Some Dealers and their funny games...

Stopped by Toyota dealer here in DFW metroplex to check out a 16 DCSB 4x4 Texas edition I spotted from the road, just to kind of stick my nose around it since I am somewhat interested in them. I took one look at the sticker and damn near fell on my ass laughing.

Sticker 36k

Add ons:

Tint 299
Paint protection 299
LoJack 599
Pinstripe 299

New price: 39,500


The hell kind of math is that?! And to top it off, the damn truck didn't even have pin stripes!

Salesman said they won't budge on the price one single penny since these trucks are considered "premium trucks for a cheap price and will sell themselves no matter the price"

Just hopped back in my taco and drove off shaking my head...

 

Wow that actually is a pretty good deal for Dallas. There are a few other threads I have commented on about the price gouging here in the DFW area. I bought mine from Rockwall Toyota and they were awesome .... I paid MSRP, but it came with a "green" package from the dealership that included tinting, nitro in tires, wheel locks etc. I never owned a Toyota because of the dealerships in DFW and their bad reputation for price gouging and bait and switch techniques.

Absolutely love my Taco .... 6200 miles and a consistent 16 mpg. Wish mileage wss higher but it is what it is.

 

299 for tint. Should be 125
299 for pinstripes. Roll cost 12.50
Paint protection meaning wax lol.

Wow

 

Wow 300 for tint? Must be pretty good .... and thick!

 

I just paid $85 to have both front windows tinted

 

Please ask them to show you the paint protection process being applied. I want to see it happen because I don't think they even put wax on it.

Also, tell them they are committing fraud by charging for a pin stripe when there is no pin stripe

 

The Texas Edition baffles me.

 

You mean paying 3000 dollars for wheels, tires, and tube steps when the distributor KEEPS your original wheels and tires which people on here easily sell for around 900-1200 dollars?

lol

 

That's cheap, where at?

 

A local custom shop in NJ. Monmouth County

 

That's south jersey?

 

Didn't think ANYone would care for pinstripes on a truck anymore....

 

Me either, my taste says pinstripes is soooo 80's

 

No, it is really central NJ. Not far from Great Adventure

 

Doesn't Texas and Mississippi both fall under GST? Other than the math they gave you not adding up to $39.5k, our area is getting $500 rebates on 3rd gen Tacomas and has been for a while...

ON EDIT:

Pasted below is the deal I was thinking of...and Texas is in GST. Guess the dealer didn't want to sell you a truck OR he's thinking he's going to get more. I just can't see Toyota offering it on a unit that it doesn't need to offer it on....

Off Toyota.com inventory search.

Still far far me lol. I'm in Morris country.

Texas tries to pile on the price with their Texas Edition and TSS trucks smacked on to an SR5 package. Silly, IMO.

 

$500 for window tint ?!!?!?!

 

299 for tint isn't too horrible around here but it depends on the tint. I am looking at about 250-350
