Replying to: svofan2 (Jun 09, 2009 5:09 am) I visited the dealer's own website and the exact vehicle I wanted was in stock....options, color, everything. I couldn't have factory-ordered it any closer to what I wanted, so that was a bit of luck. This dealer had a "click here to make an offer" button for each vehicle on the lot, so I went that route. I was then contacted via e-mail from the internet sales manager, and after about 30 minutes and some minor back-and-forth, and we had arrived at a price. Two days later, when I arrived at the dealer, the sales manager was waiting for me with the vehicle pulled from inventory and ready for me to test drive. My wife and I were sent out alone (no salesman) and they appraised my trade while we were gone. After the test drive, we haggled (although I wouldn't really call it that) over my trade allowance for about 5 minutes, and then were at a number we could both live with. He then honored without delay the price for the new car we had agreed upon earlier in the week, and that was about it. Saw the finance guy to do the paperwork, and we were off. This is the best vehicle I've owned bar none. My only issues so far are the lack of availability of memory seats (although I knew that when I bought it), and the two extremely poor tire choices in the 19-inch size in winter weather. I live in the Chicago area, so this is a big deal to me. I'll probably upsize to 255/55R19 when I replace them.

| My 2003 V6 4WD was totaled and all I want to do is replace it, upgrading just a little, possibly to 2004 or 2005 so I can get the 3rd row seat. Woodgrain and leather would be nice. Any idea what I should pay? What's the best way to buy a used car? I haven't done this before. Thanks. | |

Two, more local, dealers weren't as enjoyable to work with, so they each lost out -- Pauly Toyota in Crystal Lake and Schaumburg Toyota. |

Replying to: aviddiver_her (Mar 29, 2009 5:05 pm) We went to a local Toyota dealer and no sale man care about us, so I go into the manager 's office directly and the fleet manager helped us. He give me one and said his price is the best one in the dealership. MSRP: 28710.00 His price:26838.4 And I do not think his price is the best, since there are plenty of better prices in this forum. Thanks.

Replying to: whomai (Jun 14, 2009 12:10 pm) I also read that it is true that the prices offer by the fleet managers is usally the best since he respond only to the delaership owners and makes no commissions..but they are also hard to reach....maybe in your case hesaid that he was the fleet manager and maybe he is not,,,good luck to you

Replying to: svofan2 (Jun 14, 2009 4:13 pm) Yes, I checked online and he is the fleet manager. The price he gave me is the "dealer invoice + $200". And he showed the "invoice" to me. But I did not believe him. Based on what I learned from this forum, some people did get the price below the dealer invoice. Thanks,
