Replying to: mike1112 (Jul 10, 2009 4:05 am) Mike,   That sounds like a fair price. Does the 3% sales tax suggest that you are in North Carolina? I am in Durham, NC and if you are in N.C., would you mind giving me the dealers name and salespersons name?   I'm leaning toward a Pilot EX-L at this time but the Highlander is my second choice. I presently have a 4Runner which I have been extremely happy with. But I would like to go to something that rides better.

#3900 of 4177 2008 Toyota Highlander extended warranty options? by jtsmith Jul 13, 2009 (5:31 pm)
Recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Higlander awd with 37,000 miles in MN two weeks ago. The dealer finance dept. offered 5yr/60k extended warranty for $1800, which I didn't accept. Any ideas on best website, etc to purchase around 5yr/ 75,000 extended warranty or similiar? I plan on keeping the vehicle many years to come and would like some piece of mind, and I am not very mechanically inclined.

Replying to: teoteebob (Jul 13, 2009 11:04 am) i bought at Scott Clark Toyota in matthews, near charlotte. I worked with Mike Black in sales.   I was buying Pilot EX-L also, but at the last time i've changed my mind. Pilot has good usability and really ugly exterior while highlander has good look and OK usability. So, I choose highlander. I am so glad that i changed my choice. I love highlander and now, i hate ugly Pilot.   Hope you can decide what you want.

Replying to: jtsmith (Jul 13, 2009 5:36 pm) Yes...try to look there for the forum of those looking for exteneded warranties...I was surprise to see the difference...I was in the VENZA forum...but look around...good luck..I think that even here in Edmunds you got forums about these warranties...
#3904 of 4177 Is this a good price by walktofast Jul 16, 2009 (3:00 am)
For a Highlander base model 4X2 no third row seats. Dealer $23,864 less $1200 discount. Is this a decent price for this Highlander? 2009 model.   Thanks. Replies to this message: emt27 (Jul 17, 2009 9:05 am)

Replying to: walktofast (Jul 16, 2009 3:00 am) Sounds pretty good to me. What is the MSRP? Which dealership offered this price?
#3906 of 4177 Re: hihy and the "B" under drive [bbb9] by wvgasguy Jul 17, 2009 (9:09 am)
Replying to: bbb9 (Jul 08, 2009 3:32 pm) So, test drove a HiHy. I was expecting to have the ability to down-shift (useful for slowing down or starting up when there's snow) but that's not an option on the HiHy. The sales person indicated the "B" (under drive) was to some sort of means to slow the car without using the breaks. It was hinted that it was a way to save the breaks. Maybe, but I get the feeling it's real value is to slow the car by using wheel revs to gen power to the battery which as an effect slows the car down.    COuld someone clarify what this "gear" is for and how it's used?    I'll appoligize for responding here as it upsets some, but this can be posted in another thread for further discussion. It's a little complicated and you need to study up on the hybrid system as well as the Toyota features such as down hill assist and the traction control.   The saleperson could study up a little as well to give you a little more complete information. The B mode works basically as engine braking so yes you can use it to slow down if you desire. I never used it on my TCH and haven't use it on my HH yet. I have seen though on my 2010 Prius where it has application. It will slow you down, especially on steep slopes. The main time I use it is when I want to slow down without riding my brakes if there is traffic behind me. Riding your brakes in the hybrid system (down to a certain speed) simply reverses the generator to provide charge to the batteries. I try to do it often. It does not use your hydraulic friction brakes. However people behind you may not want to see the brake lights, especially when you are doing it to maintain speed rather than to slow, and especially in heavy traffic where that would cause a safety concern.   You can use it to slow down, but the brake action is an integral part of the charging system for the hybrid and you really don't want to avoid that. As for starting out, the traction control and other features will not allow you to spin the tires. If you are in snow I would recommend driving with snow tires to have adequate traction, but the 4wdi system will do a lot better than the 2wd hybrids in maintaining traction.
