    So just had a very wird experience with alamo Toyota in san antonio, tx. Im in Dallas, TX and found this army green crewmax TRD sport in alamo toyota san antonio tx. So i contacted about price and they quoted me very aggressively. Mspr was $49k and the guy "caleb lee" at dealership sent me quite for $41,196+ttl. I requested to quote me OTD before any toyota incentive so he quoted me otd $46,090. After negotiating he agreed at $46,800. So i decided ok i will drive down there tomorrow and pick it up, just to be on safe side i demanded he send me purchase prder so i dnt have to deal with any bs like dealer fee on top or any aurprises since its a 4hr and 30 min drive there. First he said he will text me as firm i insisted him to send me PO he said we never do that, i asked him then how do u do online buying since all dealerships offer online buying no contact purchase stuff. So he finally said ok i will send u the PO. After abt 30 mins he sent me text saying they increased price to $43,995+ttl because it is trd and they are very few and sent me PO for $47,159.53. I said i will rather do my business with someone who will stick to their words thanks for your time. Be careful if you deal with Alamo Toyota in San Antonio, TX because they playing games.

    We use Shannon Brady at Charles Maund Toyota in Austin. He's a straight shooter and they are a high volume dealership so maybe they have a little more pull to get you what you want.

    Sorry you had an experience like that...

    If you are still on the hunt I know the GM at the Burleson Toyota personally and he has treated me and everyone I sent his way fairly and been honest and hasn't played games.

    Thanks for recommendations. What i am looking for is very rare kind, sr5 army green TRD sport and there arent very many so options are very limited. Only 2 in texas i was able to find were in san antonio and houston. I have already put down $500 deposit for special order with toyota of fort worth @$46,900 OTD before any toyota incentive but still looking around if i can get my hands on one sooner than that for atleast the same if not lower than what i signedup.
    I know if the dealer doesnt have one they almost arent willing to get from other dealer since they dnt have that leverage to do competitive pricing.
