#859 of 1781 Re: So, am I out of luck if I want side airbags? [tommyg12] by sr34 Feb 02, 2005 (4:49 pm)
Replying to: tommyg12 (Dec 17, 2004 7:12 am) tommyg12,   I am looking at an 05 4Runner Sport V6 4X4. I was advised that Toyota is not currently building with the side air bags. The dealer searched the Northeast and NY region to try and find one that may have it
#860 of 1781 Holdback calculation by 7art Feb 02, 2005 (8:41 pm)
I have seen several posts where people gave all the figures for invoice, options, etc, plus the holdback.   The dealer invoice adds all these numbers, including the holdback to get the dealer invoice. I believe this is wrong - the holdback should be subtracted from the Toyota invoice, not added, since this is a credit to the dealer, not a cost. In my understanding, the dealers who do this are padding their invoice by double dipping the holdback.   Do I misunderstand holdbacks, or is this practice widespread, misrepresenting the true dealer cost of a vehicle?   Art Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Feb 03, 2005 6:08 am) rjordan (Feb 04, 2005 8:13 am)

#862 of 1781 Phoenix Area Dealers by woof woof Feb 03, 2005 (9:06 pm)
Replying to: alibajalajaula (Jan 29, 2005 9:42 pm) I'm still not having any luck with Phoenix area dealers. It seems they will sell the truck at invoice if they keep the rebate. I want it invoice with the rebate is this too much to ask? Also who is buying the 2 wheel drive, every dealership I go to they are loaded with 2's, short on 4's.   Kelly

#864 of 1781 Re: New 4runner [bosephus12] by rischard Feb 04, 2005 (7:41 am)
Replying to: bosephus12 (Jan 27, 2005 5:38 am) Sorry for the delay in answering. The bottom line is that I will get whatever rebate is in effect at the time I take delivery of my new 4Runner. If the rebate goes up- I get it. If it goes down or goes away- I get that as well. Thats one of the cons of special ordering a car rather than buying one on the lot. But I wanted navigation in mine and I wanted the color that I wanted so special ordering was my only option if I wanted the vehicle configured a certain way.

Replying to: 7art (Feb 02, 2005 8:41 pm) Art,     Click on this link or type it in on your browser and it will lead you to an article explaining "Holdback". http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incentives/holdback/index.html It contains 3 pages of info. The bottom line on holdbacks is if you see it on the invoice, make sure it is subtracted from the cost of vehicle to you and not added on. Holdback is a deal between dealer and factory and the buyer has no responsibility for it. Print it and hold for referance. Holdback money usually last for 3 months. This helps the dealers pay for the financing cost while the vehicle sits on the lot. The longer it sits, the less holdback money the dealer gets from the factory until theres nothing left. Depending on what vehicle is purchased, holdback money can amount to $600.00 and above; see the article. So if the holdback time has run out, the dealer should not be charging you for stocking his lots with unsold cars. That's his problem and the factory. Bob.
#866 of 1781 Re: 2005 V8 Sport - Good deal (so far) [sr34] by tripowertom Feb 04, 2005 (5:40 pm)
Replying to: sr34 (Jan 30, 2005 5:52 pm) Hey Sr34,   Did pull the trigger on the '05 sport,6cyl,4wd (#8666) with SR,CM,RL,RF,CF...out the door for $27,700 (including all rebates).   Dealer seemed really eager to put the deal together.....I was in the chair only about 15 minutes after test drive and vehicle inspection.   In hind-sight I think I could have squeezed him a little more...dealer is in norwood. 2nd largest toyota dealer in the US (world)...salesman claimed they average 700+ toyotas a month.

Replying to: tripowertom (Feb 04, 2005 5:40 pm) I'm assuming you mean Boch Toyota in Norwood? I bought an SR5 with 3rd row and roof rack for $27,000. I bought mine last Sunday before the $1250 rebate kicked in (I got the $1,000 rebate). Seems pretty standard for Boch to let these go for right around invoice.

#868 of 1781 Vallan1--Which dealership by ronstoy Feb 05, 2005 (11:11 pm)
Hi Vallan1,   Which dealership did you end up getting the 4Runner from? Ensign or the other SLC Dealer. I might be looking, but I am closer to Brent Brown or Karl Malone.
