Paging Coach Guidry - Tacoma

I was about to go in and sign paper work for a similar Tacoma, however the one I dealt did not have the TSS package but it was a 2015 doublecab, 2wd, v6, sr5 package, tow package, upgraded alarm and chrome tube steps. 27600 negotiated price, 30,500 OTD about 9% tax.

ETA: to give you a estimate on your pricing, MSRP with installed options was $30,203.

Yeah - depending on incentives - you're typical sale price on a Tacoma is anywhere from $1600 to $2500 off the MSRP - so with TTL - it's shockingly close to MSRP.

They don't have to sell Tacomas - Tacomas sell themsleves.

$28,900 purchase price plus tt&l or $28,900 out the door? They have the $1000 rebate right now.

28,900.00 price is very fair. If you can get anywhere around that...youll be fine. Even around 29400.00 would still be good.

Have one just took in on trade last week, has 2000 miles on it, purchased from Tea Toyota in June. Email for info & price

If you don't need 4wd I would suggest getting the SR5 package. You can also get 16" alloy wheels upgrade with that package. If you're looking at getting black rims or chrome, TSS package is what you're looking for. I've done months of research for this truck I was going to buy and settled on a price. When I asked for a purchase agreement, the dealership wanted $415 in doc and license fee, which is about $100 more than average, plus the purchase agreement numbers didn't add up after asking for an itemized breakdown. They tried to throw in a 400 vin-etching charge and said it was the computer's fault.

Truck is still on their lot. I can email you the truck link if your interested in it(details of the truck in my previous post).

There were 2 reason why I didn't purchased the Tacoma. First off, I thought the negotiated price was pretty good, I then proceeded to tell my salesperson that I do not like any surprises when I show up at the dealership to sign the paperwork so she needed to email me the detailed out the door price(purchase agreement)of the negotiated truck. The doc fee fee was $100 more expensive then any major Toyota dealership in Louisiana($200); the lowest advertised was AllStar at $50, GregLeblanc at $100, Lakeside at $126, the other major toyota dealership were all around $200. So strike 1. Then on the original purchase agreement, the price was off by $387, when I called her out, she told me that it was for vin etching and the computer automatically adds it on. So strike 2. At first I was just getting a Magnetic grey metallic, SR5 with tow package and radio, however the above dealership had a Black on on their lot with chrome oval tube steps and an upgraded alarm system for about the same negotiated price. strike 3, color.

The rims are a deal breaker for me though. I'd have to see the truck first. I don't know enough about the packages to describe which ones I'm talking about.

You're not insane but there were a couple of other reasons beside the high doc fees that were deal breakers mostly undisclosed charges(vin etching) and color. Also, advertising the truck for $395 over negotiated price before I put a deposit down put it over the top. I also told her don't charge me for the doc fees, I'll have my lawyer draft up some paperwork and notarized it and she said that wasn't possible.

She understood what I said and from the spec sheet I emailed her about the truck, she had to know I would triple check all numbers submitted to me. Trust me I had to compare apples and apples, the truck's PIOs were about $855(MSRP: $1196).
