Re: Purchasing with the NAV system [dj_dave] by armjamil

I own a Lexus IS350 with NAV. The NAV system on toyotas is exact same as in Lexus. The maps are upto date till early 2006. So anything constructed after that will not show up in the NAV. But I personally think this is the one of the best in the market after Acura's. The backup camera is hands down the best and works great even in low light conditions with very minimal noise (picture noise).
The Mp3 information only shows on the Nav screen when changing the track or CD otherwise you have to get to the Audio screen to get that information.
Let me know if you need any more information

I'll chime in again with the same opinion I offered last time that this looks like an excellent price to me. If you backed out the Navi I'd say you're right where you should expect to be on price, but when you include that in that $27.5k price, it looks like a REALLY good deal to me.
 
Does it have the upgraded 9 spkr JBL radio? Is this is a less popular color or have more than a few hundred miles on it?
 
I was around the same price as you before TTL for my Sport AWD with essentially the same factory options less Leather and Navi.

Thanks for the feedback. The Navigation does come with the upgraded 9 speaker system. I have to confirm the mileage but I suspect it should have a couple miles at most. I was told that I could have this price on any color except that Blizzard would be a couple hundred more.

Yeah, dumb question on my part... Should have realized the upgraded stereo was inherent to the Navi pkg. I didn't consider Navi so it didn't occur to me initially.
 
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.

2008 H L 2wd with same options minus mats and wheel locks - "what others are paying" on Edmunds' site is now $29,724. minus 5k for SE states = 24,724. add 7% GA tax = 26,455. add title/tags = under $27k out-the-door, final drive out price.
 
If this is for real, we're all paying too much!

Does this seem like a good price. This is in NC w/ the 5000 rebate. This region has a 945 advertising fee. Is this a real fee? My region doesn't have this. Thanks.

The quote I had on the Sport before was on a config that I couldn't get... talen316 is/was right, if you have a good deal, take it to get the color combo and options that you want. Once the prices got close enough between the Sport and Limited, I felt drawn to the look of the "wood" and the smart key so I had to go Limited.
