Just put a bid on a limited highlander 2008 limited with 25,000 miles. It had been a rental. Dealership asking 30,999, gave a bid of 26,000. They countered with 28,2000. Any suggestions at this point what would be my next move. It does have a lot of miles for a 1 year old car.

Just sit tight. Dealers are hurting bad. Don't go up in price. Instead concentrate on finding another similar car... it will help you stay focused and not call this dealer. They will accept your initial offer. I would be surprised if they don't in this market.

Thanks, I needed that advice today. I really do hate playing this game. Had the one dealer I was working with ( He called me first) , and they did the switch and bait. Another dealer called and said he could help me as the dealer I had been working with was busy. And all of this back and forth. So, your comment was very encouraging! .

I forgot to mention the dealer who called me to do all of the negotiation,( this was all done on the phone )as I had driven and seen the vehicle the night before.He said that he would give this vehicle to me for 27,200 minus the certification. I said no, I will buy it at that price and it needs to be under certification. I am already pre-approved to buy from my bank. All I need to do is write the check. Should I have accepted their offer, and not be concerned about the car being certified.?

2008 Highlander sport - black leather loaded price by curlyman72

I got a quote today for a 2008 highlander sport 4wd with leather, dvd navigation and rear dvd entertainment package. Basically a loaded sport.
 
The dealer asking is basically the dealer invoice price of $35,869.
 
Dealer seemed open to further discounts but how low should I go?
 
What's a fair ammount to be asking if they are already at invoice? would it be advisable to ask for 36 out the door (as in no tax)?
 
Thanks for any help! I could be making a decision today or tomorrow.

Anyone have any tips for how to take advantage of the $5,000 rebate currently offered in the Southeast Region?
 
I live in No VA, and would be willing to travel to NC if I can get an 08 Sport for invoice less 5k.

On the 08 with 25,000 miles, look up the kbb private party price. Anything you pay over that is probably too much. I'd hate to buy a 08 with that many miles but especially if it was a rental with a hundred different drivers who drove it knowing they were not going to own it.
 
The other person wanting an 08 at invoice? There are deals out there on 09's already. Your 08 won't be a bargan unless you get soe serious discounting.

You could just do a dealer search for dealerships that would be the shortest drive from your location. Go to their websites to get the contact info for their internet sales manager, see what inventory they have on the lot or what they can locate and cost effectively transfer in, etc. Send an email to their internet mgr and tell him/her what you're looking for and your price. If you're in VA, you may want to target the Raleigh area. There are a few dealers in the Charlotte, NC area that I could recommend to you, but that will prob be ~ 6hr ride...

I'd see if they can write up the Bill of Sale and have them fax it to you in advance.

Highlander Deals by richmonder

I am in Richmond, VA and need a Highlander. I want limited but may get a Sport I like the "wood" look of the limited but like the camera on the Sport. I think the Nav is a rip off. I had a pretty decent price in Richmond but then the $5000 rebate for the SE came out. Has anyone gotten any good deals in NC? I read before that jimbarkleytoyota in Asheville has no hassle prices that are pretty decent but that's 6 hours away.
 
Has anyone heard of Toyota meeting the marketing support for a sale in another area if the manufacturer is pushed?
