I am planning to buy a prerunner regular cab w/ SR5 Package #1 in the next month or two. I've never bought a new car before, so I've been doing my research.
I am not going to negotiate at the dealership (I will email or fax).
I am going to pay cash (I have a check from my insurance company).
Ignoring Sales tax, I want to know how low I can go without the dealer becoming vindictive. (I am going try to not take up a lot of his time, so it should be relatively painless for both of us).
The price I am going to offer will be O.T.D., defined as "including all dealer fees, destination charges, title, license, or any other charges required for me to drive away with this car today." (No sales tax for the purposes of this posting)
Prices of prerun reg cab taco w/ SR5 & destination charges:
MSRP (Edmunds, Nada, Kelly, Yahoo, Carsdirect): $17,555,
Invoice (Edmunds, Nada, Kelly, Yahoo): $16,080,
Suggested prices:
Edmunds TMV: $17,512
Carsdirect Price: $16,668
So, clearly, my O.T.D. is going to be no higher that $16,667.
I am thinking of offering invoice. Would anybody recommend an offer below invoice for an 2007 model?
