I think I got the car for a couple of hundred behind invoice. My sister qualified for a 400 dollar marketing support for being a recent college graduate. So they made about 200 bucks on her that way. Then they put 4650 on her VW which seemed fair to me but I don't know the market down there so maybe 5,000 dollars was real money. She seemed to get a good rate for her credit history which is minimal so the rate was pretty high but it was also fair. She did buy an extended warranty out to 100,000 miles which I told her not to buy but she bought it anyway. All in all they probably made 1,000 to 1,500 dollars off of her depending on what the trade was worth.

Replying to: thetrumphet (Aug 30, 2006 6:37 pm) Then because of the way Toyotas distribution system is set up in most of the country it is very difficult to get certain options and impossible to special order anything.

Replying to: thetrumphet (Aug 30, 2006 6:37 pm) The problem is not nearly so bad today as ABS, etc., has become virtually universal. Sadly, some companies (notably Ford) are still lagging although I will say in Ford's defense that at least theiir optional safety options are (usually) readily available. |
