To confirm our emails for the populace, you state that it is not possible to dealer add or port add the Homelink/Trip computer part of the CQ pkg. How about just Homelink? I have heard of other dealers (Cadillac) who have done this.
Minhski- Check out aftermarket leather. There is a place in Orange County Ca. that is insured and trained to put in the leather on the sr5's with air bags. They do it all the time and there is a special way the leather has to be put on the seats with air bags. Good Luck
You only pay the tax on the difference from the trade in and new car. That is why I had the Honda dealer buy the car from the Toyota dealer and not me personally. I saved 8% x 19500 or $1560 in tax.
As far as 4wd is concerned, why pay thousands for it if you don't need it? In upstate NY it does come in handy, plus it makes it worth a lot more at trade in time.
Read a few of the posts to see how the rest of the country is doing. That Carson is giving a discount at all indicates you're in a good area to buy a truck, you just may have to wait it out. Remember that, like the Odyssey, you're competing with customers who are willing to pay more than you.
You may have to wait until the early birds have been wormed.
PS - I am not a car salesman (although I might sound like one!) - I think I am just a realist.
Yes, I bought from the same dealer zinny referred me to. $550 over invoice price of $34,904. Absolutely nothing other than goverment imposed fees: VA taxes & tags (3%), MN $25 processing fees.
So what ever else fees they add on is just another gimmick to rip their customers who are willing to pay.
Zinny didn't mention the name of the dealer in his previous post. It's Wilkins Toyota in Minneapolis, ask for Craig Fuhs, and you can look up their phone number on Yahoo yellow pages.
including the TDA, is that correct?
Besides the TDA, the local dealer also added $220 for processing fees. So that's almost another $1K to whatever price they quote.
I bought mine from another dealer without paying either fees. So, see if you can find one that's similar in your area.
Will just live with it till next time I supposed.
Be careful out there!

Thanks to everyone else for you advise and reply's this board is great.
Thanks in advance
States that do that also tax you annually (lux tax, whatever, property tax) on the car's value, so all states get you coming or going!

Sequoia sale price 30000
Your trade's value 22500
difference 7500 (taxable)
22500 x 3.25%(or whatever your tax rate is)= 731.25 in sales tax savings.
Simply, you need to be able to sell you car for at least $23231.25 to an individual just to break even(using 3.25% as sales tax rate)
There's no charge for sales tax or license for Ca when the car's arrived to you if you are buying here in CA and you reside in another state, but if you reside in *CA* and buy a car out of state, the CA department of motor vehicles will make you pay sales tax and license for CA when you register your car, and it's based on the selling price of the new car. No consideration is made for a "difference" figure. Other states might be different. And, if you buy in CA and I ship, you will have to settle up the local sales tax and license for your own state when you register the car there.
Woe be it the dealership who plays with their selling price numbers drastically... they are open to audit and major tax law cites if they do that.

Is there a solution, or am I going to just get told that noone else has complained??
Thanks for any word.

I too think the sound system could use some improvement considering the price range these vehicles are selling at.
Like Mercedes-Benz C series, they offer Bose speakers as an option on those cars.
To dealers, What's the percentage of SEQ buyers take these offers Diane/Steve?
I paid an extra $1K for the warrantee, for someone who's not mechanically-inclined. Just a peace of mind I supposed.
I struggled for a bit over the extended warranty. I think they are a bad idea most of the time, but this being a first year vehicle I was tempted to go for it. I eventually declined on the extended warranty and put my trust in Toyota quality. The cost was over $1000 and I just didn't think it was worth it.

In 1945, tbever also reflected on the intermittent dash squeek problem. Thinking that the Tundra and Sequoia may share dash components, I checked the TundraSolutions.com Tundra forum, searching on "dash rattle", and shazam! got 28 hits (28 forums, not just 28 posts)!
Among the best are "Tickity, tick,tick, tickity goes the dash" and "Dash Rattle? Fix?", among others. The problem they describe sounds real familiar, ticking or squeeking where the dask meets the windshiels when going over bumps, especially when it's cold.
They proposed several fixes, the best of which costs $3 and takes 45 min. for you to put in (you don't have to taks anything apare for this one). Others have taken the radio out or the dash apart. Nobody seems to have goten a solution from the dealer.
Good stuff on those forums (Shoppers have their oun forums on Tundra.Solutions.com).
If you aren't just tugging Alabamians' chain with your tongue in cheek comment, you really need to check out Gulf Shores near Mobile, not to mention Huntsville, or the [non-permissible content removed] Dog Cemetery up in the northwestern hills. And there's always the MB factory in Tuscaloosa (close to that famous rib & white bread place). They don't make Sequoias there, but....

We drove 31/2 hours away from Indianapolis to Jasper, IN to pay 41-n-change for a vehicle with 43-n-change on the sticker.
As long as I THINK I got a good deal, then it's a good deal.
The car ('cause it rides like a car) was wonderful on the trip home.
It had 11 miles on it. It's the first car my wife has ever had that had a sticker on it...actually, the sticker was never even put on!
Hey! That would be me! To be honest, I've been meaning to check out if any Sequoia folks would be interested. I'll get something set up for you next week for sure.
