Basic 4 cyl ,2005 HL, 7500mi by dan bitman

Salesman won't go lower then $17000, no matter what
It's a manager special ,dealer located in Farmington, Mi.
But...it's Beige color...my wife's favorite
I'm almost ready to buy it...for her.
 
Car is in excellent conditon, can't find a reason to ask for a lower price. Also, brand new is 7K more...
Need some advice - pros and cons are welcomed.
If is too low- why is that? ( considering the high resale value of Toyota's)
If it's too high- what's the right price??
Thanks,
Dan

It's low because most people want 6 cyl with AWD. The 4 cyl versions don't sell as well but most owners that have them, myself included, think there's enough power. Gas mileage will meet EPA highway if you drive at speed limits or slightly over. In my area(Boston) 4 cyl basic FWD Highlanders will be advertised for 17k-19k, depending on the week.

No tax credit for me by kenrosen

wouldn't you know it our government got this one wrong. I have been considering a HH. I also use the vehicle for business. I thought I would get a $2,600 tax credit for purchasing the vehicle. Well the credit does not reduce my alternative minimum tax so for me the credit is worthless. Well I might just get the 4 Runner V-8 as it qualifies for the 25k expensing deduction and full depreciation because it's rated over 6,000 lbs. This will save me about $10,000 in taxes. Both cars sell for about the same. I wish the gov't would get their priorities straight.

Thanks,
Indeed, for my wife , my baby and myself, power is not an issue as gas mileage ,reliability, and comfort are.
I will consider your advice that 17K is a low ( good)price.
Thing is that 17K is my "allocated" budget. Not a penny more
 In Mi, we pay 6% sales tax. Adding the T&L fees, REAL OTD price goes way over 18k.
Final shippings of 2006 CRV's are "discounted" at this price, though... with standard CURTAIN/SIDE airbags.
I'll see. Thanks again!
Dan

A large national news magazine is looking new Toyota owners that switched out from a Ford vehicle with their new purchase. Please send an e-mail to ctalatiedmunds.com no later than Wednesday, August 23, 2006 by 2:30 PM PT/5:30 PM ET containing your daytime contact information, what Toyota car you purchased and what Ford car you left behind.

Yes, Toyota is lousy for some safety equipment. Most Highlanders can't be purchased with side airbags unless it's the expensive versions. My sister has a 2005 CRV which I had a chance to drive and it is also nice. Only thing I didn't like was auto tranny upshift to 2nd gear is based on rpm, not acceleration rate, something I also noticed in someone's old Accord.

Price for 2006 HL 4-cyl base model by tony42

It seems everyone here is talking about the price for high end model. Could anyone give me some comments on the price for 2006 4-cyl base model? I got a quote from a dealer in Atlanta for $20900+TTL after rebate. Is that a good price? Or I need to negotiate a little more?
 
Thanks a lot.

Recent Lease Details by brentp

Just finished negotiating a new lease through Boch Toyota in Norwood, MA based on the 36 month, $199/month, and $1999 due at signing ads being run on TV. Of course, that ad applies to the base 4-cyl, FWD model (#6910) with PG, MG, & FE according to Toyota’s website.
 
For a model #6920 (4-cyl, AWD) with PG, MG, FE, SR, AW, & CF, . . .
 
Miles: 12,000/year
Term: 36 months
 
MSRP: $28,544. (including destination)
Base Cap Cost: $24,625. (price paid)
 
Cap Cost Reduction: $0.00
Residual: $15,774 (55.3%)
Money Factor: 0.00001 (or 0.024%)
 
Monthly Payment: $246.27
 
Due at singing: $944. (not including Title/Registration)
    Acquisition Fee: $400.
    1st Month Payment:$246.27
    Dealer Docs: $298.
 
Title/Registration will be my responsibility, but the car will cross state lines and I will need to take care of this at the local town clerk’s office when the dealer shows up with the car on delivery. No sales tax in our state.
 
Base Capital Cost represents $631 under Edmunds invoice ($1000 under 'dealer invoice’ with advertising fees, etc.).
 
This is a subsidized lease from Toyota Financial Services, . . . basically a 0% financing program (the total finance charges over the lease term was $14.54). Rebates did not apply to this lease program.
 
I still believe the residual is $100 low compared to other dealer quotes I got, . . . but overall, this represented the lowest total cost package I could get ($9563.48 total cost without title/registration). I will still follow up with the dealer prior to signing on the residual, . . . I spent a lot of time getting to these numbers and didn’t really feel like arguing any longer over the last $100.
 
Thought I'd pass this along for others, . . . and comments are welcome. Haven't signed papers yet, . . . but deposit is down to hold the car.

I quite agree. $100, over the lift of the car, is nothing, and in any deal, both sides need to "win" something.

Prices posted here for a stripped base HL almost never go below $22K (before TTL); the posters typically don't mention if there's a rebate involved. So in any case your's is an excellent deal!
