Re: Just bought a Tocoma Prerunner Access Cab [agc409] by ocautoseeker

agc409,
 
Don't feel badly - it sounds like the dealer was "fairly" straight with you. 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!

ocautoseeker,
 
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.

I am looking at a 2009 Double Cab 4x4 w/ Sport TRD & Towing Package, Mats.
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,

I don't know about 2009 prices.
 
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

sounds like a good deal. Whatever you do ,do not go to kings toyota in ohio.We had terrible experience there and costed us a lot of money. The dealer lied his foot off to us. Part our fault for not catching the trickery he pulled on us.We let are gaurd down and tried to trust this person and he took full advantage of this.Called the manager and wasnt willing to help.Why should he done got are signature.Please any one going to kings toyota, be very very cautionshed. They will tell you one thing and sneak in something else.Read papers 10 times before signing if you have to,dont let them pressure you or take advantage of you cause your disabled.Will go into more detail later to upset to keep going.Good luck

About to buy 2008 2WD/4cyl/5spd by manofteflon
Jul 29, 2008 (5:02 pm)

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.

I have no Idea of the taxes in your state but unless they are 8-10% that doesn't seem like a great deal.
 
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.
 
Good luck

The MSRP on this is: $22,402.00

Two things:
 
1) It's an '09 and not yet "distressed" inventory.
 
2) It's probably a 4-cyl and because of fuel prices, they are selling very well.
 
In SoCal where there are like 60 dealers who all compete, there aren't even any rebates on the remaining '08 4-cyl! Probably because they're all gone. Pop for a V6 and bam! $1500 rebate.
 
There's not a large spread between invoice and msrp on the base ac's.
 
I would shoot for invoice - $500 over on that particular vehicle.
 
Just my opinion.
