Re: [MBZ] New Toyota truck shopping
$21k before $498 Doc fee + $630 Taxes + $170 lic. Yeahbut, the one we were looking for at $18.5 MSRP, the one they talk about to get ya in the door, is supposedly rarely available. The ones that are available have another $2K worth of crap hung on 'em, then +, then +, then +, then +, etc.; suddenly you're at $23K; make a deal, then tack on Doc fee, tax and lic, etc. Glad I don't hafta buy a vehicle often.

Re: [MBZ] New Toyota truck shopping
That's very close to the discount I got on the F150 using the X-plan partner with EAA. The difference is that the X-Plan fixes the max for the documentation fee at something closer to reasonable - $50 or $100 - I don't remember exactly, only that I was not outraged at it.

[MBZ] New Toyota truck shopping
OK, y'all, here's another chance for ya to excel. #1 son (single, no children) has hit a deer and totaled his Toyota pickup. He'd like to get another similar vehicle. Old one is '06 Tacoma Access (extended) cab, 4 cyl, manual tranny. He's still trying to recover from lay-off as surveyor 3 years ago; went to chef school 'bout 2+ years; 'been working again (chef) 'bout a year. SWMBO and I've been helping 'im financially since his lay-off. Checking on internet, I've found a possible replacement vehicle (reg cab, though) at $19,000+ MSRP. I've never bought a vehicle via all of all of this new-fangled internet stuff -- well, I did find my showroom 87 300D 9 years ago on cars.com, then reverted to traditional method of personal contact, viewing, driving, negotiation, etc. - but do ya have any tips about other info that I may obtain from internet before I go out to the dealer's? What sort of negotiation is possible on dealer's internet price, etc? BTW, he'll get loan at my local fed. credit union where he also has home loan.

Re: [MBZ] New Toyota truck shopping
A coupla weeks ago I went through Costco and found a Ford dealer up in the DC area (Columbia MD) who had all their prices on their web site, the sales guy who called me had a coupla other reduction deals (student -$500, first time buyer another -$500 I think). The prices were about as low as I have seen, pretty much pay and go. I don't know if Toyota does like that, but that seemed like a pretty good way to do it, and the sales guy was like, come and get it, this is the best you can do anywhere, and I had to agree. He also said his price was lower than what the Costco price was. You might recall I looked at used prices and even for a car a few years older they were not significantly less, considering what issues a car with 50k or 70k miles might have. The market is kinda screwy these days. I kinda get the sense that with the internet, and dealers just looking to move product (their margins come on repairs and financing) you can find the bottom-line deal by looking around, and asserting cash money drive it away no screwing around pricing. I would think that something from the RDU area, or Charlotte, would give you a better deal just because of volume they move, or even a bit further into DC area. You want a Toyota, just check their web sites and see what they have, shoot a note, ask for cash money price today. --R On 4/24/13 2:43 PM, WILTON wrote: OK, y'all, here's another chance for ya to excel. #1 son (single, no children) has hit a deer and totaled his Toyota pickup.

Re: [MBZ] New Toyota truck shopping
Another thing that popped into my pea size brain. FiL was looking for a toyota pick em up in special color and trim. He could not find it near him in PDX, so he had the dealer look further afield. He was able to find one out in L.A., so flew down and looked it over, bought and drove it home. I think it was not brand new and he got a good price. In that vein, the Audi wagon is not well desired in the L.A. area, but they get stuck with an allotment. Prices are stupid low, since nobody there wants them. An Audi wagon is worth more than gold in Seattle though, so the guy who turned my FiL onto the looking in the southland has made a tidy profit heading down every so often and snagging a car off the lot for near dealer cost, drives it up and then sells if for many thousands more in a market with great demand. clay On Apr 24, 2013, at 12:15 PM, Rich Thomas wrote: A coupla weeks ago I went through Costco and found a Ford dealer up in the DC area (Columbia MD) who had all their prices on their web site, the sales guy who called me had a coupla other reduction deals (student -$500, first time buyer another -$500 I think).
