I picked up a new truck last night for $500 (before $5500 in rebates) under invoice. There are plenty of trucks out there still and you can probably do better still as every dealer I called said no problem to that discount, however they claim Toyota is trying to dry up the supply so they don't have to have such high rebates and can bring out their 2009. I had to get some things I did not want as their were none with the bare minimum of items I wanted. I used Edmonds.com for my guide on invoice price. However, you cannot find the car you build online. I had to take a few more options like the Back Up Camera, which I am totally glad I got. I ended up spending about $2,000 more than I went in to spend, but still about $4,000 less than my 2000 Tundra was when I bought it in 1999. To get the $1500 Business Owner rebate, you must register in business name and get business financing from Toyota, which is 1% higher. However, I usually pay my cars off in 3 months or so, once I sell my older car and move some money around to cover. |

Replying to: nyaudi (Aug 19, 2008 6:07 pm) I just bought a Tundra last night with the business rebate. I have a d.b.a as well. So does your actual vehicle title say the d.b.a name with your name as the co-owner? I just want to get clear on what exactly the insurance card has to say..... Thanks for your help!

My insurer, (allstate) has told me that I may have to have a business policy for the vehicle if it is in my business name (I am a sole proprietor with no employees) and that that policy can cost at least THREE times what a regular policy costs, which would be a major cost beyond the rebate.

Replying to: harleys (Aug 28, 2008 12:34 pm) As for the business discount, yes, it will show your DBA on the title, registration and the insurance card must match your DBA name precisely. But for a sole proprietorship, there is no extra paperwork or hassle. If you do this, you want to tell your insurance this is something like a 10% part time business. Our insurer had no issues with this - they said 20% was their limit. (I told them exactly what I was doing in terms of scoring an extra discount - they enjoyed the story...) And call it something that has you driving only around your own house - like a farm. I'm not surprised Allstate would try to make some more money off it - they are overpriced to start with IMHO  Finally, check Mass. prices. Had we gone there, we may have saved another $1K based on what I saw online, but not sure they will sell to NY resident and provide the Mass. rebates. Good luck and let us know how you make out! |

I am curious as to why there is not a lot of activity on this board? Seems like there is a lot of on some of the other boards I am watching. Anyway, I am looking to buy a Tundra this week. 4X4 TRD Double Cab. It also has Running lights, brushed steel stepboard, remote start, alloy wheel locks and all weather mats. I don't want the 0% financing and I know that after the Labor Day holiday they took away $1K of the $5K rebate. The dealer told me he would sell at $500 over invoice plus the $4K rebate. I am not sure if that is a good deal. I don't feel I can claim the business rebate and quite frankly don't want the hassle (yes I know it is $1,500K but I just got audited by the IRS this year and am squeamish). Curious as to what you all are seeing. Thanks!

Replying to: spyguy1022 (Sep 10, 2008 9:11 am) ALSO... do not pay more than Invoice minus $500. I had more than one dealer taking that offer by phone so I am sure it could have gone lower, but I was reaching the labor day deadline. Ask your insurer about the business registration. You will be registering car in business name. If you use your own name, no big deal. I have Allstate and they just wanted to make sure I was not going to be having employees drive, which I don't. We are a one person farm business.

Replying to: harleys (Sep 10, 2008 9:28 am) "You are looking at a black Crewcab 4x4 Limited with navigation with a MSRP of over $47,000 for $38,485 plus taxes, tags and $100 processing fee. If you qualify you can get another $1500 off of the $38. Give me a call to discuss this truck." What u guy think?? Oh, I'm in northern Va. Thanks....

Replying to: acemk (Sep 12, 2008 8:33 am) rebates. Figure in your rebates after you agree to a price relative to invoice. That way, if the truck you find from them or through a locate has different equipment, you price is still set. You don't get a bait and switch etc. I have bought 4 Toyota's this way, on the phone and it is the easiest way. There are some that got better deals than me, but I got my for invoice minus $500 and then received 5500.00 in rebates (1,000 in rebate ended Sept 2). It sounds like your price quote is around invoice, but use the Edmonds pricing. |
