Hello, thanks for the input. I ended up with Woburn Toyota, Crew max 5.7, sr5, for 28,000 with $411 in Admin, added stainless side steps (600) back up camera ( 640) Rhino guard (600) and weather floor mats (120). The one add on I purchased was the 7/75000 warranty, I usually repair my own vehicles but with the newer ecu and software I didn't want to regret a minor cost down the road. I also used the 0% finance for 5 years with the $1000 extra consider down payment assistance. I traveled to six area dealers to see if they wanted to beat the deal, no takers on the 30th. I dealt with Joe Witt, and found him to be very good, knowledge on the truck and he gave me parts at cost to them. Thanks for your input good luck

Hi, No the adds on's were on top of the 28,000, and the vehicle is a 4wd. I started by traveling to dealers and see what they would accept for a price without options, so I could compare their prices accurately. Boch was the first to offer the 28,000, and the only other dealer to match it was Woburn. They also allowed the highest trade value $2100 for a 95 dodge ram. Thanks again.

Your deal seems to be in the same ballpark as the quote I got a couple of weeks ago. I was interested in a couple of other options and can't reconcile the differences right not, though. Does your deal include 0% financing and/or the business owner's discount?
I'm in the same situation regarding my "free cash" position and I don't want to overpay for a vehicle in these economically uncertain times.
Thanks!

I wasn't shopping that model but your prices seem reasonable, better than down here. My only other advice is to check with dealers by stopping in and going through the sit down (sales manager preferably), and go through the numbers. Bring either a lap top or calculator to double check their numbers. If you go in the a. m. I found it was easier to find a manager and lay out the deal I needed him to beat. In a short time (30 minutes) you will know if they are worth your time or not. I picked a monthly payment using the edmunds calculator to know what I should expect to have for a payment with the discount and sales tax included, money down. That way when they are running all those numbers trying to confuse you my final question is what is the monthly payment? Knowing if they weren't hiding fees or overcharging me the payment should be X. Afterward I included my options trying to settle on cost to dealer. You could do the same thing by internet but the price might increase or the truck won't be their when you go in. Through my reading it seemed the dealer is more anxious to lower his price at the end of the month to meet quotas. Hope this helps

Get 10-20 email bids last week of the month. July and August should be a shooting gallery for these vehicles. The market for trucks is slower than mud. If you look up a used 07 version of the new 08 you are looking at via kbb.com with avg miles you will probably find it has a trade in value of about 14000 or more off msrp for about a 33k truck. You may actually find it hard to trade it in for $16000 off msrp for another vehicle with the gas situation the way it is. As one could see 10000 off msrp isn't exactly giving the truck away for a new one.
Also do the same with competing Chevy and Ford models. The used truck market for 05s-07s could be astonishing if tried. With all the trade-ins repos and trucks coming off lease one may be surprised at how low below kbb *trade-in* value (not dealer retail) a good lo-mi 07 with remaining warranty could be had.
Good luck

Is it a good deal?

This will be my first truck I ever purchased. I hope you will help me choose the best deal with the best options.
I got a quote for a Tundra Base 5.7L V8 Double Cap Long Bed for $27,142 out of the door including 0% (approved) for 60 months or 24,142 out of the door cash price.
The price before tax and fees is: $25,328 with 0.0 % finance or $22,328 cash price before taxes and fees.
The truck has only 46 miles on it. I drove it and it seems to be fine.
Added options: Tow mirrors, upgrade styled steel wheels, heavy duty battery, starter, etc.
Bed liner, carpets.
I decided to go for the long bed because it fits the large Yamaha Grizzly (82") . Regular bed is only 78". Long bed is 90".

I'm note sure if your looking at a good deal. SUV's and big trucks are sitting on lots all over the country and are going cheap. They are loaded with incentives. Just last week, local paper, Tundra grade 4.7 was 10k off (6k rebate,4k dealer discount.)
Thats a 30k truck for 20k. Today, I think you can do better.
Also, 3k rebate or 0% financing? If your watching payment, shop interest rates. Banks also getting competative. Get a good low rate AND take the 3k rebate.
(I think the rebates are better than that, check it out) Good luck.
