I am looking to buy a 2008 Highlander Hybrid Limited (MSRP 39,950 + $685 destination = $40,635) with Option C (MSRP $6665) and some accessories. I will give you the exact details on the list of options and accessories so that the forum members can advice me if this price quote makes sense to go forward and buy the SUV. Option C includes the following - Anti-theft alarm with engine immobilizer - CFC free rear automatic digital climate control system with integrated multi-functional display and air filter - Front CFC free dual zone automatic digital climate control system with air filter - Power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade - Rear seat DVD entertainment system with 9-inch display, rear seat audio and two wireless headphones - Voice-activated DVD navigation system with JBL AM/FM 4-disc in-dash CD changer, sattelite radio capability, MP3/WMA playback capability, hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth wireless technology and nine speakers including subwoofer in seven locations Accessories worth MSRP $1602 includes the following - carpeted floor, cargo and 3rd row mats, cargo net and first aid kit - MSRP $353 - exhaust tip, mudguards and crossbars - MSRP $403 - Emergency Assistance Kit - MSRP $70 - VIP Glass breakage sensor - MSRP $247 - Remote Engine Start - MSRP $529 This brings the total MSRP to $48902. The tax (5%) and the registration/ documentation fee $200 brings the total on road price (going by MSRP) to around $51,547. In sharp contrast the on road price (going by the invoice values) is around $45,310. See below the detailed break up of figures. The offered price after the initial negotiations is $46,000. Please advice if it is worthy enough to buy or I should shop around a bit more. Thanks much! REAR SEAT ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM $1,424.00 (INV) $1,780.00 (MSRP) NAVIGATION SYSTEM $2,211.00 (INV) $2,655.00 (MSRP) ANTI-THEFT ALARM W/IMMOBILIZER $176.00 (INV) $220.00 (MSRP) FRONT DUAL ZONE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM $300.00 (INV) $375.00 (MSRP) AUTO REAR AIR CONDITIONING $628.00 (INV) $785.00 (MSRP) PWR TILT/SLIDE MOONROOF $680.00 (INV) $850.00 (MSRP) PREFERRED ACCESSORY PKG (carpeted floor, cargo and 3rd row mats, cargo net and first aid kit) $235.00 (INV) $353.00 (MSRP) CONVENIENCE ACCESSORY PKG (exhaust tip, mudguards and crossbars) $256.00 (INV) $403.00 (MSRP) EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE KIT $55.00 (INV) $70.00 (MSRP) VIP GLASS BREAKAGE SENSOR $178.00 (INV) $247.00 (MSRP) REMOTE ENGINE START $380.00 (INV) $529.00 (MSRP)

Replying to: boston26 (Jan 27, 2008 11:20 am) In addition, the Phoenix dealership was very cooperative, removed tinting that would have been illegal in California, and added (at no charge) an extra pair of wireless headphones and the heavy duty floor mats, again, at the Costco price. The only difference between the car you want and what I have is that my car came with running boards and I did NOT want the little first aid kit (have one). I had to fly from California to pick up the car, which the dealership had trucked from New Mexico. At that time, the rear digital climate control was not available in California (don't ask me why!). It took me the greater part of several months to find a dealership that would give me a Costco price and then another couple of weeks to find the car that I wanted, exactly. And I did most of the work finding the car. I am happy with the purchase now with more than 2000 miles: averaged 29 on the way home from Arizona and average 27 in my daily driving.

Replying to: pkbrown (Jan 27, 2008 5:27 pm) Just curious... What color exterior and interior did you choose for that price? Does this include the state tax and documenattion fee as well? All forum members: I would like to hear your experience. Would like to hear from somebody in the north east, if possible. |

Replying to: apaone (Jan 28, 2008 7:38 am) I am discouraged and surprised by toyota's planning to meet the US market demand. I might wait until the pilot is out if hybrids are too hard to come by. Atleast, I will be able to compare it with the non-hybrid highlander at that point in terms of performance, style and price before I decide which one to get. Normally, Honda packages the toys (NAV, DVD etc) for a better price especially when you opt for all. Have any of forum member have had similar experience?
