Do you think $10,300 off MSRP the best I can do?

Or has anyone done better?

I'm looking at a Crewmax SR5 that stickers for $34k

That sounds like a crazy deal. Hard to think you could do much better of better at all.

That seems pretty darn good to me. I ended up getting about $3000 off sticker and 0% for 60 months from SETF. I shopped around and had been to 5 dealers before I bought mine back in October of 07. Beware though....at that discount they will probably try to kill you in "dealer fees" and crappy trade-in value if you have a trade-in. My deal really came down to getting a reasonable trade-in value for my 2006 MazdaSpeed6 GT.

I've had my eye on a Limited Crewmax for the past month or so and the hangup for me has been the trade-in value on my 2001 Supercrew with 25,600 miles on it. The current incentives here in the Bay Area will certainly help.

That is an insane deal. I just got my new Tundra for $26,000 with a MSRP of $34,000.

Depending on region, there are massive incentives right now. Until July 7th, you have $1500 "bonus cash" and after the 7th, this drops to $1000. In addition to that, there is the regular $3000 cash back or 0% for 5 years. If you title the truck in the name of a business, you get an extra $1500. That's a total of $6000 in rebates.

Now you have the issue of the dealer discount. If you choose an in-stock unit and the dealer doesn't have to place an order, you can get them below invoice pretty quickly. That means $3000 or more depending on the trim level (higher price means higher mark-up and therefore, more room to discount).

In Socal, the rebate is up to $5500, and I saw a few ads over the weekend offering $10k off on all Tundras in stock, just FYI.

Can you tell me which dealers made this offer? I'm close enough to L.A. that it would be worthwhile to make the trip there. Also, I know that the Sunday paper probably has a lot of car ads. Are any other days of the week good for car dealer ads? Thanks

The $10k off ads were for all the Power Automotive dealerships (Irvine, Cerritos, Buena Park). If you go to powerdirect.com, you can check out all their inventories. I bought an '05 Tundra from Power in Buena Park and dealt with a girl in the Interent Dept. who was pretty good.

Saturday LA Times has the most car ads, but you can p/u a Saturday OC Register, too.

Good Luck!

What is hard to believe is that it is even a question. I never thought I would see anything like this working for Toyota. $5 a gallon will do it to you I guess. It is great for those looking to buy, sucks for those that bought when it came out because trade in value has dropped way down

sorta like the housing market

Happy shopping

lawstud · #11 (**permalink**) 08-07-2008, 12:17 PM

you can probably get another 10% off. I've seen up to 11.8K off of MSRP of 30K. with 10k i've been told there is 10% more for negotiation .

I've also seen a 4.7L base 4x2 msrp 26k for 16K in the newspaper in CA.

Im glad to see 10K off sticker is not too far fetched..

I did a lease on a Tundra Crew Cab, Tundra Pkg 5.7 Yesterday.

I took advantage of the extra incentives for businesses which are an additional $4000.

Here is what it came to:

Deal: Base MSRP 31,115 with Theft Guard, Bed Liner, Towing Package, upgrade wheels, running boards, All Weather Mats & Window Tint

lease $235 for 36 months, only $235 due at signing and residual value of $13,960.

We did this with Vandergriff Honda in Arlington. Our sales guy was David Kim.

Not bad for a GIRL....smile!

A few weeks ago, a dealer in Chula Vista had a simple ad in the Saturday Paper. $11,200 off MSRP of any 08 Tundra in stock with a V8.

They had over 15 tundras that qualified. I was heading out of town that night & didn't have time to pursue it..

Good Luck!!

Have you seen any current ads? I am in the market for an 08 Tundra. There are some good deals up here in Ventura County, but am hoping they will get even better as the 09's get closer. Joe
