Is this a good deal on a 2008 FJ?

Here is what I have so far on a Silver FJ, 4x4 with Auto and the following:

C7 - Convenience Package
CQ - Convenience Package
DK - Preferred Owners Manual
UP - Upgrade Package
Z2 - Preferred Accessory Package

MSRP: $30,815, but dealer is asking $28,176.00.

Is this good, or do you think I can do better?

Looking forward to joining the FJ club.

Sounds like too much to me. You will find if you shop and stick to your guns the dealer will give in. Work off of dealer invoice.

offer him 25 and work from there. If you belong to a credit union you can plug in the VIN and know exactly what the dealer has in the vehicle less his holdback which is between 2-3% of the dealer invoice.
