Is a Platinum Trim worth the Extra Money

Depends on what you are trading in, and what they offered for it

 

2009 SR5 162,000 miles V6 DC 2 wheel Drive $8500 for Trade.

 

Depends on what the trade is. Im guessing around 10k(not sure if that good for your 09) so its about 51k total. Its a deal you should feel ok in passing up if thats what you decide. I would say not good or bad. More middle of the road. Try and get in the high 40s before trade in if you can.

 

*Revised- Not a bad deal at all

 

$40,000 after all incentives and trade in, before tax and fees, Total after taxes $41K and some change

 

I wouldnt lose any sleep on that deal. Now you just have to decide if its what you want to do. If you wait till the 2020 hits the lots a better deal might be had. Youre in the perfect spot all things considered.

 

Ask more for your trade, especially if that is the first offer on trade in. I would ask for another 1K

 

Dealer just informed me Toyota incentive increased from $2500 to $3000, Total before taxes and fees, $37,510. 2019 Platinum, 4 x 4 Crew max.

 

Youre in the perfect position! Keep working that price down!

 

I looked at both the Sport and the Platinum also. The leather on the Platinum was the deal breaker for me so I went with the Sport. Everything else is about the same or close enough to where I am not missing anything. Climate control would be the only item that I wish I had.

 

I went from an OR to the Pro, and then ended up with the Platinum.

Love it, and here's how it stands today.



@brimy311 - is mostly responsible for the good looks!

 

Now get that quote on paper, find another Toyota dealership in your area that has a similar Platinum, and tell them to beat that price.
Then.... get that quote on paper, go back to the original dealership, and get them to beat that price from the second dealer.
Rinse and Repeat. That's what I did with 3 different dealers.

 

I did, one dealer told me to jump on that deal, other told me impossible to meet that price for a Tundra in that Trim Package

 

I’d take that deal for the platinum. You’ll be sitting nice on value, but I’d still ask for lower price and when they say no ask about for a spray in liner or other extra and hinge the deal on those.

 

Platinum all the way!

 

Have read some reviews regarding quality/durability of leather in the platinum, should this be a concern the wear ability of the leather.

 

The leather quality is much better in the platinum. I have 38k miles on mine,which is a daily driver and i have a 7 year old and my leather is in great shape. The 1794s have issues with the suede frfrofrfrom what I have read

 

So what has OP decided ?

 

Buy base build it how you want save some money.

 

I was going to get a trd pro but no incentives and discounts I went with the platinum love it just wish I got the TRD Exhaust system i cant believe how much I miss it... your getting a good deal at 41k OTD
mine was less than 46k OTD here in Ohio and it was the cheapest I could find... I'd go with the platinum

 

Here are my best options, have contacted 8 dealers:

Value on trade in: 09 Tundra DC V6 SR5 161,000 miles.

Dealer A:
TRD Sport 4 x 4 CM Dealer Price $46,038.28 MSRP $49,052
Trade Value: $8,500 Total with dealer cash + trade in $15,114
OTD: $36,911

Platinum 4 x 4 MSRP: $52,943 No Running Boards, No Moon Roof, Spray In Bed Liner, Window Tint I prefer no moon roof and running boards.
Trade in value $8,500 Total with dealer cash + trade in $15,165
OTD : $40,994.00

Dealer B:
TRD Sport 4 x 4 CM MSRP: $48,300
OTD: $36,975

Platinum 4 x 4 MSRP: $53,667 Running Boards/Moon Roof, No Bed Liner
Trade In $7,000
Dealer Cash $8,500
OTD Price: $41,773

Thoughts???

 

I would get the Sport just because I don't like leather, but if you do like it, the extra $4k for leather, climate control, more electric seat adjustment and memory, including passenger side etc.... might be worth it.

 

Yes. The seats have a bottom recline position just like a recliner at home that supports your calves so your knees aren’t supporting them like a sucker. Lexus grade leather is nice too.

 

FUNNY!!

 

Dealer cash back is $3000.00

Dealer A:
TRD Sport 4 x 4 CM Dealer Price $46,038.28 MSRP $49,052
Trade Value: $8,500 Total with dealer cash + trade in $15,114
OTD: $36,911
At this price might as well go for platinum just my 2 cents here.

Platinum 4 x 4 MSRP: $52,943 No Running Boards, No Moon Roof, Spray In Bed Liner, Window Tint I prefer no moon roof and running boards.
Trade in value $8,500 Total with dealer cash + trade in $15,165
OTD : $40,994.00



MSRP 52,943 ( 200$) mark up here most likely for the basic shitty tints
- to get better tints You'll have to pay to remove these shitty tints.

- subtract 1,195.00 no boards/sunroof -

- You said spray in bed liner is that aftermarket or on port installation
The difference can be noted by the word “TUNDRA” embedded and sprayed by Toyota at the rear wall bed.
Aftermarket spraying will not have that.
Difference in quality can be debated but I would want to know what they’re claiming it to be.

- - trade in value 8500
- - dealer cash back 3000.00
= 11,500


Difference is 15,165 - 11,500= $ 3,665
Dealer discount.

52,943 msrp
- 1,195 board / sunroof
- 3000.00 Toyota incentive cash back
- 15,164. Trade + dealer discount
= 33,584
+ % tax
= OTD

Dealer B:
TRD Sport 4 x 4 CM MSRP: $48,300
OTD: $36,975
Nope because I like platinums better

Platinum 4 x 4 MSRP: $53,667 Running Boards/Moon Roof, No Bed Liner
Trade In $7,000
Dealer Cash $8,500
OTD Price: $41,773
I’d pass on this deal

 

Anyone input if these are good or fair prices for the both options of Platinum and or TRD Sport Tundra

 

Get platinum, leather is of better quality

 

I didn't think it was, I went with the Limited as a happy middle of the road and have not regretted my choice.

 

I would agree! especially lately.
Unless it's been in the shade. Unfortunately it's half and half at my work.

 

37k for trd sport ofcourse
