#2575 of 3345 Price paid for 2008 HL Sport 4x4 by bigbuck4 Aug 23, 2007 (7:05 am)
We just drove our 2008 Highlander Sport 4x4 home last night and it is perfect for our family. We got the following: Magnetic Gray, black cloth interior with FE, EJ, EH, CC, QR, SR, TO, MF, DK, CT and paid $31,700, less a $2000 trade-in for a final out the door (incl. taxes, tags and destination)of $31,600. We did negotiate back and forth but all in all it was a pretty good purchase experience and we are happy. We bought it at a big Toyota dealer in Norristown PA.   I have to say that this forum as well as the "2008 Highlander" Forum was a tremendous help in doing all of the research prior to our purchase. I utilized the mulitiple dealer price quote function with Edmunds, the MSRP, Invoice and TMV pricing info. I learned about purchasing cars online and used Fitzmall.com and Darcars.com for benchmark pricing during negotiations -(these dealers BTW had very good prices, too).   I have read thru all of the test drive comments and honestly love everything about the car. I do not feel "the float" as some posters noted. I am, however, what some of you call "a soccer mom who wants the function of a minivan with the look of an SUV". I guess I am the epitome of Toyota's Highlander target market (except that I am a football mom). I love the versitility of the stow-n-go, and the fold down third row seat, which is certainly big enough for my 5'10" son. The interior of the car is very roomy. Finally I love how it looks on the outside too (the RAV 4's big brother)and the quiet, comfortable ride. We plan to keep this Highlander for a long, long time.   Thanks to all the posters for the great information!I will highly recommend Edmunds to anyone interested in a new car purchase.

I used to live in Alabama and bought my vehicle in TN since I refused to pay Southeast Toyota prices (FL, GA, AL, NC, SC). You will save at least $1500 and you will have a more "genuine" vehicle without a bunch of non-standard add-ons which are not available nationally.
#2577 of 3345 Re: Price of highlander LTD AWD with everything EXCEPT nav and rear DVD [thegman230] by mtairyordge Aug 23, 2007 (7:13 pm)
Replying to: thegman230 (Aug 17, 2007 9:05 pm) Why in the world pay an advertising fee and holdback and financial reserve. These last 2 are monies that the auto maker provides to the dealer, so why pay these. As for the advertising fee well that is the cost of doing business you can either accept to pay it or not. Or am I missing something?
#2578 of 3345 Dist fee by mzlaw Aug 23, 2007 (7:26 pm)
What non standard items are you refering to? Also I thought the FL dist fee was $699 including the roadside assit, rental car with service and 1st oil change. I still think it should be included but where are you getting the $1500 figure?

Replying to: kenbui2000 (Aug 25, 2007 5:51 am) what options did you get? I got 4WD base for $26K, see my post #2567. What area are you in? Replies to this message: kenbui2000 (Aug 25, 2007 7:44 am)
#2581 of 3345 Re: 08 Highlander [lucky_777] by kenbui2000 Aug 25, 2007 (7:44 am)
Replying to: lucky_777 (Aug 25, 2007 6:19 am) I don't remember on top of my head. It is all add up to $29780. The 2WD is selling faster than 4WD in my area (NJ/NY) NY is more expensive than OH I guess. Look like you got a great deal. How much is your MSRP? Are you happy with your car?
