    My '16 TRD OR ended up being the same price as they were selling the '15 the month before.

    Had a dealer send me an invoice for a truck he claimed he had in stock and to "come on down" and we would make a deal. Went to the dealership and no truck. Salesmen said it was in service at the dealership getting prepared to be put out for test drives. I asked to go look at it and was told insurance regulations don't allow customers in service area. While they were looking at my trade I checked inventory at another dealer and found the same truck (same VIN) at another dealer in the area. Called. Salesmen told me it was on his lot and he had the keys in his hand. I asked him to take a pic with his cellphone which he did. Salesmen from first dealer returned with sales manager told me the truck would be ready tomorrow. I showed them the inventory and pic from the second dealer. Literally their eyes looked like a deers eyes caught in the headlights. I grabbed my keys and told them I don't make deals with liars and walked out. 20 minutes later dealership manager called. Told me he was sorry for the mistake and if I went back he promised me a great deal. I said no thanks. Went to second dealer and purchased truck. Drove it off the lot that day exactly what I wanted. Boch Toyota Norwood MA shame on you.

    I had that happen once. But they tried to add 9000 to the MSRP and the truck at the other dealership was already sold and I knew it. Then they wanted to order me one for only 3000 over.

    How much did you buy it for at the other place?

    Ordered inferno DC 4x4 TRD OR a month ago still waiting. Anyways I plan on financing about 20 percent of the purchase. The sales rep offered me dealership financing and told me if my credit was good I would qualify for a 4.9 interest rate. He comes back and tries to tell my credit is average/poor but he'll hook me up with the 4.9 rate because the dealership is super awesome and will honor their quote. I put the deposit on the truck and tell him we'll settle the details once I see the truck. Not sure of my exact credit but knowing my debt/income is good I drove strait to my credit union where my credit score miraculously is perceived as excellent and I qualify for 1.49 percent. So A they didn't run my credit and just try fist me or B they straight up lied and tried to fist me without even spitting on it!

    Because they have that on the lot. Most sales people don't care about selling something tomorrow.... They only care about today
