Replying to: wvgasguy (Jan 28, 2009 10:39 am) I'd rather have an independent glass installer do the work than a Toyota service shop... you can always insist on an OEM replacement, even with an independent.. Call another Toyota dealer's parts department and get a straight price for the windshield. regards, kyfdx |

All - Just a heads up for those that are thinking about purchasing, but haven't yet... Currently, there are only a couple of all season tire options currently on the market for the 245/55/19 tires that both the '08/'09 Sport and LTD models come standard. Toyo and Bridgestone are the only tire mfg's and they have very limited offerings at this size and none of them are getting very good feedback from owners, mainly around tread life and poor traction in winter weather. The exception being the Bridgestone Blizzak winter tire which seems to get pretty good reviews. Aside from the limited selection and suspect tire performance, this size tire isn't cheap (pushing the $200 per range) either. FWIW, I read a post in another thread where someone had a source within Toyota that acknowledged this is a major problem (but Toyota apparently will not discuss this publically) and that Bridgestone was apparently supposed to provide more options, but has failed to do so. Bottom line, if you're still looking to buy, you may want to discuss this with the dealer and look at options to having them swap the wheels with another size that will accomodate a more widely available selection and price range of tires. I've read of some folks swapping down to 17" wheel. I also believe there are some good tire options that would be compatible in the 20" size (245/50/20). I wish I would have been aware of this before I bought my Sport back in Nov. Keeping fingers crossed that more/better options will be available with the 245/55/19 size in the not too distant future, but who knows. As always, YMMV. |

Replying to: xpedia (Jan 29, 2009 7:32 pm) Is $42,986 the MSRP? No dealer discouting on an 08? Check Fitzmall. My dealer matched and gave me $4200 off MSRP on an 09HH |

We took our first trip to a dealer to test drive a Highlander today (also drove a tasty X5 diesel!) and the dealer was trying to push an untitled gray '08 Limited demo they received last week with almost 6K miles on it. MSRP $41.5K, leather, auto rear AC, heated seats, nav, JBL Premium, satellite radio, bluetooth, moonroof, rear spoiler, towing prep They thought they were making me a great offer  $36K (including the ongoing 2008 $2K promo that ends soon.) The way I see it, KBB Retail on a 2008 in excellent condition with that many miles is around $31K, so adding in the $2K promo should mean no more than $29K. Any suggestions for a good offer?
