What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

My MSRP was $48,083 on my AG Pro. I negotiated $44,411 before TTL back in January. $3672 off MSRP. Put down my deposit and ordered the truck. Received 2 months later almost to the day.

 

I’d probably hold off if you can wait. Time is on our side. AG is a color option next year as well so no hurry.

 

Has that actually been confirmed? I'm in no hurry at all, that's the frustrating part. These dealers are acting like this is the last AG Tacoma on the planet.

 

I just paid $29,700 for a 2020 Tacoma SR5 in the Atlanta area with leather installed. I checked Car Gurus as well as Consumer Reports. Both said I was getting a great deal. Hard to beat the prices and financing these days.

 

According to this press release from Toyota it is. I think the reason dealers are acting like there’s no more AG is because all the plants are shut down for the time being and the little leverage they have is the fact that nobody is getting sent new trucks so you can only buy what’s available.

You got a killer deal!

 

When I ordered mine right before the lockdown in NY, my deal was $500 above invoice price. For Army Green Pro, Auto, bed mat, mudflaps, running boards, it came to $46,319. I bet if I ordered today it would be a few grand less. I was told they never expected to find one to trade from another dealer. The plan was to wait 5 months for them to build mine at the plant. With the plant closed, I expect total time to be at least 6 months. Maybe more. But, like you, I'm in no rush. I can't even generate income until NY is out of lockdown.

 

The same Neanderthals who think if they drag their feet or refuse to give back the keys to your potential trade-in in an attempt to keep you in the dealership, that you’ll be more inclined to buy from them.
No disrespect to any car dealers or salesmen among us. Many are great, but some of the most moronic, ill-informed or offensive people I’ve met have been at a dealer.

 

Hello,

This is my first post.
I've been following the thread for a while now.
There is a lot of good info on here.
Thanks to everyone for sharing.

This is the deal I was offered, let me know what you guys think.

2020 TRD off road DCSB, adv tech, LED, 4x4, steps, black out, bed cover.
MSRP: 44,306
Discount- -5,157.00 (last months Costco deal)
Add disc. - 1,500.00 (Toyota rebate)
Doc fee. 85.00
State tax. 2979.07 (SoCal)
License. 734.75
Theft patrol
Perma, clear. 1875.00 (wtf)

Total. 43,304.47

They ended up dropping the price to: 42,579 OTD
I offered 41,500 OTD thru email, and I was rejected.

Thanks for the input.

 

That's a scam is what that is. They're trying to claw back a bunch of that original offer. Don't do business with a company like this.

 

Hey guys,

First post, been looking to buy a Tacoma Off Road for the last few months and decided now might be the right time. My wants are Premium package, LEDs, and tech. Inventory is pretty limited where I am (Houston, Texas) but I've been shopping around. Got offer today:

TRD Off road 4x4, Premium, Advanced Tech, LEDs Blackout, Side steps, power tailgate lock, protection package,
MSRP: $48,190 ($45,190 before dealer add-ons and options)
Discount:$5,750
Rebate:$1,500
Total before TTL: $40,960

I've never seen an Off road with $3,000 worth of options and dealer add-ons. I know the tint, scratch protection, and paint protection are overly priced and BS. Should I keep looking for trucks without all the extras to lower the price a bit, or with the factories shut down should I keep working on this deal? Thanks all!

(Sorry for the bad picture)

 

Shoot for $6XXX in dealer discounts and you’re good to sign that paperwork.

 

I just bought a 2020 SR5 4x4 V6 double cab with black alloys a month ago in Portland Oregon for 34,500k. Turned out a bit more as I opted for the ceramic coating and the electrical warranty. I’m a decent novice mechanic but all the computers in the rig aren’t my strong suit. Was listed at 37,500ish. Love the truck, was a bit steep in my opinion but I had been in the market for around 5 months and that was the best deal for what I was looking for. Is the price of tea in China I guess.

 

what was the sticker for this?

 

I thought dealers would be begging us to buy their cars... good luck!!

 

That sounds like a pretty good price!

 

Great price!

 

Nice! Congrats!

 

I've heard conflicting things. Some say they aren't getting nearly as many sales, so they will discount heavily. Others say that since the factory isn't running right now, they are trying to keep them on the lot in preparation for a few months of no new stock coming in until the factories reopen and they start producing again. So they aren't in a rush to sell (at a discount anyway) so that they'll continue to have inventory of some kind for the near future.

 

I haven't heard of any business ever wanting to "save" inventory. They need cash flow. Imagine trying to run a business with no dollars coming in.
