What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

Right, we need to start our "speculation" thread on 2021 Tacoma. We had enough time to "chew" 2020 model during the quarantine

 

I guess it will depend on how many parts have been produced and if there are any changes in 2021.

 

Interesting data here....

Did Kendall charge you any tax on your purchase or did they waive it since the truck was going to be registered in CA? Just curious how the tax works for an out of state buyer as I'm also in CA.

 

Yep. Ranger and Gladiator Sales up 100's and 1000's of percents. While Tacoma sales down.

 

Well, not surprisingly, the truck I ordered (loaded Cement OR 6MT) had its build date pushed back again. It was pushed back already to 5/5 and now they are saying 7/8 at least. Starting to push into 2021 territory at that point. Other than the strange Trail Edition, was there going to be any updates in 2021 that we know of?

I know it is definitely a first world problem, but hard seeing these great incentives and not knowing if I'll be able to take advantage of them. I suppose I should be glad I'm in a position where I can still afford to get a new truck, given the current situation many people are in, but I'll be sad if I end up missing out on saving close to $2K.

 

I’m flying up NorCal tomorrow to pick mine up but I’ve read that the owners manual says to avoid driving at constant speeds for an extended time during the break in period. What are y’all planning to do for the drive back? Sorry if this is the wrong thread for this question.

 

The idea is not to just sit in the exact same rev range the entire time. DO NOT just put it in cruise and let it drone at the same speed/rpm for hours. Vary your speeds while you are driving and you can also maybe shift around a bit between 4-5-6 every so often to get a nice variety of RPMs to put the engine through. Might not even be a bad idea to occasionally pull off on an off ramp, come to a complete stop, then go right back on again.

 

East coast Canada relocating to West coast in a couple of months. I currently drive an 03 TRD Off Road limited, but its more of a toy and looking for something newer to drive out etc. Came across a 3rd gen 2016 TRD Off Road access cab, in great condition, with the only downside of it having 250k kilometres. I can get a really good trade value on my 03 and will end up financing at a rate WELL within my budget with the cost of the truck at 21k CAD.

It feels like the right deal, mechanically and cosmetically the truck is the nicest 3rd gen I've looked at so far in my search, but only thing holding me back atm is the mileage. Carfax came out clean, just so many damn miles on it. At the same time, I figure for that price, if something goes on it, its not really a big deal to replace etc. What do you guys think? Still trying to learn about 3rd gens and how long they last. Any help or input is appreciated.

Cheers

 

Very close to what I got in early April in Austin, TX. I was just reading yesterday that truck inventory has been going down rapidly, however, the plants are opening up in mid May.

 

2020 Pro. 4500 under sticker after beating up the salesman for over a day. I was relentless.

All the dealers by me won't budge on the Pros. Big money off on Sports and Off Roads though. 6500ish by me.

 

Thanks TacoBuffet and everyone anwering to my question. Looks like I have to find something close to it at a dealer lot. Must be nice living anywhere other than California. Looks like all dealers here in California will not discount more than 6-7% off MSRPS with 0% finance. And especially on a Cement color they want either MSRP or only discounting $1,000. All dealers explaination is with shortage on Tacoma especially TRD (OR) they cannot offer crazy discount. Should I wait for more trucks to release once Factory reopen and hope to get a good disount like 10-11% with 0%. Or do you think 0% will end by than ? What you guys think ? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance to TACOMAWORLD

 

$4,500 under sticker? or $4,500 under MSRP?

 

My exact situation was...

51800ish sticker plus tax tag fees etc which would have been around $4500. Taxes alone is $3700. I offered $52k out the door and I wanted 2k for my ford f150 with boom value was 500-1200. I'd be lucky to get 2k for it. So $50k out the door and with my transferring the tag from my truck which is a few hundred cheaper than a full new tag in Florida. And any accessory i wanted at dealer cost.

Company car. They pay the monthly bill not me lol. But the quicker its paid off the quicker I can get another.

 

Florida is just as bad. No cash back incentives from Toyota and the dealers aren’t budging much at all. I am thinking like you and wondering if I need to wait for more inventory or maybe even order one

 

Which dealer in Florida did you go with?

 

Same here S. California. Even that out of all dealers only 2 dealers that offered 6-7% off MSRP. Other wanted MSRP or discounted only $500-$1,000. Seriously Wow Wow Wow. Maybe a used market will depreciate and can get a good deal on 2018 or 2019. For now Im rethinking and just drive my 07 few thousand miles longer. Sucks

 

Ya I was prepared to fly somewhere. Its bad. I searched high and low. I wanted a MGM Pro with certain specs. The only place I found that would budge on Pros was Melbourne Toyota. Ask for Ben... he's a car guy and a cool dude. They gave decent pricing on other trims.

The best pricing for any other trim besides a pro was Earl Stewart down in Lake Park. Ask for Steven. Great guy, no pressure. Almost went with a TRD off road but wanted the pro and they wouldn't budge much on price.

The biggest thing I saw with these dealers were the stupid fees and dumb dealer money maker add ons. Absolutely ridiculous.

 

Just gorgeous !!!! Okay now im thinking maybe I should just take the 6-7% and get into a tacoma

 

Also the southeast distribution center is absolutely out of control with their additional over priced add ons. If its not the dealership themselves, its the distribution center. Totyota should really do something about it. You take an already overpriced PRO (IMO) thats around 45-46 and suddenly at 50k+. Crazy.

Also for me to get the price I did, I couldn't use the Toyota financing. Can't double dip I guess.
