#3848 of 4177 Replacing my wrecked Highlander. by druid21 Jun 09, 2009 (6:39 pm)
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.

Replying to: mdhutton (Jun 09, 2009 3:35 pm) 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...

Replying to: saynotominivan (Jun 12, 2009 8:18 pm) Brian Bemis Toyota in DeKalb. It's not really a "suburb," but worth the short drive because the net net on my deal was 3K better out there..... Much more flexible on the new car price and more reasonable on my trade. My wife and I each went to college NIU so going back to the corn wasn't all bad. In fact, she's looking at a Venza right now and I wouldn't go anywhere else !   Two, more local, dealers weren't as enjoyable to work with, so they each lost out -- Pauly Toyota in Crystal Lake and Schaumburg Toyota.

Replying to: aviddiver_her (Mar 29, 2009 5:05 pm) Is the fleet manager's price reliable? We went to a local Toyota dealer and no sale man care about us, so I go into the manager 's office directly and the fleet manager helped us. He give me one and said his price is the best one in the dealership. MSRP: 28710.00 His price:26838.4 And I do not think his price is the best, since there are plenty of better prices in this forum.

Replying to: whomai (Jun 14, 2009 12:10 pm) Based on your quoted price it looks like there are not many extras on the vehicle, and for what I hear that nakes the negotiation to be less money...less msrp=less discounts... I also read that it is true that the prices offer by the fleet managers is usally the best since he respond only to the delaership owners and makes no commissions..but they are also hard to reach....maybe in your case hesaid that he was the fleet manager and maybe he is not,,,good luck to you Replies to this message: whomai (Jun 14, 2009 5:57 pm) svofan2 (Jun 16, 2009 4:57 am)

Replying to: svofan2 (Jun 14, 2009 4:13 pm) To svofan2, Yes, I checked online and he is the fleet manager. The price he gave me is the "dealer invoice + $200". And he showed the "invoice" to me. But I did not believe him. Based on what I learned from this forum, some people did get the price below the dealer invoice. Thanks, Replies to this message: svofan2 (Jun 16, 2009 4:57 am)

Replying to: whomai (Jun 14, 2009 5:57 pm) ..then the problem may be that that dealer is selling Highlanders with no problems so they are not willing to negotiate lower prices....if I were you I would use this price as comparison price and go shopping around and see what you find..maybe you should see what Fitz Automall is selling that vehicle for and then compare ..and compare again until you find someone with a price that YOU consider fair based on your research..remember conditions not only change from deler to dealer but also in different parts of the country..good luck, let us know how you finally do..
#3857 of 4177 Is there any trick? by chatauto Jun 18, 2009 (6:50 pm)
Hi, I got an "e-Price" quote from one local MD Toyota dealer for a 4 cylinder base 4x2.   MSRP:$26,935 Invoice: $24,761 E-Price:$23,261   Is there any more room to lower the "e-Price" further ?   Thanks.
