Despite titles, we are in our 40s (I'm almost out lol) so I don't worry that she is a responsible driver (way more than me lol!).
j/k.
Curious - do you even have to go to an out of state dealer or can you do the entire transaction remote and have it shipped?
Its all done remote. Since Covid hit dealers have changed methods to keep business going. They overnight the paperwork you sign it and then overnight it back. The sales person also helps get the car on the transport truck. They take pictures and send them to you so you know the condition of the car when it left.
awesone enjoy!!!Despite titles, we are in our 40s (I'm almost out lol) so I don't worry that she is a responsible driver (way more than me lol!).
That said, she lived in the city without a car for nearly 20 years - last one was a Ford Ranger so she's used to this kind of power
It will be an adjustment and will take getting used to but I'm confident she can.
My biggest fear is she won't go above 3k RPMs
And make sure she isn't applying her makeup and drinking coffee or talking to her best friend while driving........
). No thanks.Yeesh, sounds like the dealerships in my area. Glad you guys have decided on a color. The white is definetly a good looking color for this car. i went with the A91 Refraction Blue, but if that color wasnt available i would have gotten the white as well.Ok so back from Dealer #2.
They had a white 3.0 Premium which she was interested in buying.
The salesman (kid) first came back saying they usually do $5k over sticker but were able to give it to us for MSRP (which also negated the $1500 cash back offer from Toyota
As we were ready to walk his supervisor came out and tried the normal tactics. I basically said give us a price. They came back with 9% off, we countered with 12%, they said no and we walked.
Keep in mind this particular car was sitting on the lot so long they needed to replace the battery and it was filthy from sitting. They had like 6 others (of different colors/flavors) on the lot. The sales kid also tried to tell us they are the only dealership in my area who has Supras and then we told him how Dealer #1 had 2 and we test drove last night but whatever.
I think 9% discount (which is separate from the $1500 cash back from Toyota) is a fair deal but when they tried the high pressure BS on us like "If I go back to my manager with this offer I'm charging your credit card" (I said you better not lol) I didn't get a warm and fuzzy about this particular dealer. Also, they were visibly upset when we said "no thank you" instead of saying "Hey give us a call if you change your mind".
So we'll check out other dealers on the internet and see what's up.
On a positive note, she has decided on a color - Absolute Zero. I don't normally like white cars but I agree this is the best color option.
Yea we both got an "ick" feeling from them. It was a good deal but didn't care for the way we were treated.
It's your (or your GF's) car. If she thinks the car is worth the price, I'd recommend you just buy it. It is true that there is a major shortage of semi-conductors and resins in the auto industry that is shutting down factories world wide so it can be a very long wait.Ok couldn't wait for tomorrow so took a test drive tonight. My GF loved the car.
However, the salesman (we're in NY) said:
1) Price is $10k - $15k over sticker!
2) A Toyota plant shut down and they cannot order cars and hardly get any Supras.
3) He also said they fly off the lot but the two they had were nearly there a year?
4) Said all dealerships (regardless of make) are the same due to low supply as a result of COVID.
Can anyone offer any input? I don't think these are selling as hot as he made out but who knows.
