What are you paying for 2020 Tacomas?

A few pages back someone's buddy who is a regional manager / rep.

 

Actually, you got the ball rolling on questioning credentials. I told you my degree (PhD in economics) and my specialty is econometrics (let me translate: I have forgotten more than you will ever know about the strengths and weaknesses of economic models). Most economists are really worried right now and actually the biggest battle is probably whether we can or should resort to MMT if some of the worst case scenarios played out. As for 100% sure I think I have already addressed that.

There are two elements of expectations now. 1. Will we experience a massive contraction? As you said, no longer debatable. 2. How long will it be? @pochoboy is clearly betting on a sharp "V". Some, but a diminshing number, of professional economists still are.

In any case, I think your reasons for being defensive are obvious. Like I said: just wait. Time will tell.

 

Not defensive in the least bit, just not a fan of people making arrogant and assumptive comments, but no sweat, you do you, I may not be a expert in finance or economics but I probably have a better grasp of things in other areas than yourself, doesn't mean I go around stating things like "Its evident watching what people (like you)." Clearly you do have the background, credentials and knowledge to make these types of comments or statements in this given area, however most of the time here on TW this is not the case (plenty of Dave Ramsey's running around here), so I stand corrected. The original point I was trying to make which you put in better terms was how this evolves for the economy and whether its a sharp "V" as you put it or something else as outlined, point being its still evolving, filled with variables and a guessing game, though you may have a better grasp of the outcome in detail than the rest of us.

Dumb question: Where online do you find the cash back rebates Toyota is offering?

 

https://www.toyota.com/socal/deals-incentives/?vehicles=tacoma

Just change your region based on your Zip code.

 

Im glad that Toyota didnt match it because Navy federal gave me an even lower APR of 1.85%. So its a win... and since im Banking with Navy fed, its much easier to keep track of payments.

 

2020 trd off-road manual ,adv tech,premium /leather moonroof pkg with most all the bells and whistles, I think I walked out at like 42k after taxes ( I’m from California where the taxes should come with lube and or something to bite on)

 

Congrats!
What dealer was this?

 

Thanks!
Toyota Fremont, Ca
pretty much did the whole thing through email.

 

OK, peace?

All I am saying is that it is difficult to predict what Toyota will do for the same reason economists are hedging between a few different paths forward: there is no precedent actually for what is happening now (and yes, you are correct: that creates big problems for lots of traditional models).

At this point I am waiting because down a couple of those paths I bet there will be huge price savings. We already know the damage is immense, but it is likely to get far, far worse if a few fairly high probability things happen (for example if what is now essentially a liquidity crisis in the financial markets morphs into a solvency crisis).

If those things happen I bet all the automakers will be offering deals well beyond what is available now. Toyota may even decide this is downright strategic, particularly with the Tacoma (they can lose a shit ton of money in this and it can still work out in their favor in the long run).

I have a 4X4 SR5 V6. If I can get them to a certain break point I would buy a second (and if I can get a TRD OR for $4k more than that I'll go that route since I like the locking diff). I think we have to see how things evolve, but there is a very good chance the stars will be aligning by, say, late July.

 

They just extended the cash back and 0% APR until 6/1.

 

I see the 0% on the web site now until 06/01 but I dont see any cash back info (only 0% finance deal)

 

Cash back rebate is the same. $2250 for 2019 models and $1750 for 2020 models

 

Opinion Inquiry: Access Cab Sport 4x4 Manual, Super White, lane departure, park assist, non-premium package with side steps.

They have it listed at $34,404 which includes the cash back offer.

Let them sweat, or try to make a move on it?

Other consideration: well, it sold.

Edit: Have they sorted the auto trans yet??

 

That must be a regional thing for you - we dont have that here in Florida

 

Yep the rebates and APR rates (incentives) are regional and vary.

 

@Hookes law hope you found a new dealer/salesperson. Current offer got extended. And they'll probably cont. to extend throughout the summer. I don't see auto industry recovering that quick with 30M unemployed (that number will go up).

 

Thanks man!
I'm still looking.
It's good to know the incentives are getting extended!

 

In Florida we have the $1750 for 2020 but nothing in stone for the 2019
