Replying to: car25 (Jan 03, 2009 7:07 pm) That’s right. The gold standard of manufacturing is not exempt from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. In November, Toyota’s sales dropped 34%. GM’s sales were down 41%. People aren’t buying cars or much of anything right now. The value of the yen has risen 25% since summer, which makes autos significantly more expensive overseas (or the losses even bigger). But let’s take a look at the rest of the story. It is Toyota’s first financial loss in 70 Years. In 2007, Toyota posted $28 billion in operating profit. They have $18.5 billion in cash with relatively little debt. Have they lain off any employees? No. Have they cut back production and delayed new plant openings? Of course. So what are the employees doing? Training, maintenance, cleaning, problem-solving, and doing jobs that had been outsourced. Even in downturns, Toyota continues to invest in its people, plant and equipment. Will Toyota abandon Lean? Absolutely not. Why would anyone abandon an improvement system that saved the company after WWII and has given them a significant competitive advantage since the 50’s? It is what makes Toyota the gold standard. |

I bought a 2008 Tundra Double Cab Limited 4X4. Color Black Interior Biege Additional Equipment Included: Brushed Stainless Steel Step Boards Bedliner TRD Off Road Package Floor Mats and 4 Piece Sill Protector. Sticker Price: 40,737.00 Dealer invoice Price 36,303.00 and 1750,00 Rebate Paid 34,000.00 Plus 298.00 Documentary Preparation Fee (which I'm sure is kinda BS) and 150.00 Registration fee (I'm from NY and Bought the truck in MA and had to pay another company to register the truck for me.) Grand Total Paid 34,448.00 plus tax. with 0% financing for 5 years. 1855.00 underdealer invoice. No dealership in New York would come close to this price and my local dealer got extremely annoyed when I asked him if he could come close to this price. He just about accused me of lying to him and said "If you can get that truck for that price, I would run up there and get it." I took his advice and that's just what I did. I bought the truck in MA, because the dealer was offering a 1750.00 rebate and 0% Financing, that wasn't available in New York. In New York you can get 0% financing or a 3000.00 rebate but not both. I did all the negotiations over the internet and it made the process much easier. Hope this post helps someone out there get a good deal.

Who was the dealer that sold you the 7 year warranty for $990? I've been looking into that and $1050 was the lowest I've been able to find on other forums. Not sure if it would be worth it or not with putting limited miles on. It's my understanding that you can buy the Toyota warranty from any dealer in the country. On another note, in January I was able to get an 08 DC SR5 MSRP w options of 34200 for 27700 OTD. (including 5.5% sales tax plus title) I know it's a couple months ago, but I thought I would chime in. We had a $5000 rebate at the time here.

Lots of good information on this post - thanks to all who have contributed. I'm looking to pull the trigger on my first truck, have test drove all of the major competitition, and the Tundra seems like the clear choice. I just don't want to take a bath on the deal. Essentially, I'm looking for an '09 SR5 Double Cab, standard bed, 5.7L 4x4 with fog lights, bedliner with deckrails, stainless steel steps and sliding windows. Has anyone purchased something similar recently? When you're talking about a truck that stickers at around $34,500, it would seem as though there is some room to move, particularly in this economy. Any help is much appreciated. |
