I have seen posts saying sellers will sell 2000 below invoice too. Unfortunately, the dealer doesn't agree. I offered a dealership 34,500 OTD for a sport 4WD with leather, sunroof, power rear door, auto rear, climate control, navi, heated front seats, loaded with everything I'd like. THe MSRP was 39,774. They would not go any lower than 37,157 OTD. I think with 2009's out with this economy, my offer should have been taken. Am I only wishful thinking? We've been looking for a year, but I can keep waiting until the price comes down.

Sorry about your overpayment, but hey, you like the car, you can afford the car, it will be pretty much maintenance free for a while. Enjoy it!

Toyota just increased the rebate on 08 Highlanders to $5k, at least here in SE.

hello talen316,
 
I see a $3000 rebate on the 08 Highlanders here around Atlanta. What locations have the $5000 rebate please?
 
Thanks
 
Sorry, I found info on the $5000 rebate on another site.

Highlander Hybrid Pricing by scippy

I am not sure where in the heck everyone is posting their Highlander Hybrid buying experiences but I cannot seem to find too many posts. Of note, in the Los Angeles Times today a Southern California dealership advertised $4000 off MSRP on all Highlander Hybrids and Camry Hybrids. I was not particularly impressed with their customer service - mediocre to average at best - so I am not about to give them any free PR. Plus they only had 2009 Highlander Hybrids. Maybe I had not looked around enough but the base 2009's all seem to have a higher MSRP. About $1500 more than the base 2008's?!? The rear A/C (at head level) seems to be in all the 2009s. Perhaps that is why they cost more?
 
Regardless, is everyone else seeing the Highlander Hybrids coming down in price? Maybe because of the economy and lowering gas prices? Or maybe nobody thinks it is worth buying a Highlander Hybrid (as opposed to a Non-Hybrid Highlander), again, due the economy and lowering gas prices?
 
I would love to see more Hybrid cars on the road for environmental reasons. I am just curious if anyone else is finally seeing some price drops in the Highlander Hybrid market.

Will you please post the link for the $5k rebate? I looked for it in the SE region and other regions and couldn't find it.

I received pricing on a Salsa red sport 4wd with everything you listed except for the navi for $33500 OTD. If you add the navigation back in, I think your offer is fair. Have you had the dealers compete with each other?

I think Toyota just announced the $5k rebate as of 11/14 here in the SE. The dealers I've been talking to alerted me to that.
 
If you use the CarsDirect site, you'll see the $5k being applied to the pricing... at least if you use a south east zip code.
 
Edmunds TMV pricing did not show it last time I checked.

Thank you for your reply. I really haven't tried other dealers because the dealers around here do not have any SUV's that compare option wise to this one and I really like this one. I have tried another dealer with just basic options to see how low they'd go and they don't want to budge either. It seems as if the bad economy hasn't influenced their sellings yet. I'll keep waiting!
I saw several posts about 5K rebate? Is Tenn in SE? I live in KY and I don't think we are part of SE. How do I find out regions? We're planning a trip to Tenn next month. I wouldn't mind driving home in a new Highlander since KY dealerships don't want to lower their prices. This forum is so informative!
Thanks!

I believe only the following states are considered to be within Toyota's SE region:
NC, SC, GA, AL and FL
 
Carmax in Laurel, MD looks like they still have 23 Highlander Sport 4WD's in their inventory. Unfortunately, none of them appear to be transferrable to another Carmax location so you would have to be willing to make the road trip.
 
For reference: We just purchased a Blizzard Pearl Highlander Sport AWD in NC with following options: Cloth interior, JBL stereo, Sunroof, Front dual zone air, Rear auto air, Power back door, 3rd row seat, Towing prep, Homelink, Carpet mats/cargo mat, Sirius installed, body side molding, mudflaps, rear bumper protector.
 
Auto sales tax in NC is 3%.
 
$29,500 final drive off price.
