It's Just a Truck

I know it’s just a truck, but what I didn’t know was that a smile would be stuck on my face for the entire 50 mile trip home from the dealer.
(picked it up last night)

Now if only I could find a decent bed cover that allows use of the Deck Rail cleats I’ll be all set.

Ill Be Getting Mine 500 Below Invoice
Prove it!

I know that sounds bad and is immediately going to put you on the defensive, but....I just don't believe it yet.:(

Go into details, as this cannot be a straight cash deal. Help people out if you are truely getting that kind of dealer less than 2 month after the release of the new Tundras. It does not help any of us out on this site to post that you are paying some rediculously low amount without telling us how you are doing it.
i called three dealers one was 500 over invoice second 100 below invoice. he send me this email today.

Jose,

Hey I just wanted to tell you about a few specials I am running this weekend only if you want a new 2007 Tundra, boy do I have a deal for you!! How about $500 UNDER Dealer Cost Invoice

That does not prove anything. That email (if real) sounds alot like the adds dealerships run in the paper. They may have one for that price as long as you qualify for the current incentives, and most likely you will show up and it will be sold. That email is doing nothing more than baiting you.

Again, prove it. Exactly what truck (model and options) are you getting for $500 under "dealer cost invoice"? What are you trading in? How is it being paid for? What is the interest rate?

You still are not helping.:(
LMAO. "boy do I have a deal for you!"........This coming from a man named Tiny.

Good luck. Hope you get what youre looking for.

Man, congrats on the new truck. Beautiful color! Looks great.

I got an acceptable deal given I'm from southeast florida, home of the $3,000+ over MSRP market adjustment. I got mine for $1000 over dealer invoice. It was a "no haggle offer" from another dealer in the area and I was happy to pay it after talking with some other dealers in the area.

Sounds like a very good deal on a new model. I personally don't ever pay much more than invoice for any truck or car I buy. Most times I pay less. They still get their dealer holdback. The key is not being so in love with the vehicle that you are scared to walk away.

But then again I won't buy a new model til a couple of years after it is out.

This kind of reminds me of when the 05 Tacomas came out and people were actually paying 4000 over msrp. A year and half later you could easily buy one at invoice or less. It took me 6 hours last time to get my 03 Stepside Tundra for near invoice and looking back that actually was a first year with the new front end and first year for the stepside so I guess I did good on a sort of first year model although the Tundra itself had been out for several years.
Beautiful truck! If you decide to part with your wheels and tires, let me know.

MSRP for my truck was $23,744, but I paid $19,000 OTD. Dealers are discounting and there are incentives from Toyota, depending upon the model you want.
Justa Bum,

I guess we both have similar taste's in car's and truck's. My '07 Tundra is the same color as yours, except that mine is a CrewMax:tu:

I see that you own a 2002 BMW M3:tu: I own a '05 M3 ZCP with a manual tranny. Got to love the E46 M3:D

Good luck with the Tundra DC:tu:
I notice todays paper here in central Florida has an add from a local dealer quoting " up to 5000$ off 'MSRP' on all 2007 Tundras ". How close is that to the prices you all are paying? Discounting this early in production does not bode well for a new vehicle. I'll start looking in 2008. Thanks.

Statements like "up to $5000 off MSRP" are usually more misleading than accurate. While I'm sure they're not lying :rolleyes: it probably means the full 5,000 only applies to a vehicle on their lot with every possible option on it (including Nav, dual exhaust, etc.) And don't forget about Jim Moran's cut which isn't included in the MSRP (every toyota sold by SET must pay an extra fee, close to $700)

Like I said in a previous post, I paid $1000 over invoice (invoice including SET's fee) and you should insist on at least that, although it's probably not realistic expecting deals for less than $500 over dealer's cost, IMHO, at least in the SET area.
If you think you got a good deal, you go a good deal. Depends on where you live, what dealers can get for their vehicles.

Anyway, Good looking truck...Congrats...
