#1335 of 1738 Did I get a good deal? '06 4Runner Limited V8 4x4 by phiberop Mar 26, 2006 (10:02 am)
I delt with Sandy Springs Toyota in Atlanta, GA.   The sales manager promised me $500 below invoice price as well as the $2000 rebate that is going on in March '06. He also stated that I wouldn't have to pay for any options I did not want and that he could get the vehicle from anywhere if he had to. I pondered over it for a day and got onto Edmunds to print out all my options and the invoice price.   When I get back to the dealership the next day the sales manager couldn't locate a 4Runner that exactly matched what I wanted, and the closest match was in Winston-Salem, NC. I wasn't able to get the side air bags and the rear air suspension and shock upgrade that I wanted. So, he prints off a "factory invoice price sheet". And the invoice price is different from Edmunds!   My Edmunds.com invoice price for the vehicle: $36,100 Their Toyota invoice price sheet: $37,300   He proceeds to tell me that Edmunds doesn't match up to their actual invoice price most of the time. So here's where I ended up:   2006 4Runner Limited V8 4x4 Driftwood Pearl Exterior, Taupe interior Options: Moonroof JBL Synthesis stereo Daytime running lights Toyo Plus Protection Group (I didn't want this) MSRP: $41,362.35 Their quoted invoice price: $37,300 Edmunds.com invoice price: $36,100   So, by his deal I was able to get the car for $500 below invoice, which came out to $36,800 from his invoice price.   Here is my buyers order from there: Subtotal: $36,800 Service fee: $599.50 Total taxable: $37,399.50 Tax (7%): $2,617.97 TTL: $38 Warranty rights: $3 Total Cash Price: $40,058.47 Rebate: -$2000 Cash due on delivery: $38,058.47   So is this a good deal (and the one I thought I was getting) or did I just get scammed by a bait and switch? Is he correct by saying that the real factory invoice is different from what Edmunds tells you?

Replying to: phiberop (Mar 26, 2006 10:02 am) Toyota dealers in the South and Southeast seem to get their stuff through either Gulf States Toyota or Southeast Toyota - both of these distributors put on lots of trash fees for advertising, inventory tax, administration, etc. I've found it's difficult to get a "real" price.   For what it's worth, I've gone through the exercise at some of the Toyota dealer websites in Central Texas of picking a vehicle and checking what the price is for, say, an offer of 1% or 10% over invoice, and then working backward to see what they claim the invoice is. It usually works out to $1100-$1200 above what you get from Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book, or NADA.   Whether it's due to creative accounting or distributor extra profit, as far as I can tell ALL the local dealers are doing it, to pretty much the same degree.

Replying to: pixzi1374 (Mar 23, 2006 3:41 pm) I believe the 4WD SR5 is normally around 5,000 more than the 2WD. The hitch close to 2,000, spoiler close to 1,000, the moonroof not sure about.   It looks like a good deal to me for a 4WD with those options. I'm no expert and would like to hear others opinion.
#1338 of 1738 New '06 4Runner Sport 4X4 by bobgordon Mar 27, 2006 (5:26 am)
Over the weekend, I went to our local Toyota dealer to look at the FJ Cruiser and well, I came home with a new 4Runner Sport 4X4. Here's how it played out; Traded in my '04 Highlander Limited with 16K miles. The options on the 4Runner are; Premium AM/FM 6-disc in dash CD changer w/MP3/WMA Playback capability. Auto dimming rear view mirror w/compass. Double decker cargo system. 115V AC power point. Rear spoiler w/center mount stop light. Power tilt/slide moonroof w/sunshade. Trailer hitch w/ball mount wired in trailer socket. Carpet floor/cargo mats.   Tax, title, license, blah, blah, blah....I had to come up with $7,500.
#1339 of 1738 Is this a good deal? by getthatpot Mar 27, 2006 (6:01 pm)
06 sport 4x4 v8 for 35,100 out the door. just standard options also, the bad thing is I have to wait 4 weeks cause all the dealers in the area said sports v8 was hard to come by, so I was forced to make a deal and put down a $500 deposite before they can get the truck. The only thing I know about the car is the color. Should I be worried?
#1340 of 1738 '06 4WD Limited V6 by yujin Mar 27, 2006 (8:19 pm)
is this a good deal or should I ask for more discount? '06 Limited 4WD V6 4Runner sunroof JBL stereo Running Lights Selling Price = 31975 With all the fees = 34905   with the driveout price, I was thinking of 34000 only. $905 discount is just right or too much to ask for?

Replying to: phiberop (Mar 26, 2006 10:02 am) I spent a lot of time last year trying to reconcile the differences between Edmunds and dealer invoice. Edmunds base cost includes 2% of base MSRP as holdback. The dealer invoice includes this base holdback plus about 10% holdback on port installed options (PIO),approximately $690 advertising fee and $300 inventory fee. It is hard to negotiate them out of the advertising and inventory fees even though they are not a real cost of the vehicle. The holdback fees and inventory fee are rebated to the dealer after they sell the vehicle. Your service fee of $599 seems unreasonable for processing the paperwork.
