A91-MT buyers, what are you ACTUALLY paying?

[Wah]

I have been offered 4.8% discount off the list price of a MT Supra Pro (in UK).

Can someone explain the discrepancy between the actual sticker price, which makes no mention of or charge for Driver Assist, and the website that shows it is a mandatory option with a >$1k upcharge? That changes my answer for how much over MSRP I paid.

if I go by the Toyota website number, and I accept the fact that I got full value for the carbon mirrors, paint protection for hood/door cups, and rear carpet mat that came with the car, then I paid <$1k over MSRP. I’m also accounting for the tax savings I got for the increased trade-in value that we went back and forth on, which netted me about $1600 in tax savings over selling it to Carvana.

Just got off the phone with a dealership in texas. They are asking for 85k. For an A91 cul. If they would have met me at around msrp or 1k more I would have started the paperwork. Why so much?

The law of Supply & Demand on the dealers’ parts, and a combination of impatience and FOMO on the part of we the buyers. I oringinally had a deposit down on an Absolute Zero, and then I had the opportunity to move to a CUL for a few thousand more. That was an easy decision, but not at $85k (or $75k or $65k, but to each his or her own).

I forgot to add “greed” after Supply & Demand on the dealers’ part above.

I would do 65k out the door. Any day of the week. And I totally understand supply and demand I had a 2021 sti. Those things got crazy expensive. But is anyone actually paying that 85k price tag?
I wish I could just buy one directly from toyota and have it delivered to my house.

I'm guessing that's the one in grapevine. They said they had multiple people "attempt" to buy it but financing keeps falling thru. My guess is a bank doesnt want to finance a car for 20k over lmao. They said they could come down a little, but wasn't even close to what I budgeted for the car. I kept calling around and finally found a 2nd CULater for 4k over (1st got totaled)

That's sad that the first got totaled. Kind of makes me sick to my stomach actually. I have been on the phone with so many dealers that won't even sell to out of state residence. I get it. Just hurts not being able to find one.

What dealership in Texas that did 4k for u?

its in another state. the high markup one is most likely grapevine

I honestly cannot remember since I have called over 20 dealers in the last 2 days

Can someone help me obtain a premium Manuel at msrp or a91-mt with 9k markup with no ad on in Texas? I’m in Dallas but can drive within 300 miles. I can Zelle that person $500 in cash if it leads to me buying one. Thanks

probably easier if you just look out of state lol. theres a a91 in maryland or va (i forgot which) and their markup is 10k for out of staters

It does not, according to Toyota. That's a tough one to integrate with a manual trans.

My ‘21 GLI had adaptive cruise that worked great, so it’s certainly doable. Like wind buffeting and unsynced dual climate control, I think Toyota just decided to make us live with it. I’m personally ok with it, but their “continuous improvement” seems to not include creature comforts…and we creatures are the suckers who buy their cars.
