I am negotiating a 4runner deal in Florida. The truck is a 4x4 Limited V8 with NAV, EVP1, RLAT and carpet mats. The truck is on the way to the port and not at the dealer. The dealer I am speaking to indicates that we might be able to get a price close to invoice. I plan to do the 0%/60 months so the$4k rebate is, I guess, off the table. That would leave him his holdback as profit. His invoice, however, includes BOTH the $745 destination fee AND the $750 Toyota Southeast distribution fee He also says that the dealer is stuck with these fees and they can't really be negotiated. So far, I have found this dealer straightforward and honest. He was straight about being able to delete "options" like the bogus ToyoGuard so long as the cars have not been allocated to the dealer, and other similar things. Please let me know if both these fees are mandatory to the dealer. If so, I will try to negotiate deeper into his holdback, but that will make closing the deal harder. I expect this has come up before, but I need some current information and I am new here (this is my first post). Any info is appreciated!

I live in Houston and I'm in a market for a new 2009 Toyota 4Runner. I've been doing research for this vehicle on edmonds.com for the last couple of months. I want a white, limited, V6, AWD model with a rear spoiler and have no interests in dealer's options. The TMV I got from edmonds.com is $35.294. But the quotes that I got from the local Toyota dealers were all higher than $37,000. One of the dealers told me that ALL NEW VEHICLES COME WITH SOME KINDS OF OPTIONS INSTALLED. Does it mean I can not purchase a base vehicle (without any options)? The other dealer told me that the vehicle I'm looking for is very rare.

Replying to: kfrohlich (Mar 31, 2009 9:43 am) go to carbuyingtips.com read everything on how to buy a car and start from there then, in the mid of the week, start going to the dealerships and looking for the car on your own, browse through their stock, if you see what you like start negotiating using the tips from carbuyingtips.com, if you don't see anything, go to another one until you see what you like. don't go to the dealerships on the weekends, those days are designed for impulse buyers emailing them and asking them the price is not the best way to do car buying. check the price on one of those online car dealerships also quoted on the carbuyingtips.com I bought myself the car I wanted using tips from that site, saved a bundle... |

| Dealer's usually do not like to do it, but you can order your 4-Runner just the way you want it based on the options available through Toyota. If dealers are hungry they will give you a reasonable deal on a factory order. I ordered my 2004 4-Runner and it took 3 months to get it. You will probably get a better deal on a vehicle off the lot, but it may cost more because of all the things on it that you do not want. | |
I've been watching the sales of used 4-runners. In the last month or so the 'Limited' inventory has been disappearing. For example, tonight I searched CarMax for a 2006 or later Limited, and only found 11, at any price, nationwide. I could be wrong, but buying a 3-year-old toyota with some high-end features and knocking the price down more than $10,000, doesn't it sound attractive?

Hi, just starting to consider a 4runner for practicality (future family) over a G37. On the Toyota website it lists an Urban Runner which sounds nice. Are these available at the dealerships or do you have to order? Would be nice to have a vehicle that is very reliable and will last for years. |
