yes, I had a like experience with Houston dealers - when I asked for a quote, I was told "they don't compete with other dealers". BOYCOTT Houston dealers - show them customer treatment is important. If I lived in Houston, I would buy from another city and have an independent do the maintenance - keeping all the money out of their pockets.
 
   Also, dealers seem to expect full MSRP (about $6,000 profit on a 35K car with approx. 3% holdback) but do not have the expense of keeping a good selection of IS's in inventory... they want full MSRP even though many (most?) folks have to special order (to get the options and color they want) -- RESULT: customer waits months and dealer (order taker) gets max profits (with little or no expense or business risk).

I sent out an e-mail to dealerships 1.5 hours away. I told the salesman what I wanted and after they gave me prices, I got each dealership to battle for my business.
 
Eventually, Don Valley proved that they wanted my business, and offered me a deal that nobody would even come close to. I currently work for Toyota, and they were the only dealership to take that into consideration.
 
Good luck, and I hope things work out for you. The deal that I worked out took 4 months. Be patient, and don't be afraid to walk out until they deal on your terms.

Did I Overpay??? by jdprep25

I bought the car, and very happy with it!!! don't get me wrong, but i still feel i maybe just maybe could have gotten a better price. It was 33,400.....so OTD with tax and license was $36,493. Now i know thats relatively low, i live in southern california and bought it at Longo. But i just found out a friend got their's for 37,000 with tax, license, fees, and 7 yr/100,000 mile warranty. (MSRP on warranty is $1400.) So does that mean she only paid close to $33,000 before tax license and fee's????? Please Help!
