The Internet Sales Manager at Toyota of Bowie (MD) was very good to me.
 
The Internet folks at Koons Annapolis were less responsive and pretty much just responded to my quote with an e-mailed advertisement of their current specials.
 
Good luck!

Rebate Question??? by mldj98
Apr 08, 2005 (8:24 am)

After reading a bunch of the posts listed here I have a question concerning this issue???
 
Correct me if I am wrong but when a manufacturer offers a rebate (let's say $1K), that rebates does not get deducted until the final bottom line numbers is listed.
That's to say, after all options and taxes have been figured out.
In fact, I am almost positive (have to look at some of my old sales records).
 
So when I see people posting prices on here such as $26,500 (after rebate) I thing they are misinformed. You do not collect the rebate until after the bottom line number is figured out. So basically, you are not saving the extra tax $ on the $1K because it is not subtracted until after the final sale number.
 
Am I way off base here...(that's the way they do it here in FL)
 
Your thoughts?

I purchased my '04 HL 4wd LTD from Darcars Frederick in August 2004. Here is a brief of my dealership experiences:
 
Darcars (specifically 355 Toyota) has the best listed prices on the net in the DC area. Shop their prices with other dealers in the area and see if any will beat it.
 
The northern VA dealers all wanted me to visit their dealership to provide final pricing - I was not interest in doing that. I visited Alexandria Toyota (because I work near there), but they would not touch the price offered by Darcars. Koons Tysons said they would beat all other deals, but wanted me to come by on a weekend. They are huge and far too busy for me to do that.
 
In MD, Fitzmall and Carmax have firm pricing which, in my opinion, is too high. Koons Annapolis was willing to beat the Darcars price by $100, but I found out that their vehicle did NOT have the preferred pkg {mats, net, glass break, wheel locks, first aid} included. This package was worth at least a few hundred dollars. The smaller Toyota dealers do not have much of an internet department and most never got back to me. Those that did write back had VERY HIGH prices.
 
Baltimore area dealers were not even interested in hearing about the low price quoted on Darcars Website.
 
I shopped the 355 price amongst Darcars dealers and found the exact vehicle I wanted at Darcars Frederick. They were extremely helpful and gave me NO hassle. Everything was as expected and I had no problems. I recommend them - but stay away from Darcars Silver Spring, they don't seem to be well organized.

Rebates are applied after tax is calculated on your purchase. People on these boards generally talk about prices before tax, title & licensing - since these are not negotiable and vary between localities.

Looks good to me. I paid $1,730 less than that but my LTD doesn't have NV or GN. Except that I don't know what DK is. All the Limiteds I saw came pretty much equipped the same as this one. Only differences I saw were a few that came with navigation or DVD, or in only one case, both.

Thanks for sharing the very detailed information.
 
One thing that I find surprising about the locales where "cheap, no-hassle" dealers are located (like Fitzmall and Dacars) is that the Edmunds TMV in those zip codes is actually higher for most cars than where I live (Ohio). I cannot prove this scientifically, but I did check for the few Highlander configurations I was interested in...regional adjustment is negative for Ohio zip codes and positive for these zip codes.
 
What puzzles me is that if I lived anywhere near these places, I would check there first and then compare....if that logic applies to most people, the average selling price in these places (whcih is what I understand TMV to be) should be less, not more than other locales.
 
Anyone else curious about this?

Rebate versus APR by pook

I saw that Toyota is offering an either/or with the $1250 cash back or special finance rate. My question revolves around trying to get both. My credit union has told me they will beat any finance rate I'm offered somewhere else. So ,theoretically, couldn't I see if I qualify for the special finance rate at Toyota so my credit union will beat that, then turn around and tell the dealer sorry, but I'd rather have the cash back and end up with both? Has anyone ever done, heard of or attempted this? Any help is appreciated!
