Replying to: vliu13 (Jan 31, 2009 2:15 pm) The ride was not much louder than my wifes MAZDA but I had the radio on and test drove it on the Palisade Parkway which is fairly smooth. On the subject of price . I had the salesman at Queensboro print out the invoices of the cars at Fitzmall at 2 different locations and I have found out that the Nov delivery cars from Japan have base priced invoice of $28710 and a dealer cost of $24,473 just as Edmunds says. Now the newer cars manufactured later and at least the Jan manufacture/shipping date are base car delear cost $24,751 which is $278 more than the older models. Also the older models (Nov etc) have a TDA OF either $453 or $495 and as high as $520 on the latest shipping date . So it appears the RI dealer was telling the truth when he said there is a raise in prices . That explains why Fitz has 2 exact same cars at 2 locations : one for $28,116 and the other for $28,416. Also in the invoice, can be the price of gas which varies for $7 to $15 But the RETAIL BASE MODEL 4WD V6 LIMITED remains at $27,810 while the dealer cost has gone up approx $300. Does anyone think Toyota could get away with this in this environment or is this more creative accounting to confuse buyers? I am confused now more than ever . The bottom lne is my dealer is offering me cars in his stock or coming into stock for invoice price. Does anyone believe aside from Fitzmall I can do better in the NYC area.

Replying to: vliu13 (Jan 31, 2009 7:28 pm) What color combos does hudson have in that exact configuration. My eyes are bleeding form looking thru the inventory of 3 local dealers to find that exact combo The only people who has the exact car I want is Fitzmall in Chambers PA and he wants $28,116 and the car has been there since the end of November. The newer cars are $300 more and I am going to try Hudson tomorrow and see if they have that exact car in stock . Queens boro toyota wants $227.50 for license title etc $2381.59 for tax and $28437 for that car for a OTD total of $31,046.10. I think Hudson is robbing you on TTLD and giving you a better price on the car. I tend to not believe car dealers but will try Hudson 2morrow. I need to get my car no later than 2 -3 weeks and would not like to give a deposit in any event on a car to be delivered later. As to the question of how many dealers are in here? Do you think we are tipping our hand ? As for your comment "Do not settle for anything less than $27,750 before tax and TTL for 2009 Limited V6 with QY BC TO FE MF CF-R. We are looking for the same model and that is what I was given by Hudson Toyota dealer " Is this for a car in stock ??

Replying to: vliu13 (Feb 02, 2009 6:15 am) Are you going to buy it for $27750 plus TTLD? TTLD is almost a fixed amount so find out what other dealers want and insist on that amount . Queens boro toyota wants $227.50 If they insist on robbing you tell them to give you 30 day temp and you take care of the TTLD yourself

Replying to: vliu13 (Feb 02, 2009 10:49 am) Having said that $27,700 is $738 less than my other dealer wants for the car pre tax etc . The other dealer who wants $738 more only wants $227.50 registration and no documentation fee. Hudsons OTD price is $30.499.88 Queensboros is $31,046.10 OTD for the exact same car which they have to get from someone, ( Prolly Hudson ) Bottom line is that Hudson including the documentation scam is $546.22 cheaper if they honor that price, than Queensboro Toyota I got the scoop on this exact car. It was swapped out from a Smith town Long Island dealer to Hudson for I have no idea what reason . If the car doesnt drive well for any reason I would not be interested in it. Make your own decision, but remember I test drove one in November that accelerated beautifully Good luck and let me know what you do
