Good for you on pushing back! I'm fortunate enough to live in a state that has a $150 cap on doc fees but I've heard of some doc and marketing fees exceeding $1k!

25% off is a steal! You got a great deal.

I'm also in the Seattle area. As of a few weeks ago Harris/Pierre weren't budging much beyond 15% off MSRP w/ a trade in (less discount without) and same for Evergreen Ford. A buddy who recently bought an F-150 and I both agree that Evergreen seems to be more up front in negotiations and working...

If I were you (I'm in a similar boat) I think you're going to be able to get a better deal without X-Plan as soon as February. It shouldn't be hard to get under invoice at all I'd think if you can wait it out a few weeks. X-Plan makes sense if you hate negotiating but it's not always the best...

Are you able to confirm the invoice value you received matches what Edmunds or KBB reports for your truck? Thanks

I am of similar thinking and have been tracking inventory at several Seattle area dealers. For 2019 Lariat Super Crews I recorded 168 at five of the largest Seattle area dealers on 12/23. As of 1/11, that number is 162. Partially unrelated, I am curious what everyone's experience has been in...

Credit unions are probably going to get you the best offer. BofA quoted me 2.9% 48mo and 2.99% 60mo with strong credit. Most banks list their "best" rate on their website so a little research could go a long way! Be sure to ask about pre-payment penalty, what the process is to pay down...

I've had conversations / test drives at several Ford and Toyota dealers and the best advice I can give you is to make initial contact via the website, then ask to be put in touch with an Internet Sales Manager. I have found ISMs to be much more upfront, less hassle, and respectful to deal with...

Roger that. This is for Seattle area. Toyota incentives apply to all models except TRD Pro.

Is it a full moon tonight? Toyota incentives on 2020 Tacoma are higher than 2019 Ranger right now.

I did a test drive of the Ranger and Tacoma on Sunday. On a loaded Lariat about 45k they weren’t willing to discount more than a few thousand. He confirmed a lot of what the other dealer I chatted with on Saturday told me. I’m really scratching my head on how they plan to move all these 2019s in...

The 6MT is only available on TRD trims which excludes the base SR and SR5 models and top end Limited luxury truck trim. The 4 cylinder is only offered on the SR and SR5 trims. I test drove a Tacoma with a 6MT back in December when I started getting closer to making a purchase. I can confirm that...

I had a call with an Internet Sales Manager at a Ford dealer earlier today to gauge any hidden incentives and how aggressive dealers were willing to be on the 2019s. In general I have had good luck dealing with the ISMs over the usual sales people. Less BS and straightforward (I return that...

I think those are the default / non-incentive interest rates. There are new rebates of $500 Retail Customer Cash and $750 Select Inventory Cash expiring 3/31/20 on XLT and Lariat models reported on a dealer site I've been monitoring but they aren't listed on Ford' site. Ford could still be...

I test drove a 2020 Tacoma 6 speed manual and it was definitely quite sluggish at low speeds. I even second guessed whether it was a V6 at first. I however didn’t have any problems merging onto a freeway. At low speeds the Ranger definitely felt peppier due to the low RPM torque. That said I’m...

I am in the Midwest visiting family for Christmas and was filling up a borrowed car and couldn't help but notice how much of a range there is between the different fuel grades at a Shell: regular 87: $2.59, midgrade 89: 2.99, premium 93 $3.39, diesel 2.99. Compare that to Seattle where premium...

In Seattle, at the Chevron I fill up at, generally mid grade is 10 cents more than regular, and premium is 10 cents more than midgrade. Diesel is generally the close to the price of regular, nearly always less than mid grade. Right now unleaded is $3.57. State taxes here are 49.4 cents + 18.4...

I thought you all mind find this interesting if you're watching for deals on a 2019. I recorded inventory numbers for several of the Seattle area dealers on Thursday 12/12 and again on Mon 12/16. The value in the parentheses is the change over the weekend. From what I can tell all 2019s have...

I have a question for Apple CarPlay users who own Lariats with the dual displays in the instrument panel. It appears that the right screen is used for Navigation and Sync 3. Does anyone know if the right screen is used when you are operating Apple CarPlay with apps like Spotify or navigation...

You'd be surprised what kind of deals are possible in larger markets. I've seen Lariats with $6000 in dealer discount, $2000 in incentives, and $1000 in trade assistance this summer. With the current XLT incentives going on right now, I see many dealers offering $5000 in dealer discounts + $6100...
