Tacoma Sales YTD

Yikes, the start of the year was down like 70%. April's was better but still down like 25% from last years sales.

Is this because of the high MSRP of these things now?

 

"April was better"

You mean 200% better then the month before? 88% of April 2022? Its clear the lack of sales was due to the QC holdups and high rates. Looks like its getting much better since the QC hold was lifted

 

I wouldn't say just the MSRP being a factor. large jump in MSRP, People potentially holding out for hybrid variants, potential dissatisfaction in the appearance department are all factors.

 

Everyone always forgets about a ramp up phase and it did not help that they stopped shipping in February for a QC hold. But with that typed out...they are starting to stack on the lots. Found one that broker Jim R had on his list for $4600 off....deals are out there and more are coming. No reason to pay MSRP anymore!!!

 

Exactly. I find 15,000 sold in April with all the talk about "new model bugs! Too expensive" to be quite impressive

I need Jim to get some hybrids!

 

Have the typical “Toyota is screwed!” YouTube videos started yet?

It’s hard being an old white dude on the Internet. If he was a girl he’d be doing his third transparent try on haul for the week.

 

Oddly enough... those haul videos provide more value then lil kenny

 

It’s because they are barely available to buy. Hard to sell what hasn’t been built and shipped yet while production ramps up. You can’t compare full rate production months to initial release months.

 

Isn't this for All new Tacoma sales, not just 2024 models but include 2023's that haven't sold yet?

 

price went up 25% sales went down 25% not rocket science really.

 

So whats the logic behind the march and april increase? 200% increase. Was there a 50% price cut?

Dont be ridiculous lol

 

The month in question in april. Obviously March and Feb look more like changeover months where there was no supply

 

But... you just used yearly numbers in your 25% price increase 25% price decrease logic.

How does it make sense to use ignore supply in your original comment, but mention supply when I bring up March vs April?

March, Feb and April are all in 2024

 

Obviously we have to give it some time to see how things pan out. Prices on the new model are up quite a bit. I personally think the true test will be next year when all the people that had to have the new Tacoma get one.

 

I will increase the sales by one when they start making PreRunners.

 

They will sell lots of non-hybrid, hybrids will pile up just like the and be discounted just like the Tundras are doing. The masses don’t want Hyrbid stuff but some will fold for the right price.

 

Toyota should have kept the 3G around. Tacoma Classic, they could have all been AC 4x4 with the 4 & 6 cylinder.

 

Personally could care less about Toyota's bottom line. Sluggish sales will mean deals available to those in the market.
