Just got 2wd 08 limited with heated seats, power door , jbl bluetooth stereo, tow package, spoiler, rear dvd 10 inch , rear ac, floor mats, pin striping (didn't really want that) . Negotiated deal out the door of $35,141. Had to wait 8 weeks with deposit then dealer tried to addd$ for tow and I got upset. They eventually acquiesed and apologized and gave 1 year free service. and honored price. They wanted dealer fee of 899.00. I could care less as long as tax tag dealer fee out the dor was 35141. 6% tax here so iguess they sold it for bout 32000. plus the dealer fee and tax andf new tag it came exactly to the 35141. ealer said was takin loss but they all say it. I know not much profit on this one but they moved the unit immediately. Now I want extende warr. I hear something about midwest toyota $560 for 7 yr 75000 or 100000 i'm not sure which any info would be appreciated. do not want to buy third party vendor. Want real thing which will be honored. Dealer offered about $1200 for extended. Any input?

Hi all,
Is $2700 below MSRP a good deal for a base 4x4 highlander now?
Should I wait a month later for a better deal?
thanks.

user0, I suggest working up from invoice rather than down from msrp. Aim for $500 over invoice or better. You should have no problem getting this at the end of this month and next.

You're kidding right? You can get nearly 3 grand off the best crossover SUV in its class and you're wondering if you can do better? Toyota offers the safest, most durable, highest resale values of any car manufacturer out there - why worry about price? Price is something that you pay once.....you should be more worried about cost of ownership of the particular vehicle your buying. It COSTS less to own a Toyota than any other car in America. Paying for value and peace of mind should be the most important factor in buying a car - not price.
 
I'm trying to understand why car shoppers seem to care so much about price...in buying a car, usually the second largest purchase that we will make in our lives as consumers, something we depend on for our livlihoods as far as getting us to our jobs, schools, churches, etc., something that we put our most precious cargo in daily and expect the vehicle to perform when needed, but protect us always. Let me ask you: Would you not pay a little more for this peace of mind?
 
Yeah, I sell Toyotas, and I believe wholeheartedly in my company's products and the value that they offer to our customers. And quite honestly, I don't think that you should be able to buy a Chevy, Chrysler, Nissan, or Honda for the same price as a Toyota - we offer a far superior vehicle from top to bottom. You can save a little on PRICE and buy a comparable sedan in look and feel.....but keep in mind, it will COST you three times as much to own this vehicle over a five year period than it will to own a Camry.
 
If any of you have the time or inclination please read my blog titled "pushingtin" as I am here working as an advocate for the consumer offering advice on car buying and tips on things to beware of at your local dealership.
 
I will answer your questions, give you whatever inside information that I have, and work on your behalf to ensure that your car buying experience is a positive one.

Different dealer had different "invoice" figure, so i used MSRP for comparison ease cuz they're pretty much consistent. final number came out to be about $300 under their invoice... who knows what that invoice is...
