Replying to: lorryfan (Mar 14, 2005 8:47 pm) I did research some of the internet warranties but I was afraid since I had seen so many negative posts about various companies. I do think I got a good deal on the car though, so I feel good about that. Here's what I got: 2005 silver SR5 V6 (not 4wd) with sunroof, spoiler, 17" wheels, all mats and cargo nets, leather steering wheel/knob, daytime running lights, roofrack/crossbars, wheel locks, 100K mi. warranty on tires, window tint, and window etching. The extras I also got were free oil changes for life, and 5 tanks of gas. They also paid at least $600-$700 too much for my car (they gave me a quote on the car before they even saw it) and pulled the stereo/CD changer from my trade-in and they are letting me keep it. I paid $26,200. I think it's a good deal, and is under the edmunds price. Here are a couple of things I have learned: Definitely play the dealers off of each other. They are serious rivals with each other, and can't stand being underbid. Be careful that you give Dealer B the actual quote you got from Dealer A- they might call that dealer and confirm the quote. I was able to do most of my pricing over the phone. It worked out great. By the time I walked into a dealership, I knew exactly what I wanted to pay. I walked out when I couldn't get them to lower the price another $50. They called the next day, and told me they would give me $50 cash out of their pocket, but they couldn't lower the price. I ended up buying from another dealer that was $200 less than everyone else. For some reason, the dealers will throw in things like free gas and free oil changes, but won't keep lowering the price. I knew I was going to buy at $26,200, but got them to throw in the gas and oil changes. They would not lower the price off of $26,200 by even $20 - so why would they give me free tanks of gas? I don't know, but that's "cash" to me. The free oil changes are also "cash" in my opinion. If I did my own oil changes, I wouldn't really care. Since I don't, it's money I've saved. I also got promised more free gas leaving the dealership, when I mentioned the survey that I would be completing based on my experience. Thanks to everyone that has posted on this board, I feel like I did OK with the deal. Lynnette |

is it too soon to buy a 4runner? the one drawback listed by consumers is mediocre gas mileage. I'm wondering if the high gas prices expected by spring/summer $3/gal+ will cause toyota to offer bigger rebates etc. I understand there are large discounts to be had on the 2004's but 4me the upgrade in hp and twist on the 05 v-8 is significant and worth getting. plus the resale should be much better. i have a boat to tow and am tired of straining 6 cylinder motors. when i had a 99v8 truck it was like owning a sports car meant for towing boats! I also towed with a v6 mazda mpv van, currently with a straight 6 jeep cherokee and never again! plus the new v-8 and fly by wire throttle are supposed to really go fast when not towing. I'm looking at getting a sport with moon roof, extra air bags, spoiler, for roughly 30k after rebate but w/o tax and license. whaddaya think? Question for the roving edmonds guy. how come the extra air bags aren't listed as an option in your research? One last thing, can you guess my age!!! |

I too have heard about good deals on left-over 2004s. And, I understand that Toyota has given dealers some cash to facilitate unloading 04 stock. Does anybody have a handle on just how much someone can expect. For instance, are they going under invoice? If so, how much? I'm going to look at a couple 04 SR5s this weekend. I really was thinking about an 05 because of the transmission change, but if I could save big-time, I might consider an 04.
