$2500 for Dealer Delivery cost???
 

I am being charged $2500 for Dealer Delivery costs... does this sound right to you? <STRIKE> My Dad was charged $1000 for his RAV4</STRIKE> from the SAME dealership and thats a bigger car than the GTS. :iono:

Any advice? What did everyone else get charged for dealer delivery.

EDIT: BTW i am in Western Australia.

EDIT: Argh i feel like an ass now. Sorry guys the shit my Dad told me about his RAV4 DD price WAS WRONG, he was charged the same from the dealership we are both getting our cars from. He was qouted $1600 for DD from another Dealership.

$1500

Dealer delivery is a crock - its basically profit.
When I bought my BMW the dealer delivery was $4000 - but then because I get a corporate discount they make it $1000.

$1600 in Cairns

I don't understand how they can justify these mark-ups..

From my understanding they are not allowed to charge any extra from what is on the Toyota websites RRP.

Dealer delivery is a grey area. With inflated dealer delivery charges the dealer must be able to substantiate that the vehicle does cost more to freight/prepare for delivery.

FCK BRO, im GLAD SOMEONE MADE THIS THREAD....

I'm furious at the dealer delivery being $2177 dollars? my mate's one was like $1800, and I called the dealer, the dealer just said they don't control dealer delivery prices and blah blah blah, I'm like wtf, you guys being at 5 dock (the dealers) are not in rural australia or something....how is $2177 justified?!?!?

BTW my 86 is only GT as well? further, I'm not prepared to argue anymore with the dealers as I'm worried that they would treat my baby inappropriately as it arrives :(

I have been quoted $2,495.01 <--- .01? IS HE FUCKING WITH ME? for both GT and GTS.

I hear people saying "as long the total price matches the online price, dont stress."

Well for the GTS Auto i an being charged $42,700 all up

and on the Toyota website it's

RRP
$37,990 [P1]
Full Driveaway
$42,630.34[P1]

for the GT Manual (which i am switching to) he is quoting me $33,990

and on the Toyota website;

RRP
$29,990[P1]
Full Driveaway
$33,877.82 [P1]


[P1] Recommended Retail Price (RRP) excludes dealer delivery, statutory charges and metallic paint

shouldnt matter aslon as the drive away price is the same.
I got offered $33500 DA fot GT Man and another $6000 for the GTS.
i think it was $1875 for dealer delivery. from Grand Toyota

Bro, i got charged 34868.69 for a bloody manual GT, its nothing to close to what the online price was....below is my receipt of the breakdown of costs, perhaps lets share yours as well and we can compare?

Its not like they need the extra cash, dealer principles take a $5,000 - $8,000 cut on each vehicle sold, depending on the value.

One HSV dealership that I do some work for said he does about $9,000 - $10,000. This is not profit obviously, just cash flow.

They also get a cut when they arrange your insurance the day you pick your car up.

I just paid $2500 as well for mine.

What dealership?

hmmm, but then despite the cash flow cut, how does our dealer delivery cost vary that much....anyhow, I'm happy to get my 86! and see u on friday buddy ;) very excited!:bow:
