Great info for a fellow DFW'er, thank you. Have you heard how Longo Toyota of Prosper is at pricing or deposits?I think this is market dependent. In my opinion Ford has been one of if not the most egregious on marking up their vehicles. DFW Ford dealers are still asking $5-$10k over MSRP on things like F150 Raptors or any trim Bronco and they have plenty of selection on the lot. You can probably find something at sticker if you go to one of the small town rural dealerships but then you are less likely to get one at all with their 1-2 allocations per year.
Sadly I’ve seen many Toyota dealers around here turn heel over the last couple years as well and the salesman where I bought my 4Runner from at MSRP has since retired. I talked shop with another salesman up there a few weeks ago and he was adamant that the new Platinum Tundra on the show room floor could not go for less than $5k over due to “market conditions”I was adamant that I would not be buying another vehicle from them if that was their current stance.
I have seen Ram and GM go back to discounting their stuff. Ram pretty aggressively, GM less but still $1-$2k under on stuff like Sierras and Yukons.
On another note Lexus and really all the Sewell dealerships around here regardless of brand have been some of the nicest, easiest people to work with. Low pressure, no mark ups, (yes they add window tint and ppf stuff but if you put the word in before the vehicle hits the lot that you don’t want any of that they are happy to oblige) No money down to get on their “list” for a GX, meanwhile Park Place wants a $1k deposit. I have a problem handing over money when there is no goods or services they can offer me right away.
