I am thinking of buying a new 2008 4runner next week. Can I get some input from the folks here who got a 4 runner recently? like the price paid? how much off the invoice? I am in texas. Thanks in advance!

I am looking at getting to Toyota this month. Pricing at the first dealership was: 30217 Invoice +600 Mark-up 30817 Total -2500 Rebate (September) Price 27300 + TTD The dealer said that there may be some wiggle room and I don't have to buy a car now. I have seen some posts that are down in the 24,500 range. So I have 2 questions. 1. Where do I find the MSRP or calculate the invoice-incentive price? 2. What should I offer?

Replying to: bamafan7727 (Sep 23, 2008 7:43 pm) If you conservatively figure their cost as invoice minus hold back (let's say $500) minus any mfr to dealer incentives (currently $1000 marketing support) then they break even at about $1500 under invoice. Of course that assumes they are getting the holdback and not using the marketing support. Now, maybe they would be willing to lose some money to clear some inventory - maybe not. An earlier post said he got $1000 under invoice and that seems real good. Also don't forget those additional fees (processing fees, transportation, etc). That is really just profit for the dealer. If they insist on charging you those, your offer should be that much lower. So the answer is: "Who knows" I would guess $3500 under is way too low, but in this market maybe not. There just isn't enough data points in this thread to get a good idea on an exact number. But you have given us one more. Have you tried e-mailing dealers outlining the exact truck you want and stating if you get me that truck I will buy today for $XXXXX? I think I would try that at $1500 or $2000 under and see how it goes. Please post your results - this thread is sorely lacking hard numbers. |

Here what you need to consider before purchasing 4Runner. It starts to rust under the hood in the first 4 months, Toyota says it is rusting from the outside in, so they don't fix it or cover it under warranty. Audio system starts to go crazy during hot humid days. CD player starts to spit out CDs in the cd changer, words on the stereo are all scrambled And of course, gas milege is not the best... If you don't believe me, google it and you will see what other problems 4runners have. All my statements are based on the 2007 4runner Sport (purchased in Sept 07 as new). The car started having above issues in Dec 07 (rust) and July 08 (audio).

CD player starts to spit out CDs in the cd changer, words on the stereo are all scrambled" No radio/CD problems on my 4Runner. "And of course, gas milege is not the best... " Agreed. Of course, it is just about what you would expect from a heavy, body-on-frame, SUV. I've had put 73,000 miles on my 4Runner since new. In that time, I've had the following replaced: - brake disks and pads - AC condensor clutch solenoid - rear hatch motor and strike plate Other than that, I've just done standard maintenance. Mine has been very, very reliable. |
