Replying to: kirby2010 (Oct 03, 2007 4:28 pm) I bought a 07 4Runner SR4 V6 4x4 with side airbags, mooon roof, 17'' alloy wheels etc. in PA in the end of Sept. MSRP ~$33,600, Invoice ~$30,300, Price negotiated $29,550 + 0% APR for 48 month, Additional college graduation rebate $400, Out-of-door $31,000 + 0% APR for 48 month. I took 0% APR for 48 months because the interest of financing $30K at 5.5% APR (fair market rate) for 48 month is about $3.5K, greater than the $1.8K rebate. So my price is $7.5K below MSRP. UCSC

Replying to: ucsc (Oct 04, 2007 6:37 am) Any tips/suggestions for successful negotiations. How did it go for you? The price you paid is pretty good with those options.

Replying to: i30rls (Oct 05, 2007 5:24 am) The negotiation is very difficult. Most dealers wouldn't go $200 below invoice on the phone, but I kept on calling/emailing all dealers within 200 miles. I finally got a good deal from an out-of-state dealer, then I asked my local dealer to match it. I think any deal of $500 below invoice is a good one. UCSC |

Replying to: i30rls (Sep 26, 2007 8:17 am) I finally found a 4wd sr5 with all the options I like at $30,020 I am willing to pay. It is ~6100 off MSRP with a couple thrown-in accessories. I'll go with 0% financing (so it is actually 4100 off), what do you think about the price? Thanks, |

Replying to: welldone (Oct 18, 2007 6:23 pm) When you priced the accessories with Edmunds.com or car.com, what is the smart price or TMV price on the car? List the accessories. I was actually thinking of purchasing SR5 myself, but I figured, Sports Edition came with all the accessories and options that I wanted in SR5, so I went with Sports Edition, plus it looked meaner and sportier  Make sure you ask to see the invoice from the dealer. Also, try to price it up with carsdirect as well. $30,020 could be a good price, but you gotta have different sources to agree with you that the price is good. Also, check carbuyingtips.com. Ignore dealer's MSRP price, I am thinking they just put any number there... Hey, another thing is if you ask for too many accessories, and they don't have the car in stock on their lot with those accessories, they have a bargaining power, which means more money for you pay them. It is always better just to go to the dealership, read the sticker with the price and what options it already has and try to negotiate the price on that car, so they can sell it to you without incurring any additional costs at installing additional options. Again, Sports and Limited Editions come with most of the options Toyota offers, so you have better chance of getting a good price on those models if you really want the accessories. And to be honest, one of the accessories that i wanted 6 disk cd player, is the only thing I am not happy about in my sports edition. The sound is awful, compared to Clarion cd player that I had in my old 04 Honda Civic. I can't figure whether speakers are at fault or cd system itself. I was thinking of getting one of those after market ones, but after reading somewhere that there are many things connected to its cd player, I am afraid that they can disable some options or damage some things while installing after market cd / dvd player. So, think about your options, do you need to pay $2500 extra for that navigation system or you'd better off using $300 Garmin. Choices, choices...

Replying to: i30rls (Oct 18, 2007 7:04 pm) I have been searching all available 4Runners online. I located 5 of them at nearby dealerships. So, I contacted them all, some dragged their feet to respond. However, this vehicle is on one of the local dealer's lot. Last month, I visited the dealership 2 times, I walked away from the deal 2 times. This is an aged vehicle and has been sitting on their lot for a long time. The 4WD sales are slow here. Finally, I negotiated down to this price. The MSRP is $36200 on the sticker. The cars.com smart target price is 31063 without Leather, Vehicle Shield Package and Package B. The Edmunds.com TMV price is $31,080 again without Leather, Vehicle Shield Package and Package B. Yes, I saw the dealer invoice, the invoice price was $32493 that included the holdback of $598 and PIO (port installed options) holdback of $292. The add-on accessories are all weather floor/cargo mats and homelink and they are not included in the MSRP. The installed options on the SR5 4WD are: o 17" Alloy Wheels W/P265/65r17 Tires o Tonneau Cover o Black Roof Rack And Cross Bars o Rr Spoiler W/Center High Mounted Stop Lamp o Daytime Running Lights o Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof W/Sunshade o Vehicle Shield Package -Lusterizing Sealant -Sound Shield -Sealant Cleaner -Rental Car Assistance o Double Decker Cargo System W/Cargo Net o Leather Steering Wheel And Shift Knob: -Includes: Cruise Control And Audio Controls o Power 8-Way Driver And 4-Way Passenger o Nightvision Mirror Upgrade Includes Compass o Receiver Hitch / Wire Harness o Leather Interior Upgrade -Includes: -Front Leather Faced Seats -Liquicell Comfort Technology -Power Lumbar Support - Passenger o The Extra Mile Option Package B -Custom Tape Stripe -Cargo Net -First Aid Kit -Carpet Mat Set (5 Pc) -Fabric Guard -Wheel Locks -Carpet Floor Mats -Rear Cargo Mat -Road Hazard Tire Warranty (3 Yrs/36,000 Miles) -Roadside Assistance (3 Yrs/36,000 Miles) -The Extra Mile Service Rewards Program(5 Yrs/60,000 Miles) Yes, the sound system would be nice, but, you can not have them all. I am not a big fan of built-in navigation systems, either. So, what do you think about the price? Thanks,

Hey, welldone, looks like you did your research. The Sports edition that I purchased came with the following 17" Alloy Wheels W/P265/65r17 Tires o Tonneau Cover o Black Roof Rack And Cross Bars o Rr Spoiler W/Center High Mounted Stop Lamp o Daytime Running Lights o Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof W/Sunshade and some other extra options that are standard on the Sport... and I ended up paying $30,400+tax. However, you are listing some standard options that all of them come with and some extra ones. Some options like rental reimbursement can come with your insurance, I have it with Geico, but I think it sounds like they are throwing in one of those Toyota extra warranty coverages and that is always up to you if you want to get it, you can probably negotiate not to have it. In anyway, I think the price is reasonable since the estimated cost on edmunds and cars.com comes out more. I think you should go for it if it is not a used or a test drive car. Check Toyota website and see what standard options Toyota comes with, so they don't throw in standard options into the same pool as extra options you paying extra for. If it looks standard, then you may want to point out to them and see if you can negotiate more. But I also think that if you exhausted all the dealers in the area, then go with the best deal. Also, listen to your gut feeling. If it feels like it's a good deal, then it is a good deal.

Replying to: i30rls (Oct 20, 2007 7:59 pm) Thanks for your encouragement, I appreciate your help. I came to an end finally. I went to the dealership today and purchased that vehicle because I exhausted looking around and there was no other availability in terms of the color and interior we were looking for. So, I paid $32020, $4200 off MSRP (no dealer add-ons, it is the sticker) with 0% financing, I opted out $2000 rebate for the financing. I checked the sticker for factory installed and port installed options. The milage was low, 65 and I put 8 more miles on it while test driving. The leather interior, nightvision mirror and receiver hitch were port installed options. There was no dealer installed options, so, no DSRP (dealer suggested retail price or the rip-off sticker). We negotiated down directly from the MSRP. I think it was an average deal I got in the end. But, this forum really helped me a lot. So, for me it is a good deal, I am happy, I joined the club! Thanks, |
