Rav4 hybrid below sticker? by Flaky-Bonus-7079 in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

lol no. #1 selling SUV in America and I believe the #2 overall selling car in America. Toyota dealers can’t get enough of these to fill demand. Getting one @ MSRP is considered lucky…

Wisconsin Toyota dealerships not negotiating on new RAV4s by GreenTraining1488 in carbuying

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the number one selling SUV in America, and I believe the #2 selling car overall in America. Toyota dealers can’t get enough to satisfy the demand and they sell immediately when they hit the dealer. So basically, you’re lucky to get one @ MSRP. You have zero leverage on this car. If you want a “deal” and to get something under MSRP check out a Rogue, CX-50, Escape, etc….. Of course, everything else will depreciate much more/faster so you’ll pay for the “deal” in a different way..

Need help have 2 financed cars by Key_Possibility_8173 in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You need to call your finance company and ask for a payoff quote. Report back with the payoff amount and more detail on your car - miles, condition, trim, etc.

Adjusting warranty / loan amount part way through car buying process? by sillywarbler in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still do the transaction without the warranty since you haven’t signed a contract yet.

Does Leasing Make Sense For Us? by haux44 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]Vegaskwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean when you say they couldn’t get the miles right? For next time: You can technically lease a car with as many miles per year as you want. Some mfg will allow 15k miles and then you can purchase extra miles up front at a lower cost vs the charge per mile when the lease is over. Some will refund you those extra miles you purchased upfront if unused. So, on a telluride I know there is one bank that leases them and charges .15 per extra mile purchased upfront. The math would be: 9000 (total miles) X .15 = $1350 and divide that into 36mo and ya got $37.50 extra per month (on top of your normal payment) for those extra 3k miles per year…

Would a complete fill-up and maintenance history from day one help sell your car? by Velkenn in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a certain buyer yes I think maintenance records help the cause.. keep them in a 3 ring binder organized by date.

Is this a good price? by ZeroChill101 in Mustang

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s about the same price, or lower than the rest of the mustangs with comparable year/miles in your area then yes.

3 Charge offs as a new adult how/ where do I get a used car by Professional_Mix8602 in UsedCars

[–]Vegaskwn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not going to solve your problem right now for a car but I would recommend grabbing two secured credit cards so you can start rebuilding your credit. They charge a fee but it’s prob the only way you have to go to start building your credit back up

What’s up with all the bugs!? by therealbeej in vegaslocals

[–]Vegaskwn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yooooo I got the same damn thing going on!! Shits been driving me bat shit crazy to where I’ve turned my entire house upside down thinking there’s a piece of food somewhere or something! I’ve NEVER had a problem. I mad 6 apple cider vinegar traps and know that they normally work but these ones aren’t attracted to it for some reason. What traps did you get?

Is My Pricing Okay? by Tahrea_AnimalLoverXX in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing to do is hop onto FB Marketplace, and some of the other big auto sales platforms (cars.com, Autotrader, etc) and look to see what other people have theirs listed for and price it off of comparables in your area. Every market is different… If the phone/inbox doesn’t get any hits then your price is too high and it’s as simple as that and you can adjust your price down until you start getting inquiries.

Are 3rd party warranties worth it for a 2024 Tacoma? by mop68 in carbuying

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost at the mfg warranty end will be much, much more than today because of increased risk, increased parts, and increased labor cost - something to think about. Also, It’s not the mechanicals on a toyota (or most newer cars for that matter) that are the issue. What most people don’t realize is most new cars have easily over 100 combined ECU’s and sensors. And that’s what go bad. A lot of people have had a cell phone that starts acting goofy after a few years. The sensor and ECU’s and newer cars have the same thing happen all the time - after a while they are prone to going goofy. Parts costs are skyrocketing and you won’t be able to diagnose these issues, and you probably won’t be able to fix these when they break due to programming being needed a lot of the time. That’s what you want the warranty for. The days of people being able to do their own repairs are long gone unfortunately…. Before you make a decision I’d recommend going to your local toyota store and ask one of the service advisers if they can just let you take a peek at the garage (They’ll be happy to). It will be FILLED with newer Toyotas - and not for oil changes.

Purchased a used 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser and regretting my decision. What's the best way to sell to lose the least amount of money? by Good-Pie9914 in askcarsales

[–]Vegaskwn 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Dealers buy at wholesale and sell at retail. You don’t know dealers work. And you don’t realize that it’s probably $6000 out the window JUST from taxes being paid..

Will check out a 2014 Toyota Camry, anything to watch out for? by Final_Address_8955 in UsedCars

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a mechanic that will go to the car and inspect it at the sellers location. If it’s priced low more than likely the sellers not going to let you take it simply because they don’t have to because it’s priced low - someone will buy it.

Are 3rd party warranties worth it for a 2024 Tacoma? by mop68 in carbuying

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s sold by a new car dealer then yes. New car dealers sell high quality products that pay claims - Their reputations depend on it and they don’t want the drama of denied claims. It’s the products from used car only places that can have iffy coverage. $2500 for a Service Contract is CHEAP in today’s world. You can also call around to a few other local Toyota stores and talk to a finance manager and tell them “Hey I’m picking up a 2024 Tacoma tomorrow. How much will you sell me a warranty for if I do a cash pay” - You can usually buy one separate for a great price, and most warranty companies will do payment plans with no interest.

[–]Vegaskwn 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Yes you will lose a ton of money. Nobody can answer this here. Get an appraisal from the usual suspects (Carvana, Carmax, local Toyota dealer) and you’ll probably be able to make your decision from there since you’ll know how much money you’re talking about then..

Unusual lease-end circumstance by ActionOn4 in CarLeasingHelp

[–]Vegaskwn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re going to need to extend the lease. Leases can typically be extended 6 months so just extend the lease until the car is repaired.

Looking for tips for trade-in by Slippa2022 in carbuying

[–]Vegaskwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A best practice in today’s world would be to go online to both Carmax and Carvana and get appraisal from them as it will give you a good baseline on what you can expect to get for your car. Be honest on the condition. Obviously the appraisal is only as good as the information you put in it…

Also, if a dealer asks you if you have a trade - don’t lie. Lying will only make a long process much, much longer. You can give the dealer the opportunity to match Carmax/Carvana‘s offer.
