Is this a good price for this 2018?

Hi,

A quick question for you guys. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a 2018 Tundra and was wondering if this seems to be a decent deal in your opinion. I'm in Alaska, so I'm stuck with the shipping cost either way. The shipping would balance out should I buy a car in the lower 48 when you consider airline tickets, gas and hotels. I was pushing for a few extras and was able to swing $300 worth out of them. The salesman claimed the truck at its negotiated price was near employee cost.


Year: 2018
Model: Limited Crewmax w/TRD package
MSRP: $49,884
Discount + rebate: $4,200
Total cost: $45,684


Thank you,

 

Welcome from NY.

I think you can get a better price than that since the 2019's are out already.

 

Crew max or double cab?

 

Crewmax

*edited original post to reflect that.

 

Well considering that Toyota is offering $3,000 factory rebate, means that the dealership is only giving you an additional $1,200 discount. Doesn't seem like a good deal, but factoring in your location might make this a decent deal. For comparison, I got $9,000 off my TRD sport in California.

 

You can get a better deal since it's an 18.

 

Hi Bluecarguy,
I picked up my 2017 Limited Crewmax w/TRD package for about $43,400 just before the 2018 models came out if that helps you any. My MSRP was right in line with your at just shy of $50K. I think you can probably get another $2K or so off if they really want to make a deal.

 

Yea, you can get a better deal... push them fools!

 

I’m going to play ball a bit more with them. Found the same truck in Blazing blue in the lower 48 for $44K, so that will hopefully work the sale in my favor.
I could drive it up for $700 or pay 2-3K to ship it.

 

I really didn’t haggle much at all for my Limited Crewmax TRD and it was $44k and change in July. Had predator steps and a spray in bedliner. Seems like the same truck should be under $42k now that the ‘19s are out. But I don’t put a ton of value in being the guy who got the lowest price on any truck on the lot. I got a good price on exactly the truck I wanted - my perfect combo of color and features. If your dream truck is $45k, jump on it. If you’re settling on color or features, shop around some more.

 

Should be way cheaper than that

 

I'd settle for nothing less than 9k south of MSRP on a 2018...or walk. What's the build date on that truck? I'd bet it's been sitting for MONTHS

 

Slight update for you guys. Ive followed the buying a Tundra steps on the forum and now have started the Tundra Hunger Games. At the moment I have three matched at $42K including the 3K rebate for a 2018 Limited TRD. Waiting to see what the remaining dealerships get back to me with. One claimed they are now $1,200 below invoice...
Worth noting these dealerships are in the lower 48, so hopefully that will aid in driving the price down.

 

I bought my 2018 SR5 DC in August for $34k
