Edumds and other sites may list current incentives for vehicle you are
interested in.  And if you call up Toyota they may tell you over the phone.

Otherwise end of month is best time to buy.  In rain.  And after you make
your final deal, tell them you are not feeling well and have to go home and
will sign papers tomorrow.  They will probably give you a few humdred more
off to make you feel better.  Finally don't screw up in the finance office.
That is where people make the worse deals on financing, extras and
warranties.

I have heard that a few days before New Years Day (assuming you take
delivery by 12/31) is a good time.

Actually, as long time car salesman, you're wrong.  Any time is a good time
to buy.

People seem to think there is this magical ability to sell cars below cost,
that dealers have to "get rid of them" or "to sell them below invoice" or
some other such silly ignorant sh.t.

No one sells anything below cost, except as a loss leader, or to drive
others out of business, which number 1, is what big volume/low cost
retailers can afford and number 2, is illegal.

A Toyota Camry cost the same in New York as it does in Canada as it does in
Texas.  And no one is going to sell it for less than what they paid for it,
no matter if it's a full moon, it's raining or a purple dog barked loudly
the night before and a train wrecked across the street and 13 bleeding
Jesuses came out of the wreck proclaiming "it's a once in a life time sale
day on Camrys!  Owner has brain damage and is selling below invoice!".

Notice they say, below invoice, not "below cost".  That would be illegal,
and the modern "invoice" is nothing but a pile of silly sales sh.t.

Tere is no magical price, no easy way to get a good price.  Like all things
in life that are not regulated, dumbed down, subsidized and given away from
free by taxing the sh.t out of hard working productive citizens by liberals
and democrats,you have to WORK and be SMART.  You have to be EDJUCATED.
( I know! lol, anathema words to a liberal or a moron!)

All the things that liberals, morons and mooing mongloids lack.
Hence, the great appeal of locating a dealership in a minority or liberal
area of town....check your maps.  See if I'm wrong.

Now, class, lets line up and see what you've learned....

Question 1.  The dealers says:

"Blow out sale, end of year, must get rid of these piece of sh.t old 2007s
or the new 2008 cars.  
All 07s below invoice, must great rid of them to make room!".

Q:  Is this true, false or are you a stupid ignorant moron who can't read
the above preceeding explanation?

what is Toyota asking to get for the extended warranty they push at you when
signing the papers?

The dealer can ask anything they want, just like for the car. You can buy a
Toyota extended warranty cheaper on the internet.

The price of the extended warranty depends on the exact terms.

If you foolish enough to buy an extended warranty, make sure it a Toyota
warranty (good at any dealer) and not a dealer warranty.

Who says? What if you bought the Toyota extended warranty out of state (at
dealer where car was purchased) and you moved to California? I think your
dealer is lying if they tell you that.
trs80 - 02 Dec 2006 17:58 GMT
when i went to the online entended warranty outfits and entered by address,
it responded that by law they cannot sell in CA and warranties must be
purchased from the dealer.  Sounds like a legal scam to me.  I can try
others and see if I get the same response.

Are you sure that you are talking about a Toyota Factory warranty extension?
It may be that California has some special laws, but you can call Toyota.com
at 1-877-267-0225 and ask them. These people are a regular authorized Toyota
new car dealer (Toyota of Iowa City, Iowa) who sells the warranties and
other parts on-line.

Here is what I found.  I tried 4 online places and all were rejected.  At
least this one place gave a good reason see below.  A friggin legal scam!!!!

"The State of California has passed legislation that prohibits quoting or
selling extended service contracts (extended warranties) to California
residents by anyone other than the selling automobile dealer. In order to
comply with this legislation of your state, we are unable to provide price
quotes or offer to sell extended service contracts to California residents.

Actually, you are far better off without the warranty. Spend the money on
synthetic oil with a quality filter, frequent transmission fluid changes by
the dealer, and frequent radiator fluid changes by the dealer, and you will
way ahead of the game.

Precisely what my private mechanic told me (he used to work at a Toyota
dealer).

Extended warranties for Camrys ARE a scam. They are NOT needed.
