Does anyone know if I should be paying dealer extras? I negotiated the TCh for $1000 over the dealer invoice but then they hit me with the following:
Toyota Marketing Fund (T.M.F) - $304
Toyota Adertising Fund (T.A.F) - $428
Base - Veh - HB (Dealer Holdback) - $518
PIO - HB (Pre Installed Options Holdback) - $156
Finance Reserve - $259
Does anyone know if I should be paying for these? The dealer says that all people pay for it. I am not sure. Please help!

---I don't know what this is, but it's probably similar to a dealer fee
Toyota Adertising Fund (T.A.F) - $428
--- Same thing here. But then again, isn't advertising and marketing the same thing?
Base - Veh - HB (Dealer Holdback) - $518
PIO - HB (Pre Installed Options Holdback) - $156
Finance Reserve - $259
---These are all holdback. You don't typically see them in line item charge. They are typically in the paragraph on the invoice, and you normaly don't see them.
Where did this invoice price some from? If it came from Edmunds.com or consumer reports, then that invoice price may or may not have had the hold back shown in there.
If you feel funny about the deal, goto another dealer. Most dealers aren't negotiating on the Hybrids, so if you got anything off the sticker, then it would seem like a good deal on the surface. But then again, they may have shown you a price knowing that you were going to shop them, and then when you come back, hit you with these charges to recoupe what they were missing out on with the original pencil.

If you negotiated a grand over invoice, then you should get it for a grand over invoice. there's not much you can do, those cars are pretty popular right now. I would walk away and buy another 1 somewhere else
