Have never traded a vehicle in after two years until now, but HCBW...

really hated the Lexus GX460, and I didn't love it. The depreciation hit was tough to swallow, but I just decided we should get the car we really want to drive for the next 10+ years.

HCBW is REALLY liking her new Sequoia so far.

We still have our 2008 Sequoia. It has been a great vehicle (nearly 230,000 miles on it), and it will head off to BYU in January with one of the kids.

Car Dealers suck, part 357283:

I think if you order a car, you can get away from those markups...with some dealers. Probably not all.

11/1/23 9:08am

I'd call the BBB over that. I think it's illegal to do.

It should probably be illegal but it's not

Yes but you can’t advertise a price and not honor it

Ahhh but there is the fine print

11/1/23 9:49am

In most states, that's a bait and switch. They need to honor their advertised price.

Why waste your time calling the BBB? They are a pay to play group

True, the BBB is on the side of the business not the consumer

11/1/23 9:50am

That, and the BBB is like Yelp for AARP members.

Find a dealer who will sell the same car for less

Expand your dealer search. There are Toyota dealerships that won't charge over MSRP. At least here in CA I know several

The problem is that the Toyota Sequoia is in short supply

11/1/23 9:59am

Pricing over MSRP is mostly over with but apparently not everywhere

Try the Costco car buying program

Buy a Tesla - no salespeople nonsense

I did like the Tesla car buying experience. I’m guessing established vehicle

It's the dealership model that's the issue. Tesla doesn't have dealerships, established vehicle manufactures still do.

Curious, what about the 460 didn't you love? I've heard they are smooth as butter. Sequoia has more space of course
