What did you pay for your 2025 TACOMAS?

Was it I force max? I don’t see a lot of people stating weather it is or isn’t

 

You can look at the TSRP and do the math. Hybrid Sport/OR starts at 48K, with just the upgrade your at 52K, with the premium it's 56K. A premium with additional options and a TSRP of $54,574 is not a hybrid.

 

My sister did okay this week. No trade, she sold her car to carmax instead

The dealer must have really wanted to get rid of that truck.

 

I was astonished, but she’s always been crazy about the negotiation. hard nosed as hell

 

I always thought I could negotiate a deal she has me beat by far.

 

So, the dealer just wanted to get rid of her!

 

That’s actually the most logical answer

 

Whoa. And everything else must’ve been in favor. End of the month quota, etc. Or they made a mistake and had it priced wrong. That happened to us on the MDX we bought last year. Not to that level, but a few thousand less than what it should’ve been. After we signed papers with the finance guy, I brought it up and he pretty much said so.

 

Whats her fee for negotiation services?

Good deal.

 

Nice deal!

 

Really good deal! Which dealer? I’m in Texas and just started shopping.

 

AutoNation Toyota Gulf Freeway just south of Houston. I was pretty lucky in that there were a lot of really similar trucks within driving distance. They were actually the only dealership who would even send me a full pdf price quote that I could forward to other dealers via email, and none of the other dealers would even match. Once I knew how much my insurance company was giving me as a settlement for my old totaled truck, I started sending emails and bought a truck a few days later. Good luck! I hate car buying.

 

Thank you. I’m in Katy so I’ll be shopping them.

 

I found the following truck in the color that I want. A Non-Texas Dealer has it listed for $51k. I will see if they can do anything below $50k. Is this a decent deal on a premium package? All of the Texas trucks have a bunch of dealer-add ons that aren't of any value to me (Something about Gulf States Toyota Distributor). I would rather travel out of state at this point to get what I want.

Asking price: $51k
2025 TRD Sport 4x4 5ft Bed MSRP: $54,408
TRD Sport Premium Package $8,750
Bed Mat $200
Spray On Bedliner $575
Tailgate Insert: Gunmetal $89
All-Weather Floor Liners $199

 

It's certainly worth a try - but if they're any distance away get a quote by email just to start the conversation and see what they're adding. Then see how negotiations go - you don't want to drive a couple hours to find out they've added a bunch of dealer-installed crap plus $1000+ in dealer / electronic filing fees.

 

Certainly. This would be a short flight away so I would have all of the numbers ironed out before I booked a flight. Just wanted to see if it was a decent deal. It's not set to arrive until late August so I'm wondering if they can forego the spray on bedliner to lower the price - assuming this is usually done at the dealer.
