Rebates on 2010's/order date cutoff?

[MBM]

I got a couple internet prices on Grade DC 4x4s and they are taking about $4k off which I think is pretty good. I think the factory rebate was 1750 and is now 2000, anyone have any thoughts on the rebates later in the year, better or worse?

Also, how late into 2010 or any model year will the dealer allow a truck to be ordered?

Thanks, Mark

I'm interested in this as well. When I bought my Ford truck in 2004, incentives seemed to peak around Oct/Nov when I pulled the trigger on an 04. I'm willing to wait a few months if the Tundra may come down another 1K or so.

The dealers are bleeding. On my 2010 DC Tundra 4x4 I got the $1750 factory rebate, plus another $3,523 off sticker for a total of $5273 and $9000 trade in for my 2002 Tundra SR5 4X4, A no brainer as far I was concerned. Can't help you on the cutoff date.

that's a great deal on a 2010 considering they just came out and it's still 2009! The prices I got were about 4k off but the trucks were only 30-31k. IF you don't mind, approx what was the MSRP for that amount of discount. Thanks

I got quoted on a double cab non trd 4wd 2010 5.7L msrp of 34703 only 2703 off which they claim was invoice (I think it was a little more to be invoice, not much though) to bring it down to 32K even with a 1750 rebate. I did not jump on it yet since I am contemplating if I see one soon the 4.6L to save an extra 1300 bucks plus pick up hopefully 2-3 mpg. The dealer calculated out 2 mpg increase in fuel economy at 12K driving per year only saves 20 bucks a week or about 240 bucks per year, but it all adds up. They pushed me to buy the 5.7L since they did not have in my color the 4.6L I originally wanted. I told them I will think about it. I wanted 24K trade in but only mustered up 23K and they said that was a lot for a 2007 excellent condition 4wd 5.7L SR5 TRD double cab tundra with only 25K mint condition except for tires and I saw one similarly equipped on their lot with 17K same year, etc. asking price 28900. You tell me they are not going to sell my truck for 26K and only put about 1K into it to make a 2 grand profit and then they tell me they like to at least make only 1K on a trade in to sell it. edmunds.com lists about 3K off msrp vs. invoice but they did not show me the invoice price like I requested.

Forgot, I asked their sales mgr. about rebates going up or down in August and he said he does not have a crystal ball. The thing he did tell me is he wishes Toyota would allot and build more 2010 tundra's to have a better selection on their lot and he does not forsee that happening in August either. So, my best guess is rebates will stay the same most likely or go down, but not up anytime soon unless the dealers start getting more on their lot to sell but that seems to not be happening anytime soon. NO idea on 2010 cutoff builds.
