#467 of 1709 What is Invoice Price by patdavis Dec 04, 2003 (5:05 am)
I see lots of experiences posted here related to $100 over invoice or $500 over invoice. But what is invoice. I define invoice as only   Base Model Invoice + Options Invoice   Then there are items below the line such as: Destination + Advertising + Wholesale Financing + Hold Back   I understand destination and advertising - but isn't the hold back built into the base/option manufacturer's invoice price?   The dealer has told me that invoice is everything listed above and that my offer of $500 over is added after all the extras (destination, etc.) And they did not tell me about the extras until I agreed to $500 over invoice. I think they are double dipping?   Any thoughts or clarifications?

I was looking for GREEN, RED or BULE SR5 with almost all options that LIMITED has (except one's I can not get on SR5). I went to most of the dealers in NOVA. Finally I found this one (BLUE MARLIN) at Koons Toyota in Vienna (On Rte 7 in Tysons). It is brand new with 6 mile on it. Toyota shipped it to the dealer on Nov 19, 2003 and I bought it on Nov 29, 03. If you Need more info, email dhira_98yahoo.com.

IMO - the destination charge is part of invoice - but all the other stuff is not.   Many will claim that these other fees must be paid by dealer - so they should be included.   The wholesale financing and hold back are not part of invoice.   Tell this dealer to shove it and find one that at least pretends to be honest.

Try an Advanced Search from the left sidebar if you are still looking for info on Southeast Toyota (SET) distribution fees, etc.   Steve, Host
#471 of 1709 2004 4x2 Limited Fort Worth TX by aaimichael Dec 04, 2003 (7:48 pm)

#472 of 1709 2004 RWD SR5 by gtscot Dec 04, 2003 (9:14 pm)
2004 RWD SR5 FLORIDA AG(x17 whls),CQ,DR,EJ,GY,KE,LF,SR,LA80(PIO LTHR), TOYOTA MOP-N-GLOW etc,& Del'y. $36K out the door plus state sales tax and dmv tag & title fees. Dealer tried to slide in prep "fee" of $400 on top of the $36K, but I caught it and had it absorbed into the $36K. I don't know how much that is above invoice. If I listen to the dlr he is going into the poorhouse tomorrow. (yeah right!!). If I listen to another dlr, its $750 over invoice. I suspect its more like $1K to $1.2K above invoice. I was on a short time crunch and there aren't too many of this configuration availalbe in the colors I wanted (White/oak)in the time frame, so I wasn't able to play one against the other as much. I'm pretty happy that I got what I wanted, (or I will be when it arrives in about a week) from the Port. Incidently the 36K is the same price that Carsdirect.com says they can get it for. But whether that includes dealer prep fee or not I don't know.
#474 of 1709 bogus regional advertising fee by stevek80 Dec 09, 2003 (12:38 pm)
Hey KatZat.. Did you ever find out if the bogus regional advertising fee is for real? I just got that line from dealer number 2.. He said he would do $500 over invoice and then came in $1,000 over Edmunds invoice. He said every dealer will charge this fee. I'm starting to make my call now to check.. but thought I'd ask you too.. What part of the country do you live in.. I'm in the North East..
#475 of 1709 Stevek80 -- bogus regional advertising fee by katzat Dec 09, 2003 (11:33 pm)
Steve, the Sequoia I recently ordered was the second new vehicle I have purchased by researching the invoice cost of the vehicle and options I wanted. The regional advertising fee has been present on the invoice in both cases. The first new vehicle I bought was a ’96 Volvo 850, and the advertising fee was roughly $300 in that case as well.   Based on my experience (I personally reviewed the invoice on the Volvo) this fee is real and inevitable. If the dealership waives it, that would be unusual. He’s more likely to simply sell you the truck for what he considers roughly $200 over invoice, which will calculate to roughly $500 over the invoice price you calculate from Edmunds.   In both of my cases, I was pleased with the roughly $800 over dealer invoice that I calculated and just bought the vehicles. For me, it beats bending the poor guy over for what is generally less than ¾% on a purchase of this magnitude – particularly if I never have to set foot in the dealership until I pick up the truck   I live (and purchased the Sequoia) in the Chicagoland area. The advertising fee for my truck was around $300, which made the price of the truck a little more than $800 over the Edmunds published invoice.   BTW, I have still not taken delivery of the truck as the option combination I ordered will take 4 months to build based on the Toyota production schedule. The dealership called this weekend to tell me that the truck will be delivered on or before January 25, ’04. I ordered the truck the last week of September – I’m getting antsy.
#476 of 1709 2004 Sequoia , 2wd SR5, Salsa Red. by bangddrum Dec 16, 2003 (6:18 pm)
I bought my 2004 Sequoia exactly one month ago. The invoice price was $33,150, MRSP $37,800 something. I was at the dealership negotiating the price with the sales guy and his manager for about 7 hours. My wife and I at one point left the dealership to a nearby restaurant to have dinner. They eventually gave me my asking price, $32,150, exactly one thousand dollars below invoice. My Sequoia has all the options that a limited has, except for leather seats and the DVD entertainment. I can safely say that the 7 hours my wife and I spent at the dealership was not a complete waste.
