They certainly won't go down. SoCal has a $4000 rebate currently, which is one of the higher one's I've seen across the country.
  • davedelitedavedelite Member Posts: 7
    Be cautious about thinking going from standard mirrors to the wider, towing, mirrors is easy. I ran into an 07 Tundra owner who could not find a truck with the wider mirrors so he presumed he could do it as a dealer installed item. he could, but it was a LOT more expensive then he expected. The wiring harness is NOT there for them...it has to be run, etc. Was a complete PITA he said. Do some research on Tundrasolutions.com
  • jmtricejmtrice Member Posts: 1
    Sorry to jump in on your conversation, but I am looking at buying a crewmax Tundra LTD, and I used all the websites to figure out the Invoice, but now I am seeing this WFS (wholesale Financial reserve?) and TDA (Toyota Dealer Advertising???). Are these negotiable usually? Also, are you finding people that will negotiable the holdback? We have 0% for 60 plus 1000 cash back, but I want a good deal on the dealer side pricing also.

    Thanks
  • ocautoseekerocautoseeker Member Posts: 425
    Commented on the break-down of fees numerous times and just too tired right now to type a full response. Go back and read my post (#522). This should hopefully give you the answers you're looking for.
  • Karen_SKaren_S Member Posts: 5,092
    A reporter from a national newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who just purchased a new Toyota Tundra within the past six months and whether it had anything to do with gas prices. If you’re interested in speaking to the reporter, please contact Chintan Talati at ctalati@edmunds.com with your daytime contact information no later than June 23, 2008.
  • jimw1968jimw1968 Member Posts: 1
    I heard a rumor that there is another $5000 incentive in the gulf states of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi on the tundra in addition to the 4k already offered. Can anyone confirm this?

    thanks!
  • doknydokny Member Posts: 1
    i would be very interested to know if this additional incentive is true. i am in louisiana and i've been on the fence on whether to get a tundra or a honda ridgeline. this would definitely make the decision a lot easier.

    i was on the lot of a dealer today who had a big sign that said $6,000 off of MSRP on all tundras.
  • jfritschjfritsch Member Posts: 958
    Check out the discussion on the Chevy silverado prices paid where this is discussed. 10K off is what one is looking for on these vehicles (foreign or domestic) more or less. (for a 33k+ truck) Your clue is the big sign for 6000 off msrp. Advertised prices are usually nothing to write home about.

    Good luck

    Hi my deal constist of 2008 crewmax 4x4 sr5 for $28,900, msrp is 35,053 I feel like the market should allow more off the dealers prices. I was thinking of going with the 0% becuase they allow for an extra $1000 to be used towards downpayment. My doc fees are $293 and I haven't been hit with any other yet. Looking for other buyers input on thier experiences with Boch Toyota of norwood ma. Thanks
  • kevmelkevmel Member Posts: 4
    It looks like Toyota just sweetened their incentives to 0% APR, plus $2,000 cash back, plus $2,000 cash back for "qualified business owners". During the month of June I was able to get a local dealer price to $200 below "cost"; roughly $28,300 for a 5.7L V8, Double Cab w/ a number of options added in; MSRP was about $37,000. - My question now is how strictly dealers hold to limiting the additional cash back to "qualified business owners" and how they define that term. - As far as Boch Toyota goes, a buddie of mine bought his 2005 Tundra from them and he said they were very good to deal with. I don't have any personal experience with them.
  • dieseldan55dieseldan55 Member Posts: 4
    Hello, thanks for the input. I ended up with Woburn Toyota, Crew max 5.7, sr5, for 28,000 with $411 in Admin, added stainless side steps (600) back up camera ( 640) Rhino guard (600) and weather floor mats (120). The one add on I purchased was the 7/75000 warranty, I usually repair my own vehicles but with the newer ecu and software I didn't want to regret a minor cost down the road. I also used the 0% finance for 5 years with the $1000 extra consider down payment assistance. I traveled to six area dealers to see if they wanted to beat the deal, no takers on the 30th. I dealt with Joe Witt, and found him to be very good, knowledge on the truck and he gave me parts at cost to them. Thanks for your input good luck
  • tdbrphtdbrph Member Posts: 40
    2 or 4WD ? Did the 28k include the add ons?

    Sounds like a nice Rig......

    Triston
  • dieseldan55dieseldan55 Member Posts: 4
    Hi, No the adds on's were on top of the 28,000, and the vehicle is a 4wd. I started by traveling to dealers and see what they would accept for a price without options, so I could compare their prices accurately. Boch was the first to offer the 28,000, and the only other dealer to match it was Woburn. They also allowed the highest trade value $2100 for a 95 dodge ram. Thanks again.
  • mainetravelermainetraveler Member Posts: 2
    I was at a dealer yesterday in Maine. They are offering $8500 off list. Is this enough? What are your experiences. I want to buy, but not overpay.

