Find Toyota Dealers in Mobile, Alabama

All, Been browsing this site for quite awhile and finally negotiated for a black 2011 XLE with premium pkg. It took about a week for the van to arrive, but picked it up yesterday. Our price 36,600 +TTL. I really couldn't do any better, maybe 36,300 if I waited another month, but no premium models anywhere in southern AL/MS/LA. Not terrible, but understand many of you did better, but a very limited selection in the deep south. I did have a USAA Car Buying service quote at 35,100, but they didn't have the vehicle available and that drive was 6 hours away. All in all, happy with the purchase, very nice van. I feel a very good improvement over our base 2004 Sienna LE. Our dealer was Springhill Toyota in Mobile, AL. Also, Toyota of New Orleans was very competitive, but had to wait a month. Good luck to the rest of you!!!

I had the same this past weekend in Orlando. I test drove a red quad cab with brown interior. Loved it but couldn't wait around for numbers because I had two little boys with me. Long story short I didn't like the way Toyota of Orlando handled the process over the next 12 hours. I "found" the same truck except with silver interior at another dealer. We "agreed" on a number and I started driving to the dealership. Turns out the truck wasn't site. It take about a week to get it. Wrong answer, guys! I think there should be some "warning" on the respective dealership websites that state what vehicles are physically at the location.

I'd shop around some more. If you find the truck you want call the dealer & make sure it's in stock. I saw the other day where Toyota had a $900.00 discount on one of their pkgs. I checked Gulf States Toyota just now but did not see if. Ask a dealer about it. Hang in there, you should be able to find what you want. Good luck, you will love you Taco when you get it.

I shopped today for a Tacoma 4x2 PreRunner Double Cab 4.0L 6 short bed with the TRD Sport Package Option /JBL ($3375 MSRP) Towing Package ($650 MSRP) Running Lights ($40 MSRP) Southeast Toyota Admin Fee ($705) which apparently everyone in NC, SC, GA, AL and FL pays The total MSRP of the truck with Destination was $28,365 and the invoice per Edmunds was $26,630. When the salesman asked what I wanted to pay I told him I had to check with Edmunds first. He turned his laptop around and said, "Want to use this?" So I did and Edmunds suggested a TMV price of $26,273. I turned the laptop around, showed the guy the price and said "I'll offer this". He started writing up the offer sheet and I think,"Wow that was too easy." However when he showed me the offer sheet there was a line item below where he'd written in my offer with Documentary and Retail Delivery $499 so my offer was really the total of both this plus the TMV price which equaled $26,772. This price is before TTL and before the $1,500 manufacturer's rebate. When I questioned the $499 I was told "Everybody pays this, blah, blah, blah" and then the Sales Manager came in and refused to budge and after a while I said I was sorry I couldn't do business with them today, shook hands and left. As I reflect on this later, the irony is that if they had just looked at my offer and said we can't do that but we can do $26,772 I might have said ok let's do this or made a counter offer. However, I just didn't like the way they tried to slip that extra $499 onto my offer without much of an explanation so I walked when they wouldn't budge (which is their right). I was already ticked off with the web inventory system used by all the Southeast Toyota dealers as there were trucks shown to be on site at this dealer which weren't there and apparently had never been there. Also the truck I liked that the web site indicated would be delivered to this dealer on Friday of this week was in fact headed to South Carolina instead. Another irritant was that the Sales Manager spoke as if he was doing *me* a huge favor by seeing if this truck could be sent to his dealership instead of SC. Gee thanks! Remind me, which one of us pays the other one? This is my first post and I created my account to make it but I hope I haven't violated forum etiquette by describing an experience that didn't end in a sale.

Thanks to both asif1 and jcliffro for you help and insight into New Orleans area dealers. Living in Biloxi MS and working in Mobile, AL. It is easier for me to try and deal with Mobile area dealerships. Having stated this I found an 04 SR5 at Palmers Toyota in Mobile, AL. It has the following: V6 17" Wheels -$100 Moonroof- $900 Running boards Roof Rack The XY-70 Toyo Protection Package - $699-- that we all don't want to pay for!! After a few discussions with the salesman we agreed on an OTD price of $26,997. I had all my quotes from area dealers, my edmunds.com estimate along with a Kelly Blue Book estimate. The salesman actually appreciated that I had done my homework to some degree. The OTD price included their admin fees of $299, and 1% AL state tax. They are a really good dealership, very high volume, and there was not one pressure statement made to me. Living in MS I will pay the 5% MS tax, then once ou get the tag purchased in MS. the State of Al reinburses you the 1% tax. So all told the SR5 will cost $27.9K. The big difference was the attitude of the dealership and the salesman. Much better than any of the New Orleans, Gulfport MS. or Pascagoula, MS dealers I talked too.
