I thought the same thing and I can always walk away.. BUT.. How can I turn this against them or in my favor. We plan on buying the truck.. not necessarily from them but we plan on buying it somplace. The best price I've found besides them is $1,000 over invoice. $500 mark up and $500 advertising bull. $41,700.. I'm going to turn the screws and see what squeeks out. I don't know if I have legal recourse because he did accept a binder but would I ever see the truck if we followed that path.. I don't know.. But I'm not done with them yet..!

Even better, tell your local Consumer Protection agency what happened. They usually are an arm of your state's Attorney General's office.   Steve, Host

Does anyone know if there are any differences? I found a dealer that has 3 2003 in our color. Trying to find out what's in them options wise. Any differences or things that changed between the years?

Guy's on vacation so I'll have to wait till Monday. I checked with my CC company and they charged me $300 as a binder. It's still on my card. Since money changed hands I'm thinking they should be locked in.. right? Any attorneys out there?

While shopping around waitting to find out what's going to happen with the "bait & switch" guy I found a 2003 with all our options plus rear audio which we don't want. $40,999. The best price (other than the bait guy) is $41,700. I'm thinking a 2004 is worth $700 over a 2003.. any thoughts?

Its not a completed contract. An order form that lists options and price is not a contract. Even if they had faxed you a contract - unless it was signed by a person that has the authority to do so - it still would not be valid. In other words - the oil change guy - can't bind the dealership. If you had a contract and it was signed by a sales manager -you would be in much better shape.   IMO - if you did push this thing to court you would loose.   Your options depend -   Is this really an honest mistake? or Is the dealership really trying to pull one over on you?   If the dealership made an honest mistake - maybe they would be willing to sell you the truck at cost. Calculate the true vehicle cost (including deducting holdback) tell them you think they should keep their original deal and if they refuse - offer to pay them their cost on the truck. That way they don't loose anything - and they gain a happy customer.   If they really are a dishonest dealership - just get your money back move on to the next best deal.

How do I calculate "holdback" money? Would cost be invoice minus holdback? Does the $500 advertising bull also play into the cost price?

I am also in San Diego and trying to decide on a Yukon or Sequoia. Where did you get that great deal? Mossy?

Was that price out the door? I'm looking at a SR5 with AG, EJ, CQ, KE, DR, RL. I've got a V6 2WD 2001 Highlander with 30k miles for trade in. Should I sell the Highlander myself? Not too many used ones available on the market.
