I am in the market to buy a new crew max and looking for a good dealer to deal with. Are any selling at invoice?

Ask for Anthony ValVerde, my brother-in-law at Sterling McCall Toyota (59 S & Beltway 8). I purchase all of my Toyotas here, and since they are a volume dealer they are more willing to negotiate if you are a committed buyer(close to invoice).

For new/used Toyota sales = Sterling McCall Toyota

For Parts/Service = Champion Toyota (Shannon Brookshire/Tacozilla)

What part of town?

I paid invoice at Joe Myers. Virtually any dealer will do invoice, or maybe 100 over. The old 100 over deal is more of a policy deal, or some sales managers gimmick for good deals. Just research who has the exact vehicle you want. All Houston stores websites basically show all in the greater houston area. That stores inventory will show "in stock". Other stores, and possibly some port vehicles will show "available".

Anybody will do invoice, or 100 at worst. Just be polite, and firm.

Jim at Don McGill Toyota and Scion of Katy. He can get awesome deals on crewmax's. We have bought 2 crewmax's and one double cab from him. Great salesman to work with, will not pressure you into anything and they have a great selection right now. If you go tell him Joel Shockney sent you and he will treat you well.

I contacted them a few days ago through their internet department..gut a guy named Zu....he shot me the worst price I have seen yet out of all the dealers in Houston and when I asked about the invoice price he "POOF" disappeared.....not a way to do business in my opinion - the search continues...........

I didn't go thru the internet I walked in. I found most dealers would sell at invoice but they also gave me more for my trade.

Zu Dimangi or something??? Ya, he emails me crap all the time...

He gave me horrible internet pricing too.... 15-20 percent higher than most other dealers...

Check with Jimmy Nguy over at Fred Haas.... I bought my Tacoma from him back in 2001. I would have bought my Tundra from him last year, but they didnt have one on the lot like I wanted...

If you are up for a little trip, try Mike Dillard at Champion Toyota in Austin.... Gave me a great deal and no BS.

Quick 25 minutes on an airplane, and he was waiting there to pick me up at the airport. At the dealer for about 30 minutes, then I was on my way back to Houston.
