Best Toyota Deals: February 2010 Lease and Purchase
Last Updated: Feb. 02, 2010
Negotiating a deal on a new Toyota used to be hard. Now it may not be.
As you've probably heard, Toyota has had some trouble recently. Throughout the fall and winter, the world’s largest automaker has been recalling vehicles due to reports of sticky gas pedals. Toyota has now recalled and stopped sales of eight models:
• 2009-2010 RAV4
• 2009-2010 Corolla
• 2009-2010 Matrix
• 2005-2010 Avalon
• 2007-2010 Camry
• 2010 Highlander
• 2007-2010 Tundra
• 2008-2010 Sequoia
If you currently own one of those models, some reports indicate that the sticky accelerator problem tends to start when the car has about 38,000 miles on it. If you experience a sticking accelerator while driving, apply steady pressure to the brakes (don't pump them) and put the car into neutral. Steer to the side of the road and don't drive the car again. If you have more questions, you can read Toyota's FAQ about the problem, or call Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. For the latest news about the recall, as well as answers to common questions, check out our Toyota Recall page.
With sales of eight models halted, Toyota dealers are likely to be desperate for your business. And while we don't yet know what the long-term fallout and effect of this issue on Toyota will be, now may be a great time to get a deal on a model unaffected by the sales halt and recall.
Current Toyota owners may save even more by switching over to a new brand. For Instance, GM is giving Toyota owners who switch to GM $1,000 cash back on purchases and up to $1,000 in lease payments. Ford, Chrysler and Hyundai are offering Toyota owners similar incentives.
Toyota loyalists, however, shouldn’t fear. The Japanese automaker has announced plans to repair all 4.2 million vehicles (2.3 million in the U.S.) affected by the sticky pedal. It has also announced new incentives and deals on vehicles not affected by the faulty accelerator -- including the popular Yaris and Prius. Most deals, however, expire March 1 -- so act fast.
Determining Your Region:
Toyota divides the country into 12 regions, offering different deals in each. The territories are listed below. But as you research your purchase, keep in mind that you’re not limited to the region you live in. If there is a significantly better deal available in another region, it might be worth the trouble to travel and buy there. If someone offered you a few thousand dollars to drive to a nearby state and back, you might very well take the deal -- why not make the same drive to save that money on a new car?
