Price Is Right...4WD Sport...Over $6150 below MSRP by 4wheelinit

I'm in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area and after EXTENSIVELY EXTENSIVELY shopping online via email (admittedly with a fake phone number, so the vultures couldn't reach me on the phone), I ended up buying a car in Maryland, (near DC) at a price that more than 5 Philadelphia area dealers couldn't or wouldn't match (only James Toyota matched my best prices but didn't have my color combination).
 
Anyway, the only two dealers I visited were the only two that published their bottom line price online, and it was a price they stuck to and beat pretty much everyone else.... CarMax/Laurel Toyota and Fitzmall (Lakeforest Toyota). Look at both of their websites. I got a car that MSRP'd for 37,804 for 31,551--more than $2000 under dealer invoice (though I ended up paying 32801, plus a $99 processing fee--the deal was so good I didn't even bother trying to haggle this one away--to take the 0% over 36 months). I was able to put nothing down on this car.
 
The car I bought was identical to 5361901 on CarMax's website except mine had mudguards and based on timing of delivery to the dealer a $745 Destination Charge vs. the $680 on the CarMax vehicle.
 
If you're within a few hours of the DC area look at both of their website and visit both places...while neither of them play games with bait and switch on their price if you have a trade in, one will keep the other honest). I ended up buying at Fitz Mall, though that was only because they were my second stop. If anything I'd fault CarMax for NOT playing enough on my trade in, that probably cost them the sale as I was more comfortable with their operation overall.
 
Feel free to post any other questions you might have and good luck with the purchase process.

I'm looking at a sport with navi, power rear door, auto dual zone climate front and auto rear, sunroof, leather. The MSRP is 39774. Now that the 09's are out, what offer should I make? Anybody with similar options care to share with me. . . We've been holding out for good deals. Thanks for your help.

FWD 2008 Highlander by beechboy

Just purchased a Base FWD 2008 Highlander for about $23,150 + 5% Mass. tax + doc fee. This includes the $1500 rebate available in New England. Seems like a pretty good deal. Only had the basic options that most all bases have. MSRP was around $28,500.
 
If you don't need third row seats or AWD, both of which are signficantly overrated, a FWD Highlander can be had for some great prices.

I'm in Wisconsin. I think the 2000 rebate covered the "chicago land area" which included Wisconsin I guess.
 
MSRP was $40,XXX

For what it's worth the majority of the dealers I worked with had the same limited models that were down to the low 34,XXX range in the Wisconsin, Chicago area that included the $2000 rebate.

Thank you. The MSRP on the one I'm looking at is 39, 774 and their asking 35,5 without taxes, titles, etc. I'm trying to decide what I should offer. I think I should be able to get less than 35k OTD. Your MSRP is very close even though you have a limited. Thank you for your reply.

I too am looking to buy in Baton Rouge. Did you buy yet and if so what kind of deal did you get?

I gave up on the Highlander. I tried for two weeks to get a lower price. The best that I could get was invoice- rebates. (Sport $29,500 before TTL, Limited $31,500 before TTL) So I bought a Lincoln MKX for $8,000 of MSRP. I got a low interest rate a great price on my trade-in.
