When any manufacturer claims a vehicle is "satellite ready," they're referring to the head unit. As you correctly point out, the controls are there and the head unit will accept an antenna and receiver. They haven't done anything wrong.
 
Very few HLs I've seen come with SAT factory-installed. It is almost always a dealer-installed accessory, but $650 is very high. I paid $400 in May on my '08 HL LTD AWD. Make sure to ask for a technician who has specifically been trained on the install...you'll be glad you did as antenna placement and cable routing are much more clean.
 
Good luck.

We own a 2006 Honda Pilot that came entirely "satellite ready." We drove off the lot with satellite radio playing and had 3 free months of service.
 
Although I don't think they did anything illegal, I think saying "satellite ready" implies only a subscription is needed. But maybe I think that only because I have the experience of buying from a different manufacturer.
 
The price given was $250 to install, $399 for the equipment.

Highlander Sport Demo - Good Deal? by hk52005

Hi. I negotiated a deal on a Manager's Demo with 5,500 miles. What are your thoughts on this?
 
Highlander Sport 4WD
JBL Radio/6 disc changer/bluetooth pkg
Cold Weather pkg
Front Climate Control w/steering wheel controls
Auto rear AC for 2nd and 3rd row
Power moonroof
Tow pkg
Cargo mats
Delivery processing and handling fee
Total MSRP: $35,080
 
Total deal $30,500
We can also take a rebate of $1250 if we decide not to do the 0% financing and pay in cash. In this case we got price down to $29,000 even.
 
Is this a good price considering there are 5,500 miles on this vehicle?
 
Thanks!

Feeling like a fool........... by krb1

After I have read several posts here I feel like a fool. I have just purchased a 2008 Highlander Ltd. 4WD pre-certified with almost 25,000 miles on it for $36,967 + tax and fees. (purchase made in Connecticut)
It has leather seats in all 3 rows, JBL premium audio system with 4-CD changer & Bluetooth, power back door, heated seats, satelite radio ready, navigation, special paint, driver's seat with power adjustable lumbar support, rear view camera, dual illuminating vanity mirrors, alarm system, smart key start, keyless entry w/chrome trim on the outside, rear heat system with controls in back, sunroof.
After reading several of the posts I am realizing that I was completely taken advantage of. I specifically selected a dealership that is a BBB member and also provides AAA members with their best haggle-free price.
The only positive thing that I can add is that I will have free oil change for life, free tires, and free battery for life as long as I service the car with them.
I thought that I did my research on pricing, but I guess I still have a lot to learn. Ouch, this hurts.

First Offer on 2008 Highlander Limited by cfunn
Nov 10, 2008 (8:20 am)

Vehicle is 2008 Limited, Peral White, Ash Leather. Add ons are 6 disc JBL system, Blue tooth, Heated front seats, Power rear door, Rear Air, Window tint, XM installed, Carpet Mat set, Wheel locks. Current offer=$31809.22 + TTL $34046.36 drive out. No finacing. Taking the $2000 rebate. Question about rebate. Should I be looking for a better price and get the rebate cash, or are they always going to take the rebate from the price offered? I guess it is all the same, just looks like the dealer is giving less, by giving me the rebate I already get?

Highlander SPORT 4WD - Pricing in DC/VA/MD? by dchoosie
Nov 10, 2008 (3:05 pm)

Hello - I am looking to purchase a 2008 Highlander SPORT 4WD in the next few weeks. The options are:
Auto Rear HVAC
Cold Weather Pkg
Front Dual Zone Auto HVAC
Homelink
JBL w/BlueTooth
Sunroof
Tow package
Mud Guards
Carpet Floor/Cargo Mats
 
The dealer is offering me $30,934 +Title + Taxes + Tags + processing fee. This does not include the 2k rebate that they're offering now. The out the door price is 32,300. I looked up the invoice and it's $31300 (this includes the destination charge). In short, they're giving me roughly $400 below invoice. Good deal or not? I've seen some posts here that say I should be able to get at least $2000 below invoice. Are people actually getting that? And is that with the 2k cash rebate or not?
 
Any help you can provide would be great. With the economy the way it is, we're trying to save money where possible!!!

Does your price of $31,809.22 include the $2k rebate already?

Sorry that happend, krb1. My first inclination to run, not walk from this deal would have been the 25K on the odometer for an '08 model-year HL. Research, research, research....
 
In today's economy, it is a buyer's market. If you've got the credit score to warrant the Top Tier financing options, you can pretty much name your price. If the salesperson doesn't want to do the deal, leave and wait for the inevitable phone call in a few days from his/her sales manager, then the new car manager, then the general manager, and then the owner.
