Current 4Runner Prices keep rising.

4R Prices

I started this thread a few months ago and 4R prices are even higher now, this is unbelievable, can anyone explain why ? I am thinking about selling my ORP, should easily get all my money back and a little more. I have a 07 Camry XLE v6 and a 2018 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Duramax. I bought 4R because I wanted one, didn't really need one. GMC 2500 HD Diesel is even bring more money right now, I guess both vehicles are in high demand.

Even the US can't run a multi-trillion dollar deficit and expect there to be no inflation. Irresponsible voters are collapsing the standard of living in exchange for handouts. Both big parties are to blame - one is OK with spending as long as taxes stay low, the other is OK with anything as long as spending is high.

If you're in Los Angeles Area, go to Longo Toyota in El Monte. They only sell at MSRP. There might be a wait, but there won't be a markup.

It's a sad day when getting a vehicle at MSRP is a good thing!

There was a King of the Hill episode in which Hank was shown as a complete idiot because he always paid MSRP.

I'm sort of in the market for a used 4Runner but I'm going to wait for a market "correction" at some point...this bubble will burst.

I feel you on that. For me, I wanted to wait for the market correction, but I don't know when that will happen. I personally didn't want to lose out on the time I could be on trails and car travels with my family waiting for the correction. So MSRP wasn't a bad idea.

Massive government printing of money raises prices on all things. Every time.
 
03 4Runner v6. Was thinking about selling it 8-10 months ago and buying a new GMC Sierra. So glad I didnt. Now it’s worth $1k more and after finding this forum I want to drop 3k into her and let her and I enjoy the rest of her years!!!!! Jacked up and bright as f**k
 
Can’t wait to see how the 22 tundra works out. Because if the tundras not up to par with competition I’ll prob get the 23 4Runner. Time will tell. Price is just a number. If I have to work an extra 10hrs a week to have a brand new Tundra/runner then sign me up.
 
This is more than just printing money problem. There's a computer chip shortage to go along with the printer. Toyota isn't the only one effected and neither is it just the car industry. There's also the transport/logistical issue. Less truck transports and also parts issues for them when they break down. It's a minor issue compared to the other two but it all adds up.

On top of all this some people are still afraid to step out of their house and won't let their off lease vehicles go. This was a bigger problem last year and prior to the mass availability of vaccines but all those cars that didn't go off lease on time only added to the overall shortage and ultimately price increase

Toyota 4Runner Markups

That's nuts! It's pure price gouging. This situation has allowed us to discover which dealerships are unscrupulous. Smithfield Toyota in RI has $20,000 markups on TRD Pros. I buy a lot of vehicles and I've permanently crossed them off my list of dealerships that I'll do business with. We all need to remember who these dealerships are. This too shall pass and when things get back to normal, hopefully these greedy dealerships will be remembered and lose a lot of money.

Toyota of Smithfield in RI not only has a $20,000 scam price markup on its lunar Rock PRO, but if you try to utilize the online buying process to put together a deal, it forces you to select a 7.49% financing rate when local credit unions are offering 2.49% in the area. That's a nice financing kickback.

Supply is low and demand is high, plus free helicopter money for everyone. I’m an asm at a Toyota dealer in SoCal. There’s usually 400+ cars on the lot for sale, they currently have about 50. If it’s an option, you all should wait it out at least 6months for more vehicles to be available.

IMO, quit blaming COVID on ___insert whatever___ BS price mark up… Start of COVID ran out of TP = people went nuts. Mid COVID x, y, z is more expensive due to x, y, z reason that was shomehow COVID related… and on and on and on… maybe a solution, consumers quit buying at blame it on COVID increased prices = prices normalize. Yes, that is a combination of macro and micro economics, but as long as we push the demand, sellers will keep pushing the price. Find your comfort point vs. your personal want/demand and decide if you are willing to go greater than what x is really worth or wait.
 
Just found this older thread. Prices still high. My story; Knew I was moving to Idaho from Commiefornia last April. Wanted a 4R so in May I called dealer near where I was moving to. They, of course, had no 4Rs, but thought they might get an allocation in the FUTURE.

I negotiated a price on a 21 ORP with KDSS. They gave me a price $300 OFF MSRP. Still an inflated price, but I gave them a $1000 down on a 4R that had not been built yet. To shorten the rest of the story I finally took delivery Aug. 15. BTW the dealer's lot was basically empty when I picked up my 4R.

Inflation is caused not just by money printing, but by POOR POLICY that increased/doubled the price of energy which is embedded in the cost of every single product to varying degrees. AND its going to get worse.

Cheers
 
The price rises are significant these past few years as well. Good thing I bought some Bitcoin and Ethereum back then. Good lord.
 
Just picked up a Lime Rush TRD Pro at MSRP from Burdick Toyota (Thank You Frank!). Its crazy to think that paying MSRP is a good deal but its the times we are in now and it was the easiest buying experience ever for me. They didnt try any sleezy sales tactic: no extended warranty, no unwanted packages, or any bs financing scams. I would take a drive up there again if I purchase another Toyota.
 
My 2022 is $48700 for orp that includes $2000 markup. It is optioned well but dealer has 3 orp coming in the next month and a pretty empty lot. If you want one you have to pay right now. I chose to buy now only to avoid getting a first year redesign model 23. If it keeps going I will easily get my money back on the back end. If the bubble burst I will lose money but I intend to keep this for the long haul. Can't take it with you right lol
