I'm in San Diego as well. I'm getting quotes on same specs around $27K but w/o Costco program. I suspect you have a bit more wiggle room, though. I might want to use the Costco program myself (never have before). What dealer did you go to?

Looking up on Edmund's, TMV for a 2009 truck like that in Austin is $100 over invoice, and they are showing only a $500 rebate as of today on Edmunds.com. So, that price would be $19557, less the rebate, giving you a price of $19,057. That assumes one can be found equipped exactly that way.
 
Like I did (see my previous post) and others have suggested, you can use the internet to get quotes from all nearby dealers, letting them know up front you want the Edmund's TMV price or better. I would suggest you use different E-mail addresses to E-mail each one, but in my case, that wasn't necessary. When I got 2 dealerships stating they would beat a price I had in writing, I was able to purchase for $800 under the TMV, then another $1500 off for the July rebate.
 
If your state allows documentation fees, I was able to have those be included in matching the TMV price. Here in SC, they still put it on the bill of sale, but it is taken into account in the actual price so the bottom line works out to the TMV price.
 
It takes time and ammo to get them to come down, but at the time I bought a couple weeks ago, they provided the ammo to get me to purchase from them for under the TMV.
 
Good Luck!

What's the point of the multiple e-mail addresses? Posing pretty much as someone else or what?

Applied for cash for clunkers program at toyota dealer 7/29 and am waiting for truck to arrive at dealer(tacoma).I got a price quote which included a 750.00 rebate from toyota.Now august incentives come out and no rebate.Will toyota still honor the 750.00 rebate because i started the process before the 7/31 rebate deadline or will i lose that rebate.I will have to wait until monday before i can contact dealer.I absoluteley will not buy that vehicle without the rebate.

Up to and including yesterday the toyota website showed a 750.00 rebate for tacoma expiring 7/31. Today it shows only 400.00 military rebate and 1000.00 college grad rebate and cars program lease special.The 750.00 rebate is gone. I completed the clunkers process and handed over title to dealer on 7/29,but no other paperwork has yet been completed as the truck is being brought from another location.I was quoted 18490.00 which includes a 750.00 rebate.I feel that rebate should be honored because the dealership had to delay everything waiting on final rules from the govt.

It seems like peoples OTD price is quite differing so I feel slightly lost. Im heading in tomorrow to look at a Tacoma that I have been considering purchasing for a few weeks:
 
2009 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 Off-Road
(OC) Off-Road Package (no JBL)
(DZ) Deluxe Audio
(TO) Towing Package
(Z1) Floor Mats?
(RL) Daytime RLights
 
The dealership is a "Best Price" dealership and they are asking $28.2k. MSRP is $31,334. Ive never negotiated with a "Best Price" dealer.
 
I dont have a VIN, but the vehicle is in MN. Any suggestions about what I should aim for in pricing would be greatly appreciated! Ive done the TMV thing, but it seems lately many people are doing even better than that! Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Had An Interesting Experience... by irishdriver

Well...walked into my local dealer today (Best price dealer...been test driving, etc. already) Double checked and test drove the exact Tacoma I wanted to buy, sat down and got everything out on the table, showed them the Edmunds TMV report and got out my checkbook and gave them the "here is what Ive found to be a fair price, Im ready to drive away in that truck right now."...and got scoffed at.
 
"We have never heard of Edmunds."
"How do we know its credible?"
"Its wrong."
"Nobody gets those kinds of prices."
"You wont find that anywhere."
"We would be losing money on the vehicle."
"If you can get that price somewhere else, let me know so I can get one!"
"Nobody negotiates like this, but we can help you."
 
Every line in the book.
My favorite?
 
"Do some more research and education and let me know what you find."
 
Do you know how many hours Ive put into websites like this? This isnt the first car Ive purchased. I was insulted. So I walked. I thought for sure they would stop me...but they didnt. Bum deal. Local dealer that I really would like to support, but I may be forced to go to a competitor away from home and give them my business for a fair price.
 
What did I miss lol?
