    Sweet. Thanks, I ran a report from Edmunds and someone was saying that you should be able to get it for around $1,000 less than the quote from the website.

    I wish you luck. I have a quote from 2 dealers. Both are within 1% of each other, the only difference is the pkgs. One dealer is about 45 mi the other almost 300 mi away. Go to various web sites & compare prices, with the pkg. i looked at & the pkgs. you want. Toyota's current incentives end tomorrow but i look for the incentives to be as good or probably better on the 8th. Good luck.

    Crossing my fingers they will be better on the 8th. Toyota released its sales figures on Monday the 5th. 39% drop in truck sales for the month of Dec. Hopefully this means greater incentives for the 8th. I'm buying either way this weekend a fully loaded with every single option available - Sticker is 32Plus - Hopefully I'll pay alot less.

    :)

    Thanks Del - I've already driven two 09's and am going blind with anticipation - I am purchasing at the same time a TRD cat back. Unless someone has a better bolt on solution.

    try to get them to throw the TRD exhaust in with the purchase of the truck. It's a nice exhaust with a nice sound.

    Yikes - what am I thinking - Excellent idea. With the tough year they've had and hopefully some good money tomorrow - they will do that. If not that, I'll ask for something else. Time to check out the accessories.

    bspencer, what price are you shooting for? I'm thinking around $24K for a TRD sport. Is that about what you are going to try for?

    24K for a fully loaded 2009 Dcab 4x4 V6???? With the TRD off road (not sport) and the SR5 #2 with the JBL system - Bluetooth and everything????

    Where the heck are you getting that price? - I cant find anything better than $31000 Out the door - this includes TTL.

    Even the TRD Sports fully loaded are $30,000 and some change.

    The "invoice" (notice I quoted it) is 29500 - At least thats what Edmunds and others say. Then the dealer adds on "a bit of profit" and TTL - $31000 and some change total. I'm still looking and talking with dealers.

    Does this sound right?

    Haha, Sorry didn't notice that you were getting every option available. I priced out a TRD with just the TRD package and not every option available and it was about $25k TMV.

    Sorry about that ThatDood, - I didnt pay full attention to what you posted.

    Any one else getting something fully loaded? What are you paying? Does 31000 (Includes TTL) out the door sound right?

    Well I haven't sold my car yet, but I've been dealing with a guy online. I'm looking at the 2009 double cab 4x2 black with the SR5 package, wheel upgrade, deluxe cd changer, and extended warranty. They are at $24,675 right now. Trying to work them down a little more, but the only bad thing is the truck is about 4 hours away. The TMV for this is around $23,200 with all discounts and incentives.

    Where did you get your TMV? I've been using Edmunds and paid 14 bucks for one from Consumer Reports. Turns out that the dealer is giving me a pretty good deal. Fully loaded:30500 OTD (including TTL - TRD Offroad, 4X4, V6, DC, JBL, Bluetooth, everything.)

    Toyota is killing me. They are not bending at all - I've been dealing with them for 2 months. Still the same price. Thank goodness for the 1000 rebate. I'm thinking of dragging this out longer. I'm trying to get them to throw in a TRD Exhaust - NOPE!!!! Wont even give me a discount.

    There are three dealers in my area. Two are owned by the same company. Larry H Miller. I sometimes suspect they share data or may talk with each other. It would be in their best interest if they did. But who knows. I'll just drag it out.
    The members here on this board have been awesome by providing prices, what they paid, where to get info, etc etc. What a great community this is.
    I hope (soon) I can start reading posts about how to customize and upgrade my (I hope soon) new Tacoma!!!!!!

    Can anyone provide the link for rebates? I'm specfically looking for the military rebate. Every site i go to doesn't show it any longer. I thought this was an ongoing program in addition to any other incentives.

    Is that the dealership in the Glendale area of Phoenix?
    I test drove a fully loaded 09 d/cab trd off road with JBL tow pkg etc and i think it was 31k sticker. you would most likely get it for a good price after some negotiation. And i do know the salesman i dealt with there was champing at the bit to make a sale with great rebates and interest rates. He was also willing to give even better deals on the 08's he had on the lot. It was very tempting i must admit. I shall be going back in Feb to beat him down and drive one off the lot!

    No this is in the Albuquerque area. They are being tough. Some people have bills and family's to support (me) so I have to wait it out to find the best deal. I really want a Tacoma but I don't want to get burned at the same time.

    Current deal: 09 DC short 4X4 w/Off Road package and JBL bluetooth, XM etc Out the door 30500 (Includes TTL)
    Sticker: 32200
