Maybe I am misunderstanding when Tomi is talking with dealerships, but is installed packages the AddOns that delivrd tries to get taken off the price and then get the best deal on MSRP? Or are they trying to get the best discounts on the Total price? I am being offered 50k out the door on this car but out of my area, locally it’s at 55k. What should be my target. Any help is much appreciated
Got this offer.
Was wondering if this is good or not?

In April I decided my lovely wife was due for a new car. Her 2016 Honda Pilot just passed the decade mark, and my seventeen year old has been driving it. She's been driving my F-150, and I had a company car until recently when I took a 100% work from home gig with my company. I told her I’d buy her any car she wanted. She decided on a Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited. She wanted a specific interior and exterior color with the panoramic sunroof and panoramic camera. I called a few dealers in the area, and the Hybrids are basically unobtanium. Not one dealer actually had a single Grand Highlander on the lot to test drive. We ended up driving a used one, and she loved it.
The best deal I could get was for $500 off MSRP for a car with the wrong interior color that would be delivered in August. That deal came with a $1,500 "protection package" that I didn't want. I was starting to get aggravated. I’d been watching Tommy’s videos for a while, and I decided to use them.
I contracted with Delivrd back in May. Our first meeting with the consultant was in June, and we talked about exactly what we were looking for and our expectations. Besides the single color and the two options, we also had several options that were “No-Gos” like black wheels and mud guards. I understood that it was going to be difficult to locate a vehicle like this, and I was prepared to have to wait a while.
We were notified about two-weeks later that our deal process was beginning. All notifications were via text with links to a webpage devoted to our deal. We had two deals go into the system quickly. One was the wrong model (HybridMAX) and one had some options we specifically didn’t want. I turned both down. After about 4 days I got a message from our deal coordinator asking to talk. We had a quick call where he talked to me about a deal for the exact car we wanted with a dealership about 1500 miles away. The deal was for $3,497 off MSRP. The only downside was the vehicle was not expected at the dealer for another month. Given it was the exact car we wanted, I was happy. I paid a $1,000 deposit and we waited.
The car ended up at the dealer at the end of July. The process of completing the purchase was totally seamless. The dealership was very helpful, and they didn’t try to up sell us on any add-ons. They even did all the paperwork to register the vehicle. The plate will be mailed to us so we don’t even have to go to the DMV. I paid about 2/3rds up front and financed the remainder with Toyota on a 3 year loan at 4.5%.
The only hassle was shipping. Our Delivrd coordinator hooked us up with an outside shipping coordinator. He set us up with one shipper who fell through at the last minute, and we had to go to a second shipper who ended up having to get a repair on the trailer that cost us a few extra days. The shipping coordinator was great, and Delivrd was also in the loop making sure everything got done. It took a few extra days, but stuff happens.
The MSRP of the car ended up being higher when the car was delivered to the dealer, but they honored the original price. Ultimately:
MSRP with destination: $58,908
My price: $55,200 ($3,708 discount)
Out the door with tax, title, license: $59,662
I paid Delivrd $1,000 and $1,150 to ship the car. Money well spent in my estimation.
Given how little flexibility we gave Delivrd on colors and options, and the scarcity of these cars in my area, I’m extremely happy. I would give them a 9/10. Every person we dealt with was friendly, helpful and I received replies to any questions I had in an expedient manner.
I will use Delivrd next year to buy my son a car. It is worth a grand to avoid the crappy dealer experience.
I’m trying to get a RAV4 Limited in a very specific color combo. Really, I just want the grey interior with HUD and a color other than white/black. But it’s been nearly impossible to find one without being on a list for months. I’m willing to ship but I don’t want to pay markups. Should I pay Delivrd $1000 to find it for me? I know odds of me getting anything under MSRP is slim to none. But I’ve already called well over 10 dealers near me and have been completely unsuccessful. Don’t want to wait too long either since my trade is losing value by the second (Kia).
I'm just curious to see if it's worth it to use Delivrd service for the upcoming 2026 ES 350h. I am thinking cause this car just released there will be no discount available for the vehicle. I was planning to get a Camry but man those guys are assholes in my area. I would appreciate it if people with more car buying knowledge can weight on this. Also, will Costco Auto Program be worth getting for the discounted price? Thanks in advance!
I love Honda Fits. It’s what I learned to drive and I just feel so comfortable in the car. I found a 2020 fit with no issues/accidents but 100k miles, but in my budget range. I don’t drive much and have a pretty short commute, is this a good choice I am hoping it would last until 200k miles and get me through graduate school? I see some other cars with a little lest milage, but the reliability of the fit seems to cancel it out! Edit: I found a 2016 with half the milage for the same price and went with that! But even so, both were a great catch
Hello everyone. Has anyone used delivrd to get a Nissan frontier pro 4x? If so how was the experience? If anyone knows what are the average savings if any ?
Hi guys,
I need advice on what is a good price for a 26 Camry xse fully loaded. I been seeing people being able to get it for 38k on reddit but the lowest I am getting over the phone is 44k... I live in DFW and really tired of getting raped by these dealers. I had one told me over the phone that I can get it for that price and when I went there they said nope. They then try to sell a lesser car for the same price and after they wasted 1.5 hours of my life they wouldn't even let me take the buy order sheet with me. Saying it's against the store policy... any advice would be appreciated and if anyone can give me a target that I need to aim please let me know.
Is there any advantage using a service like Delivrd for a high demand car? Looking at NX 350h in DFW area. I’m assuming there are no deals to be had in Lexus hybrids these days. Is the only advantage just not dealing with the headache of going to a dealer?
