How much discount can “Roomy” get?
We investigated the current discount market price as of May 2024. I found out that I could get more discounts than I expected.
| grade | Purchase date | vehicle discount |
option discount |
Total discount amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GT | September 2023 | 300,000 yen | 00,000 yen | 300,000 yen |
| G | April 2023 | 50,000 yen | 50,000 yen | 100,000 yen |
| X | March 2023 | 50,000 yen | 100,000 yen | 150,000 yen |
| G | February 2022 | 250,000 yen | 150,000 yen | 350,000 yen |
The maximum discount was 350,000 yen. This is just an average target, but I would like to aim for a total discount of 250,000 yen, with the vehicle price being 200,000 yen and option discounts being 50,000 yen.
“Roomy” discounts, key points to successfully purchase cheaply
- Consider purchasing at the end of the fiscal year. Or have a business meeting around the end of every month.
- Consider rival car models, compare and contrast about 3 car models, and even bring it up during business negotiations.
- If you have a trade-in car, first have it appraised by a dealer, then have it appraised by at least three other companies, and then sell it to the highest bidder.
- Check to see if you can get discounts on the main unit and options.
- When purchasing through installments or leasing, you may be able to get a better deal on the total price if you consider other options than going through a dealer.
- At the final stage, you press no and make an immediate decision at the desired price.
- Get a quote from a different Toyota dealership

1. Consider purchasing and negotiate at the end of the fiscal year
Toyota’s financial results are aimed at monthly financial results, interim financial results at the end of September for the first half of the fiscal year, and year-end financial results at the end of March at the end of the fiscal year, which are quarterly financial results in June, September, December, and March. It might be the eyes. Salespeople also want to increase sales at this time of closing, so they may be willing to negotiate on price. I’m sure they’ll work really hard especially during the fiscal year-end settlement at the end of March!
2. Consider rival car models and compare and consider about 3 car models
Including competitors can be used as a bargaining chip in business negotiations. As a salesman myself, I understand that when other companies enter the market, we are forced to compete on price. It also lets the other party know that you are planning to make a purchase soon, which will help lower the price.

Roomy competitors
Competing models within Toyota are no good. For example, I am worried about Roomy and Aqua. Be sure to estimate and consider products of the same class from other manufacturers.
Recommended car models of Roomy and competitors
The following are the models that are perfect for competition in terms of body size and lineup. It may take some time, but please try getting a quote from another company at your dealer. However, what often happens is that when you get a quote from another company, you find that the other company’s product is discounted or offers a better product, so you end up purchasing from that company. It is also important to know about other companies.

- honda fit
- nissan note
- Mazda MAZDA2

3. Trade-in car appraisal
If you currently have a car, think about how to sell it for the highest price when you get rid of it. Please be sure to also request a trade-in appraisal at the same time as requesting a quote from Roomy. Based on the appraised price given by the dealer, consider getting quotes from at least 4 other companies to sell your car. This is required.

Reasons and experiences
I have had good and bad appraisals at dealers, but of course it is necessary to compare with other companies. For example, in my case of selling a Prius that I had driven for two and a half years, the difference was 640,000 yen when I got the appraisal results.
- Dealer: 1,660,000 yen (condition: if picked up next week)
- Company A 2,230,000 yen Condition: If it can be picked up the next week
- Company B 2.3 million yen Condition: If it can be picked up the next week
- Company C 2.3 million yen OK until the next car is delivered
4. Check if you can get discounts on the main unit and options.
For example, the discount amount will often be greater if you add the main unit and options than if you only add the main unit and few options. The reason is that the discount amount for the main unit and the discount amount for options can be generated separately. Therefore, the discount amount is listed for each of the “base price” and “option price” above. However, of course, the more options you have, the higher the total cost will be, so be sure to select and add the equipment you want and then ask for a discount. Of course it will be more expensive if you add everything.

5. When purchasing in installments or on a lease, you may be able to get a better deal on the total price by considering options other than going through a dealer.
For example, let’s say “GT” costs 2 million yen including miscellaneous expenses.
- Loan amount 2 million yen
- No down payment
- Bonus payment 0
If you calculate the difference in interest rates under the above conditions, you will see a huge difference in the total repayment amount. If you borrow 2 million yen for 10 years at 5.5%, you will pay an additional 600,000 yen, but if you borrow 2 million yen for 10 years at 2.5%, you will only need to pay 200,000 yen plus 400,000 yen. It also makes a difference. So, one way is to look for an auto loan from a bank or other company that can provide you with a loan with a low interest rate.
If the interest rate (annual) is 5.5%
| Loan period | Monthly repayment amount | Total repayment amount |
|---|---|---|
| 3 years | 60,391 yen | 2,174,079 yen |
| 5 years | 38,202 yen | 2,292,094 yen |
| 7 years | 28,740 yen | 2,414,100 yen |
| 10 years | 21,705 yen | 2,604,519 yen |

important point
Cheap, car loans from banks have the strictest screening process, followed by loans affiliated with dealers, but the interest rates are higher accordingly. The more lenient the loan screening by other financial institutions, the higher the interest rate.
6. At the final stage, press no and make an immediate decision at the desired price.
If the discount is not the amount you want, just tell them your desired amount without any hesitation. If it’s that amount, I’ll sign the contract today, but if it’s still difficult to get the discount you want, you have no choice but to give up and say it’s the best you can do.
7. Get a quote from a different Toyota dealership
The store that I am familiar with is Toyopet, but there are many other companies as well.For example, if you get another estimate at the Chiba Toyota store, the price may change. This happens because the companies are completely different, so if you get a quote from the same Chiba Toyopet store, you will quickly find out through information sharing that the other store is paying the same amount. So please try again at another Toyota dealer with whom you have no capital ties.

- Chiba Toyopet
- chiba toyota
- Toyota Corolla Chiba (now Chiba Toyopet group)

Toyota exclusive advantageous “Maintenance Pack”
*Pack contents vary depending on the retailer.
A maintenance pack is a package that mainly includes vehicle inspections, legal inspections, and maintenance necessary for vehicle maintenance. There are some packages that only include vehicle inspection and maintenance and legal inspection and maintenance, but many packages include after-sales services in addition to vehicle inspection and maintenance and legal inspection and maintenance, and the price is set to be cheaper than the regular price. It is characterized by a large number of
For Chiba Toyopet “Medium Class”
For example , this is a simulation of applying for a maintenance package of 2 and a half years (30 months), 3 years (36 months), or 5 years (60 months) for the medium class “Roomy”.
| Maintenance period | Regular price | package price | Great value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 and a half years (30 months) | 85,767 yen | 64,326 yen | 21,441 yen |
| 3 years (36 months) | 158,912 yen | 119,184 yen | 39,728 yen |
| 5 years (60 months) | 208,245 yen | 156,184 yen | 52,061 yen |
If you plan to keep your car for a certain amount of time, you will find that it is better to apply for a package than to pay for regular maintenance and vehicle inspection each time.
For those who really want the desired amount
If you are really struggling with discounts, you may want to look for a new or used car. It’s more affordable than a new car.
A final word
If you want to sign a contract this year, try negotiating for the “interim financial results” or quarterly financial results at the end of September , as the price of Roomy may further increase and the discount rate may decrease with the next improvement or full model change. This year is my goal. However, as it becomes a new model, there is a high possibility that advanced equipment will be added, so please take that into consideration when purchasing.
