Replying to: car4us4 (Sep 28, 2008 12:43 pm) Thank You,   I will run the numbers after the October rebates come out. If I buy what is on the car lot I will not be able to get what I want. I think they should take depreciation into account and the fact I am taking an automobile that is not exactly what I want. If they are not willing to do this I will order an 09 and get what I want. At this point the MSRP is $37,000 and the best they will do is $32,000. This is before TTL. This is not good enough when I take depreciation into account.

Anyone know what may be offered as a rebate in October? Any good guesses? Replies to this message: 1headlight (Sep 29, 2008 1:20 pm) car4us4 (Sep 29, 2008 1:33 pm) 1headlight (Sep 29, 2008 1:56 pm)

Replying to: ottilie (Sep 29, 2008 11:24 am) Hi,   You might want to indicate what city you are buying in. Toyota Motors incentives can vary from region to region sometimes.   Here in SoCalif, for the 2008 Highlander (non-hybrid) my guess it will remain $1000 cash rebate or 4.9% financing. I am hoping for more - something like $1,500.   Toyota Corporate will not announce the new incentives in each region for a least a couple days after the first of each month. I remember this from the start of September, it was not announced until the Sept 3rd. I was hoping for Toyota to sweeten the incentives then. It has been $1000 rebate for the last two months.   Come on Toyota prove me way wrong!!! Replies to this message: car4us4 (Sep 29, 2008 1:33 pm) 1headlight (Sep 29, 2008 1:56 pm)

Replying to: 1headlight (Sep 29, 2008 1:20 pm) I'm purchasing in Denver and our dealer is holding to his original deal of $1,000 over invoice on a 2009 Hybrid Limited that is very loaded. This price then comes to slightly over $45,000. I still think this is a really sweet deal. This vehicle is the exact color and has all of the exact extras we are looking for. Is anyone in agreement with my thoughts. I sure hope so. The vehicle is scheduled to arrive in the next week. Replies to this message: 1headlight (Sep 29, 2008 1:56 pm)

Replying to: car4us4 (Sep 29, 2008 1:33 pm) Hi,   As far as your deal on 2009 goes, feel I am out of school on how your numbers sound.   One thing I would explore is whether the dealer with any certainty can guarantee the delivery date on the vehicle. If they cannot or say it is an estimated time I would be weary to commit financially in anyway.   They could keep moving the date back until the vehicle can be found or arrives a month later. Just something I would ask about first. A large volume dealer here in my area SoCalif, have told it would be "a couple of weeks" before the 2009 are in transit, however they would order a 2009 any way I wanted it to be. I did'nt feel the warm and fuzzy with that.   I am still focused on a 2008. Let us know what you hear.

Replying to: car4us4 (Sep 26, 2008 2:18 pm) It should be OK, but may not be a very good deal, considering that dealers have $1,000 holdback in its invoice price, about $1,000~$2,000 incentive/bonus for hybrid if they could reach their monthly sales target, and manufacturer to customer rebate (generally customer gives it to dealer to lower the price), their real cost should be lower than what shows in their invoice price. It is true that hybrid is hot but it doesn't mean that they don't have room to lower their price for this end of year model. Ask other dealer to quote the same vehicle (send them VIN #) since it is pretty common for dealers to transfer vehicles in the same or close areas for free. Others may give you better quote, which you could use to negotiate with this dealer to lower its price. My 2 cents and good luck.

Replying to: car4us4 (Sep 26, 2008 2:18 pm) I was in the same boat back in February, 2008. Wanted navigation and DVD. But, the problem is, there are very few vehicles that comes with both - especially the DVD entertainment system. To give you an idea, New England (MA, RI, NH, VT, ME, CT) gets only 9 hyhi limiteds with that configuration in every 2 months. Dealers don't give you much price leverage on these vehicles. I compromised on the DVD and siddenly, I was able to get the car for invoice price. You should be able to get below invoice price now for sure if you made that compromise.   I know, I know, its difficult to compromise.... But that's probably the best way to get the best deal.   Good Luck!

I bought this 2002 Highlander for 11,000. It has 42k on it. Came complete with Nav and wheels. It's a 4cyl, but enough power for my needs. As you know, it's basically a Camry on Steriods.

Replying to: car4us4 (Sep 27, 2008 9:27 am) All new cars depreciate as soon as you drive it off the dealership. And as long as you are not selling the car as soon as you buy it, why worry about depreciation?
#3403 of 4171 Sept sales decline and other local incentive observations by 1headlight Oct 01, 2008 (1:53 pm)
Well, the (bad) news is out about September US Toyota sale figures were released earlier today. Sales plummeted 32.3%.   I don't know what this will mean on the ground for those looking to buy a Highlander in the coming weeks???   I noticed that one of the local So Calif. volume dealers has posted something VERY curious today. Yes they do offer a $1000 cash back. This has not changed for the last three months. Very disappointing. But even more curious is the fact the dealer totally took out any mention of financing options or incentives with the individual vehicle description which has always been there. They do have a financing tab on the homepage which mentions financing for September ONLY.   Very interesting.   Let's here from others experiences out there.
