Nice you were able to get one that is allocated. I hope you got a good deal. That short delivery time is worth something and being F-ing done with shopping is worth a lot.

yeah, buying a 'special' Toyota sucks

It's a shit load of money but it's only 700-800 more than we would pay to wait, wait, wait, and more wait. They actually have this vehicle allocated to them. It was exactly what I wanted except for the stupid exhaust tip....

I have to thank @HalfWayThere for his continued support when trying to get me a deal in Sunnyvale. He actually made them feel so bad that they offered me his sweet deal. I am thankful for the chats we had about who was doing what, where, and to who.

I'll be jealous when you are driving your truck and I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting...

Glad to (try to) help. Too bad the Sunnyvale thing didn't work out, but it was an adventure.

Note to others: The salesperson at Sunnyvale has made it very clear that the deal I got was not available anymore. I think he felt bad about Z50king's situation (Recap: I was told other people could have the deal, Z50king called but the GM had shut down the deal already) so he got the GM to make an exception for Z50king.

Good luck everyone. This thread was very helpful to me, let's keep helping each other out. Information is power.

So my wife is getting tired of hearing about the potential truck and calling so many dealers just to find bullshit from them trying to get us to enter their property. She was on the phone on her prep period today and decided to chat with the internet department at Toyota of the Desert, in Cathedral City. She's had some wild hair thoughts about this place for the last month and kept saying, "Maybe they have trucks int he desert. Maybe they'll have them out there." I wrote it off as she just thinking of where she grew up too much. She started chatting with them while on her phone call and the internet dept offered 500 under msrp. They said we may have better luck if we come in to speak with them in person.

My wife and I work across the street from each other so she called and asked if I wanted to go out there tonight. We left school at 3:20 and arrived there around 6:15. Traffic goes that way and it was 100 mile drive. We got there and I the internet department dealt with us. I have never had the internet department act as sales people before. Usually they are just there to get you in the door and then hand you off to a sales person. We dealt with the internet sales lady and her manager. I thought this was strange. They offered us 500 under msrp, we countered about a 1000 under/over because they pretty much match. They said we can only do 500 under and we won't charge you the TDA fee. I don't know if they usually do or don't, but I wasn't planning on paying them to advertise. My wife and I spoke, we talked to them about my trade in, which is a piece of shit that will sit on Craigslist for a few months and probably not sell for 1000 dollars. They will give us 500 to 700. We didn't drive it there so they will assess when we get there.

So, to rationalize our purchase, my wife starts talking about the difference between this and the Merced or Sunnyvale deal. We would have saved 700-800 dollars. We would have to driver her car up there so both names are on the paperwork, get a room for the night, food, other crap, and drive the truck home. We estimated that would cost us around 400 bucks to make it worth our time. Then there is the prospect of not getting a truck for 6 months. My wife really wants this truck shit done with but she put up a good fight in the dealership.

We agreed to a final vehicle price of 35,689 for
7568 DCLB OR V6 4x4 (very rare build in this region)
Super White
Tow Package
Carpet Floor Mats
Exhaust Tip

They used a similar truck to get a final OTD price, it was DCSB 4x4 OR they had on the lot
370 registration and title
9 govt fee
80 document fee
3212 LA County Tax

39358 OTD
less 500 deposit
less 500-600 trade in value
so about 38400 to drive off the lot.

We have more than half of this saved and the rest is being funded by Schools First Credit Union at 1.42% for 60 months. A few weeks ago, they gave me a 60 day authorization which will probably run out before the truck arrives. I will go back to get new credit authorization a few days before it comes in. They also do cheap refinancing work, as well. We got our car interest rate taken down a point to 1.6%.

I still have no idea why my wife called Toyota of the Desert. They just happened to have the one we wanted not already sold. They also had a 7568 with the same specs on hold for someone in Silver. I find it crazy that they were allocated 2 of the most rare build. There are only 15 7568-non-FP coming into this region each month. How many of those are white?

