Nice truck. Sorry about Saturday. And I have noticed that the state is offering other university tags. Is that one of the Miss State tags on your truck. I wish I had a use for the sof topper. I have a bak flip cover on mine. I will ask around and see if anyone I know is looking for a top.

If mine wasn't a long bed I would take it. I could really use it duck hunting to carry all of my stuff and keep it from getting wet

So I get the occasional dealer contacting me about buying a Tacoma from my search last month. This is what I got from the general sales manager at Tuscumbia Toyota on Saturday.

"Hello David,

My name is Dustin Burbank and I am one of the Sales Managers at University Toyota. I would like to thank you for requesting information about purchasing a vehicle from our dealership.

I appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and I would love to have the opportunity to meet you in person. I understand the importance in finding the perfect vehicle, meeting your finance needs and offering you an exceptional buying experience. I want to make sure we do everything we can to assist you in your purchase decision.

Please contact me at the number below to schedule a time that we can sit down together. If you have any questions that need to be answered, feel free to contact me and let me know what I need to do to make you a happy University Toyota customer.

Dustin Burbank
University Toyota of Tuscumbia
256-383-3611"

"Dustin,
My inquiry was for the best deal you can do on a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport DCSB 4x4 V6 Auto in Magnetic Gray with tow package. No other options.
Please provide the build sheet with the price breakdown. I am motivated to buy once I find the right deal. I am not interested in MSRP. I am looking for invoice pricing.
Thanks"

"Yes sir I certainly appreciate your honesty! Im a very motivated General Sales Manager as well..Please come to our brand new facility located in beautiful Tuscumbia Al pick out a new Tacoma and I will personally show you invoice price and finalize your deal! This one time offer is only valid through 11/14/15 by 5p.m. thanks for your business!"

"Dustin,
I appreciate the offer, however I am not just down the street to stop by. I am located in Huntsville, AL. I would need a more solid deal on what your invoice pricing consists of to make the drive over. I have received several quotes at invoice pricing. But then the additional fees get interesting. I was being charged the gas Toyota put in it on one of the quotes. If you will do invoice pricing and give me a run down on the fees that get me to an out the door price. I will definitely make a trip over to Tuscumbia to finalize the deal if we are in agreement.
Thanks"

"The only fee we have is a doc fee of $678.50 and whatever your taxes would be. What time can I expect you today?"

"I am unable to make it to Tuscumbia this afternoon. I am hosting the Alabama game today. I can plan on making a trip there next weekend. Possibly one day after work this week if you confirm the following is correct.

"Invoice Pricing
$31249 - 7542 - TRD SPORT DOUBLE CAB 4X4 V6 AUTO
$579 - TO - Towing Package
$678.50 - Doc Fee

$32506.50 - Total + Taxes, Tag and Title

Color: Magnetic Gray Metallic

Note: I did not add in the DPH fee or Admin fee. But even if I did the total would be $34366.50.

He sends over a consumer sheet for a truck that has more options checked than I asked for. I don't want Toyo guard, paint protection, or the factory tonneau cover. The price is $35,256 plus tax,tag, and title and his $678.50 doc fee.

"Dustin,
This is what I've run into. I don't want the tonneau cover, toyo guard, nitrogen fill. Zero options. I want to order a truck with just the tow package. No other options. I appreciate the help but it's no different from the other dealers. I'll wait for the new to wear off this truck. I am by no means in need of this vehicle today and can wait. Or select a different manufacturer."

And for the GRAND FINALE his response.

"Ok great! Well if your waiting for the new to wear off youll have to purchase a pre owned because there aren't and never will be any incentives on a Tacoma. Further more if your thinking about buying from a different manufacturer then you probably should they will be a lot cheaper and when you get miles on it youll regret it, pass tacomas youll regret it, trade/sell it youll regret it. Here at University Toyota we by no means will devalue the Toyota product nor sell to someone that doesn't appreciate it as we do! GOOD LUCK!!"

I told him this was the best response ever and wished him well selling his Tacomas. I will be posting this everywhere.

Sounds like that dealer is a real ass-clown. With that kind of selling tactic, he will be finding another JOB. Too bad the Tacoma sells itself. That is why some of the Toyota dealers are real jerks when it comes to Tacomas.

Yep, unfortunately that is more of the norm instead of the exception that I have dealt with most recent. I am in no rush to get in the truck. I have a feeling when these are sitting on dealers lots they will be ready to work a deal. I didn't pay a premium for the last one and I refuse to do so for this one. Just thought y'all would get as much of a kick out of it as I did.

Well I would consider myself an avid duck hunter so let me know if you wanna go. Beware though I only didn't go 3 days out of the whole season last year and I was sick those 3. Spent about $2,000, and went through 3 girlfriends in 3 months. My point is it is addicting and a money pit.
