I got my 2024 Hybrid Platinum OTD for $60K.
Where are you located, and when did you get this deal? I’m looking for a Limited or Platinum and could wait a bit, but with these interest rates, I’m thinking sooner might be better.

Got it at Toyota Cedar Park near Austin, drove down from Houston. They’re the #2 Toyota dealer in the USA. They got me my Cypress Green/Caramel combo Hybrid in 6 months, no markups, no warranty pressure. Highly recommend! I worked with Khang for updates and Keenen for the sale. I think being a high-volume dealer helps them with Toyota orders.

With everything, it was originally $58.5K, but they brought it down to $54K with discounts.
Even with some unnecessary add-ons (those packages can be overpriced), it sounds like a fair deal. Once you subtract the fees everyone has to pay, it’s closer to $51-52K, which is below MSRP. My area still has markups, so that’s pretty solid.

Yeah, that’s the only reason I’m considering it. Other dealers just said ‘take it or leave it.’ My current car has hail damage, and I don’t want to fix it since I’ll need a larger SUV or minivan in a few years anyway. With the dealer packages (even if some are just fluff), they’re at least willing to negotiate.
A good deal would be MSRP (sticker price) plus tax, title, license, and doc fee as your OTD (out-the-door) price. That means no extra dealer add-ons or random packages except for those from the factory or port-installed options.
If you get it for below MSRP before taxes and fees, that’s an even better deal. Just watch out for unnecessary add-ons from the dealer.
