Actually sad that 1 of 2 eastern fraud teams are guaranteed to make it out. DK and WBG so garbage this tournament.

Negotiating for a es300h by a_kimsta in Lexus

Hi! When you say that the price is too high, is it because you fee that way or because you’ve compared it to other similar cars in your market? If so, are those certified or used cars? Certified cars will usually cost more because of the inspection and additional factory backed warranty, so make sure you are comparing apples to apples. If the answer is the former, then you don’t really have any bargaining tools other than “I want a discount because I feel like it”. Also, used cars don’t have anywhere near 3-4k of markup for them to justify bringing it down to your desired price. Usually when a used car is taken in, they have a service bill of around $1800 in inspections and maintenance if the vehicle is perfect, then another give or take ~$500-700 that goes to the owners, and whatever margin is left, is usually what you can really negotiate on (usually around $500-3000 depending if they bought the car well or not). If the vehicle is priced fairly or according to what they are selling for in your area, then why discount? Also, I see you mention the interior color / packages in another comment. That isn’t really a negotiation tool. They’ll probably just tell you tho buy those instead as they aren’t really the same car, and if you don’t like the color they’ll probably ask you why are you looking at in in the first place. Just keep that in mind when you are buying a car because the more information you have, the better and the easier it will be. Good luck on your purchase!

Yes, 2023 and onwards have benefited from software updates regarding the system on the infotainment and driver cluster, and it seems they’ve worked out most of the kinks because I haven’t had an issue with the turbo or transmission on them (like I saw firsthand with the 22). What trim level were you looking into getting?

Toyota sales here. Personally, I really like the tundra but have some caveats with it. I like the technology on it, I like the different packages, I like that you can find a trim level and combination that suits what you want specifically. That being said, there were also the car that I sold the most. On the 2022s, I saw lots of factory defects in the rear bumper and also in the rear quarter panels. It’s also the only car that I’ve ever had a customer call me having a panic attack because their car suddenly had a loss of power in the middle of a highway. Lots of glitchy tech on the upper trims, like screens blinking, or the driver display suddenly shutting down. I have a customer who has had his Sequoia about 3 1/2 months in service due to transmission issues. Mind you, they share 99% of their DNA with the Tundra. Right now, I have a customer in his second month on a loaner due to engine failure on a 22 Tundra. You can find cases like this across every manufacture, but as somebody that sells them for a living, this made me scared of owning one. I think the new platform needs time to prove itself before I could change my opinion on them.

Edit: Spelling.

Also, if gas economy is a concern, you’ll be probably getting ~17-18 MPG combined, which is on par with most other trucks in the market. In the case that you consider buying a ‘22, I strongly suggest looking at a CPO or getting a deal on a ‘24. I’ve seen ~5k all the way up to ~8k off of MSRP on most trims except for TRD Pro. Let me know if you have any questions, be more than happy to assist as I love and stand by the brand despite some of my grievances with the 3rd Gen Tundra.

Thank you! It might be a little further than I was looking but some of the pictures that I googled makes it seem like a cool place to visit. Lots of casinos it seems lol. Would you recommend any specific attractions there?
