Not quite sure what you mean. The dealer invoice is $36,973, and that includes all the options I have mentioned earlier (factory option, port options).

Dealer cost is typically around $200, so I'd use that as a starting point. Most CU's charge between $300-$400 for GAP, and that would be a good ballpark range to purchase at.
 
If they come at you for $600-$700, they're trying to hit you at full retail.
 
Negoatiate for GAP, just like you would negotiate for your vehicle, now that you know the approx cost.

Well - I've been dealing with Deery Toyota here in Waterloo, Ia for the last 6 years. Bought my Tundra and my 06 HH from them - great deals, prices, and service both times. But now it seems they've farmed out to some telemarketer - two months ago I started receiving "Offers" from the dealership, showing what I'd have to pay, with my trade-in, with them basing trade-in value on what they saw at the last dealer service.
 
In the last "offer", they offered my an 08 HH for 11k plus my 06 (with 60k miles.) Seemed too good to be true, but called them up anyway - after all, a phone call is free.
 
Well - first, the dealership had NO HHs in stock. Second, the price offered was for a base model, no options, at the msrp of 33k. Fine with me - that's all the options I need; turns out though, that Toyota is not building or importing ANY HHs with that feature set. But they COULD fix me up with one for 38,5 - which of course, would bring my trade-in price due up over 16k.
 
I'm still driving my 2006; its still fine, still getting 28+ mpg; and they just sent me another offer for the same vehicle that they don't have and can't get.

I'm not sure what option "package" it was since they seem to change all of the time, but I got the following:
 
Dual Front A/C
Navigation System incl the premium JBL stereo
Rear DVD entertainment system w/wireless headphones, which also requires the Moonroof
Running Boards
Cross-bars
Mud Guards
 
Finding the combination of BOTH the Navigation and DVD was the hard part...most seemed to have the NAV but not the DVD player. I feel rather fortunate to have gotten 1K over invoice given the scarcity of the ones who matched what I wanted. Good luck.

I walked out of a dealer yesterday because we were 2K apart on my trade (another story). I'm going to re-load and see if we can still agree on a deal though. However to start, I'd like to see if folks here can confirm/deny my math:
 
2008 HL Limited AWD
  - Blizzard Pearl Paint
  - Heated Front Seats
  - Nav
  - Power Rear Hatch
  - Auto Rear Air
  - Color Keyed Sport Rear Spoiler
  - Moonroof
  - Tow Pkg
  - Sirius Radio
  - 3 row carpeted mat set
 
I maintatin that the invoice price on this vehicle, including destination, is $36,050. Multiple online sources have returned a value within $5 or $10 of this. Am I crazy?

Can you tell me the name of the dealer and sales rep you dealt with?

I highly recommend Valley-Hi Toyota in Victorville. Sam and Jess are the Costco/Internet guys...both really nice, no sales pressure guys. I would recommend that you check their inventory on the website to see if they have a match of what you want. If they do, then if you have the Costco program, you should call Costco and tell them that you want to be referred to that dealership. Times are especially tough out in the high desert so I would expect that they will be motivated to deal.