    08 Toyota Tundra DBL CAB 4X4 SR5 5.7L
    List $34,547.00
    Step Tubes - Double Cab $566.50
    Bedliner $499.00
    Chrome Exhaust Tip $99
    Rebates $8500
    Sales Price $27,290.50
    Tags $24
    Admin Fee $299.00

    Have any of you gotten lower numbers and how much? I want the best deal possible.

    Money is tight and I don't have any to waste.
  • kevmelkevmel Member Posts: 4
    Your deal seems to be in the same ballpark as the quote I got a couple of weeks ago. I was interested in a couple of other options and can't reconcile the differences right not, though. Does your deal include 0% financing and/or the business owner's discount?

    I'm in the same situation regarding my "free cash" position and I don't want to overpay for a vehicle in these economically uncertain times.

    Thanks!
  • dieseldan55dieseldan55 Member Posts: 4
    I wasn't shopping that model but your prices seem reasonable, better than down here. My only other advice is to check with dealers by stopping in and going through the sit down (sales manager preferably), and go through the numbers. Bring either a lap top or calculator to double check their numbers. If you go in the a. m. I found it was easier to find a manager and lay out the deal I needed him to beat. In a short time (30 minutes) you will know if they are worth your time or not. I picked a monthly payment using the edmunds calculator to know what I should expect to have for a payment with the discount and sales tax included, money down. That way when they are running all those numbers trying to confuse you my final question is what is the monthly payment? Knowing if they weren't hiding fees or overcharging me the payment should be X. Afterward I included my options trying to settle on cost to dealer. You could do the same thing by internet but the price might increase or the truck won't be their when you go in. Through my reading it seemed the dealer is more anxious to lower his price at the end of the month to meet quotas. Hope this helps
  • mainetravelermainetraveler Member Posts: 2
    It was to be a cash deal and yes it included the business owners discount.
  • jfritschjfritsch Member Posts: 958
    Get 10-20 email bids last week of the month. July and August should be a shooting gallery for these vehicles. The market for trucks is slower than mud. If you look up a used 07 version of the new 08 you are looking at via kbb.com with avg miles you will probably find it has a trade in value of about 14000 or more off msrp for about a 33k truck. You may actually find it hard to trade it in for $16000 off msrp for another vehicle with the gas situation the way it is. As one could see 10000 off msrp isn't exactly giving the truck away for a new one.

    Also do the same with competing Chevy and Ford models. The used truck market for 05s-07s could be astonishing if tried. With all the trade-ins repos and trucks coming off lease one may be surprised at how low below kbb *trade-in* value (not dealer retail) a good lo-mi 07 with remaining warranty could be had.

    Good luck

    It was to be a cash deal and yes it included the business owners discount.

    This will be my first truck I ever purchased. I hope you will help me choose the best deal with the best options.

    I got a quote for a Tundra Base 5.7L V8 Double Cap Long Bed for $27,142 out of the door including 0% (approved) for 60 months or 24,142 out of the door cash price.
    The price before tax and fees is: $25,328 with 0.0 % finance or $22,328 cash price before taxes and fees.
    The truck has only 46 miles on it. I drove it and it seems to be fine.
    Added options: Tow mirrors, upgrade styled steel wheels, heavy duty battery, starter, etc.
    Bed liner, carpets.
    I decided to go for the long bed because it fits the large Yamaha Grizzly (82") . Regular bed is only 78". Long bed is 90".

    I'm note sure if your looking at a good deal. SUV's and big trucks are sitting on lots all over the country and are going cheap. They are loaded with incentives. Just last week, local paper, Tundra grade 4.7 was 10k off (6k rebate,4k dealer discount.)
    Thats a 30k truck for 20k. Today, I think you can do better.
    Also, 3k rebate or 0% financing? If your watching payment, shop interest rates. Banks also getting competative. Get a good low rate AND take the 3k rebate.
    (I think the rebates are better than that, check it out) Good luck.

    What's the total MSRP on the truck?

    Check out buyatoyota.com and plug in your zip. This will tell you the incentives in your region. Currently, in socal, if you opt for the 0%, there is also an additional $1000 bonus cash. If you bypass the financing, there is a $5500 rebate. You get either or, but not both.

    Get me the number on your truck and I'll tell you what I think.

    Thank you for the information. The dealer offered $4000 rebate or $1000 with 0% finance. The sticker price is $28,658 wants $25,328 with 0% finance. He showed me his invoice price and he claimed he wants to sell it without making any profit. May be he gets incentives directly from Toyota.
    I have a problem with the Tundra. I made some research and found out that bed bouncing is a big problem with the new Tundra. You can watch few films from several Tundra owners documenting bed bouncing. This is the main reason why I am not going to buy a Tundra at this time. I may get the right price but the bouncing problem is a serious issue when driving on concrete pavements.

    I am actually considering 2009 FORD F-150. It may be available by the end of this year.

    What do you think?

    Thank you for the information.

    The MSRP is $28,658 It has very few dealer installed options which is good. I feel the car has all the important options installed. Long bed, strong engine, tow mirrors, bedliner, etc.
    They may sell it for 20K.
