#1490 of 4177 Re: Dealerships in the Washington Dc area (VA - MD) [scottnrose] by gkg Apr 11, 2005 (10:54 am)
Replying to: scottnrose (Apr 08, 2005 9:09 am) Thanks for sharing the very detailed information.   One thing that I find surprising about the locales where "cheap, no-hassle" dealers are located (like Fitzmall and Dacars) is that the Edmunds TMV in those zip codes is actually higher for most cars than where I live (Ohio). I cannot prove this scientifically, but I did check for the few Highlander configurations I was interested in...regional adjustment is negative for Ohio zip codes and positive for these zip codes.   What puzzles me is that if I lived anywhere near these places, I would check there first and then compare....if that logic applies to most people, the average selling price in these places (whcih is what I understand TMV to be) should be less, not more than other locales.   Anyone else curious about this?

#1492 of 4177 Rebate versus APR by pook Apr 21, 2005 (9:18 am)
I saw that Toyota is offering an either/or with the $1250 cash back or special finance rate. My question revolves around trying to get both. My credit union has told me they will beat any finance rate I'm offered somewhere else. So ,theoretically, couldn't I see if I qualify for the special finance rate at Toyota so my credit union will beat that, then turn around and tell the dealer sorry, but I'd rather have the cash back and end up with both? Has anyone ever done, heard of or attempted this? Any help is appreciated! Replies to this message: jasjen (Apr 22, 2005 11:22 am)

Replying to: pook (Apr 21, 2005 9:18 am) I am in the process of doing just that. However, I went to my credit union first and got approved for a loan, then went to the dealership. I think it's a great idea to shop around for loans, you definately do not have to finance through Toyota--and why would you if you can get a better deal from your credit union, in addition to getting the rebate??? The only (slightly) downside to this is that your credit will be "pinged" twice, meaning it will be checked by the dealership and then by your credit union, and each time it is checked your FICO score decreases by one point -- a small sacrifice for a great APR!   Also, if you go to your credit union for the loan, you may not encounter restrictions on the term of the loan. At the dealership, to get the best APR offered (3.9%) you must finance it for either three or four years (I forget which one!) which may increase your monthly payment above what you are able to pay. At the credit union you may be able to extend the term of the loan to five years, thereby reducing your montly payment (but slightly increasing the overall cost of the car with the added interest). However, if you got a 3.9% APR, you may want to get the longest term loan you can, take the extra money you have allocated towards a car payment each month and pay off your higher-interest credit cards!!
#1494 of 4177 Cost to Add Leather by sleepergt Apr 22, 2005 (2:16 pm)
Replying to: mikefm58 (Apr 16, 2004 6:52 am) All of the Highlanders on the local dealer lots in Jacksonville, FL only have the cloth seats. I know the dealer can add leather, question is what should this cost? The leather option is stickered at about $2200, however this also includes electric seats, and a few other goodies I think. I need to know what the cost of just adding leather is. Thanks!
#1495 of 4177 Dealers in Rhode Island, SE Conn., Southern Mass by trnrz Apr 23, 2005 (8:48 am)
Was wondering about peoples buying experiences at various dealers in Rhode Island and nearby CT and MA. Looking for a 4 cyl AWD with SR, EH, and MG as a minimum, with AWCF and KM. Prices I have been getting are in the neighborhood of 26400, which seems a little high for a 4cyl compared to what others are reporting here for 6 cyl models. Thanks.
#1496 of 4177 cold weather option on 4 cyl - moonroof by trnrz Apr 23, 2005 (4:13 pm)
A dealer just told me that the cold weather package (EH) was not available on a 4 cyl, only on a 6 cyl - same dealer told me that moonroof (SR) was factory installed on 4 cyl awd, but dealer installed on 4 cyl 2wd. I already gave up on 4 cyl with side airbags - apparently toyota doesn't make them - but does anyone have experience with the moonroof or cold weather package and 4 cyl? Thanks, there is so much conflicting info out there. Replies to this message: wgrafer (Apr 25, 2005 6:14 am)
