    Has anyone ever heard of it? I'm in the market for 2016 and was talking to my best friend, he said his employer Honeywell has an awesome car buyers program he can share with two friends/family per year. Basically he explained it as the car is bought hassle free for under invoice and Toyota compensates the dealer. Almost sounds to go to be true loll!

    Anyway we went to the local dealership tonight and they do do the program, but because they didn't have the truck I wanted on the lot they said the discount was per vehicle and couldn't tell me what the discount would be without a truck.

    Has anyone ever bought a Toyota this way?

    Thanks for the reply. We finally got a dealer to honor it and looking at just under 33 out the door on a 16 off road 4x4 dc with tow package bed cover and matts. Best price I could find. Hoping to close the deal today.

    very common practice with larger companies. the company I work for buys hundreds of f-150s, f-250s, f-350s, and fusions every year, with "custom" options and paint. as a result, we have a deal, that all employees can go buy any ford for 15% under invoice. all we have to do is walk into a ford dealership and point at what we want. unfortunately not usable by family/friends like your buddies deal.

    Hmmm. We're not getting under invoice, but I'm still happy with the price. Just knowing that dealerships are full of shit I wonder if I'm getting the correct deal.

    My buddy said that the reason Honeywell has a deal with Toyota they make their Turbo and some other parts.

    It sets you up with a fleet dealer, just like a good credit union would. I bought mine through this program.

    different companies, different deals. it makes sense that a manufacturer would give a bigger discount to employees of a company that spends millions of dollars on brand new vehicles every year, than to the employees of a company that Toyota buys parts from.

    sounds like you got a good deal though.

    How did the prices go? I ask because the dealer is now saying they can get me the price without the program and then sprung a $700 dealer fee on me. I afraid the dealer is not really giving me as good of a deal as I should be getting with the Honeywell program. Was there a particular deal you got that showed the Honeywell discount?
