Too much money?

My local Toyota dealer is one of those "Market based pricing" places -- that is, there's no negotiating on the price.

I'm looking at this 2015 TRD Sport package truck for $33,450. But isn't that a little high?

Come to Canada. TRD sport premium is 38,000.

 

That's about what I was looking at and then I decided to shop around. I bought a '15 DCSB, off-road package for $31,500 out the door. I don't have navigation though but for $2000, it was well worth the short drive (12 hours) to Dallas. $31,500 includes tax, title, and etc...out the door!

 

Don't worry about the purchase price too much. These trucks hold their value. You can buy the truck, drive it around for a year, and literally sell it back for the same price.

 

I paid $32750 for my 2015 Sport 4WD DCBLB. So the price isn't too far off. As someone else mentioned they hold their value you could trade it in in 2 years and get 28-31k for it. But yes midsize trucks are getting ridiculous. My new sierra last year cost the same and I could of had a similar tundra for $1500 more when I bought my current truck.

 

That 3rd gen section though.

 

True this is wrong section, but newbies arent always familiar with different generations.

 

There's no such thing as non-negotiable. Tell them you're going to another dealership that does negotiate. Watch them negotiate.

 

You wouldn't be worried about that extra $2000 you paid plus the interest it cost you that could have been a better profit margin when selling? I value my money more than that.

OP shop around and then play a dealer against another. Just go in with the attitude of buying one for the right price not needing one for what they offer. There is always a dealer out there willing to negotiate. Find a dealer that likes to move volume rather than make it all on a few sales.

 

Pipe dreams on trade in values! I call BS!

 

Guy looking to offload his 14 got a carmax offer of $30k for his TRD Sport DBCB on another thread here. Reason I bought new was the used were only 1-2k less.

 

I paid $31,600 for the exact same truck. Except long bed and 2014.

 

X2. I bartered with three dealers. They'll negotiate.

 

Is it a small dealer?

Small dealers tend to need to make more on each car/truck sold.

Go on toyota.com and request dealer quotes and see what you come up with. Then email back and forth with different dealers to negotiate.

 

Hell, the dealer I just got mine from had used trucks with 25k+ miles priced higher than my new one. That, and if you're financing the rates on a new truck are better too.

fwiw, I got nine for $31,800. Only thing it doesn't have is the skid plate.

 

Invoice is around $31k. Don't forget the dealer gets a 2% hold back on the sale and additional 1% on financing.

With that, dealer cost right at $30.1k. $33.5k gives them $3.3k.

Double check me, I may have built the wrong truck but, here's some supporting info.

That said, it appears to be in the "fair" price range...whatever that is.

 

It's all high. $33,000 for a midsize truck. Thats more than I paid for my first house.

 

Yup, I paid about $31,500 for my 2013 (DCSB O/R).

 

see if you can find previous new model years sitting on the lot. I was able to get 5 grand off the sticker out the door with a truck sitting on the lot for a year. I paid a little above 27k for a sport after fees

 

The end of this month is the end of the fiscal quarter for many dealerships. If you wait two weeks you'll have more leverage.
Just my .02.
