Replying to: carsearch2008 (Jul 27, 2008 11:15 am) I've learned a few things about Toyota: 1) ALWAYS ask if it includes floor mats. What a ridiculous option .. floor mats. One of the dealers explained that up north people want rubber mats due to the snow. 2) The $899 "set administration fee" shown on edmunds appears to be nothing but profit. At least in this economy and at this stage of the model year. I've not had a good explanation as to why the southeast has to pay this cost. Don't pay it. 3) The dealer's mfr delivery and handling and the hundreds in processing fees are nothing but profit too, don't pay them. 4) ** BEFORE you go to the dealer ask for the price "out the door" and broken down. Then you can shop this price around to other dealers before you decide. Toyota is competitive among dealers and some will beat the price if you bring in an e-mail. One of the guys from Toyota at Mall of Georgia said he'd match the price. He says "come on up, I'll sell you the same car". So I told him to break it down in writing, the out the door price. What does he come back with?? $35+ I bought from Cobb Toyota and the only other dealer that was willing to match this price was Southern Toyota. They were going to give me the same car but with sunroof for $33,450 out the door. I didn't want the sunroof so I didn't take it. Good luck! |

Thought I would post our experience from the Toyota dealer north of Houston, TX. They are part of the Gulf Coast Toyota group. I am a "Tier 1" customer they tell me, having bought 2 cars over the past 3 years via my corporate "discounted" deal. I leased this one back in Dec 2007. This is my first leasing experience with Toyota, so I thought I would pass it along. I follow these boards, and generally agree that the Highlander does not lease "well." I will be open to leasing another vehicle in the future, but not this particular one. Here are the stats for a 36 month lease: 2008 HL Limited 2WD Sandy Beach Metallic. JBL radio (no nav), running boards, pwr lift gate. Gross Cap-$34500 Adj Cap-$37000 Lease Factor-.00219 LEV- 49.16% Annual Mileage Allowance-18,000 Zero $ down They tossed in free oil changes and tire rotations for the life of the lease. I got an extension to the basic warranty to 54,000 miles for dealer cost. No problems with the vehicle to date |

Why can't I find a basic sport model in SoCal???!!! I have emailed multiple dealers and no one seems to have a basic sport model available. The lowest starting price i've been given is $33,845 with options of course. According to Edmunds the TMV on the sport(fwd, blizzard pearl) with no options is $29,015. Not including the new $1,000 rebate that came out yesterday. The lowest offer i've gotten is $30,110. I am about to pull my hair out!!! I am being offered $3,000 off but since the starting price is so high its not coming down to where i'd like it. We are considering the base model too so waiting to hear back offers on that. But I dont feel confident that they will be very competitive. Also, does anyone know if the base model has the console display or does that just come with the sport and ltd models? It seems like a a really nice feature. The base just seems so much plainer to me, but my husband would rather go with that then spend the $$ on the sport. Am I expecting too much? I've seen some of the deals on here and some are really good. |

Just wanted post price paid on 2008 Highlander Limited paid on 8/2/08. Bought in Dallas, TX at Cowboy Toyota, very nice staff, and internet sales was great. MSRP 36,030 - Paid 34785 OTD I added 7yr/100k plat zero deductible, for an addition 985 so 33,800 OTD before the warranty. They also gave me a fair price on the trade in. Not the best deal out there but not too bad. Equipped with JBL, heated seats, power rear door, rear AC, tint, carpets set. Hope this helps someone in the market. |

I am in Southern California. Asked here back in early July with no responses. Anybody know when dealers will take delivery? Nobody seems to know for sure, just seem unverified rumors. Thanks in advance. |

Hi there, I am interested in purchasing a highlander Limited edition 4x4 without Navi in Southern CA. The prices I have been quoted ranged from 34.5K to 36K. What would be considered a good price given Toyota is doing the cash rebate this month? Thanks