Toyota of the Desert in Cathedral City will do MSRP if you walk onto the lot and will do 500 under MSRP if you email their internet department. They told me to tell you guys.

We had some real shit-holes try and dupe us around the area. One got us in the dealership only to have me tell them that the truck they were trying to sell me was already sold at the other dealership they planned to trade with. But then they offered to sell me the Sport model on the roof for the same price of 8000 over msrp. That was the worst but not the only dupe dupe

Most credit unions will allow you to refinance the car as a new car as long as it has under 5,000 to 7000 miles on it and it is at least 2 to 3 years recent model year (2014, 2015, or 2016). No time limit and no penalty in APR.

I totally agree with you and your wife, I have wasted so much time trying to find the right deal. If you figure out how many hours of research you have done over the weeks, it kinda opens your eyes how much time was a waste. I could of been doing something else and being productive. That being said, the best I could do up in Norcal was 500 under MRSP and yes there were two dealers willing to sell me a vehicle off their lot. But, this was for either an SR5 Access cab 2wd or a TRD Sport 2wd, in white, MGM or silver. I did promise my wife I would not purchase anything till next year, hopefully it will be in my favor then!

Have fun with your new toy!

We have a 2012 Honda Civic with 20k miles. That doens't fit those requirements but they still gave us the refinance. The Tacoma we are buying is getting 1.42%, so it's a little less.

We, mostly I, had our/my mind set on a 7568 in white. We/I would not buy a short bed for a 2 wheel drive. This is a truck and this is America! haha

I still can't believe this dealership was allocated two 7568s at the same time.

Finance with dealer to get the best deal and rebates then after they make their profit whether it's 3 weeks or 3 months refinance with your bank. Sometimes they don't get their pay if you refinance too early just ask them once you've wrapped up the deal so you know how long you have to keep it with them ...it would be helping them out.

I'm glad you were able to find the truck you want and the hunt is over.

The wife and I are getting to the point where i might just drop the 38k for the 7542. That's without TTL so i might be paying 40k for a truck so that's kinda deterring me. No dealers are getting Barcelona Red for some reason and this is the first one the dealer has found. decisions decisions

For a Sport? Does it have FP tech package or something? I hope so. We would not have ordered for 500 under MSRP. We only plan to buy this one because it's arriving soon

There are Sports all over down here. We see them at almost every dealership. It's usually hard to get a deal when they trade, but the high end Sports don't seem too popular around here. You should be good

The sport isn't the problem. Getting them in Barcelona Red is though. I really don't want to settle for another color. If I'm gonna spend this much money I want it in red

By the time it comes in and you spend all of the effort searching, maybe easier to negotiate via email/phone, put deposit down and then take a cheap one way flight to the dealer, get what you want and road trip back home. Just make sure you have all of the details nailed down before making the trip. There's a sales manager here doing great things for customers at Riverview Toyota in Mesa AZ. Maybe he can find something for you. I'd really suggest giving him a call. He can also help you find what you're looking for in the western region. Plus by then you'll avoid getting ripped off for CA pricing.

I have thought the same but with the price this dealer is giving me its actually around 1k over invoice. By the time i find one in another state and the cost it'll take me out there might as well pay CA prices.

1000 over invoice is around 1000 under MSRP. That's one of the things that made us take the 500 under. It was only 800 dollars more after taxes from the 750 over we were offered.

Just got home with a TRD OFF ROAD 4x4 with Premium & Tech package with JBL, Tonneau cover, Tow package. Got a few dollars off equal to about a Tonneau cover.

Had a less optioned on order for late December delivery, but someone pulled out of a deal and got a call to come and check out the truck if interested

Pics tomorrow for my five minutes of fame.

Celebratory music!!

Good work. So about 600 off msrp? What dealership??

I can only imagine the OTD price for a JBL OR... 43K??

Sorry, I original made this a downer like I always do when it comes to money... I learned my lesson a few years ago when a student got into a great college and the first thing I said was "that's gonna be expensive...." I'll never do that again
