I've read through the previous messages. We can only determine the MSRP "Discount" when there isn't a trade involved. When a trade-in is involved, the deal can easily shift from customer advantage to disadvantage. Therefore, in keeping an eye on the ball - the difference - what does it cost? Just purchased a silver Highlander 4x4 V6 with a list price of $29,249 (AR, AL, DE, GA, IQ, AZ, CA, GN, SK). My "DISCOUNT" was $1,950 based upon: Highlander MSRP less trade-in allowance for my vehicle (which was $1,950 more than TMV) to get the DIFFERENCE. I derived my '99 Ford Explorer XLT trade-in from using Edmunds TMV and by shopping two Ford dealerships (on a 2002 Explorer) and two Toyota dealerships (on the Highlander). Three of the dealers were within $200 of each other (which was close to Edmunds TMV). Purchased my Highlander at the dealership that took my vehicle and $1,950 less than the others. I also financed it at 6.9% for 60-months (which is up to a $1,065 discount within itself since they originally tried to contract at 8.5% then 7.9% then 7.29%). My credit union offered 6.49%, but the payments worked out to 6.75%. The dealership was working with me, so they got the business. Bottom line: The vehicle is excellent! If your happy with your deal, you got a good one. Be happy! If you're currently shopping, be ready... |

I started out with Autobytel, and was offered 1,000 below MSRP by dealer in Dubuque,IA. Later tried Carsmart, and offered 1,500 below MSRP by dealer in Milwaukee. Called local dealer in Madison, WI and he easily beat the above. Final deal for V6AWD with: BE,EJ,FE,HD,LA,LL,SR,TO,VD,CF: MSRP $34,765. Discount 3,654. Paid $31,111. (Plus tax) Pretty good deal, I'd say. I'm still dealing with getting a hitch and correct plug in adapter, but should be able to solve the problem. Also, will add Console later. |

| See #28 above. Forgot invoice, which is $30,294. So I'm $817 over invoice. | |
| Just bought my new Highlander. Used the COSTCO purchase program and walked right in and told them the car I wanted ($33,335) sticker and they came back with my price of $30,752. Much better than the $1000 off at the dealer I went to the night before. Got V6 4WD with FE, SR, BE, TO, VD, LL, EJ, GN, and CF. Thanks to everyone for all of the posts. They helped out a great deal. | |

| Recently traded in '94 Explorer towards a 6cy 2wd Highlander - white. Paid $1K over invoice or approx. $2,300 under MSRP. This site really helped me in getting my deal. Although it's not the "Limited", it's fully loaded. I found my Toyota dealer great to work with! | |

| In January, I purchased a V6, 4WD Limited, with every option except heated seats for $31,700. I even got a Vintage Gold one with the Ivory Leather seats. It was listed at $34,584. I feel I got a good deal because they were brand new and unheard of yet. I recommend a Highlander to everyone who's thinking about buying one. If you buy from Freeman Toyota, buy it from Mariana Figueredo. She is the Fleet Manager, and she can give you this price. | |
