I am trying to get a price together for my mother to buy a highlander base.
 
I need the invoice pricing for these two options, which i don't currently see on Edmunds. Here's the MSRP:
Carpet/Cargo Mat - 3 Row Seating ........... 275.00
Mudguards .................................. 99.00
 
What should she pay for these items? Thanks,
 
Elliott

I am new to this forum, and just stumbled into your question. I also want to buy a 09 highander sport 4x4 with leather seat and package #5. I have an offer for OTD $35571 including $1000 rebate. Price includes: leather seats(2row), power rear door, package #5,slide moonroof, tow prep package,cross bars,floor mats.
Is this a good price or I can possibly go lower?
Just wondering if you bought yours and what is the best price you reached?
I live in Ohio

I guess that would be little expensive. In fact i was looking for similar one. 31k to 32K would be good price - i am thinking..

I did access the site as well as others for internet pricing on a Highlander Limited for a friend of mine that has no internet access...and I am sorry to inform that all the calls I got on his request were from dealers that wanted him to visit the dealership...so far NOT ONE has discussed availabity of the Limited or price...so I am confused as to how people in this forum even get to discuss vehicles with dealers via the internet ...even when I made believe that I was him (I know exactly what he wants..)..they all insisted in visiting the dealership...maybe in NJ things are different...
I also believe that maybe no one had the color or request that we put in...but like I said the whole purpose of this was to avoid visiting several dealers and waste his time or the sales people's time...
enlighten me,,,please!

Most dealerships have one or two salespeople dedicated to internet sales. If they don't, they're missing an important marketing tool. Given that it is such a buyer's market right now, I'm surprised to hear you're not having much luck.
 
It's like anything else in a vehicle transaction - if you're not happy with the service / response / flexibility from one dealer, RUN (don't walk) to the next one.
 
Not to rub salt in a wound, but when I bought my '08 HL LTD AWD last year, everything except my trade-in appraisal was done via e-mail ahead of time, and was as we negotiated it when I got there...no surprises. This was at Brian Bemis Toyota in DeKalb, IL.

I understand what you say, which is exactly as most people on this forum expressed their transaction. I think that NJ is different (NY mtro area)..was your Highlander in stock or the dealer did a locate?...did you have 2 colors in mind or only one?...what about options?...anbd one final question...how did you dessiminate your desired Highlander through the internet?...what sites did you use?..
Thanks and good luck with the Highlander...how do you like it?...

I live in the NY metro area also, and have two Toyota dealers within 10 miles of my home. Visited both and neither had the color I wanted(Magnetic Gray) in their stock, but easily located one for me. They pointed out that Newark N.J. is the port of entry for Toyota on the east coast, so big stock of vehicles close by. That's where mine came and got to the dealer in 2 1/2 days. Good luck.

I'll preface by saying I bought mine a little over a year ago when suppy, credit and the general state of affairs was not as it is now, but to answer your questions:
 
I visited the dealer's own website and the exact vehicle I wanted was in stock....options, color, everything. I couldn't have factory-ordered it any closer to what I wanted, so that was a bit of luck. This dealer had a "click here to make an offer" button for each vehicle on the lot, so I went that route. I was then contacted via e-mail from the internet sales manager, and after about 30 minutes and some minor back-and-forth, and we had arrived at a price.
 
Two days later, when I arrived at the dealer, the sales manager was waiting for me with the vehicle pulled from inventory and ready for me to test drive. My wife and I were sent out alone (no salesman) and they appraised my trade while we were gone.
 
After the test drive, we haggled (although I wouldn't really call it that) over my trade allowance for about 5 minutes, and then were at a number we could both live with. He then honored without delay the price for the new car we had agreed upon earlier in the week, and that was about it. Saw the finance guy to do the paperwork, and we were off.
 
This is the best vehicle I've owned bar none. My only issues so far are the lack of availability of memory seats (although I knew that when I bought it), and the two extremely poor tire choices in the 19-inch size in winter weather. I live in the Chicago area, so this is a big deal to me. I'll probably upsize to 255/55R19 when I replace them.

Replacing my wrecked Highlander. by druid21

My 2003 V6 4WD was totaled and all I want to do is replace it, upgrading just a little, possibly to 2004 or 2005 so I can get the 3rd row seat. Woodgrain and leather would be nice. Any idea what I should pay? What's the best way to buy a used car? I haven't done this before. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply...it makes perfect sense and it is a s I suspected all alomg...the internet work fine once you see the vehicle you want at the dealers inventory....that way your negotiations are all done about one item that they have and you want...another person in NY indicated what I think is the alternative...vist the dealer see what they got in stock and if not what you want try to get them to do a "find"...in metro areas it may work fine ( ie:Newrak NJ is a port of entry for the East coast). Generally speaking I will not put a deposit (usually $500) and wait for the dealer to "find" the car I want, by doing this I feel that I am of circulation preventing me to do any other possible deals and also puts me at the mercy of the dealer since I ma on the hook. Trying to get the deposit is not immediate it take time...and they usually take their time doing so...
