I dont know why it is dead but the prices here in Austin are pretty much stable. The 2007 all wheel drive highlander with 33K miles is still $17977 at Maund Toyota on 183.

Just got a new 2008 limited at invoice minus $1000 rebate (1000 under invoice).
Found 2 different dealers who were willing to do that.
So search around a bit...

DEMO car by scottgbwi

I read quite a bit about the pros & many cons of purchasing a DEMO car. One with over 10,000 miles I'm considering. Is the not knowing how the car was treated during the initial miles just too much to get over, or is it worth the chance with the warranty & all if I get a good deal on a quality highlander? Any additional opinions I would be greatful for.... Thanks

Hello,
 
I felt strongly to reply to this as I was on the same boat when I visited one of the greater boston toyota dealership and they had a fully loaded highlander hybrid with about 6K miles on it. Hopefully my perspective will help you and not confuse you. There were a couple of things that made me walk away from the deal. I eventually bought a brand new highlander hybrid limited with navigation on Feb, 2008.
 
First, they started to make the calculations with MSRP as the starting point. Ultimately, after the discounts they were offering since it was a demo, it came out to be the same as the invoice price. I bought the same car brand new for $500 over the invoice price!! So, in my case, I was not able to get the price significantly lower than the invoice price. But, things might have changed as it is already around 6 months after I bought mine.
 
Secondly, you should ask yourself if you will be REALLY happy with a used car. I wanted a brand new car when I was spending close to $45K.
 
Make sure you will be happy with your decision ultimately. That's what matters ultimately! And hopefully the above helps.

Demos are like rentals - most people drive 'em like they stole 'em. I'd always buy new.

Thanks for the info. I will check into what I kind of a deal I could get on a new vehicle. I figured I won't consider the DEMO unless it's at least 10k below MSRP. Then even I still have big concerns. Dealer is saying it was driven by one person, of course.

So Calif Highlander Sport buying advise by 1headlight

I am about to start attempting to negociate the best deal on a Highlander Sport 2wd with leather, popular plus package, and 3rd row seat.
 
Closest dealer lists this model as #6950. On their website it lists at $35,499.00 (without t/l)
 
What is the best way to leverage oneself to get the best deal. Get email quotes from other dealers then start shoping at the dealer?
 
Any and all experiences and comments are appreciated. I am in Los Angeles.

you can easily get them 1000$ under invoice without much negotiate. This is on a based model. I would assume you can get more discount (maybe 2000$ off invoice)on the limited model since they don't sell too well. This is in Texas
