How much under MSRP?

Yeah, I got $24,500 on my trade. Had another closer dealership offer me $28k on a used '19 OR and said they would probably offer me closer to $30k for my Hyundai on a new one. But between January and March they never got any allocations for the truck I wanted (OR in Silver) and then another dealership I had previously contacted got that allocation in with a 03/29 build date, but I could only get them to come up to the $24,500 (originally offered me $22k).

I just didn't want to risk waiting for that other dealership...lol. But of course right after I got it, gas prices went to shit, so sorry I caused that guys.

 

bought mine in feb 2020.

msrp was 42k and got it for 36.5k

 

I paid $36,500 out the door for my 2016 TRD OR. 62,500 miles so far

 

Before Covid, the Costco Auto price was $500 over invoice price. I'm sure there were a lot of deals at invoice price. Just depends on the options as to how much lower invoice is than MSRP.

 

Right now you’re just lucky to find a dealer who will sell you at MSRP and doesn’t try to gouge you.

 

I was able to purchase my 2021 TRD OR with premium/advanced tech in March 2021 for $3K off MSRP. New car inventories were low, but factories had just started ramping up again at the end of 2020. It was also right before the chip shortage became more pronounced and the used car market took off.

 

I got mine in 2018. 2018 TRD OR MSRP 38k, paid 34k. I’m in the Bay Area in California.

 

Just wait. In 2008 when gas prices spiked and the economy tanked, NOBODY wanted a truck.

I picked up a base Ram for 15K out the door. MSRP was 22. After trade I paid 9 and change for it. Drove that thing for 8 years before it started developing electrical gremlins. Sure, the gas bill sucked for about a year, but in the end I won on that bargain.


So I'm waiting. Most of the ingredients for a good deal are coming soon. Once people stop buying trucks, there will be bargains.

 

2019 TRD OR AC: -$4300
2018 4Runner Limited: -$4100

Knock on wood, I hope to keep these for 15-20 years.

 

Yeah, was able to order mine in jan of 2020 for 3k under msrp, plus the $1500 factory rebate. Was always able to buy a toyota pickup for under msrp. Just unheard of not to.

 

June 2020 msrp 38,818 , paid 32,506 and got a 300 gas card for the road trip home

 

Depends to back then what dealers had on their lots. I've gotten some great deals on toyota trucks in the past if buying off their stock. Didn't want to but no one had an sr5 access cab in quicksand in the east. Dealers were going out of their way to buy something in stock which was very tempting, but being up in age now i told myself i was going to get exactly what i wanted this time.

 

I hear ya, but where will the trucks come from?

 

2020 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab V6 5’ Bed 2wd with some additional dealer add ons purchased at the end of December 2019. Got around $6k off sticker and walked out for $31,995 total including tax, tag, title and getting new plates put on the truck.

 

4.5K below MSRP in November 2020

4x4 OR Advanced Tech and Premium package

 

The auto industry goes in cycles. I am waiting for “Cash for Clunkers” to come back.

The same will apply to the housing market soon. When it crashes, I'll swoop in to buy a 2nd property for half the price it once was. Then rent it out or flip it.

 

The cars & trucks will come from all the repossessions that will start occurring. A lot of owners are upside down on their vehicles. They financed too much (and probably got a shitty interest rate).

 

I think that is coming too, all pickup trucks are going to plummet in value. The people paying sky high prices today for used ones are really going to end up under water.

 

Bought mine new in 2019 it has all the packages price was $44,700 I paid $36,000 but I’m a serious haggler plus the lot was full of all varieties of Tacomas. Pro was going for a tad under $50 at the time.
