I purchased my 2005 SR5 V-6 4x4  Camelback Toyota today. It included 3rd row, side airbacks, roof rack, and spoiler (option B) 27,100 after rebates. They also threw in 4 percent financing, not a bad deal. Thanks to everyone for their help. |

Replying to: mntim (Feb 10, 2005 2:56 pm) I'm also in MN considering a 4Runner. Did you shop around between the dealerships? Did you have to negotiate hard to get that price or were they dealing openly? Also, was it a truck on the lot or an order? Thanks.

Replying to: carguy1234 (Feb 10, 2005 3:33 pm) Yes, the truck was on the lot. I must say I'm not crazy about the appearance of the rear spoiler, but anything on the lot in this area will have it (for some reason, Toyota thinks everyone in the Chicago region needs a spoiler. Argh...). Good luck! Please post your results when you swing a deal.

A Fleet Dealer told me today that if I want a 4Runner off the boat or from the port, I would have to pay an extra $240, because Toyota increased the MSRP by $300 for any 4runner that is not at a dealer's lot by Feb 7th. Is this True? |

After a couple of hours at the dealership (test drive, trade-in appraisal, "I need to talk to the manager" time), I got a quote of 24,900 (options include sunroof, spoiler, roof rack). Not a fan of the spoiler (to say the least) but in my area, apparently a spoiler is what the customers want. MSRP is 29,700. Invoice is approx. 26,400. After the 1,000 rebate, price is 25,400. It looks like the offer is 500 under "invoice". Seemed kind of low considering that it was his first offer. Here is the kicker: they then appraised my Tacoma (I insisted on getting a quote before getting my truck appraised) for about 2,500 less than the trade in value on both KBB and Edmunds (within 100 of each other). The truck was washed, cleaned, buffed (sparkles like a diamond) before going to the dealer. Cosmetically and mechanically, in excellent shape . . . just passed inspection (in Feb.) and replaced front brake pads. I then pointed out that the configuration they used to appraise the truck was incorrect (left out several options). Anyway, an hour later the trade in value was "raised" to 1000 below the value on Kbb and Edmunds. I walked (was ready to seal the deal just couldn't force myself to accept the trade in price). What do you think? BTW: In addition to the quoted price, paperwork is approx. 150, and of course taxes (one of those sure things in life). Thanks for any advice.

This still might be a good deal. IMHO, the net sources often overestimate trade in value. And they may have low-balled the new car price because they figured they'd get you on the trade in. I'd be concerned about the total cost. If the new car was $1K more and they had given you book on the trade would you have closed the deal? I know sources like Consumer Reports say that you should first negotiate the new car, then introduce the trade, but unless you're really willing to buy the new car outright and sell the trade yourself, I consider this bad advice. Too often the dealer will feel like they have you over a barrel by getting your committment on the new car so they can low-ball the trade. Further, my experience is that trade-in appraisals vary much MUCH more than the deal that they'll give you on the new car price. So you're really more concerned about the +/- $2K variance in trade value than you are with the +/- $500 variance in what the dealer will do on the new car. If you don't want to sell your car yourself, I think it is a better idea just to do the entire negotiation in one step - negotiate on the difference between new car and trade + TTL. This simplifies things and you get out of the problem you just got into. - Mark |
