Yaris 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.

Yaris competitors

Competing models within Toyota are no good. For example, I am having trouble deciding between Yaris and Aqua. Be sure to estimate and consider products of the same class from other manufacturers.

Recommended car models for Yaris 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.

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 you request a quote for the Yaris. 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 “HYBRID Z” costs 2.3 million yen including miscellaneous expenses. This is a simulation where you prepare 300,000 yen of that amount and borrow 2 million yen.

  • 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.

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

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

5 years (60 months) 208,245 yen 156,184 yen 52,061 yen
Chiba Toyopet Smile Passport Compact Class

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. Yaris announced some improvements on January 17, 2024 , so there is a possibility that the next improvement will further increase the price and reduce the discount rate, so we are aiming for it this year. 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.

1. Consider purchasing and negotiate during the accounting period

Toyota’s financial statements are monthly “monthly settlement”, interim “interim” settlement at the end of September in the first half of the fiscal year, and end of March at the end of the fiscal year. The best times to look are June, September, December, and March, which are the quarterly settlements. At this time of year, salesmen are also eager to increase sales, so they may be willing to negotiate prices. They will work especially hard at the end of March at the end of the fiscal year!

2. Consider rival models and compare three or so models

Introducing a competitor into the mix will be a bargaining chip in your sales negotiations. As a sales person myself, I understand that if a competitor enters the mix, you will be forced into a price war. Also, it will convey to the other party that you intend to purchase in the near future, which will give you a reason to lower the price.

Yaris Competitors

Competing models within Toyota are not acceptable. For example, you may be torn between the Yaris and the Aqua. Make sure you are also getting quotes for products of the same class from other manufacturers and considering them.

Yaris and other competitors recommended models

The following models have the perfect body size and lineup to compete with other models. It may take time, but please try to get quotes from other companies at the dealership. However, what often happens is that when you get quotes from other companies, you may find that the other company’s products are discounted or the products are better, so you end up deciding not to buy them. It is also important to know other companies.

  • Nissan Note
  • Mazda MAZDA2

3. Trade-in vehicle appraisal

If you currently have a car, think about how to sell it for as much as possible when you sell it. When you ask for a quote for the Yaris, be sure to also ask for a trade-in appraisal. Using the appraisal amount given by the dealer as a base, get quotes from at least four other companies and consider selling it. This is essential.

Reasons and experiences

I have had both good and bad appraisals from dealers, but of course, it is necessary to compare with other companies. For example, in one case where I sold a Prius that I had been driving for two and a half years, the difference was 640,000 yen.

  • Dealer: 1.66 million yen Condition: If you can pick it up next week
  • Company A 2.23 million yen Condition: If you can pick it up next week
  • Company B 2.3 million yen Condition: If you can pick it up next week
  • Company C 2.3 million yen OK until the next car is delivered

4. Check whether discounts are available for the main unit and options

For example, the discount amount is often larger if you purchase the main unit and options than if you purchase only the main unit and have almost no options. The reason is that you can receive a discount on both the main unit and the options. That’s why the discount amounts for the “main unit price” and the “option price” are listed above. However, the total cost will naturally increase if you add more options, so be sure to select and add the equipment you want before getting a discount. It will naturally be more expensive if you add everything.

5. If you buy on installment or lease, you may be able to save money on the total price by considering options other than through the dealer.

For example, let’s say the “HYBRID Z” costs 2.3 million yen including all expenses. This is a simulation of what would happen if you prepared 300,000 yen and borrowed 2 million yen.

  • Borrowing 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 end up paying an extra 600,000 yen, but if you borrow 2 million yen for 10 years at 2.5%, you will only pay an extra 200,000 yen, a difference of 400,000 yen. Therefore, it is a good idea to look for an auto loan from a bank or other institution that offers a loan with the lowest possible interest rate.

If you plan to keep your car for a certain period of time, it will be more economical to apply for a package rather than paying for regular maintenance and vehicle inspections each time.

Those who insist on asking for the desired price

If you find it difficult to bargain, you might want to look for a used car, which are more affordable than a new car.

Final words

If you want to make a contract this year, try to negotiate at the end of September for the “interim settlement” or quarterly settlement. The Yaris was announced to be partially improved on January 17, 2024 , so the next improvement may result in a further increase in price and a decrease in discount rates, so this year is a good time to buy. However, there is a high possibility that advanced equipment will be added as it is a new model, so please take this into consideration when purchasing.
