I'm in the market for a 2021 White ORP with KDSS with no other options/accessories.
TLDR: Dealer may cave to $43,000 (or $43,800) minus trade in plus doc fees/taxes. Is this decent, given the times?
First post, long story:
Dealer 1: Had one on the way but with lots of other options like moonroof, running boards, Pro wheels, AW mats ($45000) Didn't want to pay all that extra so i asked to order to my liking. Apparently Toyota doesn't let you order and I could only buy what they make. So I asked why the builder exists on the website. Dodged that question. Left after they wouldn't order anything for me to my specs. My last words are I bet you i can find someone to build me something.
Dealer 2: nothing in inventory. Said they could do a locate and would not negotiate pricing. I left immediately. **** those guys.
Dealer 3: Agreed to build from factory. offered it to me for $43,725 before taxes. They show me the price list with all this garbage tacked on and the grand total was $57,000. :wtf: Told them to take that off immediately and they said that this is standard procedure for all their vehicles. (Nitrogen in tires, ceramic coating on paint plus paint protection film, tire insurance, window etching, gap insurance, etc etc.) They eventually caved to $43,725 plus dealer fees/doc fees which were for some reason, split into two itemized prices at $699 and $400. Called them out on that and said i have never paid more than $600 in my life. They would not budge.
Went back to dealer 1 and said to beat $43,000 with an order from the factory. They said they think they can beat it (or match it) Doc fees $599 plus taxes.
My evo X trade in will knock it down so taxes are going to be a 1/3 vs full tax.
Looking back at the Dealer 1's offering of $45000 with extras, that could be worth it.
