#699 of 746 2009 SR5 CrewMax with Navigation by hotdealsniper Mar 07, 2009 (6:35 pm)
Crew Max with Navigation, rear backup camera, TRD off road Package, Sliding Moonroof, Bedliner.   MSRP $41,500   Paid $35,995 with NO dealer fee.   Also got 7yr/100,000 mile warranty Toyota Platinum 0 deductible for $990.00
#700 of 746 Warranty? by binny1 Mar 08, 2009 (4:46 pm)
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. Replies to this message: binny1 (Mar 08, 2009 4:47 pm)

Replying to: binny1 (Mar 08, 2009 4:46 pm) I should also add that the dealer I bought from offered me the same platinum warranty for $1800 at the time of purchase. Crooks.
#702 of 746 '09 SR5 Double Cab by mainer0607 Mar 22, 2009 (4:05 am)
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.

Purchased in Maryland, last Saturday:   Sticker/MSRP: 34,400 Invoice: 31,500 Negotiated Price: 29550 Rebate: 4500 OTD plus T&T: 25050
#704 of 746 great deal by borno Apr 01, 2009 (3:56 pm)
that's a great deal on a leftover 08. I'm trying to decide between the Tundra and a Ridgeline. The Tundra is just so BIG and still more truck/money than I need. Anybody else going back and forth between these two? Replies to this message: ocautoseeker (Apr 02, 2009 2:38 am) mainer0607 (Apr 02, 2009 2:06 pm)

Replying to: borno (Apr 01, 2009 3:56 pm) The Ridgeline is a very versatile "vehicle" but I think it's hard to compare to the Tundra given it's not a full-size truck. Hopefully you're not looking to get a V-6 in the Toyota, as that would be a waste. You'd be better off looking at at a Tacoma, which specs-wise is closer to the Honda. Just my 2 cents.

Replying to: borno (Apr 01, 2009 3:56 pm) SBornstein - funny you ask that question. I happened to be checking out SUV's and had gone into a Nissan/Honda dealership. After test driving the Xterra, the salesman showed me the Ridgeline and being a current Honda owner, I appreciated the looks but also knew quality/durability would be there.   That's what started me looking at trucks and I've since decided I'm going with the open bed vs. SUV. After having test drove the Tundra, there really is no comparison between the two - it's the Tundra for me. Considerably more power for neglible difference in fuel economy and most importantly more ground clearance and capacity to haul gear. However, this is what suits my needs and outdoor pursuits.   Sounds as though you need to decide what works for you. From your comment it wouldn't appear as though you really need a heavier truck for towing/hauling/etc. If it's primarily a commuter vehicle you're looking for with the occasion small run to the dump/transfer station or Home Depot, the Ridgeline should suffice - you'll save some money at time of purchase and each year when it comes time to register the vehicle.   The double cab Tacoma may also work for you - this is more comparable to the Ridgeline yet you get a longer bed and more ground clearance (if important to you). The only thing I felt in my test drive of this vehicle is that it did not have as smooth of a ride as either the Ridgeline or Tundra - and you'd lose that in bed watertight storage (great feature).   The beauty of looking at both of these vehicle lines, you know each of them will hold value. Good luck!
#707 of 746 Right on! by borno Apr 02, 2009 (4:36 pm)
You've hit the nail on the head. I agree, Tundra and Ridgeline is like apples and oranges. I do have a 5,750Lbs. boat to move occasionally, but wouldn't want to drive the Tundra year round for the few times I need to move the boat. I'm at a camp ground where moorings are lotteried off each year. If I don't get a mooring, I'd have to trailer the boat a short distance, even though the ridgeline maxs out at 5K towing, I could cheat a little. I also moved towards the open bed, over a suv for the obvious reasons.   The Tacoma is nice, but doesn't ride nearly as well as the Honda, and they stepped up the features on the '09 honda with blue tooth, rear camera, etc. May wait a year to see if they redesign the Honda, rumor has a new 8 cylinder coming.   Thanks for the feedback.
#708 of 746 Toyota not trying as hard to move vehicles? by swampfox28 Apr 14, 2009 (12:57 pm)
Seems like all the auto makers would be taking a hit right now with the current economic climate, but I've had no luck with what Edmunds SAYS we should get for our trade-in as well as the "what others are paying" price.   We gave up on trying to get another Honda Odyssey for what we "should" be able to get it for; the dealership just can't get within $2000 of the price they should/could.   My dad is trying to get an '09 Tundra, SR5 with tow mirrors (which almost no one seems to have in our area). He wants the 5.7 engine, but doesn't care about alloy wheels, navigation, etc. He would like fog lights, daytime running lights, a bedliner, and the other (I think) basics on the SR5.   Edmunds says we should be able to get it for 28,000-ish factoring in the 3500 incentive (around 32,000 MSRP), and also get 9,000 for his '02 Tundra with only 41000 miles on it as a trade-in.   He was offered 6000 for his trade in (mind you, no major blemishes - only one VERY minor ding on the side near the tirewell in the back), low mileage, and no other problems whatsoever. They said they "could go up to 7000" (like they're doing him any favors). Even with the tax advantage of trading it in, I'm telling him to just sell it privately; he'll get WAY more.   My question is: how low SHOULD we be able to get this '09 truck? It seems like 27-28000 would be reasonable; all we're getting is closer to 29000... We live in southern LA, but can go as far as Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Opelousas, or even Houston if need be. Any advice? THANKS!   -Sarah Replies to this message: ocautoseeker (Apr 15, 2009 5:38 am) lstory (May 15, 2009 7:15 pm) mainer0607 (May 16, 2009 4:49 am) rele1 (Jun 16, 2009 10:44 pm) mitcheld (Apr 15, 2009 6:13 am)
