I missed it!
 
I sent an e-mail to ask what options that 4x2 has and the next day it was gone from their web listing. Just my luck I guess.
 
Thanks and will keep searching and keep posting more questions here
 
Sincerely,

Yes, that's a great price for the 6 cyl version. We paid just a bit less for the 4 cyl. Check to see if it has the 3rd row delete option. If you want the 3rd row, that model won't have it. That's one way to get the 6 cyl price lower. No big deal if you don't want that 3rd row.

Hi, jpettibone,
 
Appreciated if you can tell me where you are and what options are on your Highlander L4? I was attracted by an e-mail quote but turns out it is not there. Although I was told the options it would have are FE, EH, CQ, RL.
 
A different dealer said that it will not match that quote since the quote is just trick to get people in. The e-mail assumes 2 rebates that I would not qualify ( military personnel and new college graduate ). The fine print does say "e-price includes all applicable rebates and incentives" on the email. That different dealer quoted me $24776 and $255xx to get out of door!
 
Did any one in mid-Atlantic region get a L4 version Highlander for less?
 
Thanks.

The problem with Toyota prices is that specific regions can only get specific packages of options. I'm in the MO, KS region, and ours had...
 
TH, DJ, PE, DR, EH, & Floor Mats for 24750 including dest. & fees. Tax was extra, since you directly to the state after a sale in MO. That included the $1000 rebate from the last period (which I think is $750 now).
 
Compared to the equipment on ours, I think that price is still a bit high.
 
I don't think there were any TH packages in the mid-Atlantic region, but I could be wrong. They can always get cars from other regions, but they may try to up the cost on you. Good luck.

Thanks to everyone who contributed here.
 
I went with the 2009 base Highlander (4 cylinders, FWD) with FE, EH, CQ, and RL. After dealer coupon and Toyota customer cash, I got OOD $23677 ( VA car sale tax is about 3% ). Unfortunately, no free stuff thrown in.
 
The dealer is "355 Toyota" in Maryland if you are interested.
 
Again, thanks.

That sounds like a very good deal. Our sales tax in MO on cars is more like 8%, so consider yourself lucky.

jpettibone,
 
In VA we pay car tax (called personal property tax) every year.
 
Recall your comment about option availability for a region, I think you are right on. All the base 4 cylinders I saw have same options. Some may have additional floor mat, that is it.

Dealer lifetime oil package by chatauto

Hi, fellow edmunders
 
I got my new base 4 HL, and the dealer is offerring lifetime oil change ( filter not included ) for $875. That price also include a set of floor mat ( I have already ordered weathertech floor liner for the HL, expensive ! ). I think the rest of them are just gimick... Should I bite the bullet?
 
Does any one have an idea how much does it cost for an oil change on a 4 cylinder SUV ??
 
Thanks in advance.

Well, let's do the math. For the first 100,000 miles, let's say you change the oil every 5k miles. That's 20 oil changes. If you sell the car at 100,000 miles, and each oil change would cost you about $25 retail, that would be $500. Hard to make that deal work out in your favor at less than 100,000k. If you make it to 200,000, then we're talking $1000, and the deal would work out. Tweek the parameters to fit your exact situation. I'm not counting the cost of the floor mats, since they have no actual value to you. IMHOP, it's not worth it.
