Is it true that the cost for volume dealer is much lower? by dongliu

Thanks greytautumn for the inside information.
For a long time I suspected that the cost could be much lower for those cash-paying, early-ordering, and large-volume dealers. It is also desirable for Toyota to offer big incentive to those dealers that pay cash for confirmed orders ahead of production. It will enable Toyota to adjust their assembly line, parts ordering, and even shipping schedule. Every step is not trivial for such a big manufacturer to organize such a huge flow of money and merchandise.
I have good experience this time at Ira, and at Quirk Ford last time. Both have really large inventory of cars parked behind the sales floor. I can always feel the intense pressure to make a deal and move the cash flow. That make the salesmen nice and customer happy. That is why I feel reluctant to go to smaller dealers.
Now looking back at dealers, I would think that it is only fair that these large-volume, eagerly-negotiating dealers are rewarded with lower cost.
Anyone has more concrete information?

guideline for a good deal by cheapskate21

Hi - I appreciate everybody who shares their buying price information. However, it's a little hard to figure out what's the general guidelines for a good deal.
 
Can someone tell me how much above or below invoice is considered a good deal?

go $500 below dealer invoice. this number should NOT include the manufacturer rebate. Dealers like to confuse customers into thinking they are getting an awesome deal by throwing in the rebate as part of the negotiation. the truth is that the rebate is YOUR money, not the dealers. therefore all negotiations on the price of the vehicle should NOT include the rebate. Once you arrive at the negotiated price, then subtract the rebate to arrive at your final price.

I would like to get into a minivan by the end of August. Any thoughts on how much the rebates and rates will move during the summer months?
 
My last buying expereince was a few Julys ago. Turn out the deal I got the end of July was just as good as those in Sept. (carmax, no haggle)
 
I am in a position to wait but don't want to miss out on the combination of packages and/or color.

You can still negotiate another $400 to arrive at the best price. My car has all you options plus cargo net and first aid kit (I think another $90 - $100) and I got my car for $26400 (not including rebate). A dealer looking to make a deal during the end of the month will give you that price.

You can check yourself at edmunds.com or kbb.com
Print the price list out and bring it with you to the dealer.

underinvoice -
 
Thanks for the advice! Currently, there's 0% APR OR $1500 rebate, ending in about a week in my area. It's so hard to find the car I want (XLE Limited AWD w/ DVD & Nav). I check 6 dealers around the area. Only 2 has them. Dealer A has one unit. Dealer B has 2 units.
 
Do you think I still can get $500 below invoice? I am almost ready to pay invoice, or even a couple hundred above, just to secure the car. I am opting for 0% APR (not the rebate).
 
I don't know if more '07 Sienna's will be coming out. If not, there will be no 0%APR / rebate on the 08's. I hate to miss the 0%APR / rebate ...

ok thanks. I will keep that in mind.
 
Btw, did your LE come equipped with a security system? Apparently its not standard... if so, did you have to pay anything additional for that?
