Hello,
This is my first post here as I am about to order a 2007 Tacoma. This site has been invaluable during my Tacoma research over the past few weeks. I loved my last vechicle - a 1997 4WD Pathfinder - but it was totaled during a recent tornado. In trying to replace it, it seems that the combination of options I want/need are not available on any existing trucks so I am planning on ordering the following vehicle:

Base: $25,515.00
-----------------------------------
Total: $33,927.53
My questions are regarding the pricing. I am using an internet/fleet salesperson but am being told I will have to pay MSRP since I am ordering a "special" truck. To be honest, I really want the truck and have the means to pay full MSRP. Plus, I did my research on Consumer Reports and CarsDirect and the MSRP base + options are really not that much over invoice (compared to, say, a Silverado). However, something in my head can not get over the fact that I seem unable to negotiate even a few hundred dollars off the price (or get a few "toys" thrown in for free). Has anybody else ordered a "special" truck and been able to strike any sort of deal?
Thanks,
Jay
