I'm looking at a Tundra grade crewmax, 4x2, still debating on the 4.7 vs 5.7. Any opinions on which to go with and what I should have to give for it? I will probably be going for the low APR vs the rebate.

I'm assuming his quote didn't include the factory rebate. Depending on where you live, it could be anywhere from $2500-$3500. The discount of around $3500 you were quoted is near invoice, so say there was a $3500 rebate, you'd be net $7000 off. You can find local rebates by utilizing edmunds or you can go to buyatoyota.com for current specials.

With these gas prices and the economy the way it is I would shoot for 9000-11000 off the vehicle, especially with the hi priced dealer add-ons.
Good luck

$8k off, maybe... $9k off, a stretch, $11k off, well, they don't have that much in the vehicle. I guess anything is possible these days. There's only about $3k-$4k in front-end gross profit on these trucks. Even if a dealer were to subtract out his holdback, wfr, and ad fee, you'd be roughly $5500 off list, then assuming a $3k-$4k rebate... well, you can do the math.
Now, if you want a Dodge, $11k off is very doable, especially with rebates in the $5k-$6k range.

Thanks for the help! The quote above didn't include the rebate which is 3K in our area. Dealer said 42K is the lowest they could go on that vehicle. I walked away from the deal - didn't like the sales tactics of trying to add two of the options on the MSRP twice. A different dealership has a loaded limited Tundra Crewmax 4WD with nav, leather, RSE without those black rims for the same price.

Re: -0-% finance with hidden fees

After getting all the data on costs/options and color, I proceeded to Toyota.com to apply for -0-% financing for 48 months. Based on our FICO scores of 750+, we were pre-approved -0-% 48 mos for $44K. I then proceeded on the internet and typed in the dialog box that I was willing to pay only "dealer invoice" and don't waste my time!. I received 4 offers via e-mail and phone for 08'Tundra CrewMax 4 X4 "dealer's invoice plus DMV fees". When I finally received a written confirmation as to the CrewMax options/color/and dealer's invoice pricing, I made an appointment to finally the car. At the time of closing or signing, I asked to review the detail cost analysis, and to my surprise, the Toyota dealership added $730 in admin fees, $500 in marketing, $800 in bank flooring interest fees, and $10 for gas: in addition to the dealer's cost. I questioned the 4 line items, and the reply was that it was mandatory fees! Bull! I walked out and fired off an email to the dealership/ BBB/ action line/ Consumer Affairs/ Federal Trade Commission. The added fees totalled $2000 on top of dealer's invoice...more profit and gougeing to the "qualify customer." In my complaint and letter, I informed him that my sister works for Toyota USA and the added fees are hidden fees (outlawed by the FTC). There are alot of shady dealerships out there. I went to the other dealership and proceeded to get him to put in writing or e-mail that there will be no surprises at closing such as hidden fees. So be careful, dealerships are adding mark ups (fees) to the so called "dealer invoice." You would think with the economy in a near recession, and there are 500+ Tundras sitting on the dealer's lots, they would treat a "qualify buyer" this shabby way. Don't shop at Salinas Toyota: drove 150 miles and wasted 3 hours of my time.

There are a ton of Tundras sitting on the dealer's lots: 2007's and 2008's. You can get dealer's invoice pricing by just demanding it, but just make sure at closing, the dealership doesn't add the hidden fees such as $730 for admin, $500 for advertising, $800 for interest/flooring charges for the Tundra sitting on the lot. You are willing buyer; their job is to move inventory! Just don't be eager in the sale and show your desire and emotions. This is a $40k business decision! This is not a "need"; this is a want. If he can't sell it to you at invoice, someone will!
