That's a whole lot of shenanigans to go through.
What was MSRP when new for you 2016?
When I was shopping last month for a used one with low miles, it was pretty close to MSRP and dealers were not willing to deal. I felt did not make sense to buy used one with low miles.
So I began looking at new ones. Most dealers gave $2000 to $2500 off MSRP and they felt like they were giving me some kind of super deal :yawn:
I emailed Freeman Toyota and they have $4000 off MSRP right away. I used that offer to negotiate with local dealers again. Some local dealers thought I was making it up or told me they couldn't match their offer. Then two dealers changed their mind and began negotiating again.
One dealer matched $4000 off and couldn't do any better.
Another dealer gave me $4274 off so I went with them.
MSRP $41274
Selling price $37000 before TTL.
I still came in under MSRP with TTL.
I wanted to get $5000 to $6500 off MSRP like a lot of people in Florida but I don't think that is possible in California.
I'd say you got it pretty solid. I couldn't get any California, Arizona, or Utah dealers to budge on anything- and I was shopping used!
Not sure of the original sticker on this one- bought mine certified pre-owned. I know the KBB trade-in value with its specs and mileage was $35K (Trail Premium, KDSS, sunroof, plain cargo, 16K miles). I wanted a gently used truck, but no one would quote me lower than $40K in a 500 mile radius. Absolutely bonkers. That's why I was happy to snap this one up for $1K over trade-in. The 100K mile warranty and brand new tires were what sealed the deal. Great experience at the dealer as well. Ron Tonkin Toyota and my sales guy was Willy Maddox.
