The price on that Sport FWD looks pretty darn good to me with all of those options. One point about the Navigation system. I had considered it, but when I read that you can't enter any information in it once the car is moving, I decided to pass on it and eventually get a portable GPS to use. Lot cheaper way to go about it as well. But still, with the options you listed and taking the rebate, it looks like you're well past $5k below invoice.
 
I never looked at the LTD so not sure there.

Does the price $26,412 include any rebate?

Thanks for the feedback... we are actually going to the dealer tonight to spend some quality time with the Navi. The other day I was driving one and was able to enter an address via voice commands only which was nice. We are currently on the fence about the Navi because we have a price on a non-Navi for about $1000 less. It's nice having the big screen and we have the Honda Navi in our Accord which we love, but there is no lock-out on it.

I can see your point about wanting to have the large screen Navi display. Sounds like you're doing the prudent thing and spending more time with it to determine if it's worth the cost adder or not...
 
Back out the Navi on the FWD Sport you're looking at and for just those options you listed, I'd have a target price of ~$27,400 (before TTL) which is $5k below invoice...
 
So, if you're looking at ~$28,998 OTD [7% sales tax and doc fees (assume $450)] then you're probably looking at ~$6k below invoice on your base price w/options before TTL. That seems like an exceptional deal to me. Curious to see what others think, but the best I was able to do in my area was about $5k below invoice.

Those prices seem very good to me. I think if you are getting 5K under invoice you're getting a good price. I live in VA and I'm thinking of driving to NC to get the 5000K incentive. It's only 2000K in VA right now. Does anyone know how tax and tags are handled?

I was thinking of going to NC as well. But I have to fly there.
 
I'm just wondering if you guys think that Toyota may bump their rebates in other regions as well. I read previous posts saying that GA was having $3000 and then $5000 for now. Really hope they can increase their rebate for another $2000.
 
I'm in midwest. All the base 4WD cars are equipped with at least $1700 options, most of which are no use to us. We already have a minivan, so we can even go without 3rd row. But all 4WDs have 3rd row ($700 included in price). The $2000 rebate is just enough for offset these unnecessary options.
 
I'm also thinking of the Sports trim. But all the 4WDs are equipped with moonroof which we don't need (my kids hate the noise and wind from moonroof).
 
Really wish Toyota offers more flexibility on option choices.

Man, I really hope they extend the $5000 incentive to the DC area. We live in Maryland and are in the market for a Highlander limited with all the bells and whistles. I have yet to test drive, but since we are really interested in an SUV with a 3rd row and captain's chairs in the middle, the Highlander is one of the few that match (the GMC Arcadia and Saturn Outlook being the others, as far as I can tell). We've test driven the RAV4 and really liked it but found it too narrow, so I have high hopes when we test drive the Highlander.

wvgasguy-
It sounds like a good deal. I assume the $37.5k was before TTL, otherwise I would just about fall off my chair if that was all inclusive.
 
I just picked up a HH '08 for a similar discount from MSRP. So you are picking up the newest version. Could you tell me what they added as "standard" on the base '09 models versus the base '08 models? Here in California I noticed all the base models are coming with a MSRP of $39.7k on the '09s as opposed to the MSRP of $38.5k I was seeing on the '08s. Also, it is tough to read all these folks trying to find their $5000 rebates on non-hybrids.
 
I am interested to see how you like going from a Camry Hybrid to a Highlander Hybrid. I am thinking of replacing my second vehicle (non-hybrid) with a Camry Hybrid.

I have no clue why Toyota has rebate amounts that vary by region. Doesnt' seem fair, but perhaps their are legit reasons.
 
I hear you on most of the available inventory being comparably equipped to one another with what almost seems like a standard set of factory options. Seeing the same thing in NC. I would have liked to done away with the 3rd row seat as I don't need it, but couldn't find one without it. At least, I didn't have to pay for Toyoguard which seems pretty useless, let alone for $699 sticker.
 
As far as the sunroof goes, I don't think I've seen any Sport AWD's in my area without them either. A $50-$75 clip-on sunroof wind deflector can do a lot to cut down on the amount of wind and noise to the point to where having it open might be tolerable or even enjoyable to your kids. I had one on my '00 4Runner and I felt like it made a significant difference. I will be putting one on my Highlander as well.
