What do you think? Good deal?

If YOU feel that you got a good deal, then you got a good deal. No sense in pulling your hair out now....

Besides, buying a new vehicle is all about your own perceived value.

BTW, when someone says "out the door" that usually indicates the total price after taxes and other fees.

Welcome,
Why are you asking now, after you bought the truck? The only thing you will gain is buyers remorse.

It looks like a good price. Add ons are interesting!
 
No hair is being pulled out, just interested in other's views.... The philosophical feel good response of "if you feel......" is not what was asked. Just simply wondering if this is in line with what others were paying. Pretty simple......

That is not the case in Oklahoma. You don't pay tax or title at the dealership. You go to an Oklahoma tag agency within 30 days of purchase. State law. All other "fees" are included in the out the door price I provided.

I think just about ALL the add ons are garbage. The Vehicle Shield Package and Extra Mile Option A or whatever are pure cash in the distributor/dealers pocket.

Problem is if you look at dealer inventory for the "Gulf Coast Distributer" states (i.e., TX, AR, OK, etc) they basically all have this garbage. What a racket. I told the initial dealer I would not pay for these out of principle, however, I gave up. I do think the price was low enough that I didn't really "pay" for them.

Fine, but keep in mind that this forum is comprised of people all over U.S. (Canada and other countries also), not just Oklahoma.

If you're looking for opinions on the deal that you made, then make sure the total price you paid is clear. Saying that you paid $XXXXX "out the door" would make most people think that was the total price you paid, including taxes, tags, fees, etc...
 
If it makes you feel any better, I think you got an average deal, especially considering that you purchased a 2wd 4Runner. From what I've seen, dealers are more willing to negotiate a lower price on 2wd versions simply because they are not as sought after as 4wd 4Runners.

You can use the Search function to find plenty of "what did you pay for your 4Runner" threads.

I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it than stating "tax and title not included" in my original post. Thanks for your comments, I need no more comments from you.

I know about Forums and the wide geographical participation.

I'm not looking to "feel better". I feel fine right now. I wrote a check and bought my wife the vehicle she wanted.

Your condesending attitude is begining to bore me.

BTW, the majority of 4Runners sold are 2wd.

Please, no need to respond to that fact.

Go on to another thread.

welcome to the 4Runner family!

I have no idea what the tax and title will be. I need to wait until I get documents in the mail and then go to the Oklahoma tag agency. This is required within 30 days.

This is out of my control and will be what it is. Not sure of the tax rate or registration fees are. It IS NOT based on sale price but on the value ascertained from the VIN. I just pay them when I tag and title.

You can make it clearer by not stating an "out the door" price when most people know that as the total vehicle price including tax, tags, and fees. Pretty simple, huh?

Glad you're feeling better. You have quite an attitude for a new forum member. Lighten up and you'll probably live a little longer.

BTW, if you are going to state something as fact, then do us all a favor and back it up with some sort of proof. I think you're wrong that Toyota sells more 2wd 4Runners than 4wd 4Runners. Until you come up with some sort of evidence, I'm calling BS.

They might sell more 2wd 4Runners in Florida, but you think they sell more where? The U.S.? Canada? Japan? Wordwide? LOL:biggrin2:

welcome to the 4Runner family!

His "out the door" price doesn't include tax or tags, like the majority of us. But of course he gets his panties in a knot if someone mentions that!

Fill out the spreadsheet on my purchasing page and post the results. Talking about the price paid under MSRP is meaningless.

Be sure to add the bogus add on's (you are correct to call them garbage) to the amount over invoice line as most have no real value and are simply dealer profit. If the dealer profit % row is between 3-5% you and the dealer both got a fair deal.

After the 3-5% deal was negotiated, you should have got the current $2,000 cash rebate, which is pure cash in your pocket and should have brought you way below invoice.
