2009 Highlander arrival update by 1headlight

Finally, I have been able to find a Toyota representative that was able to give some info about the 2009 release. This came not from a dealer but rather a Toyota Corp national rep. involved with what is termed "Toyota Experience" or more simply put a consumer liason.
 
The Highlander will be on a national release basis in November (no specific date yet), however there will be a "limited" release in regions where in demographic areas where demands are high in October (no specific date).
 
Also for those interested in the Venza, the limited release is beginning in "matter of weeks" and national release in November. Trimline pricing on the Venza should be available on Toyota.com "very soon"
 
There you have it.
 
As I have posted in the recent past, my opionion on buying/leasing a 2008, the dealers will have no choice but to become more aggressive with model year end incentives/pricing simply because inventory of the 2008 in most dealships is plentiful. Use this info to either leverage a better deal on 2008 (or wait for an '09)

May I ask you if your price is before or after taxes? What was your out the door price not including your trade. I'm trying to compare.
Thanks

I got it for $32,700 (after $1,500 rebate in FL) before tax. The tax was $1170 which includes trade-in (HL price minus Trade-In).

I am going through my teachers' credit union "Autoland" I am in Orange County, CA.
Once I get the paperwork with the final numbers I will post. apprx. what it looks like is:
sport with:
leather/heated seats package
towing package
cold weather
jbl/bluetooth package
Moonroof
crossbars
homelink
3rd row
Mats
invoice 31,0000ish...
the autoland price is invoice or 1% above invoice. No haggle at all , just walk in tell them what you want and they find the car for you and deliver it to the bank. when I pick it up the rep said it would take no more than 10 minutes for all the paperwork and they fill it up with a tank of gas. I have just been waiting to see if there will be any more incentives or cash bonuses... now that we are in the end of the month...

We should team up to get the best price. Offering a dealership two Highlander sales instead of one will give us more leverage! Our purchase window is flexible so consider the offer and send me an email if interested. (dmiricearthlink.net)

good price? by ottilie

I have been quoted a pre-tax price of 26,100 for an AWD Base with preferred accessories package.
 
Is this a good end-of-year price? If not, what would you consider a good price of end-of-year?

what was the sticker price on this vehicle? I've been offered 5.8k off on a sport about two months back without any haggling, but thought it could be better now.

Also in So Calif-- West SF Valley and near Thousand Oaks.
Considering a Highlander Hybrid.
Can you get these below invoice?
We looked a few months ago and the dealership in Thousand Oaks was not upbeat and started out above MSRP.
We left. We have lots of offers on other cars.
--
Also, does anyone know what the MF or interest rate is on a lease?
Any help would be appreciated.
Feel free to write directly to

"Considering a Highlander Hybrid.

With the dealers discussions I had "below invoice" is not remotely a realistic expectation today for a Hybrid. The two dealer I discussed this with were both in concurrence that the deal would be done at MSRP or sticker (with no incentives on Hybrids in CA). This was a 2008 base Hybrid at sticker of a little below $39k. I believe there maybe a little more negociation lattitude on the Hybrid Limiteds which sticker up to $46k. The margin of profit on the Hybrid is already very small compared to the gassers.
 
I switched focus to the 2008 Highlander (Sport) gassers and still dealers are not discounting these enough in my opinion (not including available incentives). Keep in mind, it is the end of model year for the 2008 Highlander. In about three weeks (mid October) the 2009 will start trickling onto lots in higher density demographic areas and will be widely available in Nov.
 
Yet, most large volume dealers in SoCA have plenty of 2008's. What are they going to do with all of these in three weeks or two months?????

We have a quote from a dealer for this Highlander. It has an MSRP of $49,053 and a Dealer Invoice of $44,107. They are asking us for $45,107. We live in Colorado and want both the Navigation System and DVD Entertainment system and there are some other extras that are also included. Does anyone think this is a good deal? We are ready to go for it on Monday, but we're starting to get some cold feet.
 
Thanks for your help!!!
