Hello All,
 
New to this forum but so far it's been very helpful. About to get into my first lease and I got an offer today that I'd like to run by people:
 
This for a black 4x2 base with the following options: Cold Weather, Convenience package, engine immobilizer, running lights, no 3rd row, preferred accessories (all weather), convenience accessories package (exhaust tip, mud flaps, cross bars)
 
here is the quote:
  
MSRP $28,446.00
Selling price $26,000.00
Assignment fee +550.00
Selling price $26,550.00
Inception fees(includes 1st pymt) $821.06
Monthly pymt $355.06
Money factor 0.000670
Residual value $15,388.00
Gap Insurance(estimate) $500.00
Disposal fee 0.00
  
821.06 gets me in car and 355.06/mo for 36 mos. 12k mls/yr
 
I believe invoice for this model w/ options is 24736 + 685 delivery.
 
What do people think? How much better should I be able to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

what is the invoice price for a Highlander Lmtd by jilin74

highlander limited 4x4 with the following options:
 
option A:
50 state emission
rear auto air
jbl audio + bluetooth
spoiler
heated seats
powered rear door
sunroof
towing package
 
And accessaries:
- mudguard
-exhaust tip
-carpet/cargo mat
-crossbar
 
On edmunds, I found that Highlander limited with option A has invoice price of 33885 ( but the msrp shown seems to be 200 dollars higher than some other website). I am not sure where I can find invoice price for the accesaries.
 
Given this, what should I start to bid and what should my target price be? In MA.
 
Thanks,

Buying Experience by mdhutton

Sensational buying experience at Brian Bemis Toyota in DeKalb, IL !
 
Negotiated price through 2 e-mails, no pressure and very fair. Set an appointment for test drive and had the vehicle waiting for me when I arrived. Appraised my trade while I was testing, and were again very fair. Compared lease vs finance options, made my decision, and had paperwork ready 20 minutes after that. Done!
 
For those in the Chicago area, take the extra 30-45 minutes and travel west. You'll be happy you did.

Does this sound right? by jilin74
Jun 04, 2008 (9:27 am)

I went to Boch today yesterday to test drive a highlander. Prior to going, I got a quote from their internet department. The quote is good so I went in.
 
But when I got there, the salesman first told me that he could not find the car in stock. And after he checked the inventory list, he said that the car just came in for and has not been checked for safty. So I could not test drive it that day. I don't know whether dealers do the safty check or not after the new cars come in. But I was kind of suspicous.
 
So I made another appoint to come in today. Before I go, I called the guy to ask whether everything was ready. He told me it was and so I told him I will be there at 2. He called me a few minutes later and told me that the car has a flat tire and a new tire needed to be ordered and put on. So it is better for me to come in tomorrow.
 
Is it all normal? I have growing suspicions about this. Could this car be damaged in some way? Is it safe to buy this one or to buy another one? Any advice is appreciated.

Flat tire story does look suspicious since all HLs come with full size spare. They could have swapped flat tire with spare and have car ready for a test drive.

Hi lucky, thank you for reply. The salesman told me that it should be ready tomorrow morning so I would be able to take it home with me. (it is like 30 miles drive one way).
 
Sounds like though that I could get one in silver with the same setup for the same price. Wondering whether I should go for the silver instead of blue.
