I pulled the trigger yesterday and bought in Columbia, SC. I want to thank people here for posting so I had an idea of what people were paying. So, I bought a SR5 Premium 4wd with the XP Predator Package, Sunroof, crossbars, all weather mats. The dealer did his add ons of the window tint, pinstripe, door edge guards, etc.
Original MSRP: 45,841
MSRP after Dealer Markup 47,642
Dealer Price: 38,950 (Before TTL)
Final Price: 39,500 (Including TTL
Negotiated for 2 days via email with dealers in NC and SC. Got the lowest offer in Charlotte, NC and then drove five minutes to my local dealer, who had a similar car I wanted and they beat it by $800. It also saved me about 4 hours of driving on a Saturday. Don't think I got a great deal but none of the guys were offering deep discounts most stuck in the $41k range. My wife is happy since it is hers so I guess that is what counts.
