What state did you get your toyota? I am having a horrible time getting them to come down. Got them to $300 over invoice but they won"t drop the TDA, dealer holdback or Wholesale financial charge (all gravy to them). Now he wants to charge us to get the color we want in. We are looking at an Access cab, V6, AT, SR5 with SL 4x4. vs a Frontier King cab, LE with value pkg. Nissan sure seems like they want our business a lot more. Just concerned about the longevity and quality of a Nissan truck vs Toyota. We love our Xterra but that's a whole different classification. Do you still love your truck?

We're in eastern washington. I just got the best price from surrounding areas then took that to our local dealership that I knew would bargain from my knowledge of when we bought our last toyota.

I am in central wa. So how did you get out of paying the dealer holdback or wholesale financial charge or the TDA? (they all add up to about $1200) Does your rig have any SL pkg on it or other pkgs? We went to spokane, they jumped at my first offer but then I realized we offered too much ($500 over invoice= what a car buyer could get us), got him down to $300 but still felt that was to much so walked away. I don't think Costco would be any better. Came back to the local dealer, he said they could match the $300 but we would have to pay to get a trade shipped in (NOT!), if they had to trade for a color or pkg. Have been at this a couple of months, really tired of all this but will continue to play the game. the hour they have spent with us is not worth the $1000s extra they want.

The truck we were looking at had the SR5 package (SL) on it. We did not end up purchasing a toyota because of the limited supply of 2010's left with just the base SR5 package and none of the colors were acceptable to us and it was too late for a factory order. We submitted requests to dealers from Seattle, Portland, and all across Washington. Once we had the lowest price from those, we went back to the 2 dealerships that seemed to be most competitive in price (which were Doxon Toyota and Appleway Toyota) and tried to get them to beat our lowest price. Hope that helps

Forgot to add that the local Nissan dealer was doing a factory repair on the crew cab LE we wanted to test. Said it would be done Wed afternoon, and we set up a time to come in on Thurs. Got there, they gave us the run around, they had sold it. Didn't even bother to call. They just lost our business. Tired of this stuff, so really appreciate your input. What Nissan dealer did you end up using?

Compared Tacoma and Frontier. Low-Mid range priced Tacoma or Fully Loaded LE Frontier was the choice.
 
It was no comparison. Power - Frontier, Style - Frontier, Creature comforts - Frontier.
First trip with Truck averaged 20+ mpg on hilly highway driving. Roof rack holds canoe, sunroof feature a plus, leather seats and adjustable seats all out sold Toyota model.
 
We are neighbors to the Toyota dealer 1 mile away and visited often to try to make a deal. They kept calling back offering "USED" Toyota Trucks with 30,000 miles. We made an ONLINE purchase at the Nissan Dealership and have yet to visit the dealer. The salesperson drove the truck to our house and drove away our trade. This service can't be beat.
 
We purchased the NEW 2010 Frontier LE 4x4 Crew Cab loaded for the same price as the "VERY USED" Tacoma's and are very pleased with our decision.
 
Towing is great, power is great, acceleration is great, comfort great, Nissan Dealer (Abeloff) was great.
