Our store is taking a page right out of Chrysler's playbook but seems Mr. Press got it wrong so we are making it better. As most of you know Chrysler is offering a gas card in lieu of rebates or special financing. The smart consumer will probably won't fall for it. I'm amazed the former CEO of Toyota Motor Sales USA came up with this bonehead idea. Our take on it is this: On all Limited Sequoias $5000.00 off MSRP plus a $4000.00 dollar gas card. On Tundra Limited CrewMax $4000.00 off MSRP and a $3000.00 gas card. NO CATCH NO GAMES Basically it breaks down like this: Sequoia $600.00 discount $400.00 college or military rebate $2000.00 rebate from Toyota $2000.00 owner loyalty rebate Total $5000.00  On the Tundra is the same but the amounts are different: $600.00 discount $400.00 college or military rebate $3000.00 rebate Total $4000.00  Since our objective for this month is 300 new cars we are pulling all the stops. I hope it drives traffic to the store. We have so many cars and trucks on the lot that it's becoming almost impossible to find a parking space for the employees. !

One of my issues with the Sequoia is the safety ratings. Front Driver - 5 stars Front Pass - 4 stars Side Front/Rear - not tested I think that rating is very weak given so many SUVs are getting 5 stars front and side (GM, Ford, Honda) these days. It seems like passive safety isn't Toyota's biggest priority.However, I do believe active safety is a Sequoia strength. If someone has a different point of view I'd like to know. This probably might be the only reason I won't buy a Sequoia.

Replying to: juddsonr (May 10, 2008 2:57 am) I made my deal on the last day in April, when they were offering 0% 24 months for a Platinum. I made sure that if the deal was better in May the better deal would apply. On May 1st I asked the salesperson about the new deals. He said they now have 0% 60 months. When I picked up the vehicle on May 2nd the dealer wrote up my deal/contract with 0% 60 months for the Platinum. Maybe it was a mistake....maybe there was some confusion. The loan appears to be in effect as I just called the bank and it has the correct term per my deal.

Also, here is the test for the new Tundra with the Insurance Institute (the Sequoia was not tested): http://www.iihs.org/ratings/rating.aspx?id=800

Hi guys, I was quoted $45455 plus Tax, License & Doc fees and the OTD price $49400 for a 4x2 Limited with NV, EY, SR, PB, CT, RL, RF but the dealer back off just when I was about to go to sign paper and pick up the truck. They said that it's cash price only but asked me to apply for credit through the dealer web site to check to make sure I qualify for the 0% financing. They want $50700 for OTD price now. What do you think? I found it's hard to find a rear bench seat with every option like this one in Southern California. I am willing to pay $50K exactly out the door. Is it an Ok price? Or should I not even deal with this dealer.

Replying to: penaddict1 (May 16, 2008 7:33 pm) Mack P.S. cash only is a fallacy in the car business. In the old days it used to be that a customer would say "I'm paying cash, how much can you take off the price?" That was when people could afford to pay cash for a car. Today most people get loans and the dealer tries to get you to finance with them if you have a loan with your own bank or credit union. Cash is cash to a dealer whether in the form of a check or Ben Franklins. Mack |

Replying to: penaddict1 (May 16, 2008 7:33 pm) We live in the San Joaquin Valley in California and just purchased an '08 Sequoia Limited through the Costco auto purchase program. I feel that the Costco program worked great! The whole transaction was very smooth. Here was our price/info: 2008 Sequoia, Limited, 4X2, super white, graphite interior 20 inch wheels Navigation w/JBL sound, 4 disc changer & backup camera Rear DVD entertainment Pwr. rear door with jam protection Moon roof Rear spoiler Daytime running lights Second row bench seat (we preferred this over captains for more seating) MSRP: $51790 Purchase price: $46944 We were pre-approved at Tier 1 (the best rate/credit) through Toyota Financial and got 0% financing. I agree with you that the seond row bench seat with these options are more difficult to find. I like the second row captains but we really wanted the eight passenger seating. We were fortunate that they found the one we wanted (plus DVD/Ent.) in the city where I commute to for work. I
