Replying to: rs14 (Jun 16, 2008 9:54 pm) Waiting until the end of the month will help you drive a better bargain. And, as was stated, the pressure will continue to increase as we get closer to the end of the model year. But by waiting, you run the risk that the car that you've found and like may get sold. If financing and/or a trade-in is involved, that complicates matters because dealers may give you a deal on the car, knowing they can stick it to you on financing/trade-in or vice versa. You have to be able to roll everything together to calculate the total cost of purchase and that's something that many people can't do correctly, especially the financing part, because they don't fully understand the "time value of money" concept (e.g., $6,000 is worth way more than five years of $100/month payments but many people would erroneously insist that they're equivalent). Good luck! |

Replying to: montalvo (Jun 17, 2008 7:33 am)  The cash rebate is 1000 dollars in MA, guess it varies region by region depending how many cars they still have left? No matter what, I am really enjoying my new ride. (took a road trip to Maine last weekend and loving it). I am sure you are enjoying it as well. That is what is important, right?

Replying to: jilin74 (Jun 17, 2008 7:46 am) BTW, my wife and I are attending a wedding in Boston next month and will be spending three nights in Kennebunkport, intending to see the Maine coast. Any places, restaurants, etc. there that you particularly like and/or suggest we check out?

Replying to: jilin74 (Jun 17, 2008 10:56 am) This afternoon, I noticed that I didn't have a tonneau cover and thought, "Jeez, as loaded as this car was, I should've gotten a tonneau cover!" I called the CarsDirect guy who informed me that it was stowed under the back floor. My 2000 Lexus RX300 had no such place for storage. This really is a cool car! Happy driving! |

I'm having a bear of time working a deal on a new Highlander and would like to run my deal past you guys and see what you think. Here's the car I'm trying to get: Highlander FWD Limited Options: Power back door JBL premium stereo upgrade Heated front seats Special color Auto rear AC Options not listed on Edmunds with sticker prices: XM sat radio $449 Park Pilot, rear parking sensors $399 Mud Guards $179 Carpeted mats $275 Vehicle shield (sealant, scotch guard, etc.) $349 Dealers best price, which includes the $750 rebate is $33,987 and a selling price of 34,181 out the door. The selling price is close to the out the door price due to $750 equity for trade-in which pretty much covers those expenses. Edmunds invoice price with options, minus the options not listed on the site is $31,755 and the $750 rebate brings the price to $31.005. The dealer gave me an invoice showing the total additional options to be $1651 list and 1111.50 invoice. So the total invoice minus the $750 cash back would be 32116.50. $33,987 - $32,116 = $1871 over invoice price with the rebate included. Am I doing something wrong here? Is there something I'm not calculating right? I just can't believe I can't him to do better than this. BTW, my trade-in is a immaculate 2006 BMW-325i and edmunds list the trade-n value at $24,700 and they offered me $23,000 and said that was the best offer they could get. Anyhow, I was only looking to get the car paid off so it's just a plus in the whole equation. Is this out the door price way out of line? Please help. Thanks.

Replying to: jackdotson (Jun 18, 2008 6:05 pm) I am a little confused by your selling price and out of door prices. Also, do you still need parking sensor when you have the built-in backup camera? |
