How much savings should I expect for buying last years model?

Dealer has a 2012 TRD DC 4x
Read somewhere expect $500 per $10,000 for depreciation and toyota discount to dealer to move it
Sales price $33,278
That's $1,500 on top normal negotiation
So, what's a reasonable offer?
$29,000?
May buy today! Thanks for your help!

 

what ? 29,000 will get a new MSRP 33,278 with stiff negotiation

28,500 is reasonable and 28,000 possible

 

33,278
1,500 minus
31,778 price based on age
3,778 negotiate
28,000 sales price

Me likey. I seems like $3k is the going rate of discount as of late in 2013's. anyone else have an opinion? Heck, it's the last day of the month and they have a few 2012's on the lot.

 

just call and email a dozen dealers and see what you can
get it down to before they demand you come in a talk more...

then go back to the one you want, and say no way man, I know i can get XYZ...

 

your final price has less to do with facts and figures than it does with old fashioned haggling. so if your dealing with a car salesman, you had better be at the top of your game!

 

It also depends on geography. You would not see discounts that deep in the Pac NW.

 

Dealer wants to get rid of the 2012s, so you are in control. Make a firm offer of no more than $28k and be ready to walk out the door if they can't meet that (even if you just pretend to walk out). They will quickly make their adjustments if they see you are leaving and they know they can come down more.
Also, don't fall for the "end of the month" sales trick. End of the month is their problem, not yours.

 

This! I was emailing back and forth between 3 dealers when I bought my truck and bought from the one with the best deal.

 

The sales rep said I was rediculous and fought me about the price. He wouldn't even counter. Then he said he'd call me back and never did. What an ass. Oh well, guess ill wait till the end of the month.

 

I just bought a leftover 2012 and got whopping $900 off. They showed me their invoice and it was about 2% over. Trd DCSB 4x4 $34,900 for $34,000 even.


Could have gotten a 2013 in white for about the same but I wanted silver.

 

What's my recourse? I'm so pissed that he didn't even humor me and then strung me out. I'm calling the sales mgr and asking for a new rep tmrw. Or deal w him
They're probably like f this guy and used to running business this way.

 

Find a different stealership. Nothing says you have to only deal with one.

 

usually the sales people dont negotiate price, its the sales manager. at least thats been my experience. go somewhere else.

 

They have the only 12's left...

 

when i was buying my dodge i spoke with 5 dealers and had them all arguing on price until one made an offer even i couldnt believe, lets just say that dealer was a 9 hour drive away and made the deal worth it

 

$1000-$1500 below invoice at least. I paid 500 under for current year in January

 

Its a Toyota Tacoma.....they aren't going to give it away. Now if it were a Tundra......you could get a hell of a deal!

 

After a 25 min bitch session, he is going to gimme numbers tnrw. He's thinking $1000 under invoice. Not sure if I feel good about giving them my business, but I guess money talks and I can have it serviced anywhere. He thinks march may bring more incentive. Ugh.

 

These trucks sell very well so they usually don't offer much for incentives. All I've seen is for interest rates.

 

OP.. 1k dollars only lowers the payments like 7-10 bucks per month. if its the truck you want, dont let 10 bucks a month stop you from buying it.
