I specifically did not want the NAV in my HH. I had it in the TCH and fell in love with the Energy Screens but found the NAV part to be complicated to use and out of date. It did have some features that the smaller Garmin's do not have and the large screen was nice (and no wires hanging around). If you are familiar with the smaller garmins, then I would recommend you to sit down in a Toyota and play with their system before deciding if it's worth $1000 to you. I found several errors in the maping in the areas I drove with the Toyota system. As for the Hybrid owners, it's a lot of information, especially if you're really into "hyper miling" (do you HH people do that?) However I'm probably going to discover that hypermiling to get 28 mpg instead of 26 mpg is not near as much fun as I had in the TCH when I could go the interstate and get 37 mpg or go the back roads to the same destination and get 57 mpg. It was always a challenge and kept me amused for a couple of year. Made me miss the sound of the awesome Infiniti FX45 that I traded on it a lot less than I thought it would.

Replying to: mj_superman (Nov 20, 2008 11:47 am) Blizzard Pearl is supposed to have about a sticker premium of $200. Assume that the $5k rebate basically compensates the consumer for depreciation associated with purchasing a model year end Highlander (even though the 09 model doesn't seem to have any appreciable differences... part of what makes the deals on the '08 especially attractive IMO). On that assumption, the $5k rebate would equate to purchasing the vehicle at "invoice" adjusted for depreciation. The price you're getting quoted appears to factor in the $5k rebate + perhaps another $1500 give or take. So think of it as getting $6k - $6500 below the adjusted invoice or $1k to $1500 below invoice if you were buying an '09. FWIW, I was unable to find any dealer in my area that was willing to go $5k below the original invoice on the 08. So, to me, I felt like I was getting the vehicle at invoice which is usually considered pretty decent for a popular make/model. I'd be surprised if you'll find much better and I don't know what area you're in, but some of the '08's may start to get picked over depending on the trim and option pkgs you're looking for so if you're ready to buy, for the sake of sounding redundant, I think you have a great deal on the table. |
