Does your dealer add these stupid fees?

This is exactly why I hate to see no haggle pricing. All of the ones that over pay allow the hagglers pay less. Took my ex wife to buy a new truck once. She had never bought a new vehicle. After picking out the truck we wanted and going back in to the dealership to start negotiating she looked at me and said "is that what we are paying for that truck". Of course she was talking about the window sticker. I said "hell no and just shut up".

 

They literally sat down to think "how can we mark these way up" - and THAT is what they came up with. Amazing.

 

I posted something on ridiculously priced Tundras loaded up with over priced dealer options but the Tacoma I just saw on Auto Trader takes the cake. I have been looking at prices because I will be selling my Tacoma and buying a Tundra. Also, looking for a truck for my son. The Tacoma I saw on Auto Trader had a list price of $62,039. MSP just below $38k. Dealer stated that we have done too much to this Tacoma to even list.

 

I didn't get good deals through truecar. We just had to contact 25 dealerships via email.

 

"Professional delivery with technical assistance."

What the fuck? If ANYONE buys from this dealer they're completely worthless.

 

Fees aside, are people really paying MSRP? I just built a 2017 Tacoma DC 4x4 TRD Sport in Magnetic Gray with the Premium/Technology Package with JBL Audio options ($4365 option) and the total MSRP was $40,230.

 

Had to see if it had gold wheels

Like Chevy did (or tried/trying to do) and Ford are doing, Toyota really need to put a stop to this kind-a stuff.

It would help with the markups if they made more PRO's. There is a demand for them, so dealers are going to try and screw over the customers.

 

That truck looks so tacky.

 

Simple, go to a different dealer... that's a bunch of crap.

 

That actually is quite a bit of stuff, definitely not $30,000 worth.

Who's fuckin' kid attacked the thing with a sticker pack, though? Seriously.

 

Toyota of Rock Hill. I got my 2017 TRD sport 4x2 loaded for 33,500 out the door.

 

bummer, every time I have had a couple dealers bidding around invoice. Normally it goes directly to the fleet manager which is doing volume sales. The guys in the main showroom are trying to maximize the one sale.

 

If they did have those fees....they wouldn't be my dealer....

 

As long as it is tolerated they will do it. Why not?

 

This just looks like a way of masking a dealer mark-up fee. Plus, the line items like "Coutesy Shuttle" and "Professional delivery" are at least in my experience things that every dealer offers with a new vehicle purchase free of charge. That better be a pretty nice shuttle.

 

Check out Cobb County Toyota in Ga they are great to work with. They are straight forward and do not add the bull crap fees.

I've also had great luck with Autonation Toyota on Thornton Rd in Ga. If you check them out ask for Kevin Echols he's great to work with.

 

I want to go there just to laugh in the manager's face.
