Best deals in the San Francisco Bay Area?
by semenzato on Sat Jan 24 20:09:51 PST 2009
Hello fellow car shoppers, I am negotiating for an XLE Limited AWD with package 2 and HID lights/laser cruise control. Essentially, everything. Without pushing hard, I have two offers, one at invoice + 200 and the other at invoice + 1000. (By invoice I mean published invoice price, minus the current $1500 rebate.) Is this good enough or should I persist? Thanks! Luigi P.S. The current offers are from Toyota in Oakland (the new one, near the airport) and in Davis.

Yeah, the gas price crunch has had a very positive effect on resale prices for cars like the Echo! :-) $3000 sounds like a bargain on a 117K Echo. In my area, prices don't drop much below $3000 for used Toyotas, regardless of miles, until the car in question begins to display signs of being really worn out.
Lessons learned
by yatesjo on Mon Jul 28 15:57:21 PDT 2008
Since I need the van for a road trip we are taking this week, I swallowed my anger and pride and took the best deal I could get. I took the 48 month 0% financing on a 2008 Desert Sand LE with EVP2 and upgrade package at $870 below invoice. Here is a list of lessons learned by my experience: 1.Take your time and time your purchase. Don't get rolled by the "quote expires in 48 hours" language that some dealers put on every quote. Sometimes there is a real reason to expire the offer, but most offers are good to a certain date (usually the end of the month) or until they sell the unit(s) that you are interested in. 2. The best deals are not just at the end of the month but at the end of the quarter (March, June, September, December). At the end of June they still have a good selection of vehicles for that model year and want to make both the monthly and quarterly sales numbers. I suspect September is really good too for the previous model year, but the selection starts to get thin. In the last week of June I had so many dealers wanting to sell me a van, I couldn't beat them off with a stick. Once July started they got much lazier about responding and were less willing to come down on price. 3. Don't expect the dealer to do something or get time sensitive information to you even when you think it is in their interest to do so. Keep track and push them on it (this applies to all business, but a lesson I'm retaught every so often). 4. Learn what is actually available in your area (Toyota changes available option combination by region) and tailor your requirements and expectations to that. Use the Toyota website's "Build your own" and put in your real ZIP to get a feel for what package combination are sent to your area. If a dealer tells you that you cannot get it that way in your area, it likely means that he doesn't have any that way. The only way I found the Toyota website inaccurate was that it didn't include things like floor mat and sill protectors that every van I looked at had and that some dealers like to tack on dealer installed extras. Decide on what compromises you will make and how much they are worth to you. 5. Get online quotes from every dealer within a reasonable driving distance- I set mine at about 40miles. Some dealers will not respond, or give half-assed response; some won't have what you want in stock and will quote you the next closest thing. Let the quotes roll in and limit responses to point out if they sent you the wrong options or vehicle in their quote. Sit on it a few days to a week and the dealers who sent quotes and are hungry will start checking on you. Take the highest, worst quote and let them know they were the worst and roughly how much the best quote is and see if they will undercut it. Work the way down the list. Avoid the phone as much as possible in the early stages and try to only talk to a dealers when things get serious. Verify everything they tell you on the phone in writing/email, if they don't respond directly by say "agreed/not agreed" to each point keep pushing them on it. 6. Don't buy anything the finance manager is trying to sell you. Maintenance plans, extended warranties, paint or fabric protection, gap protection, etc.- these are the real profit centers of the sale for the dealership and can all be bought much cheaper elsewhere. For example the 7yr/75K platinum warranty has a Toyota suggested retail of $1350, but dealer listed it for $1650 and would "give it away" for all my trouble with them at $995. I declined and found another dealer online who is willing to sell me the exact same Toyota backed warranty for $580- the original $1650 price had at least $1100 profit built in for the dealer! Similarly the gap coverage they wanted around $500 for can be bought from my insurance company for less than $3 per month and I can cancel anytime (like when I'm no longer anywhere near upside down on the loan). 7. Before leaving the dealer with your new vehicle, make sure they installed the rubber plugs. On the Sienna (and many other Toyota models) there are four holes on the bottom of the vehicle used to secure it for transport and four rubber plugs the dealer is supposed to install in those holes at delivery prep. The plugs are to limit road grime, salt and water getting inside and corroding the structural components of the chassis. Many dealers fail to install them and either leave them in the glove box or toss them away. I didn't know to look for them until a few days later and then found they weren't there and weren't in the glove box either. Since I don't have the time to drive to the dealer and wait for their service people to put them in, I had them mail them to me so I can put them in myself. On the whole I'm very pleased with the van itself. No workmanship problems found yet and we've been familiarizing ourselves with everything and playing with the toys and gadgets. While the sand color exterior is not exciting the taupe interior is really growing on us especially as I remove the stupid warning stickers they put everywhere. The isolation of the ride bothers me a little sometimes, but it is quiet inside and it goes quick when I want it to. If the trip computer is honest, we're getting 22mpg on our first tank of gas with around town errands and a trip to the Festival of Sail in San Francisco... we'll see when I go to fill it up for the first time.
2009 Camry Hybrid
by bob_graham on Wed May 14 23:07:27 PDT 2008
Bought a 09 Camry Hybrid - UP Package - Carpet Trunk Mat set. Sticker with Freight = $27,359 Concord Toyota / Concord CA had an ALL in stock sale 4/26/08 - $23,995. Had zero hassle. They said better pick the color and test drive quickly as they were moving them. Picked a Black / Beige unit. Agreed to make the purchase and they stood by the newspaper pricing. I think this was about $1000 below invoice. My guess, they were moving them to build up the allocation for summer when the gas hits 4.50 + in the San Francisco area. Had friends go the following weekend and they were told that was a one time deal on the Hybrids. FYI, I went to Walnut Creek Customs on North Main and ordered the Sirius Satellite. They do cars for the Toyota dealer around the block. The price was 1/2 of the price the dealer wanted, installed. had the windows tinted and a clear bra installed. Satellite radio sounds great with the JBL 440 system. The first tank avg was 40.3 MPG. This may be the perfect car for today's gas prices.
Re: 2008 Matrix [skr2]
by nippononly on Tue May 13 23:09:22 PDT 2008
Here in the SF Bay Area many dealers are offering all remaining '08 Matrixes in stock for $2500-3000 off MSRP, depending on the dealer. Just find one in your area that's big, then go in and offer them $3000 below MSRP, better yet make them the offer via internet.
Is the current incentive regional?
by wrxcsti on Sat May 10 22:15:14 PDT 2008
Is the current $2000 cash back or 0% financing only a regional offer? In California, is it only S. CA getting the offer (e.g. Los Angeles zip 90012), but NOT northern California? When I put in N. CA zip code (e.g. San Francisco zip 94111), no incentives showed up. It happened on both buyatoyota.com and Edmunds.com. Can someone confirm this? Also, there are a lot of feedbacks on pricing from East Coast on this forum. Anyone here in CA can share the price in the market? I'm interested in a Limited AWD with Option H (e.g. 8 seater, 20-in wheels, Nav, DVD, etc.). Thanks.
