Hello!
Does anyone know if there is usually a charge associated if a dealer trades cars from one region to another?
I am interested in a 2007 Limited 2WD I4 .. but I am not intersted in the:
- JBL® AM/FM 6-disc in-dash CD changer with satellite radio capability [11], MP3/WMA playback capability, hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth® [12] wireless technology and nine speakers (includes subwoofer and steering wheel audio controls) (EJ)
The following options are just right:
- 50 state emissions, Daytime Running Lights (DRL), Power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade
This options will show up with Toyota dealers in say Chicago, or Iowa City, but I am in Oberlin, OH, which is about 30 miles West of Cleveland. Is there a map that shows the regions?
Do they usually drive the cars to the dealership, or do they get shipped on a truck? Extra cost for buyer?
What are my chances to get my local dealer get me a car without the fancy CD player w/ 9 speakers(!)/Bluetooth setup and the options I can get in the (midwestern?) IA/IL region?
Will I have to pay extra for this so that it will negate the $600-$650 I would save by not getting them? What should be my negotiation position/strategy for this?
I buy a car every 15 years or so, so I'm not very experienced, this will be my 3rd car. I appreciate any input/suggestions.
Thanks, Esmail
