FWD Base by beechboy

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.

Price paid on gently used 2008 HL Sport by mherr05

We just bought a certified used 08 Blizz Pearl FWD HL Sport with 12,000 miles on for $27,000 even. All we had to pay was tax which was around $2k. Car was already registered and in CA the registration stays with car so dont have to pay it until next year. Car was a dealer rental and in great condition. Came with sun roof, roof rack, jbl sound package w/ bluetooth, XM prewire, all floor mats, rear ac. I think this was a good deal seeing that KBB says it should retail for more like $29k. Tell me what you think?
 
Now if I could just figure out what is needed to get the XM working(besides a subscription). There seems to be some confusion on this and I cant find the answer. Do I need to purchase a receiver or is it already in the car since the JBL package says pre-wired w/ antenna. ????

It seems sport model does not come with bluetooth in New England area. I have checked a few dealers, and I did not find any one with that.
I do not know if your price is fair, but a AWD 08 sport is selling as less than $31,000.

Sorry, I have corrected my typo. A dealer quotes me as $30.5k, which is only about $1200 below their invoice price. It seems we can get it as low as 29.5k with 0% financing, but I have not got that luck yet.
