 Hi Folks I just bought a used 08 Highlander AWD (Prior Rental) Its run great and very quiet on the road. Its handle a lot like a Audi Quattro, much better than just two 2 wheel drive , in my humble opinion. I own the car for just couple days. To my surprise when I lowered the rear window, at above 40 mph, the wind noise was so loud, I thought a Helicopter is hovering behind the car. Took its to a local dealer for a test drive and mechanic told me everything (drivetrain) is quiet inside the cabin when the rear windows are up. My wife sit in the 3rd seat and she sad its sound quiet too. Please give feedback thanks

Replying to: dj_dave (Dec 14, 2008 12:56 pm) Was yours the red one? Nice car. I was first on the list as I was closest to them, then they were delivering a silver one on the other side of Richmond and then they were heading up to your house. I was very impressed with the way Jim Barkley Toyota handled everything. Their driver showed us everything the Highlander had to offer and how to use it. Answered every question my wife and I had. Very professional. I would recommend them to any potential buyer.

I'd love to get some help from all the experts on this forum, especially those who bought your Highlander from Jim Barkley out of state. I am in NJ but the price I got is far higher than Jim Barkley's. I don't mind travel to NC to save $3k. My questions are: 1) is the price you paid the same as they posted online? Any negotiation margin? 2) does the price include the SE area rebate? In other words, is the tax you paid based on the selling price+$5K but not the selling price? 3) Can you take the 0% for 60 months advantage if you are not living in SE region? 4) Did you work out all the necessary paperwork before you came down the dealer or after you arrive? 5) Can they hold the car for you for few days? Thanks.

Replying to: flyingtiger98 (Dec 15, 2008 8:59 am) 1) From all accounts on this forum, JB's advertised web price is what they will sell the car for + TTL. They apparently do not charge dealer fees which saves anywhere from $399 to $699 compared to some of the other dealers here in NC. I don't recall others mentioning any additional negotiating room off the advertised web price, but can't hurt to try. 2) The web price does include the $5k SE rebate. However, the sales tax is calculated off of the price before the $5k rebate is applied. 3) Not sure about the financing question. However, I'd be surprised if it didn't cost you less over the life of the loan to take the rebate. Edmunds has a good Low APR vs. Rebate calculator so you can crunch the numbers to see which makes more sense. |
