Hi All. looking at Tacomas since spring, now emailing a few dealers for new one, who do you think is best deal best dealer for this in east valley, will be 1st toyota for me BTW.

thanks

 

Rick Bombara at Big Two...

 

Camelback Toyota has a great service department. Can’t say much on the sales experience since I bought mine out of state prior to moving to the valley. They seem like a high volume dealer. Wait until the 2020’s release and you can probably snag a good deal on a 19 if you aren’t dying for all the new model year perks.

 

Best bet is to get quotes from all and make them fight over price before going in, there isn’t a good one out there that won’t screw you. I just helped my brother in law do this. I always follow 1. Find a forum and look for the what price did you pay( now you know how low you can go and when you are getting the run around)2 test drive all the cars / trucks on your list3 don’t buy that day no matter what but may try and haggle to see how low they will go 4 get quotes and shop around over phone internet. First place I went wanted 38 OTD for a off-road 4x4. Got it down to 31.5 OTD by the end. Brother in law went for his Volkswagen, first place wanted 23, got it to 17.5 OTD

 

i’ve heard nothing but great things about big two.

 

I've been emailing their internet sales guy about 2020 Pros. They have an Army green one they are asking over $51,000 for. I said well how about a gray one? He said those will be $2500 over MSRP. Typically on cars.com when you sort Tacomas from highest to lowest priced (which I've been doing because I want a Pro), they are the highest.

 

B2T is the only dealer in the Valley that doesn't markup the Pro triplets...

 

I wont even look at the PROS way overpriced, 36K msrp then get deals 5Kdown at least is all I will do...I can wait for deals

 

I have purchased both of my Tacomas at Autonation but get them serviced at Big Two. I’m sure I could have gotten the same deals from Big Two but they didn’t have the trucks I wanted when I wanted them.

 

I got my 2019 pro in January at Autonation for under MSRP.

 

Good to know, I need to wait till next year anyway, I may go test drive a 2019 at Earnheart in mesa in a couple days. live close to them

 

That army green is a pretty awesome color but at a nearly 12k-15K markup you could buy a off-road and do whatever you deemed fit to include making a TRD-Bro for less than mark up. Thats just my two sense. I loved the idea of a pro and exclusively shopped for one for about a month but after owning a off road and making the cosmetic changes (grill tails headlights...etc) I love my truck a lot more. If the the green is the gimme factor you could always dip or wrap it. A few shops in the valley are pretty reputable and fairly priced with those options.

edit: mark up over an offroad**

 

Test drove a 2019 SR5 dblcab 4x4 today at Earnheart toyota in east mesa, no hassle heck they still dont know my last name or phone LOL ....I was really impressed with the overall ride of the truck just enough firm but very stable and smooth driving, interior fit and finish far superior to my subaru, manual seat felt better than the 10 way adjustable one in my subaru (subaru forester seat is worst I ever had)..NOw the big thing to gain speed in any hurry you have to really step on it. Auto trans, for sure set for milage, did not try sport mode, guess it would help some, over all I LOVE IT

 

That's where I bought my 18. I was in and out in about an hour and a half, paid what I wanted to for the truck, great buying experience.

 

Seemed good that way, I did say not buying now, but am serious, likely a 2020....He said they would sell me a 2019 for $1000 under Invoice, paid $700 under invoice for my Forester in 2014

 

Jason at Right Toyota. He hooked me up on my 2020 TRD OR
