I just bought an 08 base highlander 4WD with a few extras on it. I paid 31,118 OTD. I have the 6 cd changer, convenience package, tow prep package, Manual rear A/C system, daytime running light package and the 3rd row seat. I went through my credit union and the MVCP program and I paid $100 over the dealers invoice. No haggling, no stressing. The total MSRP on the vehicle was 31,094. Oh I also got the extended warranty (which cost 995). So w/o that I would have only paid 30123. Which I believe was the exact price on edmunds.com. I went to Russel Toyota in Catonsville, MD. The sales guy was terrific. Though when I returned the following day to turn in my check from the CU and my title of my trade in, the finance guy was a total jerk! But I didn't have to deal with him long. I did all my "buying" online via email and it only took me a couple of hours at the dealership to test drive and complete the paperwork. I believe I arrived at 10am and was out the door by 2pm. I totally recommend going through your credit union and see if they have a buying assistance program. I've bought all my cars that way (except for my Saturn because they don't participate) and never had any regrets. Hopefully I will have a very happy relationship with my new vehicle tho. I don't intend to spend that much money for a very long time!!

Instead of reasing the price to include the crossbars they threw them in at no charge. Granted it's only $ 150 but I was only paying $ 1000 over invoice. If they had raised the price $ 150 I probably would have still bought. But if a dealer raised their quoted price by $3K I would be very upset and would take my business elsewhere. There are many Toyota dealers around and the HL's are just getting more plentiful. He's not playing nice - don't reward that behavior. It only hurts us consumers in the long run. |

The DVD is pretty nice, it has a 10" screen as opposed to the standard 9", it has 2 wireless headsets, the FM modulator which allows it to be played through the radio, an audio and video connection (camcorder, etc.) a game port for your play station, X Box or whatever, and some built in games with a controller. All together a better system and you will save some money. If that works, just call me with a $200 credit card deposit and I will put you name on it. I also had gave him my credit card for a deposit to lock it in. This was for a limited highlander. The DVD was an aftermarket one. Scott

Looking for a 3 year lease on a 08 Limited. MSRP is looking around $39,800. I am trying to determine the lease price and would like to know what I should be using for a money factor and residual value percentage? Excellent credit, so I was thinking money factor should be about 0.00259. Is a residual of 58% too high? How much over invoice are people negotiating Limited to now? $500 - $1000? Located in Massachusetts. Thanks.

I have a 2003 V6 AWD LTD Highlander with 112,000 miles its in immaculate condition Has tow hitch, new michelin tires, new heated windshield. Kelly Blue Book says "good" trade in is around $14,000 to $15,000 Went to a dealer today to trade it in on a 2008 Highlander and the dealer offered me $8,000 trade in. I told them they were smoking. AmI being unrealistic, or od KKB trade in value way over? thanks
