4Runner Limited Deal.. less $100? by va4runner
Jun 27, 2007 (7:37 pm)

Hello! I just returned from my buying experience in Northern Virginia for 2007 4Runner Limited 4x4 V6 w/ FE, GY, NV, RF, RL, SR, TO, S0, E5 (MSRP $42,158.00):
 
Price $37602.00
Proc Fee $369.00
3% Va Tax $1139.13
Bus Tax $75.94
License $56.50
Total Delivered Price $39242.57
- Rebate -$1500.00
Balance Due $37,742.57
 
No doubt, a GREAT price. However, when I start with the Internet quote of $35,990 + TTL and Proc Fee, I come up with $37,642.21, so the balance above seems to be ~$100 too high. If someone can help me and MS Excel sort this one out, I'll be more than happy to mod this with Dealer Info. Otherwise, I highly recommend Shadow Mica. Happy trails!

I've been offered 2 vehicles. 2007 Fully loaded 4x4 limited 4Runner. MSRP= $44,979.00. Cost/invoice= $40,409.00.
Their offer is invoice.$40,409.00.
I will offer him $500.00 less. Any better?
The other deal is 4Runner with same equip. The owner's son has been driving it and it has 6,700 miles on it.
They offered this up 1500 below invoice.
I will offer them 2000 below invoice and a full coverage extended warrantee $1,200.00 At zero cost to me.

The average 29-33k 4 runner runs about 4000-6000 off MSRP. For the higher end models I would think this would be more.
 
Run your model used 06 model year with all the options with 15k mileson it on kbb.com. If it wholesales 12k or more below MSRP (the lower end models depreciate 10k from list) you want 6k+ off.
 
Add 15-20% to the price of your vehicle's used wholesale price. This is a practical price target range for a new one.
 
$1200 should provide you with something in the 7yr/100kmi-8yr/120kmi bumper to bumper range range. It would definitely not be no cost to you as your deal would (and should) be cheaper without it.
 
Good luck

Wait for Rebates by frankil

I've been tracking the rebates Toyota offers on 4Runners the past 3 years and it usually follows this pattern. If you hold out til the end you get the best deal. Hence the best time to buy in my opinion is September-October and get the outgoing model so you get the $2500 rebate. If you wait til mid-October you'll still get the deal but colors and trims will be limited as inventory starts clearing out. Some people balk at buying at this time of year saying 'but yeah the new car I bought is now a year old'. I say so what. All cars depreciate to zero eventually so why not get a new car with the steepest discount. That's the time to buy.
 
October through March - $500 rebate on NEW models
April through May - $1000 rebate
June through August - $1500 rebate
September through December - $2500 rebate on the old model - only available after the NEW model year is in

Radio in 2007 4runner by gagirl

I am looking to buy a 2007 4runner SR5 V6 in the next month. Somewhere down the road I may want satellite radio in the car. I have asked a dealer about getting the 6 disc changer w/ satellite radio capability and he cannot find any models with that radio (its just a basic radio for an extra $200). I am now looking at paying a little more for the radio and getting the JBL radio with satellite radio capability. However, I cannot find any models in the southeast that have the JBL radio and don't have a sunroof. (I really don't want the sunroof) My question is how hard is it to install satellite radio with the basic Toyota radio? I would really like to be able to use the radio controls on the steering wheel to adjust the satellite radio. I am assuming I wouldn't be able to do this unless I had a factory radio with satellite radio capability. Can anyone help? Should I special order the car with the JBL or other radio that is ready for satellite radio?

Hi Frankil,
 
Thanks for your really useful info about 4Runner rebates. I wonder if you also tracked the special finance deals of 4Runners from Toyota. Also which region(s) do you keep track of? Different regions have different rebates. I am in PA, and now PA has worse special finance deals than NJ.

Toyota just increased rebate to $2000 by frankil

Hey everyone - just noticed Toyota increased the 2007 rebate now to $2000 for the 4Runner so if you've gotten a price quote just recently and are considering buying soon make sure you get the extra $500 off they just released.

I live in Chicago. I just go to the www.buyatoyota.com website and plug in my zip code and then see the rebates and offers for each car. The pattern is always the same I see. Once we get to September/October this year the rebate will jump to $2500. That is the time I'm buying.

Don't wait just because of an extra $500, especially if you are picky on colors and options. The machine will depreciate $280/mo 1st year if purchased correctly and probably 200/mo for a few years after that. So waiting 3-4 months is probably a more than a wash.
 
Good luck
