An 07 toyota access cab like you describe with power accessories and a few options wholesales used with average miles for about $17000. For a new 08 your target would be about 21000. A Nissan frontier extended cab is easily doable for less than this.
 
A comparable 08 dodge dakota club cab with options is probably $17000-18000 or so with a lifetime powertrain warranty.
 
The 20mpg trucks have sold with such heavy hidden and advertised incentives for the last few years above or below invoice doesn't mean much anymore. The economy is flat and gas is headed for $4.00 so even in 4wd heavy mountains tell our dealer to keep it real.
 
Good Luck

live in Colorado and am thinking about purchasing a 2008 4x4 Tacoma access cab. This truck doesnt have to have all the bells and whistles Im just looking to get a reliable vehicle and not get raped by the dealership in the process.
  
I went to a dealership today and they wanted to sell me one for $23,900.00. Im glad I didnt bite, it looks like I would have paid about $1700.00 to much. I want to go into the dealership with a realistic number and I was wondering what how much over invoice some of the members of this forum paid for their Tacoma's?
  
Thanks

Bought one in Gwinnett GA. Black Tow package Running boards, SR # 2 package. Price was 24500 OTD. I was so focused on the price of the truck the "snuck" in a 700$ doc fee and more BS charges. I asked about that..of course they told me it was standard. I should of got up and walked out.
 
Im so up set at that, my wife says to let it go. Well I have to now

I just received two offers from two different dealerships their both pretty much the same.
 
These quotes are for a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 access cab V6 manual transmission. Ones for a basic truck the others for one with the TRD off road package.
 
Here's the email from one of them...
 
Dan,
I can sell the base red model for $21,421 after rebate, plus tax and dealer handling.
The off-road red for $25,279 after rebate, plus tax and 399 dealer handling.
thanks again.......Larry
 
What I'd like to do is get them to drop that $399.00 dealer handling fee but I don't know if thats going to be possible.

Look up the wholesale value of your vehicle used 07 with 14000 (avg) miles on it on nada.com and kbb.com. Add about 20 percent or so to that price for a target on a new 08. Hit 10 dealers via email last week of the month for bids and get as close to that target as possible or better.

#887 of 1136 Double Cab 4x4 Price?? by quickreply

Has anyone purchased a Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 recently? I'm in the market and would like to see some deal numbers. I requested quotes from several dealerships in the Portland area and most of my quotes were for $1200 to $1500 OVER invoice (before the $500 factory incentive).
 
I see Toyota's numbers are down, like many other OEMs, but my price quotes just don't reflect it. I expected to be under invoice WITH the $500 incentive, but it doesn't look like it.
 
Thanks.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good Portland dealer. Someone who doesn't mess around and just quotes the bottom dollar price? I know Wilsonville Toyota is around, but their prices are pretty high relative to invoice.
 
What have you been picking up your Tacomas for recently??
 
Thanks.

Read my posts from the last few months in this forum. Look up the price used of your Tacoma on kbb.com and nada.com for a used 07 vehicle, with 14000 miles on it. Add about 20% to the used wholesale 07 price for your max or near max price on a new 08 one with dest and dealer fees. Don't be surprised if a 30000msrp new 08 wholesales used for about 20000 in its 07 version. In that case you want about 6000-7000 off the new one.
 
A 27000 msrp nissan crew cab se 4wd with full pwr, auto and hitch will probably be around 21000-22000 or even less. The 08 29000 msrp Honda Ridgeline RTX well equipped goes for 21xxx all day long. The dodge ram 39000 1500 full size goes for 13000 off msrp for a mediocre deal.
 
Good luck

#890 of 1136 Recent Purchase by kingnh

Purchased a new 08 Tacoma Double Cab 4X4 Long Bed 2.5 weeks ago:
SR5
Tow Package
Limited Slip
Alloy Wheels
6 CD Changer
Spare Tire Lock
Floor Mats
 
$27000 OTD, MSRP was 30,200 or so
 
Took the 0% financing instead of rebate. No money down, financed 27k even and drove home in my new toyota. That is all fees, paperwork, this, that, those, and taxes (no taxes in my state). Still haven't shelled out a penny out of my pocket - just received 1st bill which is not due until June. Seemed like a good price to me.... ????
 
According to the #s the dealerships (contacted 18 of them and those that gave #s were the same) that was basically a few bucks over "invoice" minus holdback ($522). Edmunds and CP #'s had base invoice as more than what the dealers' said, but dealers had advertising fee, gas, and financial reserve added in to their "cost". So who knows what the heck invoice or cost really was. In the end, i dont think I can complain about that price. Most of the dealers I contacted told me politely to go to he## and take the 27k and didnt believe I had an offer for that much. But I did get the 2 closest to me to match eachother so I bought local.
 
It did have 98 miles when I got it - they had to locate it and drive it from another state.
 
Went back last week and added soft Tonneau, running boards (the tube step ones), cargo divider (although it doesnt fit with the tonneau !#$ they never told me that), and a trailer hitch/ball for another $950ish. I messed that up, should have included them in the purchase and I could have financed them at 0% as well (and maybe gotten a better deal on them).
 
Oh, I also got 2 free oil changes thrown in as well. Buggers wouldn't give me a hat though! 2 plastic coffee mugs, but no free hat. Not gonna use the mugs, but I would have worn the hat - oh well, there goes their free advertising. (no stupid dealer add sticker on the back of the truck either btw)

If your 0% financing is for 5 or 6 years you got a pretty darn good deal, around 24000 or less for the truck.
 
Yes the dealers truly hate you soliciting competitive bids from 10-20 dealers and putting them against one another (especially last week of the month). Of course all other offers are "insane". They want you to come into the dealership blind, (preferably with two upset toddlers) and give you their precious vehicle for 27500, financed at 6.0% for 7 years. Which is of course close to "cost". (They have to keep the lights on somehow, don't they?) And you may have got the hat.
 
Good luck
