Now several months have passed... and you see many 4.6 crews in the gulf states, but still none in eastern US. I'm confident that a slight mpg savings will move the 4.6 as the consumers choice- if not the conservative contractor.

#824 of 836 2011 Tundra dealer quote help by synyster

May 12, 2011 (11:58 pm)

I have a quote for a 2011 Toyota Tundra CrewMax Pickup 4D 5 1/2 ft Magnetic Gray w/Rock Warrior package. I was wondering if that is good price or can I do better? Any suggestion or tips on getting a better price for this truck. What is the best OTD price I can ask for? Originally, I wanted to get the monthly price to around $300 or under w/$20000 down. Can it be done? Thanks lml

Hello Avidexplorer
 
I have not been too active on this board. Been pretty busy at work.
 
With that said, I apologize for not seeing your question sooner and for not replying sooner.
 
I noticed that your reply to my post was dated Feb 26, which was 4 months ago.
 
I am not sure if my answer will be of any value at this point, but I will post in case it stills holds value for you or any other reader with similar question on their mind.
 
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
Are there dealerships that you would NOT work with at this time in the metro Atlanta area?
 
I had visited one other dealer, World Toyota.
 
The salesman was respectful. His Supervisor was half the salesperson's age. The Supervisor did push the fact that this dealer is part of a large conglomerate of 100+ dealerships owned by a single holding company.
 
This dealership was pushing customer service as their main goal. They even offered to let me borrow the Tundra for a day.
 
I did take a test drive, but I wasn't ready to buy yet.
 
After the test drive, I exchanged info with them.
 
I looked the truck over noticed things that I didn't notice before. I went home and emailed the dealer about the things I noticed.
 
I didn't get a response on my email. They sold the truck the following weekend because the AutoTrader posting was pulled.
 
I do get occasional emails from the dealership, but I delete them.
 
Would I do business with this dealership? This would depend on if they had a very particular configuration of the Tundra at a very good price
 
I recall growing up that each Car Dealership was independently owned with some small conglomerates of 10 or less dealerships owned by one person.
 
I believe that nowadays, the trend is that there are numerous dealerships owned by holding or LLC companies that own 100+ dealerships. These conglomerates are pushing Customer Service.
 
The best thing to do is pick a dealership, look up the dealership on Google Maps, then look at the Review section, which is an aggregation of reviews directly posted to Google, reviews from Kudzu, and reviews from all other sources rolled into one.
 
Personally, I highly rate Toyota Mall of Georgia. They give lifetime warranties on Engine, Drive Train, and Transmission. This is free. I purchased an upgrade to the Bumper to Bumper Warranty. They also offer free AAA like service. Their Service Department is pretty clean and upbeat with a full time janitor. They have a coffee bar that also makes food and they have free WiFi.
 
The waiting area has two TVs. One TV is on CNN and the other TV is on Fox News. They cater to both Political persuasions.
 
I hope that the above info is useful.
 
Regards
DSLBiker

#827 of 836 2001 Toyota Tundra-I'm confused by gs451

Aug 06, 2011 (1:11 am)

Hi everyone,
 
I'm looking at a 2001 Used Tundra Regular Cab for my dad at the moment. The car is Automatic and has 133,000 miles but I am not clear as to whether or not it is a Basic or SR5 model (per Edmund's TMV search). I got a TMV value of around $3K and the KBB says it is around $3900. I'm pretty confused at this point, is there a glitch somewhere?
 
The car is being offered for $4300, I thought it was a phenomenal deal but now I don't know what to think. Also, similar '01s aren't listed for anything under $7K, any input would be appreciated because I'm truly clueless.
 
As a side note, is it an okay idea to get a car like this from a private party as opposed to getting it from a dealer. Anything major to be on the look out for?
 
Thanks in advance

#829 of 836 Advertising cost $799 by kgabe

Oct 15, 2012 (5:44 pm)

I'm looking at a new 12' Tundra. Dealer is including a $700 (TAD) fee. Which was explained to me as a charge by Toyota to all dealers for advertising. Say what? I know the auto entities charge dealers for advertising but most of it is returned to them in some sort of hold back set-up. Anybody else experience this BS from Toyota? There's no way I'd pay the $700

Did you buy a pickup truck recently? A reporter is looking to speak with recent truck buyers and how they made their decisions: Which brands did they consider? What did they trade in? And would they consider a different brand in the future? If you'd like to help the reporter with this story, please contact predmunds.com by no later than February 5, 2013.

I contacted no less than 3 Toyota dealerships AFTER they quoted me, via e-mail, their price on a Toyota Tundra 4Wd extended cab LTD series truck. NONE of them would send me, via e-mail, their quoted price along with the taxes and destination fees. In other words their quotes were BOGUS and they knew they were NOT going to sell me that truck at that quoted price.
 
What was I suppose to do (other than walk away) threaten them with civil litigation? Why bother? I'm sure there are reputable dealers that will stand behind their quoted prices and will put it in writing but I personally found NONE with a Toyota dealer.
