Of course that assumes they are getting the holdback and not using the marketing support. Now, maybe they would be willing to lose some money to clear some inventory - maybe not. An earlier post said he got $1000 under invoice and that seems real good. Also don't forget those additional fees (processing fees, transportation, etc). That is really just profit for the dealer. If they insist on charging you those, your offer should be that much lower. So the answer is: "Who knows" I would guess $3500 under is way too low, but in this market maybe not. There just isn't enough data points in this thread to get a good idea on an exact number. But you have given us one more. Have you tried e-mailing dealers outlining the exact truck you want and stating if you get me that truck I will buy today for $XXXXX? I think I would try that at $1500 or $2000 under and see how it goes. Please post your results - this thread is sorely lacking hard numbers. |

Here what you need to consider before purchasing 4Runner. It starts to rust under the hood in the first 4 months, Toyota says it is rusting from the outside in, so they don't fix it or cover it under warranty. Audio system starts to go crazy during hot humid days. CD player starts to spit out CDs in the cd changer, words on the stereo are all scrambled And of course, gas milege is not the best... If you don't believe me, google it and you will see what other problems 4runners have. All my statements are based on the 2007 4runner Sport (purchased in Sept 07 as new). The car started having above issues in Dec 07 (rust) and July 08 (audio).

CD player starts to spit out CDs in the cd changer, words on the stereo are all scrambled" No radio/CD problems on my 4Runner. "And of course, gas milege is not the best... " Agreed. Of course, it is just about what you would expect from a heavy, body-on-frame, SUV. I've had put 73,000 miles on my 4Runner since new. In that time, I've had the following replaced: - brake disks and pads - AC condensor clutch solenoid - rear hatch motor and strike plate Other than that, I've just done standard maintenance. Mine has been very, very reliable. |

Does anyone have experience with any of the dealers budging in the northwest for a sport v8? Except on a few certain models, dealer do not appear to be reducing prices below $3000 under MSRP + the $2500 rebate. So $5,500 off MSRP. Comparing to invoice is worthless, since dealers have difference invoice prices for the exact same vehicle; whereas, MSRP is constant and determined by Toyota. I see posting for phenomial deals, but I can not seem to locate them. Or are the good deals primarily for used 4Runners?

Replying to: tangman (Oct 08, 2008 10:16 pm) If you want to take a road trip, a dealer in Alabama offered me $1000 under invoice and a $4000 rebate for a 4WD SR5. |

I only every compare relative to MSRP, since that is consistent across all dealers. Invoice varies by dealer and location. 4-Runners continue to set on the lots for months, but I really can not do much better than $3K under invoice on a sport in the northwest. Higher discount are available on certain Limiteds.

Replying to: tangman (Oct 16, 2008 11:14 pm) According to Edmunds, a new 08 Sport Edition is 25,149 after destination charge. Assuming no trade, and 0% financing through Toyota, what should I consider a good deal or steal? There are a ton of these on the lots, and I'm quite interested. I'm thinking $25,000 flat would be good + TTL, but any guidance would be a great help, thank you! |
