Montalvo, that is interesting. So the cash rebate is only $750 in CA. I thought the $750 was a coupon from carsdirect.com, and wanted to ask you how I can get one of those for our next car.
 
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?

Yep, sure seems like a great car and I'm immersed in trying to get my arms around all of the features and gadgets. CA has a new law banning hand-held cell phone use that starts soon so I'm trying to get all my phone numbers listed via Bluetooth.
 
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?

Can't say that we are that familiar with Maine. We drove to Portland, Maine. It is a nice, charming little town, very European looking, with many red-brick buildings. We had lobster at the water-front, a place called DeMillo's. It was nice, a little touristy, but nice. Many other restaurants serve lobsters on paper plates, which just does not give you the right feeling if you want a romantic dinner.
 
Portland also has a very nice trail along the waterfront. Make a pretty good walk on a sunny summer day.
 
But we have never been to Kennebunkport. So cannot give you much info on that place. Sorry.

Well, thanks for the info on Portland just the same, since I think we'll be driving up there.
 
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!

That sounds like great deal. I assume you have leather since you only mentioned heated seats. Friend of mine got a Limited AWD with everything you have plus Nav. and rear DVD player for almost $38K last fall from Weymouth Toyota.

Thanks.
 
The limited trim all comes in leather.
 
I also emailed Weymouth Toyota and their quote was about 800 dollars higher than Boch's.

Help price my a Highlander by jackdotson

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.

Are you sure that there is no moonroof and rear spoiler? Those usually come with the package such as power back door , jbl audio, etc. That will increase the invoice price.
 
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?

I am looking at an 08 limited 4x4 with nav, sunroof, bluetooth and heated seats. and a few other little things
I'm in PA.
mspr $40,264
they offer it to me at $36,100
 
I can't get the $750 cash back because I want the 4.9% for 60 months.
 
Does this seem reasonable or is it still high?

Hi Ocautoseeker,
 
In one of your earlier thread, you had mentioned about knowing a fleet manager in bay area. I live in bay area so wondering if you can give me his/her contact information. I'm looking for 2008 limited FWD highlanders with DVD/Nav option.
 
thanks.
