What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

I got 3.0% (1% discount for 800 plus CS and .25% discount for auto-pay) on 72 months at my local CU AND the $1500 "rebate"

 

I think the conversion is off a little, lol

 

Maita Toyota in Sacramento, CA was marking up a TRD Off-road with just a tech package (no accessories) for +$7k over MSRP. salesman said if I came in that day he can knock a couple of hundred off that markup.

looks like I’ll be waiting this one out for another year or so.

 

Maita’s got a reputation for being stupid with prices, even before the shortage. When I was shopping in May I gave them an offer around 10% off MSRP for an SR5. They told me we weren’t anywhere close on price and showed me the door. I just went down to Redwood City and got the deal without even trying.

 

I lost the Sky silver one, they were not able to get it.
They asked me about other colors than the 3 I like most and would I think about ordering if he could get anything coming in with in a few weeks.

Then came back and told me Tuesday afternoon that he had found a dealership with a cement grey on inbound but it looked to be reserved maybe. It just so happens that Tuesday afternoon the dealership with the Cement SR5 incoming called them and wanted to swap for a vehicle that they had on the lot. They were able to get the cement SR5 in trade. I just learned yesterday it's expected to arrive between the 27th and 29th at the original dealership it was to go to, that's this coming week. Then it's gets transferred. It's got one or two less accessories but will be the same discount price we agreed on. I'm having them add bed lights to it before I pick it up.
I'd say it did work out a little bit sweeter as I really wanted Cement.

 

So happy for you ! This being your first new car, this is awesome. It will be that much sweeter that you get it in the color you want !

 

I just drove up to NC to pick this up yesterday. Sitting looking at it through the window of the breakfast place. One of the last three TRD Off Roads on the lot and the only Long Tom. Paid just a hair under $38k with dealer fees, SC $500 capped tax and title paperwork. Prices are at all time highs but I'm mid 40s and tired of not having the things I want. I transfered tags from my GMC 4x4 which he gave me about 4-5% less than I could have gotten on AT if I had been patient (by which time I wouldnt have gotten the truck I wanted and he knocked some off the new Taco so I didnt care)

 

I'm very excited too. In a way it's sad because I'm going to be selling my Liberty that I had for so long but I do think it's time for something new. I'm on a camping trip now and I just realized on thing I won't need to deal with and that's waiting for someone to move away from the only diesel pump with their Gasser.

 

Oh that’s interesting, thanks!

 

OTD is useless, too many varying factors, I don't know why people insist on even discussing this, it should only be price of new truck after discounts for comparison.

 

OTD is useless because of the variance in sales tax. Final sale price minus- Sales tax is a number that is comparable from region to region, yet still captures all the made up fees.

If you trade in or put cash down, you need to add that to the number above.

 

Huh? You’re confused. Financing 90% of a $40,000 vehicle would mean that you’re borrowing and making payments on $36,000. You would be putting $4000 down.
Many people do this. There are plenty of people who put almost nothing down. I personally don’t think that’s a good idea but to each their own.

 

People not listening their trade in as part of the deal really screws things up too. If you get fleeced on your trade-in they’ll give you any discount you want. I guarantee there’s a good number of posts on this thread that this would be the case with.
We just bought a Honda accord for my wife so I was looking at the accord what did you pay threads. they have a template that everybody uses and supposedly if you don’t put all the information in the template then your post gets taken down. They also have a thread for strictly this template and no conversation and then they also have one for what did you pay with conversation.
The good thing about the Tacoma world thread is that there is a new one each year where as I’ve noticed others are just continuous and also we have a LOT more posts than the Accord threads.
They don’t have MSRP but that is because they don’t have different options available on a trim. Each trim has the options it has and that’s it there’s no changing anything so the MSRP is the same for all vehicles of that trim.

Agree 110 percent. There was a spreadsheet that someone started that was close to what you describe. I started a SR/SR5 pricing thread since they are scarce on here.
What you have described above would be great, need a moderator though (who I am afraid would be quite busy with the delete button). I especially like the part about getting fleeced on the trade, I have said that a few times myself on here, they will give you whatever you want for your trade as long as you pay whatever they want to charge you for the truck, they find your hot button and cater to it and make it up elsewhere. Sales 101.

 

Damn....at least they're charging MSRP here in NJ and I think that's bad already!

Thank you!! Saw something I like. But not sure how much of a discount they'll willing to give. Since they're only 1.5 hours away, maybe I'll take a drive down this wkend to explore the area and check out the truck in person. But if they aren't willing to play ball (I'm looking for a 10% discount), I think I'll be forced to wait until 2021.

 

totally agree with you. It blows my mind that the average car payment these days is $500-$600 dollars a month for +6 years. In my mind, that’s not normal.

It blows my mind even more that some folks are buying Tacoma’s right now at MSRP+

maybe I’m crazy and/or I’m just that poor to not be able to afford this haha.

 

The best way to buy a vehicle is loan yourself money from your 401k or other retirement plan. Why pay a bank 4% when you can pay the interest to yourself? The payments get automatically deducted from your paycheck so you dont even have to worry about that. Plus if you lose your job and have to default, the loan is not connected to the vehicle in any way. You just go to the dealer and pay him cash with the money from your 401k. If you do have to default you just pay taxes and early withdrawl penalty on the remaining principal of the loan as if you had just taken an early cash withdrawl. Talk to your retirement plan manager.

 

You aren't crazy a 600$ car payment is like almost a mortgage payment or rent. . It's crazy. What is crazy is people buy them and trade them and loose money on them. Then finance negative equity.

I seen the writing on the wall. I wanted a newer or new vehicle so I started to save car payment money while my 2006 Jeep was still running good. Actually I could keep it but 11 years of ownership, I feel like it's had a good run even with a major failure. I just wanted out while I can still sell it for more then scrap metal.

I'm going to put so much down that I'll have payments like I bought a Corolla on mine. I can stomach under $400 a month for 60 months. Better than $600+ for 72.
