Toyota is # 1 and Honda is # 2. Your story is the reason why. Toyota has always bent over backwards to please and thats why they are # 1. Here is my story for you: I bought a Lexus SC 430, the most expensive car Lexus makes and I had gone over to the dealship dressed in clothes from bringing our boat back from Ft Lauderdale. In other words I was not dripping in diamonds. I was treated horribly and I caled Japan direct to speak with the President. He called me back twice to make certain that I was satisfied and the salesman got fired. Just because you can drip in diamonds doesn't mean you have to....Keep the Yaris its lots of fun...I like it better than any car I have ever owned. I permanently installed a Nuvi 5000 GPS in my right hand glove box with a bsck up camera. That was the only one that Best Buy could permanently install. My brother then bought the Honda Fit...It doesn't have as many storage compartments and the gas mileage is less ....enjoy your Toyota..You are #1

I use the compartment behind the steering wheel to keep my solar glasses...even though I have the ones that convert from regular glasses to sun glasses...the solars make it better and are good for nght vision.... Love my Yaris...better than Lexus....and better than Mustang that I own...its just perfect....the dealership chuckles at me as they can't believe that I love my Yaris over the other autos I have owed....I paid seventeen something it was a special order with automatic everything ...door locks, tinted windows, aluminum wheels with nitrate or something like that in them that they do not lose "air" backup camera, gps installed...bought the exhaust tip and the decals for the doors etc...love my Yaris.... |

My saleslady was Brenda Robertson. Here is what I got on my yarii. sticker info: base = 13,305. all weather guard=110. cruise control=250. remote keyless entry=230. power package with steel wheels=1580. carpeted floor mats=150. freight=720.00 msrp on sticker=16,345.00 agreed price: 14,762.00 freight:720.00 protective exterior/interior coating:500.00 sales tax:479.49 gap insurance: 550.00 tax:32.54 license:53.00 title:40.00 processing:289.00 price financed thru toyota=17,427.03 at 2.9 % on both cars. research shows average paid prices for this model and trim fall like this: actual dealer cost: 15,687 factory invoice:15,953 average paid: 16,035 sticker price: 16,434 my price=14762.51 I hope I did pretty good.

Replying to: home_rainbow (Jul 26, 2009 1:38 pm) i cant figure out why the dealer offered the car at such a low price either! it was in paper at 11,888 for 4 door sedan with AT, power package, fog lamps, floor mats. The dealer DID retain a 1,000 rebate in a program which ended in May. i am sorry i forgot to mention that. They did come off the price another 200 down to 11,666, and they threw in keyless entry because they told me over the phone that it had keyless and when i got to dealer and it did not i was a little perturbed. but remember i didnt get that great a deal . . .my drive out price was 13,800 because l paid 599 for the ding/dent/fabric stain removal package (they would not sell without it) plus about 800 in sales tax plus another 600 in title and tag fees . . .so they got their money that way, plus the 1,000 rebate. when you consider all that, they made a little money on the deal despite the fact that i got it WAAY below invoice . . isnt there also a dealer holdback for toyota too? I dont know that number, but they had to make a buck on it.

I have been fighting over a few hundred bucks when I see that some of you are getting a loaded sedan for WAAAAAAAY less than the quotes I'm ending up with!!! I have 3 dealerships offering me a bit over 17,000, including taxes tags and fees. This is for a 2010 flint/charcoal AT sedan with the steel wheels power package, all-weather package, keyless entry, and carpeted cargo/floor mats. This I painstakingly negotiated down from 17700 over a period of 1 month! I live in PA, I am dealing with 3 PA dealerships. What am I doing wrong??? I feel like I'm doing a GOOD job negotiating and researching (I feel like I built the car), but they are not going less than exactly $99 over invoice. I thought THAT was a good deal. Isn't it...?
