U.S. Toyota Dealers without Mark Ups

Y’all got it towed in with an u-haul rental trailer? Wtf. Car deserves more love than than that!! lol

I towed mine home on a uhaul trailer... I am curious how they cleared the front ledge of the trailer when on the trailer. I remember the front end being lower than the front ledge where the front tires rest on. I don't see anything under the tires to raise the front end up...

Everywhere I been looking are below Msrp now. $51-$59 OTD prices depending on trim and options installed.

I went to a dealer today and there are 3 sitting in the show room. They are even offering test drives. Sellers market is gone - now the issue is how much of a buyer's market is there.

I think there will be a decent uptick (at least in the US market) after April. Once tax returns are filed and the weather clears up for the rest of the country... I expect more will start disappearing off the lots. Won't hurt any when even more 500HP+ tunes and videos keep filling up YT. Plus when more people see the realities of getting a C8 (or rather not being able to get one). Still, it's never gonna fly out the door - everyone is too much in love with their RAV4 and Camrys to change their minds once they're in the dealership. Although it seems like the number of people that enjoy actual driving are getting smaller by the day... everyone just wants their cars to do everything for them while they stay glued to their phones.

Anyone know what dealers in the AZ area or area around AZ that are willing to deal on the Premium?

there is a lot of interest in the c8. i would think this will reduce sales at least for a time as some people hesitate to make a purchase.

there is no experience with the c8 and i would expect it to have a lot of issues since its a new design for gm. but if your read peoples posts these days, c8 is something to be awe.

Oh it looks absolutely fantastic on paper, slightly less amazing in photos, and a bit less than that even in person (IMO at least). If they wouldn't have had a strike, and would have made more allocations up front - I'd probably have gotten one instead of the MKV. However, considering they are just starting to make the first ones this month for those with deposits, and the entire year's allocation is already spoken for... any that hit dealerships are going to be ridiculously marked up I think.

Add to that the fact that GM struggles to produce reliable versions of cars they've been producing relatively unchanged in decades... and I'd guess the rattles, quirks and lack of dealership support MKV owners are facing will seem bulletproof by comparison. For everyone that's looking for a "weekend car" or racing platform - the C8 would be a better choice. For people like me looking for a DD that's more fun than a Camaro, 370Z, or Mustang - while easier to find than a Cayman (especially with the same options) - the MKV is a compelling alternative.

Full disclosure... I'm already planning on getting a C8 in a few years after they have some time to prove themselves and the initial rush is over. Sure I might have to pay more by then, but I'd have an option at least to pick up a used one as well. Risking $56K on Toyota/BMW makes (slightly) more sense to me than $70K on GM... someone else likely has different math though.

Can you tell me what the invoice price would be? Kind of want to wait for the 2021 models to come out but if the price was too good to pass up might have to take a road trip to Indiana.

I have a red premium model with no miles and a region demo with 4700 miles that is downshift blue. Which one do you want info on? The blue one was written down by Toyota because of the miles. It was one of the car and driver review cars.

I posted the invoice pricing a few months back before release; will see if I can find it. However, the difference is roughly $4k from sticker (before any mileage discounts or other shavings).
