- 1). Browse the selection of used vehicles available at your local used certified Toyota dealership. All pre-owned vehicles on an accredited Toyota dealer lot are inspected and certified by the manufacturer. A certified pre-owned truck can offer a "good as new" vehicle at a cheaper, used car price.
- 2). Research online databases such as cars.com or autotrader.com. Online databases give you the freedom to specify the year, make, model and color of the truck you want and only show the trucks that fit your criteria. Vehicle search engines have become a convenient tool to compare prices. Not only can you browse prices within local dealerships, you can compare prices among thousands of other dealers as well. You can sort the truck you want by price with a click of a mouse. Knowledge of what other dealerships charge for trucks to your specifications can provide ammunition to haggle with salesmen.
- 3). Haggle with your local Toyota dealers. Use your research to prove lower-priced vehicles are available. If you prefer a new truck, check on line to see the Manufacturers Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for vehicles equipped with your preferred options. Most dealers are willing to drop the price well below MSRP to make the sale. The art of haggling takes a good deal of persistence, but, if done correctly, can result in you walking out of the dealership with a good truck at a good price.
