Buying a 2012 Toyota Venza, and saving $5000 off of MSRP.
I did not buy from the dealer referral by Carcost, (Stouffville Toyota) as I had already been to them and was "turned off" by the sales rep's style and approach. (This was not the same person suggested by CarCost, who may very well have been more suitable). When I told Markville Toyota I had the CarCost report, and what I wanted by e-mail, they seemed quite willing to skip the usual BS, and negotiations were relatively quick, and by telephone. There was a bit of a glitch over finding the colour I wanted (even though I gave 3 choices) and trying to stick me with a few hundred dollars more if they had to bring it from Quebec, or for a pearlized paint in a non-chosen colour. However, all in all it was relatively painless.
