First time seriously looking at Toyotas. I knew their pricing structure was different from other mfgrs, but really saw the downside. The distributor system (middleman) drives how they outfit the cars and add their dealer-packs at the port or distributor lot. You get stuck with options you don't need which are probably split between the distributor and dealer. I've never paid for a dealer pack before anywhere, but there wasn't much room there. e.g. $349 for $15 worth of "sealer" and material. Too little room to negotiate. Went across the highway and found a Nissan built the way I wanted for the listed Edmunds invoice. (dealers always have consumer invoices they'll show you, but usually is more closely related to the TMV prices) Dealers make plenty of money with holdback and incentives. I'm not leaving anymore on the table than that. |

What you do is call one dealer's internet/fleet department and tell them the other dealer (give a competitor's name) is offering to sell you the car for this much and would they be willing to match it. The end of the month and the end of the quarter is the best time to deal because they want to make their quotas. I lucked out by going to Power Direct's website at the end of the month and quarter. They had a couple of the car's internet price listed as $20,599. They did not have the color I was looking for. I printed it out and took it to Longo Toyota. They weren't happy but they matched the price and I gave them a deposit...but they had our second choice in color. The next day I went to Elmore Toyota, found the car with the color we wanted and even though they were not happy about the price they also matched it after getting the general managers ok. Longo easily refunded my deposit. They both said the price was $1,500 under invoice. I think on top of them matching someone elses price they were also willing to do it because I wanted the alarm turned on and they make a little money off of that too. I paid $550 for the alarm and the out the door price (taxe, etc. incl) was $23083. I think the dealers got upset about Power Direct's online pricing being published so low and possibly reported it to Toyota because I haven't seen this pricing since. Power Direct is currently advertising the pricing around Southbay Toyota's pricing. Best of luck to you. |

So he wasn't willing to match, let alone beat that price. Carson has the exact colors I want, so I'm gonna hit them up tomorrow and take a look see. Thanks again for the info.
