I got a quote at Dealer Invoice a couple of weeks ago on a Hybrid Limited, but they might be a bit lower now. Ask to see their invoice and don't let them put the extras on the vehicle (undercoating and sealant). That's where they make their $. Also, since you aren't looking at a Hybrid, then there are other incentives like cash back or 0% financing.

Hi, just to add to the discussion:
Just bought 2008 AWD Highlander:
power seat, cold weather package, daytime r. lights, roof rack, not much else
MSRP ~30.5K
Rebate here is $1500
Bought for 26K with a little haggling, but not that much.
Supposedly (and confirmed by consumer reports) that price was essentially "at invoice"

FWD Base

I am looking at some FWD Base Highlanders in the Boston area. I have been able to get a pre-TTL (and $300 doc fee) price of about $23,000ish (+/- $200). Not looking for any frills here. The ones I've looked at have the basics: convenience & cold weather packages, daytime lights, mudguards, floor mats, engine immobilizer, roof rail crossbars, etc.
Does this seem pretty good? Worth going for more? There are a lot of Highlanders on the lots it seems.
Thanks.

It seems you are more than $2000 less than the invoice. Which dealership are you working with? Does thia price come with 0% financing? I got a quote as $28900 for a sport model with $35200 msrp, and they would add $1500 if I do 0% finacing.

I got it from Boch. It does not include 0% financing. My understanding is that you must take the $1500 rebate or the 0% (36 months). So you are getting Sport model for 27200 and 0%? That seems like a pretty good deal depending on the add-ons. Where is this?

It seems we are working with the same dealership. Their exact number is $28965 for a $35383 MSRP sport without 0% apr, so adding $1500, the price would be $30465, which is not very attractive anymore.Do you think so?

It's important to know that their "Dealer Cost" does not include the destination charge of $745. So your invoice is about $31,772. Subtract the $1500 rebate and you're at $30,272. Thus, $30465 does not appear to be very competitive. My experience is that they will go at least $2000 below invoice (and probably more). Thus, you have plenty of room to still negotiate.

Thank you for the information beechboy. $2000 below their invoice plus 0% apr financing would be nice to me. So, keep negotiating.
