Replying to: jackellis (Aug 24, 2008 7:42 pm) I negotiated over the web entirely until I found the right price/deal. Invoice from Edmunds is $25575, with the clearance cash back my final price was $24468, plus TTL and their dam doc fee ($290). I feel like it was a good deal and the time was right. There were very, very few DblCab Long beds left and most dealers didn't have any, so a bit of searching on my part and finding the ones that were left dictated the dealers to call/email. Oddly, I did find a DblCab/Longbed without the sr5#2 (totally base!), but the dealer thought they were sitting on a gold mine, so I bought the sr5 instead for about $400 more than what they wanted for the base model. I did buy the 100k mile warranty for $1400 so they may have got some of my savings back. I was a bit peeved over that because I got the hard sell and wasn't prepared for it. I thought to myself... 'why do I need to see the business manager, we've already got a deal???'. Anyways, perhaps I could have saved a few hundred on that, but I don't feel I got totally sharked. ps a few weeks before the absolute best deal I could find was $26k...

Replying to: cal4 (Aug 26, 2008 9:03 am) its fluff basically. I think by law they have to retain documentation for so many years, so its just another way to get a few bucks... |

Replying to: cal4 (Aug 26, 2008 9:03 am) best advice: just take into account how much it is in the grand spectrum of your entire deal. if you were able to negotiate a price well below invoice in which they dipped well into their holdback, then maybe letting them make $100 in the form of a doc fee would be alright. |

If you recently purchased a Tacoma, please post the trim and options, MSRP price, the sale price and the drive out price. It's incredible that there are so few posts on tacomas considering they are very popular. I've used the edmunds price paid forums to get a great deal on my wife's 2008 accord and just wish I could do the same for a new tacoma. If I buy a tacoma, I'll post my sale price to hopefully help others negociate better. |

I just totaled my 2003 Taco (171k miles), so I am i the market for a new '08 or '09. I live in NJ, and plan to buy within the next week or so. I will be looking for a 4wd, 6cyl, access cab with the SR5 package. Color is important, with Pyrite Mica being my first choice and Black being the second. Couple of Questions: 1. Would it make sense to wait until after 09/30 to see what new offers Toyota puts out for the Tacomas (currently only specials on the '09 DC and the '08 models (if any are left)) 2. Do you think there is any inventory of 08's left? I am really interested in the Pyrite Mica color, but something tells me it will be difficult to find. I would settle for Black if the Pyrite Mica is not an option, but again, not sure what the 08 selection is like in Central Jersey. 3. What should I expect to pay for an '09? Are the trucks selling so well that the dealers are not backing down? I see the TMV for my area is $26,401, while the MSRP is $26,655. $200 below MSRP is not a good deal. FYI, the invoice is listed at $24,491. Again, are these selling so well that I can really expect to pay almost MSRP? Thanks.

Replying to: skinsfan44 (Sep 24, 2008 6:38 am) Wish you were closer to me. I need a few parts off a Tacoma going to the crusher/junk yard that would never be missed.

I'm looking at an '08 Tacoma double cab, 2wd. sticker was $26749.00. It's marked down to $24002.00. Now with $2500 cash back that would be a good price at $21502.00 plus doc fees, tax and title. I'm still thinking about waiting to order an '09 double cab LWB. I like some of the new options and colors. I'm in Georgia.
