#3741 of 4177 Re: 08 Limited Offer [fatchy] by droc Mar 01, 2009 (5:38 pm)
Replying to: fatchy (Mar 01, 2009 4:21 pm) I kind of see what you are saying. If we both got the entire 3500 incentive given to us, then yes, I am paying for the additional options exactly at invoice, because I'm guessing we both would buy the cars at 3500 below invoice. This would make purchasing a lower MSRP car a better % discount. The 33695 was their offer on first pass when the car we wanted was sold, so he said he would let us take the one that had the dvd for the same price essentially. Are dealers willing to sell the cars for a loss after passing on the entire incentive to a customer for a car that has no holdback? I'm seriously thinking of not pursuing the car given the tire problem (no decent tires in that size, let alone the cost).
#3742 of 4177 2008 recall - make sure dealer fixes before you buy by curlyman72 Mar 03, 2009 (2:27 pm)
FYI:   Recall Date: APR 18, 2008   Model Affected: 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER   Summary: TOYOTA IS RECALLING 90,189 MY 2008 HIGHLANDER AND HIGHLANDER HYBRID PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A THIRD ROW SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THE NON-DRIVER DESIGNATED SEATING POSITIONS (DSP) ON THESE VEHICLES IS EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELT ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE A FEATURE THAT CONVERTS THE RETRACTOR FROM AN EMERGENCY LOCKING RETRACTOR (ELR) TO AN AUTOMATIC LOCKING RETRACTOR (ALR). THE BELTS CONVERT TO THE ALR MODE AFTER THE WEBBING HAS BEEN FULLY WITHDRAWN FROM THE RETRACTOR. THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED SO THAT AS THE BELT IS RELEASED INTO THE RETRACTOR, THE SYSTEM REMAINS IN THE ALR MODE SO THAT A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS) CAN BE TIGHTLY SECURED.   Consequence: HOWEVER, FOR THE TWO THIRD ROW DSP'S ON THESE VEHICLES, THE ALR MODE DEACTIVATES BEFORE THE WEBBING IS FULLY RETRACTED, SO THAT IT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN CERTAIN REAR-FACING CRS'S THAT HAVE A SHORT SEAT BELT ROUTING PATH ARE INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN ALLOW THE SEAT BELT WEBBING TO SPOOL OUT DURING NORMAL DRIVING MANEUVERS, WHICH COULD AFFECT THE STABILITY OF A CHILD RESTRAINT INSTALLED AT THOSE SEATING POSITIONS. AS SUCH, THIS COULD DISCOURAGE THE USE OF A CHILD RESTRAINT AND IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CHILD MAY NOT BE ADEQUATELY PROTECTED POSSIBLY RESULTING IN INJURY.   Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEWLY DESIGNED SEAT BELT COMPONENT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 18, 2008. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.   Potential Units Affected: 90189   Notes: TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. 80D Replies to this message: sunnyrain (Mar 03, 2009 7:39 pm)

Replying to: curlyman72 (Mar 03, 2009 2:27 pm) Here's more information about the recall:   Toyota halts 2008 Highlander sales as part of recall   by Dan Roth on May 3rd 2008 at 10:33AM   Slightly more than 90,000 Toyota Highlanders are being recalled for a seatbelt problem in the third row. The recalled crossovers are all 2008 models built between May of 2007 and March of this year. The stock belts could prevent secure mounting of a rear-facing child seat in the third row, and dealers will install a redesigned part on affected Highlanders. The problem with the third row belts hasn't spawned any complaints or injuries, and owners will be notified starting in June. Still, Toyota has put the brakes on Highlander sales until current stock is retrofitted and assembly lines are resupplied with the new part.
#3744 of 4177 New '08 H/H Ltd purchase by pupvolunteer Mar 05, 2009 (9:08 am)
After a couple months of research, shopping for used vs new, we settled on a new '08 on 2/21. Shopping by internet through the fleet departments at a few southern CA dealerships was very easy. One large outfit in LA area included free delivery. MSRP is 46,524. We got white, which was to us the best of a less than stellar color palette. It has NAV, Front and rear Auto Climate Control, Moonroof, Carpet mats & Cross bars, in addition to the special color. Price paid was $39,350, plus Tax & Lic. They claim less than inv., even with $2,000 from Toyota, but who knows? Had to be close. We are happy with the car and got 26.6 mpg on a recent 330 mile trip to the mountains. We own two Prius and love them. The dogs are happy to have a roomy back seat and smooth ride.

Replying to: skanagala (Mar 08, 2009 8:53 am) Thks for your reply. I was also looking for a price between 19-20K but have not been successfull. I had been to grapevine but they did not come below 22K. Vandergriff does not have any stock they just advertise that they have a lot of inventory. I would advice people not to go there at all, its a waste of time.

#3750 of 4177 by carlupi Mar 08, 2009 (4:10 pm)
Toyota's sales in the U.S. dropped 40% last month and were down almost the same (38%) for all of 2008. You would think they would be aggressively trying to sell all their cars, including the Highlander. Yet, in the Wash. DC area (includes parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia) prices for the '09 Highlander are the same or worse than they were in October-November! What gives?
