Thanks to everyone one these boards for your advice and discussion - it really helped me make the decision. I just picked up my milennium silver 4x4 V6 Highlander tonight! It has ash cloth and the following options: FE,RL,EH,SR,GY,TO,AG,CQ,HE,LF,CF. The MSRP is $31,822 incl dest. The people at Jones Toyota in Bel Air, MD were fantastic - I highly recommend anyone in the Balt-DC area to give them a call. Here's how the deal went down: my offer of $27,900 was accepted (which was below invoice with the options it has), but they wanted to give me $7,200 for the Civic (which I knew was a decent price considering what they are currently fetching at the Mannheim auctions and blue book trade was $6,250). I agreed to the deal if he reduced both the price of the trade and the HL by $5,000 to save me the additional $260 in MD state tax. They obliged! I did purchase the extended warranty for $1,175 which covers 5yr/75k bumper to bumper. It's a platinum plan, FULLY refundable at any time, including at the end of term if you never used it ($50 fee). I doubt I'll find a better deal on the warranty, but it gives me a 60 days opt out with no fee. I gave them some more cash and financed the rest at 1.9% to get my payment to $282/mo. I'll report back sometimes on how the car is working out. Right now, happy as a clam!

I am thinking of getting 2005 HL. Is it worth the wait and extra cost?

I couldn't find any definitive answers on when the 05's were coming out, but the hybrid isn't showing up until Jan-Feb at the earliest. There are no changes for the 05 since they just added the 3rd row seat this year and the 3.3L engine. I pulled the trigger on my 04 b/c of the 1.9% financing that ends June 30th. Short term rates are about to start going up and I don't imagine seeing any great deals on cars like the HL anymore. Good luck.

go to the dealer and show them the cash.
Seriously, if you really want one (and you know there will be a waiting list), tell the dealer you are going to buy one and tell them you are putting $x. amount up front, then you will have a good change getting one before another does.

Just came home with my second Highlander. Traded an 01 for a lovely new Oasis Green Ltd. $400 over invoice and the experience was pleasant in all ways. Can't recommend K.C. Summers in Mattoon Illinois highly enough.

I'm being offered "invoice" on a 2004 Bluestone Metaliic 4cl AWD car. The price offered is $24,783. I then get to take $750 Rebate from that. The Highlander has the Quick Order Package, Daytime Running Lights and a Towing Prep Package. Is $24,008 a good price?

24,008 is a super price, about as low as has ever been reported here. Note that some feel AWD models are too heavy for the 4 cyl engine, so you may consider test driving it some more under aggressive accelerating conditions to make sure you'll be satisfied with it.

Limited vs. Standard by pedro

A few questions.
1. Is the Limited worth the money or should I go for the standard and build options like 3row seat, leather, moonroof, until I get all the things I want?
 
2. For a AWD V6 w/ leather, moon, airbags and a few others, I was quoted MSRP 35,916 and Invoice 32,064 and PP of 32,439? Does that sound reasonable?
 
3. The paper work includes 2 charges, TDA=$405 and Whsl. Financial Reserve = $313. What are these, are they nego?
 
Thanks
