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. |

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?

We wrote the check Fiday night for the 08 Highlander Limited Blizzaed Pearl. Loaded minus Navi, Minus DVD. OTD was $33000.00 untill I added the 7 year 70,000 mile bumper to bumper at $1400.00, so OTD was $34400. |

Replying to: talen316 (Nov 20, 2008 8:09 pm) 2008 Highlander Limited 2wd, color/magnetic gray metallic, odometer 15 miles JBL premium audio and blue tooth auto rear HVAC heated seats power back door towing prep package rear spoiler carpet mats (SE-required SET additional destination charge $45 and set admin fee $925 for SE dealerships buried into the price somewhere, somehow) GA 7% tax, title/registration Total out-the-door, drive out price = $29,300 I can't separate the price before TTL at the end because during negotiations I kept asking what the OTD final price would be, after they'd give me the sale price. And it's a blur of a memory for me. I worked with 2 internet sales mgrs then worked with only the sales mgr at the dealerships because it was less talk and more bottom line (end result) dealing. They must discern that you're the serious, ready-to-buy and get-it-done customer. Then they're willing/ready to rock n roll. Pretty much most of them were quite professional and courteous. Other comments: If color is important, you better get busy and work it. My wife's choice of that gray is now scarce. In your best interest to have your bank payment received by the dealership before you sign off and drive off. Many thanks to this forum and Edmund's as a key piece of required research in the buying process! |

Replying to: thl08 (Nov 24, 2008 8:30 am) Glad that the some of the feedback shared from my recent buying experience could be of some benefit to you... Based on the pricing info generally available to us the consumer, it def appears that you negotiated an excellent deal for yourself. With the options you listed, approx invoice cost less $5k rebate would have put you in the neighborhood of $28,100 before tax, tag and doc fees... Looks like you were closer to $6k below invoice before TTL. Congrats and enjoy!
