    Hi guys,
    Im trying to find the best deal on a tacoma
    So hears the specs I want

    2015 Double Cab Long Bed Tacoma 4x4
    With Premium Entune with JBL
    TRD Sport

    So they said they can do 33,300 for that I believe
    Now here's the add ons
    Super charger will be approx. $7,000 installed
    8yr/120,000 mile warranty = $1,800
    5yr/75,000 maintenance = $1,360

    What can I show them to reduce the super charger and the warranty and maintenance?

    Thanks for the help!

    7k for supercharger is high. It should be more toward 5800 or so (~4k for the hardware and ~1k for install)

    You already get 2 years free maintenance

    Suggest to put at least a few thousand miles on the motor b4 S/C install.

    Thanks for your input,
    I saw some quotes people got for around 5k also,
    I just wanted to add it into the truck once financed so I don't have to throw in 5k all at once. So its a bad idea to get the supercharger you think right off the lot?

    Why are you so set on getting the extended warranty and maintenance? You are buying a Toyota, not a Dodge.

    I don't think they will let you finance the supercharger through toyota. You will most likely have to pay cash or put it on a CC.

    I'd skip it then. MOST of the time it's a waste of money.

    I contemplated the extended warranty but in the end went with the maintenance through 75k.

    Reason, with the warranty you might use it.

    With the extended maintenance you will use it. I don't think this is a bad idea at all if you know you aren't going to work on your own truck.

    Also, OP I paid about $150 more for my 75k maint than you are but I was able to negotiate synthetic changes every 5k. I made sure it says "Synthetic" on the card they gave me. So I would suggest trying for something like that as well. Good luck!

    Cool Awesome tip! Synthetic is always more expensive and I think they have to use synthetic oil since im getting the super charger with the car.
    Did you have extended warranty or went with basic? and thats 5 years correct?

    I would buy the truck and just the truck at the best price you can get. Get the SC after and skip the extended warranty.

    I did nothing to extend the warranty but just for your info they were offering 8 years 125k for $2495

    Seemed pricey to me as many others on this site have done quite a bit better. Whatever you decide it sounds like you're getting one hell of a truck

    Pretty much this :thumbsup: On average the TRD SC is about $4300 (main unit and fit kit) Install is about $500-$1200 or you can do it yourself and save money, just gotta pay for the ecu reflash $110. 7k for SC installed is crazy.

    Yeah :D Just make sure you don't wreck it on the way home smashing the skinny pedal. Minus the extended warranty.

    If that's a deal your happy with go for it. Personally I don't think financing extras is smart, if you can't afford the SC don't finance it. 40k for a Tacoma is insane and a real hefty monthly payment.

    No I can afford it without a finance
    But instead of seeing 5k disappear all at once Id rather see it gone in 3-5 years :D

    if you can afford it go in with a lower offer on the truck in cash. my grandfather has bought all his cars brand new doing this, the man just walks in with a brief case full of cash and ends up with a car. i idolize him and can't wait to do that myself
