Chuck Hutton Toyota in Memphis is advertising 2008 rentals with less than 3,000 miles for $10,990. It's definitely a buyers market right now. With gas prices going up though, you have to think that might end soon.
Some more details would be good, or just plug in the info yourself on this site. If it's the fully-loaded version, you should be able to still talk them down a grand or so as it shows trade in of 9800 dollars (that'd be what the dealer paid at the most). If it's a base-model hatchback you're looking at, then it's way too high.
On May 31st 2009 at Sandy Spring Toyota in Atlanta, I paid $11,666 for a 2009 4-door sedan with auto tranny plus $836 in sales tax, doc fees of $599, and yes the Toyo Interior/exterior Protection Package for $699 (Grrrr! but because of the "loss leader" advertised price of $11,888 for the vehicle I could not get them to come off of it) for a drive out the door price of $13,800 for a 4-door automatic with the $1,500 power package, integrated fog lamps, the groovy Yaris floor mats, and (aftermarket) keyless entry (I refused to drive out the door without it).
Of course I did not get to choose a color at this price (Flint Mica exterior with charcoal fabric upgraded interior) but I couldn't care much less--I feel that since I got them to throw in the aftermarket keyless entry and also got them to come $222 off the advertised price from 11,888 to 11,666 that I got a very good deal on a new Yaris. Did I? You tell me.
Depending on the feedback here, I will tell you the LOOOOONG VERSION of the purchase experience if you demand to hear it. All i will say is that if you are not willing to walk away, you cannot get the best price on a car. Period. Should I have walked away more than I did or was this a rock-bottom price?
I know I got it way below invoice, but I also know that: 1) the Edmunds TMV price is $500 below the invoice price, and 2) the invoice prices on a car is not really the invoice price at all when you consider the rebates, the holdbacks, and other dealer incentives that I dont have a mommy-freaking clue about.
FYI, the $1,000 dealer rebate that ended June 1 on the 09 Yaris was of course retained by the dealer.
So far, I am very happy. I rented a Yaris a few weeks ago and LOVED it. Decided to see if I could get one at a low enough price to make buying a new car cost-effective for my budget (I often buy used vehicles). I think after a week that I can still feel good about the purchase price, but you tell me. Thanks for any feedback--any and all is welcome.
If it was the $17000msrp S model about $13000 would be about the max too for a new 09. Both of them have an used 08 trade in of about $10000. (kbb.com) Seems like about an average deal.
Happy drivin

13,765 Base 4-door Automatic
1,500 Power package (door locks, windows, etc)
230 Remote keyless entry
169 Carpet floor mats
110 Integrated front fog lamps
699 Toya Plus Protection package (ding removal, fabric stain removal, etc)
750 Destination charge
599 Tag, title, documentation
836 Sales tax
$18,658 TOTAL
so i figured maybe a driveout price of $13,800 was better than average. Maybe not!
This is illegal in most places - now we are in dispute trying to get our money back but it looks hopeless - that's why I will never buy Toyota and to be fair it is not just them, it seems to be everywhere now.
If you put your trust and faith in people that sell cars they will screw you if they can.
How did she do We live in the San Francisco area
Sounds like a very good deal to me and I wouldn't mind the same (looking for a hatch though).
What dealer?
Here is my story for you: I bought a Lexus SC 430, the most expensive car Lexus makes and I had gone over to the dealship dressed in clothes from bringing our boat back from Ft Lauderdale. In other words I was not dripping in diamonds. I was treated horribly and I caled Japan direct to speak with the President. He called me back twice to make certain that I was satisfied and the salesman got fired. Just because you can drip in diamonds doesn't mean you have to....Keep the Yaris its lots of fun...I like it better than any car I have ever owned.
I permanently installed a Nuvi 5000 GPS in my right hand glove box with a bsck up camera. That was the only one that Best Buy could permanently install.
My brother then bought the Honda Fit...It doesn't have as many storage compartments and the gas mileage is less ....enjoy your Toyota..You are #1
Love my Yaris...better than Lexus....and better than Mustang that I own...its just perfect....the dealership chuckles at me as they can't believe that I love my Yaris over the other autos I have owed....I paid seventeen something it was a special order with automatic everything ...door locks, tinted windows, aluminum wheels with nitrate or something like that in them that they do not lose "air" backup camera, gps installed...bought the exhaust tip and the decals for the doors etc...love my Yaris....
Still waiting for your longer version of buying experience...

i cant figure out why the dealer offered the car at such a low price either! it was in paper at 11,888 for 4 door sedan with AT, power package, fog lamps, floor mats. The dealer DID retain a 1,000 rebate in a program which ended in May. i am sorry i forgot to mention that. They did come off the price another 200 down to 11,666, and they threw in keyless entry because they told me over the phone that it had keyless and when i got to dealer and it did not i was a little perturbed.
but remember i didnt get that great a deal . . .my drive out price was 13,800 because l paid 599 for the ding/dent/fabric stain removal package (they would not sell without it) plus about 800 in sales tax plus another 600 in title and tag fees . . .so they got their money that way, plus the 1,000 rebate. when you consider all that, they made a little money on the deal despite the fact that i got it WAAY below invoice . . isnt there also a dealer holdback for toyota too? I dont know that number, but they had to make a buck on it.
I have 3 dealerships offering me a bit over 17,000, including taxes tags and fees. This is for a 2010 flint/charcoal AT sedan with the steel wheels power package, all-weather package, keyless entry, and carpeted cargo/floor mats. This I painstakingly negotiated down from 17700 over a period of 1 month!
I live in PA, I am dealing with 3 PA dealerships.
What am I doing wrong??? I feel like I'm doing a GOOD job negotiating and researching (I feel like I built the car), but they are not going less than exactly $99 over invoice. I thought THAT was a good deal. Isn't it...?
I'd love to wait a few months... in fact, I can wait until February. But February is a terrible, frigid month in PA, but my inspection is due in March and my current car will NOT pass.
How much do you think the price might fluxuate? I wish there was a graph for previous years to compare.
Is there an ideal month to buy a new car, before the next model year rolls out?
I was able to get my 2009 Yaris 4-door auto with power package, etc for so cheap ($11,666) because I am convinced that it had sat unsold on their lot for perhaps six months before I came along and offered about 200 less then their advertised price of $11,888 for a new 4-door with automatic, power package (steel wheels), keyless entry, floor mats, and fog lights. I got it way below invoice and that's the only way I can figure it happened. At the time (late May) Toyota was also giving 1,000 rebate to dealers, and so since I paid $599 title fee, plus 600 bucks for their ding/stain removal package, the dealer made $2,200 on those 3 items . . . but I still figure I got it for a few grand under invoice, so maybe some additional holdback money or volume incentive also figured into the deal for them. I dont know. Also, consumer confdidence was at an all-time low back in May . . . sales of new cars were REALLY bad at the time.

Also got 2 year/25K mile service package which will include 5 oil changes and a 15K mile service. Approx value could be around $200-$250
List price incl delivery was $16,978
So you did great in your deal, IMO.

The couple of things that I didn't like were - gauges in the middle and no remote trunk opener.
But hopefully like you said, it would give me years of solid performance. So that would work.
Thanks!
thanks :confuse:
