I am looking at a 2008 Tacoma access cab 4X2 with the TRD package with auto transmission. The MSRP for the truck is $26,108. They are telling me that they are selling me the truck for $100.00 over invoice at $23,820. With the current $1,500 rebate the total price for the truck is $22,320 before tax and tags. I like to get feedback to see if this is a decent price. I am looking at the Nissan Frontier 4X2 with the NISMO package with auto and the audio package. They are only coming $900.00 of the price but they have a $2,500 rebate. The MSRP for the Nissan is $25,900. Trying to decided which way to go. Any help would be appreciated.

Replying to: grunt (Jun 15, 2008 6:38 pm) You could probably get a Frontier Crew cab 4 dr 4wd auto with hitch and power package (bed extender, pwr, alloys etc) Msrp 27500 for 22500 or less. This may even be for the long bed also. Nismo like it (if you could find it) would be about 24000 or perhaps less. With a well equipped Honda Ridgeline AWD RTX available for 22000 or less (MSRP 29000) all day long and possibly the RTS(msrp 31500) for 23500 I would definitely research that before any 2wd options. It is a helluva truck and in addition to being able to haul drywall and such between the wells and being a roomier truck has a turning circle less than the Frontier and possibly Tacoma. Lockable trunk in bed is a unique touch. Tailgate flips down as well as opens sideways like station wagon and is still rated a higher tailgate load than the others. Gas mileage is probably the same as competition. All V6's Good luck --jjf I am looking at a 2008 Tacoma access cab 4X2 with the TRD package with auto transmission. The MSRP for the truck is $26,108.

Replying to: grunt (Jun 15, 2008 6:38 pm) Rule of thumb - any vehicle that has manufacturer incentives (i.e. rebates) = at or very near invoice on the selling price. There's a rebate for a reason. Vehicles that are in high demand (not the case here) will have no such offers. Fwiw... I like the Tacoma over the Nissan, but do a side-by-side comparison before you make up your mind. |

Every time I walk out of a dealership I feel like I've paid too much, although I've always done my research on Edmunds and KBB and always get very close to my target price. Today, after buying the Tocoma, I feel worse than I've ever felt and I'm not sure why. Got the Indigo Ink Pearl Tocoma, Access cab with SR5 and floor mat option. They had to go to another dealership so claimed they didn't get the holdback of $416 on the truck. Edmunds invoice was $719 lower because in the dealer cost was included a T.M.F. (Toyota Marketing Fee). Sticker on the truck was $23989 and closed on it at $21682 after $1150 cash back. He said he was selling it at employee pricing at $22832 or $400 over invoice minus, of course the $1150 cash back. Using Edmunds I figured my high offer at $20984; a difference of $698 or very near the T.M.F. fee they claim to have to pay. I don't know why, but I feel almost dirty after this deal. I purchase a new vehicle about every 2-3 years and have never felt this bad. Don't know why.

Replying to: agc409 (Jul 12, 2008 9:04 pm) Dealers are pretty good at working the Tacoma crowd for money though, numerous stories of 200000 miles etc out there. You've got a fairly mediocre deal there, but you could have done much worse. If the truck was of a particular color and type and you are picky, if you had to pay up you had to pay up.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 13, 2008 5:43 am) They had a black tocoma on their lot they were offering a better deal on, but again, that truck was on their lot. Can't do black vehicles; way too hard to keep clean. I guess you're right, being picky cost me a few bucks. Thanks for helping me justify : ) |

Here in western PA, I paid $22,750 ($23,750 minus $1,000 rebate) + tax for '08 Access Cab 4x4 V6 Auto base model. Only options were sliding rear window and mats/door sills. MSRP was $25,139. Dealer (close to my home) had to locate due to color (silver), and I could have had a white one in stock at another nearby dealer for for $210 less. (Silver and white seem to be what's left of '08's with rebate in my area). I probably could have trolled the internet for a dozen quotes and saved a few hundred more, but time is money-- and the service manager at Baierl Toyota has been helpful with the frame issue on my '01. Inspection is tomorrow. Amazingly, two other nearby dealerships that provided initial quotes never followed-up. And I clearly indicated I was ready to buy (cash) within 24 hours. |
