well rick72, let's see.. you bought an 07 limited with a sticker of 36,200, and took it off the lot for an otd cost of 33,559, a difference of 2,640 dollars. I didn't buy the limited, but instead got he XLS.. The sticer on mine was 33,300 and I drove it off the lot for a final otd cost of $26,800 a difference of 6500 so outwardly it would appear that your deal was not that lucrative.. however you do have a few more bells and whistles on the limited. I would say this to anyone who wonders how well they did negotiating a car price... if you're happy with the out the door cost, then you made a good deal. JMO Enjoy your new AVY..I've had mine since Sept. and really think it may be the best car i've ever purchased.

I got mine at Conicelli toyota. It was pretty straight forward. I called the internet sale rep and gave them my offer at 31,500, they called back and agreed on my price.

Roland, you stated earlier in post#1163 that your otd price for 2007 xls was 32,241 including tax and tag and now 26,800 otd. I don't get it. How did you get 6500 difference? Is it because of your down payment or trade in? If it is the case,then you couldn't count it as a 6500 difference. The differece look big because that is money out of pocket. As for mine deal, the dealer gave me 4,700 off MSRP. I think it's a few hundred below invoice.

without dragging out the paperwork, to the best of my recollection my deal was something like this...
 
Sticker price was 33,300 or 33,200 ( not sure )
trade in for 15 y.o. olds was 1K
downpayment of 5k
add back in whatever tax, title and license is?
add in approx. 1500 for extended warranty cost
I financed 26,800..
I can only assume that in the previous post that I was not including the downpayment or trade it or what it cost me to add in the extended warranty, since the warranty wasn't part of the cars cost, but rather something I added. Hope this clarifies it. Didnt mean to mislead.

Hate to admit it, but I haven't found a dealer that will beat a 3% > invoice price. What am I doing wrong (besides poor negot!). We want the Bliz Pearl, VSC, and mats,and they seem to command too many $$$. I'll travel a bit from Middle TN to save some $$'s if anyone can point me in the right direction. Appreciate the help. I'll check some of the dealers listed here, which is a great place to start.

carhop57: Go to www.toyota.com get a list of dealers within the milege you're willing to drive---will take a bit of emailing to the internet manager--but--I'm sure you'll eventually get yoour deal. remember, there's a 3% Holdback on the MSRP--so don't feel bad for the dealer--he makes money even at invoice! Good luck!

Toyota USA & Export by gws

I am a Canadian. In September 2006 I obtained by email two quotes from Phoenix dealers. Each was a few dollars over $30K for a 2007 XLS with premium audio, VSC & Trac package, extra mats, wheel locks and fender flaps - MSRP of $33374. When I began final negotiations after going to Phoenix, it became clear that the dealers were not willing to proceed - they said their franchise agreement with Toyota prevented selling for export. I called Toyota and was told they had no such policy, and that I could get from them a needed confirmation of 'no recalls' to satisfy US Customs. Back to the dealers - same story. I checked several other dealers who confirmed that Toyota said, 'No sale' to exports. One dealer agreed to discuss the runaround with Toyota regional rep, following which I had a call from Toyota Product Admin manager. He said Toyota does not 'endorse' sale for export, but was very evasive when asked what if a dealer did it.
I did find a dealer who was prepared to sell to me, but well above the $30K mark, and insisted that I pay AZ tax in addition, although the car would not have been registered in that State.

To clarify... I made clear in September my intent to export, so believe the Toyota veto may have come later.
