4x4 limited need opinion by newwhip

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.

This deal is very good. I just got basically the same vehicle with special paint and the dealer installing Sirius radio for 36700, so your 36100.
 
Make sure to ask what their financing rate would be for 60 months if you took the cash back. If the difference between that and the 4.9% is less than $750 over the loan term, you're better off with the cash back. But, my guess would be you're better off with the 4.9 on that long of a term.
 
Enjoy!

I am not sure what the FEW OTHER THINGS are. I purchased a 4x4 lmtd with those options you listed and Rear Seat Entertainment factory installed not the dealer option. I also got Towing and something else that escapes me.
 
I paid $36000. Look at Carmax and see if they have one equiped the same way and show that to them.
 
Are you trading a vehicle in? If not I would squeeze them for a few hundred more. I bet they have more room.

wow, so you got the Navigation + rear seat dvd 4x4 limited for 36k? That is really a great deal. Does that already include the 1000 dollar cash rebate?

Used 2008 Sport Highlander pricing advice by ratbert613

Hi all,
 
Am looking at a used 2008 Sport Highlander 4x4 with no frills with 15,000 miles. Asking price is $22000. Unfortunately, Edmunds doesn't seem to have a TMV for this model yet. What do you all think would be a reasonable offer?
 
Thank you!

New/Used 2008 Highlander Base 2WD by santoboni

I have a 2008 Highlander base 2WD with Toyota's Option F (MSRP $29,355). Only have 4,600 miles on the vehicle and except for a few bumper dings (we live in a city) there are no issues at all with the car (still smells new). But because we live in the city I get crap MPG (13-16 MPG) and am considering getting something with better MPG. Because there are no published used prices for 08s yet, pricing has been a bit of a crap shoot. I have someone who is interested in buying, but only wants to pay $22,000, which seems low to me. She said that a dealer in the DC area quoted her $23,800 for the same vehicle, new, and with power seats (which mine does not have). Based on my shopping for the same vehicle a few months ago that price seems impossible (no other dealer would even come close to the price I paid for the car, which was more than $23,800). Am looking for feedback on both a used price and whether a dealer quote of $23,800 is realistic.

Have you tried checking websites like AutoTrader.com where you can at least see what recent used price listings are? I have a friend who was out shopping this weekend in Southern California who had 2 different dealers tell him that they would only offer 50% of MSRP for a 2008 SUV he wanted to trade in. They said there is so little interest in them now no dealer wants to get stuck holding them on their lots for months. So they are aggressive on selling price and will pay little on trade-in. That might explain the scenario your buyer presented with such a low sales price on the new Highlander near the end of the model year. If the same holds true in your area, you might be fortunate to get $22K for yours. Good luck.

$22k is a realistic resale price on a used '08. That is ~25% in first year depreciation and very typical on most vehicles. I'm sure you've heard the addage before that new vehicles typically lose 20-30% of their value as soon as you drive 'em off the lot - case holds true for you here. The used car market is extremely soft right now, so to even have a buyer is a blessing.
