Things are a changing!

Here’s a snippet from an email that a local Toyota dealer just sent me.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS. WE HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT YEAR. WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO THE BIGGEST SALE WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. WE HAVE DISCOUNTS ON TUNDRA AS HIGH AS $7,992 OFF MSRP, HIGHLANDER $7,616 OFF MSRP, TACOMA $5,391 OFF MSRP, AND MANY MORE.

Haven’t seen discounts like this in quite awhile. Perhaps life will return to normal in 2023?

 

Pics or it never happened.

 

Likely in stock 22 models.

Dealers like to claim these are savings, but they are really just models losing value on the lot.

In stock tundras are fairly rare around here though!

 

Price of used vehicles have been dropping due to rising interest rates to but them, so its no surprise that new ones are to.

 

Link to the dealer.

 

Sink and hook...

 

“Oh sorry, those were in stock models only, they’re all gone. We can put your name on one coming in, step right in, let’s get some paperwork going.”

 

But I don’t want a Tundra or Highlander!

 

I'm impatiently waiting for my 23 Tacoma TRD Pro to arrive.

Found a trail edition an hour away. They offered me basically MSRP ($500 off plus $479 doc fee) at $45,500 otd.
I offered them $42,000 otd last night. They declined, no counter. Must have met their quota.

Pro should be in Jan 16-18. I already have #'s and a deposit on it.

 

Nice. Just stay patient as the pro will keep its value more!

 

$45,500 seems high for a TE granted some of that is tax of course. Pro is worth it way more as others said.

 

What have you seen as far as issues go on the new tundras? Any pattern failures yet?

 

We are a massive dealer and I’d guess we sold 200, we simply haven’t sold enough to see any problems.

So far noise complaints due to aero issues and a handful of update campaigns.

I like them but they are a luxury for sure.

 

Yep, prices of ocean front property out here in Arizona area are dropping also.

 

I've only seen a handful of 3G Tundras at my dealer, mostly Limited, one with OR trim on top of that. One SR dbl cab.
Then in the last 2-3 weeks I've seen 2 Capstones lol!

 

The cap stone is bonkers but I’d still take a limited dodge ram haha. The trim is just awkward and laid out poorly for me.

I hope this tundra is going to evolve more once they get it rolling, it needs to stay competitive this time round.

 

It has parking sonar, premium audio & nav at $1710 plus tech pkg @ $600.
then the port added door edge/cup guards for $199 and a couple of phone cords for $73.
As an added bonus in the southeast we are forced to buy 2 oil changes (toyoguard platinum) for $699.
None of the above are wanted in my case.
Sales tax in SC caps at $500.

 

It's about a month late so it is getting more difficult!
It needs to. I can't believe what I'm paying for a Tacoma!!

 

Was that a spam post ?! Where is op

 

I’d be curious to know if the above discounts are off the factory sticker or what the dealer might refer to as MSRP including additional dealer markup. That being said, if anyone does buy a Tacoma at $5391 off the factory sticker, please let us know.
