DCH is huge Chinese owned dealer group where each dealer in the network enjoys a certain level of autonomy at each location--which can be good or bad. That is to say, the General Manager or minority onsite owner is given certain latitude in how operations of the store are ran. IN other words, each DCH store has a certain personality representative of its GM. Oddly, my last foray in the industry was for a DCH Toyota store on the west coast (I might be wrong but I think they own 10 or even more Toyota stores across the nation). DCH will for employees wanting to buy a car locate the specific car in its dealer network and arrange to have the vehicle delivered to location where the employee works -- will they do that for the consumer, I cannot say, I never asked, I guess one way to find out is if they have a portal to a national inventory or like autonation a website independent of a respective dealership where one can at least begin a preliminary purchase for any vehicle located in the network?
Regardless, opening a dialogue with DCH in New Jersey presents perhaps some of the same dilemmas experienced by anyone in huge metropolitan areas wanting to get a great deal on a Land Cruisers. Look, North Brunswick might be a small township with a relatively small population but MY GOD there are literally millions and millions of people within driving distance... for all intensive purposes New Brunswick is just a dot upon a vast mega city. And perhaps as my own experience suggests, this is not to your tacit advantage (to compete with potentially an infinite number of buyers) but again one can not be sure what variables are in play without at least opening a dialogue with someone there at North Brunswick store.
Who knows -- depends on few things -- obviously, DCH’s Land Cruiser is finite -- that is to say, doesn’t matter how many they think they can sell their allocation is limited, and they are painfully aware THAT, for instance, if they are to receive 16 LCs this year -- that’s it, they cannot order more and so, just as a family friend is a owner at a good sized Toyota store in California (that I once worked at for almost a decade) it is by the store's proximity to 12 million people in the Los Angeles area that if I want a ‘good guy’ deal on a 2016, I am going to have to get in line and let the dealership scalp some people first -- their allocation will be awarded to previous/established customers, people paying close to MSRP, people financing nearly the whole amount -- but once the dust settles, they’ll give a few away too -- especially if another gas refinery explodes in California.
You’ll be fine, its getting into the fray and sticking it out before wearing-out that is the difference. You’ll pay what you want and you’ll get a the deal that few others will get. Its out there somewhere -- but again, remember and consider dealers that have won Toyota’s “President’s Award.”...almost counter-intuitively because the award is tied to Customer Satisfaction Surveys, those dealers very often the most aggressive in the entire industry -- they just get deals done -- they are fluid and dynamic operations which is what you want when you’re talking about spending more than what the average American earns in an entire year of working. Its a big deal no matter how you slice it.
