    I’m trying to negotiate a Platinum from a dealer that has added a dual TRD exhaust and N-fab step bars. They sent me an email with their internet pricing which was about $1000 higher than other dealers within 500 miles. They came back to me stating that the exhaust and bars are the reason for the price difference. I really don?t care for the bars but like the exhaust. Any recommendations for negotiating? Looking for past experience on this one guys.

    $1000 for the trd exhaust and the steps is worth it. the trd exhaust alone is over $1000. I have that exhaust and I love it.

    maybe have them put on step bars that you like?

    I paid $750 for the exhaust. I got the mufflers with 5k on 'em, new tail pipes ($400) and installed myself. I'd say 1k is worth it. Maybe work on getting rid of the steps?
