This is a surprise, I got the car just 15 days ago and they have dropped the price, APR and lease!!
 
I know it is too much to expect; but is there a precedence to reneogitate a car deal?

We can't predict the future. You own it now.

Mack, need your help here:
 
I talked with my local dealer at VA, and was told that I have two options in terms of the incentives:
 
1. 0% for 60 months. No case back or loyalty cash.
2. $2000 cash back, plus $2000 loyalty cash.
 
But, my understanding is that no matter I take the 0% APR or $2000 cash back, I am always eligible for the $2000 loyalty cash. But the dealer refuse to give my loyalty cash if I select 0% APR.
 
Do you know what's the real case? I prefer 0% APR but definitely don't want to lost $2000 loyalty cash.
 
Many thanks!

They are right. It's either or. Just look at it this way. Figure out what the price for the 0% will be and what it will be with the 2k cash back and 2k loyalty rebate.
 
If you can get the vehicle for invoice less the 4k in rebates it may be better than the 0%. Sometimes what they will do is sell the vehicle for more if you opt for the 0%. The 0% financing doesn't do anything for the dealership. I believe they get $100.00 for doing the deal. OTOH with the rebates they get to keep them as most customers use them as cash down or to lower the price of the vehicle. Either way it usually comes out about the same in the end.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Like you said, through trial and error and was able to locate the dealer that had the Pyrite Mica with Red Rock interior Platinum that you identified for me. It was in Atlanta and now it's in my driveway in Pennsylvania. Your advice through this buying experience was greatly appreciated!!!
 
Deal was invoice plus $400 plus $699 dealer fee plus tax/title registration. 0% financing.
 
In my opinion and my wife's opinion, the Pyrite Mica and Red Rock is a great combination. We also like the wood dash. Fender flares look great as well - gives the vehicle nice defintion and a more "rugged appearance".
 
Wife has a nice new Mother's Day present! Thanks again!

Hey, hats off to you! You were able to get it done. My purchase was for the wife as well and she is very happy. Glad I could help. Sounds like you have a reasonable dealer that was willing to work with you.
 
As I said before, I wasn't a fan of the fender flairs, but hey, to each his own. My wife does like the wood dash kit. My thieving dealer was asking $787 for the wood dash kit. Told him to go to hell. Mack has mentioned it was available for somewhere in the high $200 range.

I bought it - finally by tsfan
May 06, 2008 (9:28 am)
Reply
- Limited, 4WD
- sticker price $52090
- deal price $45000 (before tax title tag dealer fee)
- No DVD, No nevigation,
- 20 inch wheels
- sunroof
- power back door
- cold package
- read spoiler
- daytime running light
- floor mat, cargo mat, door sill protector
 
I took the 0% for 60month instead of the $4000 cash back.
 
The only concern I have is it already has 127 miles on the meter when I bought, not sure why it has such high miles. Is it normal for such high test-driving miles? I test drive it and did not feel any problem, but you know, i am not a mechnical engineer .... While I guess it's already too late to ask this question since I already signed the deal.
 
Big thanks to Mack for the latest incentive. also thanks to HD for the experience on toyota nevigation (the reason why i did not ask for this option).

127 miles is nothing. I've sold vehicles with 200+ miles. Sometimes we have to exchange with other dealers so depending on where we go the mileage will vary.
How long was the vehicle on the lot? It might have been test driven a few times and maybe taken overnight by a prospect. I wouldn't lose sleep over it. My first Camry had 45 miles on it. Mainly because it was a 5 speed and quite a few sales persons test drove it. My Toyota Van LE was fresh off the delivery truck. 1 mile on her. My first Toyota was an 81 Celica and I don't remember what the mileage was on that one. I was 22 years old and that new car smell just got to me.
 
Congratulations and enjoy your new Sequoia.! You will get many years of trouble free driving pleasure.

The annual inspection sticker shows March, and the inventory sheet shows the invoice date Mid Feb. So I believe it had been on lot for a bit over for 2 months.
 
Another not sure thing is about the engine sound, I hear the engine becomes quite noisy when running around 45-50 MPH, giving me a kind of feeling that it's working overly hard to get up the speed. Never drive a V8 truck engine before, not sure whether it's normal.

The 5.7L V8 in the Sequoia is a monster for a half ton vehicle. Are you getting a nice throaty sound when you accelerate? Find a nice clear road where you can put the pedal to the metal and see if it feels like you said.
