When will they start discounting the Gen 4's?

Right now you can get a new 2015 G3 for MSRP minus $3,500 or so, depending on your location and negotiating agility.

Now is not the time to be looking at a G4.
1. It's tax refund time.
2. G4's are still relatively new.
3. Bargain shoppers are still buying G3's....because they're just as new as the new G4s as far as mileage is concerned. Dealers know that some people have to roll the newest sheet metal, and they're able to stick it to those early adopters a little harder.

Wait a little more when the dealers are a little hungrier, or pay up.

Your call.

 

Seems as usual Cali Folks get the great deals!

 

I can still buy cheaper here than from Lady Di. in CA, but I know how to deal.

 

Where is "here".....

I'm always willing to travel a little for a deal

 

DFW Texas...but location has nothing to do with it.

 

Copy. Thx.

Maybe fill us in on how you deal. It would be appreciated. I think of my self as a pretty darn good wheeler / dealer when it comes to buying and selling cars but I would appreciate your perspective...

 

Yeah I'd say the same, I was in an unusual situation in that I didn't even know I was going to be buying a car this year, I had an inoperable car and driving my husband to work wasn't working for me just the 1 day I did it. We would've done it for a few more days to find the car I wanted if the dealership didn't have a car I liked but I wasn't willing to try to save another 500 or whatever but I'd say we were lucky in that money was the least of our concerns.

 

They typically start discounting them the day after you buy one. In which case, don't look back...

 

The cheapest listings I have found on Auto Trader nationwide has been Maryland and Florida. Not sure why?

 

government disincentives?

 

Tell me about it -- package 4 with ATP + PCP is now $31,389 (Portland, OR) -- c'est-la-vie.

 

and probably 5 or 6 years from now, you won't even remember what you paid, enjoy your new car....

 

Once I buy the vehicle I do not look to see if someone got a better deal. It will not help me at that point and as long as I am happy with the deal I got I will live with it.

Only use the Fleet or Sales Manager and hit every Dealership in your driving radius...or more if need be. They will pass down whatever small commission there is. Tell them exactly what and how you want it "including and excluding" Regional and Dealer add-ons...they can get it I promise you. Let them know your honest time frame and this is going to happen...whether through them or someone else. They don't have time, nor will they waste time on looky-lues and non-serious buyers. Get your own financing set up ahead of time...and don't budge. Check out the attitudes of those that work there. It's easy to hear people bitching about this and that while your hanging out. Also listen in over at the Service department to see if customers are getting scammed with injection cleaning and other such horse manure, and ask to speak to the Service Manager after that letting he or she know you want the best of both worlds...sales and service. By this time you should easily have narrowed it down to 1 or 2 dealerships. Now use "your" negotiating skills, but be friendly, personable and firm. This may all sound common sense...but to many people just walk in and "play the game" with the first attacker...I mean sales person. Most of these folks turn jobs faster than McDonalds.

I have purchased the last 3 Toyotas from the same Sales Manager. I walk in, he sees me, rolls his eyes and asks how I'm going to -uck him this time, we laugh, go outside to burn one and start talking.

 

Right now in the Southern California market, if you push it, you can get $1500 below invoice plus the $1000 rebate for a total of $2500 below invoice. Does not have to be a Costco dealer, if they don't want to play, just be prepared to walk.

 

I got what seemed to be a very good deal (at the time, in Feb) on my Gen4 Three model, using TrueCar.com. $25k. (I almost went with a 2015 Gen3 Three model... they were down to $18K.)

No hurry. No rush. Retired. Probably could have gotten an even better deal on a 2016 at the end of the year. I'm curious to see if, and how much, they might be discounted by December/January. (I might buy a sporty "Four Touring" , and use it as my weekend car...

 

Was offered $28k after offered $33k for Level 3 with TSS-P and walked away, never looked back. Even $25k, I would have walked.

and there are some f150 drivers who wouldn't pay 10k for one.

 

I wonder what is safer to drive -- the F150 with all its mass, or a Prius.

 

probably an insurance study somewhere, but accidents come in all forms. the crash testing is about all you can go by.
