Looking for a new sienna. Any contacts out there?

Thanks.

Paging aggiepaintrain...

He has a contact that he mentions here time to time

aggiepaintrain@gmail.com

Ended up connecting with aggiepaintrain's guy and we've got a deal (meaning I thankfully agreed to MSRP haha)

I know everyone knows how crazy the market is but just to clarify…. There are <10 new siennas available within 300 miles of San Antonio at any time. None make it to the lot before being accounted for and there is 0 wiggle room on price.

That being said, aggiepaintrains guy got me one in the color we wanted at MSRP which is at least $3500 less than any other dealership I spoke with. Delivered hopefully next week.

In the end we got a ridiculous trade Value on wife's current car through carvana and as crazy as it sounds I'm thankful for the no mark up discount!

Cheers aggiepaintrain!

Yeah, it is a tough market right now. I was planning to work with APT's guy (have bought 2 cars via his contacts in the past), but GST can't get what I wanted to buy. Just to add to what was posted above, the vehicles showing up "in inventory" or "in transit" at alot of the dealerships on their websites right now are mostly already spoken for. If you are serious about buying something in the near future (i.e. next 6-9 months at least), get in touch with a dealership (I suggest APTs contacts) and give them an idea of what you want. Expect to wait a while, and expect to pay MSRP. Right now, the "good" dealerships are the ones where you can buy for MSRP. The rest are charging anything from $3k-15k above MSRP (as "market adjustments" or other such nonsense) depending on model and demand level.

Crazy times…..

Yup. Recently helped a relative on a purchase and it was nuts. Msrp but $2500 in add-ons for crap you don't want that FMV is at most a few hundred $s.

They wouldn't even take the $60 off for the "connectivity kit" which is $15 of cables from Amazon.

I saw one dealer that had $5000 "market adjustment" on all of their Tacomas. I adjusted myself off of the lot immediately.

Does anyone have a good Toyota contact now that Paintrain's guy is with Lexus?

I still have a guy at the Toyota store I worked at here in Brenham that some on the AB have used.

Tegeler Toyota
9 seven 9 two 7 two 6 4 two 5
Ask for Jim Clifton
Tell him Buck sent you

Which Lexus dealership? Do you know?

I think he is in Lubbock.

Thanks!

I have another Toyota contact
same pricing

I will be looking for a 4 runner in the next 4-6 months

Just curious if anyone is getting below MSRP, or is that still the best deal out there

Any suggestions about maybe getting one now vs waiting

Msrp is best case scenario now, the longer you wait you leave yourself open to interest rate risk and more supply chain uncertainty.

I would not pay msrp for anything now. Toyota of Cedar Park had about 30 new Tundras on the lot.

Vehicles are showing up on lots in droves. The used market is falling apart. Don't let a salesman fool you.

That is ironic.

I had my sons vehicle in for service at don mcgill Toyota 2 weeks ago and they had 1 new vehicle in the lot ( and it was a Prius). No new anything else, no tundra, no 4 runner etc

Interesting

To be fair almost everyone of them had a $499 paint protection and a $499 lifetime tint.

Saw some data a while back and they were one of only 4 or 5 dealers in Texas not charging over msrp but it did mention about them trying to tag for the add ons.
