I just got back from my local Toyota dealership, Daytona Toyota, and I think I will be in shock over their pricing for the rest of the day! (maybe even the week!)

This is for a 2008 Trail Team Auto:

$24,135 - Base MSRP
31 - Fuel Surcharge
625 - FJ Roof Rack
1,840 - Convenience Package
699 - ToyoGuard Plus Protection Group
5,110 - Trail Team Special Edition
399 - FJ Drop Hitch Receiver
149 - Passenger Armrest
159 - Window Tint
735 - Manu., Del., Process., Handling
699 - Dealer Fees
3995 - "Adjusted Market Value"

$38,576 - PLUS TAX, TAG AND TITLE, OF COURSE!!

You would be lucky to get out the door here at anything less than $41-42K!!

I tried to deal with this dealership before, in March '06, and they would not budge on their $4995 Adjusted Market Value then on an '07 FJ UNTIL AFTER, conveniently, I had made a deal with another dealer at MSRP!

Just FYI.............The ToyoGuard has the same junk other dealers use under different names to pad the price, like paint sealant, roadside assistance, VIN etching, etc. The Adjusted Market Value, which they had at $1495-1995 on other vehicles, including "regular" '08 FJ's, includes free lifetime oil changes and loaner cars! WHO CARES?!?! For that price, I would either change my own oil, go to a Jiffy Lube, and either walk or take the bus and save $5K!!!!

I met a salesman and one of the sales managers, who made sure I knew that today was the best day to buy, as it is the last day of the month. Oh, and the sales manager told me it would be their only TT, since each dealer only gets allocated ONE!! PLEASE!! I told them I had to talk to my wife about it, so I had an excuse to leave. Of course, I did love the way it looks, but I was really only there to see one in person, since I hadn't before.

Just thought you would like to hear my story..................
