Does anyone have some advice to help me fix a deal that I messed up. I feel I did fine on getting a price I wanted for the car. But I realized today after buying yesterday, they worked me over in financing!  Stupid me let them talk me into lowering my APR by almost 3% by adding on GAP insurance and a maintenance warranty that cover wear and tear as well as getting Lo Jack and Theft Guard. I still can't believe I fell for it. For the Maintenance warranty and GAP insurance I have a time period that I can cancel those out. So I'm off to the dealership on Monday to get those cancelled!!!! I don't know about the Lo Jack or Theft Guard. Lo Jack hasn't even been installed on my 4 Runner yet. My question is if I do cancel those out will I still be able to keep my lower percentage rate? I know I got screwed it doesn't make sense to lower my percentage rate by charging me more for the other added stuff. So I should be able to fight that one, right?? I'm so embarrased by this because I feel I did good with my price negotiation and left it so they were still making profit. But I allowed them to pull one over on me in financing. COMPLETELY EMBARRASSED and wanting any advice!!!!

Replying to: kdallas (Nov 21, 2004 9:37 am) Since this question is more about financing in general than it is about the price of the 4Runner, you might want to re-post your question here: Questions About Financing New Vehicles where some of our members who have expertise in this area can offer you advice. |

| After months of reading and research, I've confirmed in my mind that a 4runner is the only vehicle I want. It just seemed goofy, however, to buy one without ever having driven one so I headed on over to a dealership close by and took a test drive. The salesman was super nice and afterwards let me off the lot without any attempt to sell me the car. Since the dealership is very close to my home, I'm considering calling him and letting him know up front that I'll be negotiating a good price based on internet information and see if he wants to deal with me or not, but that's another story. My main question however is this: If I were to go through an internet buying cycle and ended up with the internet contact at the same dealership, could my having taken a test drive with a salesman there create any problem? | |

Replying to: ccman (Nov 27, 2004 10:09 pm) Consumer reports also does not recommend extended warranties. When I bought a Camery for my mother we were offered the extended warranty. If I remember right if you have no claims after 7 years then they refund the money (or maybe 1/2 of it I can't remember but I think it was 100 % of the money). I still said I did not need it. |

If you want the cheapest price and live on the East Coast go to www.darcars.com They are selling all 4runners generally around $2000 below dealer invoice. |

After months, ok years of planning I'm finally ready to retire my 1996 4runner and buy new. At first I wanted a used truck to save a few dollars but I'm finding for a couple thousand more I can have something brand new. I need some serious advice since I plan to buy very soon. Here is what I'm looking at: 2004 4Runner Sport Edition 4WD Natural White Sunroof Rear Spoiler Preferred Accessory Package 6 disc strereo system I located one in Western PA and called the dealer The MSRP is 33,968 The Inivoice is 30,527 He said he would sell for $400.00 over invoice Plus there is a $900 incentive he will include Total I would pay is 30,027. I have read many who pay much less than invoice. Does this sould like a good deal or shoudl I offer less? Thanks for all the excellent advice I have read and Ihope someone will share their knowledge and help me get a fair deal

Thanks for the reply slarry. The model I'm looking at is the V6. I wanted the 2004 because I was hoping to save a few dollars. The only other reason is I don't like the rear spoiler on the 2005. I know it's a stupid reason. There is also a dealer that has a 2004 with about the same specs for 27,999 with 8,000 miles on it. The truck is Certified and it didn't seem like he was willing to deal over the phone. With the posts I have read people are buying for a couple hundred over invoice on the 2005. Now I'm wondering is there even a reason to look for a 2004 if dealers aren't willing to get rid of them cheap.
