2009 LB S 3-DR MT

[2009Toyotoad]

I had the same problem in California. I was basically told I couldn't get a 3dr LB with manual and factory cruise in California. I found two in the Toyota dealer net. One yellow in LasVegas and one white in Carson City, Nevada. LV dealer was all about collecting fees and dealer add charges. So I told him to sit and spin and drove the 268 miles to Carson City, NV on 5/2 before the rebate period end 5/4. I was back on the road in less than 90 minutes driving my 3 door.

One word of advice, these days cash talks and everyone else waits / walks. If you want to deal with these toyota dealers setup the sale ahead of time. Most of the sales people are standing around doing nothing. Call them. Get the price locked in before you drive to the dealership. If you've got a trade-in try to sell it seperately first or be prepare to dicker on that price. I drove away $9,100 lighter in the pocket and less one 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Speak from the position of strength and get them to realized they are blowing the deal over a few hundred dollars. The pressure is on to move that inventory. Cash flow rather than dealer profit is the name of the game. Some of these dealers will be gone within a year because they can't make sales volume. They all realized its about surviving 2009 and 2010 in the hopes of greener model year profits in the future.
