RUN, don't walk - away from this deal. Here are some problems I see without even getting in too deep:
 
1) Their "total inv" doesn't even add up correctly. It is $110 too high.
2) TDA? for $560 ???? This is probably something like "Toyota Dealer Adjustment," and would more accurately be labeled "dealer greed." Don't pay it.
3) They're charging you for gas ???? That alone should land them in jail.
4) Dealer holdback ($799) and Whsl Financial Res ($399) should be DEDUCTED from the invoice, not added to it. That's a $2398 swing the other way right there.
5) They should also be $500 UNDER invoice, not over.
 
Your offer on this vehicle should be $36,674 plus tax, title and license and not a penny more. If they don't like it, RUN !!
 
BTW, ask the dealer what he was going to do with the $3508 he was going to over-charge you....betcha his golf club membership is due this month...

I've covered and clarified this topic a few times and don't really feel like repeating myself, so I attached a link to one of my posts in the Tundra threads that explains those "fees" in great detail. Click on the link below and read first, then come back and examine the sample invoice I posted. This will hopefully bring some clarity to this issue. Keep in mind, the link will take you to one of my posts in which I was responding to another member's question - not everything in that post will apply, but you'll be able to read through the lines and take the 411 that pertains to this deal.

Thanks for all the info and my wife and I picked up last Wednesday and got 28.8 MPG on the first tank. I was fairly militant about the Econ mode etc but even with my wife driving 75% of the time and not paying as close attention we are pleased with the vehicle.
 
I read the posts you mentioned so I thought I had a pretty good idea what to pay but just wanted to throw it out there.
 
Thanks.....
