2007 Yaris - Advice Please - Toyota Yaris Forums

Depends if you are buying off the lot or special-ordering: dealers are usually more eager to deal on a car they already have.

What to negotiate depends on your dealer too--also depends on if you have a trade-in. In the US at least there is not that much mark-up, maybe $1500 on cars this price range.

Just FYI, beware of hidden fees and costs (like mine had a "dealer association fee," which basically means their co-op advertising costs, plus other BS fees)--ask to see invoice with all dealer charges shown or for an "off the lot" price to get your total.

Your interest rate sounds great! Mine was 6.79% through my bank. Getting a pre-approved loan from the bank made negotiation a lot easier too.

Thanks for the replies.

I do not have a trade in. Likely, the dealer will not have the exact model I want on the lot so I will probably have to wait a week or so to get it they say. I think I am going to try to get them to give me the A/C at no charge and go with that.

While there is a little room to play, dealers dont generally make too much money off of the Yaris, so while you may negotiate it may only be for a few hundred dollars at most. But a discount is a discount!
