2024 Land Cruiser
I want to advertise it for Toyota dealer in my area. As many has known that Bay area is one of the area that dealers inflated the sales price with the highest markup.

Toyota Sunnyvale has at least three cars in their allocation that they are selling it for MSRP. I know at least one of the car (LC Base) has actually been in their lot for 3 weeks untaken. I was almost confused that the market doesn't actually like Land Cruiser that nobody is willing to buy a car at this high price. Their sales keeps calling me to sell these models even I have already ordered a FE. So if you are in the area looking, give them a call that is a rare opportunity to get the car in MSRP in California.

I guess I'll say the same thing. :)

There's a 1958 MS and a LC Prem Sand at my dealership that haven't sold. Yakima, WA The LC Prem is just exactly what I want, but the sand color is not jiving with my brain. So I wait......
(Meanwhile they have 2 LC prem coming in, presold, with 20" wheels....)

I purchased several new Toyotas in the past couple of decades and Iโ€™ve never been able to order one. Perhaps they have recently changed their process?
 
I did a search earlier today (I'm in Marin) and there are over 100 1958s within 50 miles of me. Many of them are already discounting as much as $4k off of MSRP.

Doing a little search, invoice on a base model is $52,600. Feels like it wouldn't be hard to get to invoice with some negotiation and given the big inventory out there.
 
I went into a Toyota dealership to test drive a 1958 on Saturday and the salesperson said "we're offering $1000 under invoice today". That would have brought the car to about $51,000 without any negotiation.

So yeah, they are ready to move these things, especially with consumer spending down and dropping. New car sales are down as well.

LC level is more rare so that is likely a different story.
