I'm planning to buy a Base AWD or a Sport AWD in the next few weeks. We also own an 06 Sienna, which we have 3.2 years remaining to pay it off at 6%. I am trying to decide if I should put $ 0 down on the Highlander at 4.9% financing and apply what would have been the down payment to the Sienna's balance. It seems to make sense given the higher interest rate on the Sienna, but the HIGH payment on the Highlander is freaking me out. Any opinions???  I wish I could call Suze Orman!

Replying to: mjbuffalo (Mar 19, 2008 2:13 pm) That's assuming that you make the payment against your current loan, and the bank credits it correctly.. Not worth it... Put as big a down-payment as you can on the new car.. Skip Starbucks twice a month and you'll come out farther ahead (there is your Suze Orman advice)..

Shopping for Highlander Limited AWD w/NAVI, DVD, JBL, power rear door, Moonrf, Rear Auto HVAC etc. in Chicago. Negotiating with a dealer & want to check the offer I am getting. I did a lot of research on all the hidden "dealer costs" which really just jack up the invoice price so joe blow thinks deal is better than it really is e.g. advertising fees (a.k.a. TDA for Toyota), dealer holdback (I had read 2-3%?), wholesale financial reserve (passing on costs of dealer borrowing?).....these last three things really add up, effectively raising the invoice price by this big chunk (in this case approx $1500). Sticker price is approx $42,200 INCL destination and dealer negotiated to $38,000 on an invoice cost of $37,500, including all the hidden "costs" above. Anyone seeing better deals out there?

We expect to buy a HiHy Ltd with Opt Pkg A this weekend in the Puget Sound Region. We've only talked to one dealer so far. Through the costco auto program, the dealer offered the vehicle for $2k over invoice, which worked out to $41,800 before T&T. The edmunds TMV report suggests that is $500 over what people are paying on average. I wonder what other people's experience have been recently. I'm thinking of asking for $500 over invoice, but might be more aggressive if it makes sense.
