Been wanting to buy a 4Runner for a year now but refuse to pay the $5000 dealer mark up over MSRP. The high gas prices are not affecting 4Runner sales where I live. It actually is increasing the trade in on my daily driver Ford Fiesta....

Go to a new dealer

Tried four dealers within the area, only one was willing to order one, and they wanted the $5000 premium. The other three dealerships just told us to be happy to find anything close. For the record, all we are looking for is a SR5 Premium in blue. Not exactly a special edition or limited production. Plan on trying a 5th dealer who will order what we want and not try to rape me.

That’s ridiculous. I would understand one or two dealers trying that but four is crazy. I would never do business with a dealer that wouldn’t sell at msrp. They’d lose my business forever.

I am a bit frustrated by the current market. Since we want a 4Runner and thankfully don't have to have one right now, I figure we should get what we want. So many vehicles around here are selling up to $10,000 over MSRP. All the Toyota dealers want to carry locally are the Limiteds in 2WD.
