#1706 of 9658 High volume toyota dealership in NC by tjlee Jul 10, 2003 (11:57 am)
Does anyone know which toyota dealerships have high volume in NC or SC? The specific website showing the information should be a best answer. Thanks.

in North Carolina is the largest volume dealer in your area. I believe that they are a one price store.
#1708 of 9658 XLE with option package 14: SoCal area by ssinwell Jul 10, 2003 (5:39 pm)
Not a great deal - we agreed to knock $1,000 off the MSRP - no trade in, just a straight up deal. Bought the only XLE they had on the lot, a silver color. Also bought the Platinum warranty (7yrs, 100K miles) for $850.   I was in a hurry to buy a mini-van, and this compromised my ability to deal - but there was no wait, and they had the color and style I wanted. Whole transaction took 90 minutes.

Southern California, hot new model, and a grand off MSRP? Sounds like you did fine to me. Congrats on the new ride!   Steve, Host
#1710 of 9658 SoCal XLE by ssinwell Jul 11, 2003 (6:36 am)
Thanks Steve. Purchasing cars is never enjoyable for me, and so I always try to focus on the speed of the deal rather than haggle for hours about price.   Then, after the purchase comes the self doubt about how much money I left on the table. And, in this case, we all know that in about 6 to 8 months these prices will drop as supply rises and competing vehicles become viable.   By the way, the financing rate was pretty decent, I thought. If you have a credit score of at least 730, you can get a interest rate of 3.09% (looked like the dealer had an arrangement with Wells Fargo). The best rate I could have gotten at my bank was about 4.40%. Not a big difference, but every dolllar counts! Last time I financed a car was my old 99 Avalon, and the rate was about 7.50% or so.

mk37: I've been talking via phone with Pitts in Dublin, Ga. re: an XLE . He quoted me a very good price and said he was expecting delivery Aug 8. Did you actually buy your van from them and did they have it on the lot or did they have to find it My local dealer says he can't find one and doesn't believe one is available. Was your experience a good one ?   Russ1928
#1712 of 9658 Advertising fee? by retsabor Jul 12, 2003 (6:23 pm)
Just placed an order for a 2004 XLE Ltd w/pkg #4 (HE) and preferred accessory pkg #1. I know you always have to pay the destination fee ($510 in this case), but then the dealer added on an advertising fee of $599. Is this fee to be expected? Is it normal to include that when negotiating the cost of the car?   Of course, the dealer also added on $344 (Wholesale Finance Reserve) and $689 (Holdback). I guess you can't avoid those, huh?
#1713 of 9658 Ad fee by steve_ HOST Jul 12, 2003 (6:28 pm)
Welcome to the world of Toyota.   I think the better practice is to negotiate an out-the-door price that includes everything.   Toyota gets a lot of flack about this invoice item, and rightly so in my opinion. You don't see them breaking out electric costs for the showroom, and those costs vary by region just like ad fees.   That other stuff may be legit too, but since they tacked them on after you think you've agreed to a price.... well, maybe it's just me, but I'd cancel the order and start over.   Steve, Host

I got what i think is a good deal working through internet sales department of a dealer here in town. Initially, I contacted 4 dealerships. 2 responded, but only one was serious. I got an XLE with option # 14, carpet mats, Arctic Frost Pearl paint($200 extra)for 2,000 below MSRP. Out the door price ( not including tax & license)is about 5% over invoice. I flat out refused to pay 2% dealer hold-back and 1% finance reserve. I did agree to fueling fee of $7.50, POI hold back $17,VIP sales follow up $5. Now we'll see how long it will take for the vehicle to get here. I am told that it will be 2-4 weeks
#1715 of 9658 LE AWD wanted in Atlanta area by jminor Jul 13, 2003 (1:05 pm)
Does anyone have a dealer recommendation for the Atlanta, GA area? Online inventory searches don't show any AWD's in the area so I'm assuming I'll have to order. Thanks!
