How well did I do? Should I have pushed for under MSRP?

Edited.

Is MSRP still a good deal on a new tacoma or should I have pushed for more off?

 

Ok

 

I know. Huge rant. Coffee hit my brain while I was typing this and things just went south from there.

 

It seems like you drove and made $$ on each trade. Good job!

now you have a black truck you will like the paint but need to do paint upkeep, wash. Wax, paint sealer, undercoating (if near salt) . It’ll show any swirls and scratches BUT the reward will be well worth it, I think. Good luck and great negotiations

 

Awesome thank you.

All of it was unintentional and my bad luck somehow stumbled me into good luck.

 

I didn't read Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and I'm not going to read OP's lengthy art of the deal manifesto either! But I assume he is second guessing the deal he made. If true, stop doing that OP!

 

Better deal than buying a hot Ford Raptor.

“Hello sir would you like to purchase this 2023 F150 Raptor for $5,000”

 

As in is MSRP still a fair price of has the market shifted and I should have negotiated under.

 

Thank you as long as I didn't get fleeced

 

I've never paid msrp....on anything thats a big ticket item. I would walk away first.

 

You certainly ask some interesting questions after the party is over.

 

Take look at why my local dealership is asking for a TRD Sport 4x4 with an advanced tech package. It will make you feel better lol.

 

Holy shit lol

 

But you get free car washes...

 

2020, but getting close to nailing down a new prius. We keep our vehicles well over 10 years, never paying sticker price.

 

And your actions plan if you did was?

 

I think the post was a veiled brag looking for further affirmation of people chiming in and congratulating on a series of what the OP perceives to be good financial moves.

For whatever reason he was doubting himself this am on the “toilet” and decided to post said masterpiece.

 

You're right. Makes all the difference.

 

Buying a new vehicle isn't the greatest financial move.
