| Last week got an '09 Tacoma Access Cab 4x2, 4-cylinder, auto transmission, and SR5 package #2. Got for $20k including destination fee in Northern Virginia. Looked for 4-cylinder '08 but from my research, difference for '09 was only $500. Also '09 has side airbags and traction control as standard, and '09 SR5 #2 option includes rear camera (and maybe some other things that weren't as important to me). Wanted the 4-cylinder for gas mileage and they weren't easy to find in an '08 anymore. Really wanted 5 speed manual but couldn't find one with SR5 #2 option. | |

He was correct about not receiving the holdback - that will go to the original dealership. The advertsisng fee 'aka' TDA is a legit fee that Toyota dealer's pay directly to their distributors. This charge is on the factory invoice and thus why the price you see on edmunds differs by a few hundred bucks. That truck probably could have been had for invoice or $100 over, but you certainly didn't get taken advantage of at $400 over. Plus, $1150 is a pretty generous rebate on a Tacoma - they're usually not much more than $500-$750. You did fine - now enjoy your truck!

Replying to: ocautoseeker (Jul 25, 2008 1:56 am) Thanks for the vote of confidence. After careful consideration, the fact that they went up I-10 a good distance to another dealer to snag this specific truck, and had to cross state lines another 70 miles to a Mazda dealer in MS to get the best Bid to Buy on my trade (an 06 Mazda 3) I couldn't be happier. I have never enjoyed a vehicle as much as this Tocoma. I love everything about it. The ride is fantastic, it's very comfortable, and there is almost no road noise whatsoever. It's actually quiter than my wifes fancy dancy Chrysler 300M. The composite bed the Tocoma has is fantastic; all models should emulate. I couldn't be happier with this truck.

Replying to: agc409 (Jul 25, 2008 3:22 am) MSRP is $30,500 Invoice is 28,050. I have gotten a quote at Invoice - is that good or should I be able to better - this is on a 2009. Same Dealer has a 2008 similar equipment except the 08 to 09 differences like Side Airbags, VSC etc. I can buy that for $2,400 less (Includes the current $1750 rebate). They don't seem to want to discount further - I am inclined to go w/ the 2009 - seems like a year difference exceeds the price difference down the road when it comes time to sell. Any Comments?? Is Invoice decent for a 2009?? Thank You,

Replying to: linusboy (Jul 25, 2008 5:27 pm) I have been looking for a 2008, similar to yours, in Indiana, Double Cab 4x4, Long bed, w/ Sport TRD & Towing Package. MSRP $31,443 Invoice $27,561 My best price so far $26,705 I think I may be able to get about $25,900 or so but not there yet. I think that $2,500 depreciation from 2009 to 2008 sounds about right. The side airbag would be the only reason for me to consider a 2009. Good Luck

Thought I'd run this by you guys as it's my first brand new purchase. I'm getting a completely basic Tacoma, with the only option being air conditioning. Their listed invoice price is $15174, which includes the air conditioning package, silly floormats/spare lock and destination/TDA/holdback/holding fees. I was told I could get this for $15000 even, so with other random fees (dock fee, electronic vehicle registration) and tax/tags I'm at $16720. Then they will apply $1000 cash back, and a $400 recent college graduate rebate making the final out the door price $15320. Sound like a good deal?

Replying to: manofteflon (Jul 29, 2008 5:02 pm) The prices on trucks on in the dumper. Look up a used 07 version of your tacoma on kbb.com with avg miles. Add about 20% to the trade in price for the price (+ taxes and tags extra) for a new 08 one. This target price may be on the high side, but toyota dealers are good at working this truck for $$$ People are buying 27000 nissan crew cab 4wd se's auto loaded for 20000 or less (+ttl). A SE nissan king cab v6 2wd auto with hitch, abs, 2 wheel limited slip may set you back 16500+- with tax/ttl additional and is 2x the truck you are looking at with alloys, best in class towing, luxury interior (compared to example) etc and comparable mpg. With the deals out there and comparable full size v8 silverado "strippers" going for 12000 or less, The concept of paying this for a little steel wheeled vinyl floored 4cyl manual reg cab tacoma doesn't seem very appealing.
