Got an excellent deal through an internet purchase from the toyota web page. Went to the only local dealer who would sell over the internet. Ended up closing on a final price over the phone before I even went in to the dealer. They had to find my exact vehicle which took approximately 2 weeks. Great vehicle.   Indigo Ink 4X2 V6 - 25,095 Con Pkg (IQ) - 320 Roof Rack (Jr) - 220 Power Seat (DE) - 390 Privacy Glass (PG) - 310 Tow Pep (TO) - 160 Perforated Leather (LA1) - 1429 Carpet Mats (PV5) - 179 Toyo Guard (XY3) - 619 Delivery & Handling - 505   Total MSRP - 29230 Invoice - 26070   I Paid - 26274 (2956 under MSRP, 204 over Invoice)

#44 of 4174 HL LTD by montanabill1 Apr 19, 2001 (7:04 pm)
Bought my fully loaded silver HL with a MSRP of 35,369 for 32,050 including an engine block heater installed by dealer. We have no sales tax here in MT. Helped that I had bought a new Toyota Tundra last year and just wrote a check to keep it simple. Basically 1k over invoice so it can be done.
#45 of 4174 HL Limited 4wd loaded - Rochester NY by jscotto Apr 20, 2001 (5:53 pm)
I just purchased an HL through autobuytel.com dealer located about 60 miles away. He quoted me at 2 1/2% over invoice however I got him down to a straight $500 over invoice plus the TDA. MSRP was $34,595 and paid $31,200. I was pretty pleased with the experience (it took 15 minutes), however, I do not have my HL yet. Its been two weeks and it hasn't moved from the port. Supposedly, it should arrive this week. I'll let you know. I took this offer to my local dealer that I purchase my last car from and he stated that there was no way that he could match the $500 price. If I was willing to go up another $1,500 he would sell me the HL. No thanks.
#46 of 4174 highlander vs rx300 by rollie6647 Apr 23, 2001 (2:29 pm)
Just purchased a fully loaded rx300-for 300 over invoice. 32500. This is a better deal than an highlander. Shop Lexus first. Much better service and shopping experience.
#47 of 4174 Re rollie6647 RX300 price by dniehus Apr 23, 2001 (5:08 pm)
Did that "fully loaded" RX300 include leather seats, moonroof and CD player? If so, you indeed got a great price. By all means folks thinking about the HL should also consider the RX and vice versa. The deal you mentioned is not available in our area (South Jersey/Philadelphia). You'd be lucky here to get a loaded 2001 RX300 for less than $38,000. Our dealers are selling certified pre-owned (CPO) 1999 RX's for $31-32,000. Once pricing came down on the HL, I wrote off further consideration of a CPO RX300.   Both the HL and the RX are wonderful vehicles. I considered both. I was very taken aback when I checked out service costs on the Lexus -- at least double maintenance costs on the HL. Also note that the RX300 is due for a complete redesign either this fall or early next year. That potentially could have an impact on the value of the "old" style RX. Perhaps Lexus dealers are already trying to clear out inventory? My guess is that Lexus may be taking a hit from buyers going for the HL rather than the RX300. They certainly will have more difficulty now selling the CPO RX300s. Note that the HL is built at the same assembly plant in Japan as the RX and shares some components.
#48 of 4174 RX300 by hialeahmaria Apr 24, 2001 (7:29 pm)
I also considered buying an RX300 instead of the HL, but comparisons just didn't add up. Cofiguring the Lexus similar to my HL (actually it didn't have all my HL does) came out to $38,000+. Servicing is more expensive than Toyota. Mine was $32561msrp and I paid $29883 inc. dealer fees. The HL also has better visibility and better mileage (according to 2 Lexus owners I know). The Lexus does have a nice center console, but I'd still prefer mine without one. To each his own. Congratulations and enjoy your car! I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.
#49 of 4174 So Cal Purchase at Carson Toyota - Good deal I think by miyemura Apr 26, 2001 (10:20 pm)
I checked things out on the interned while I was lurking around checking out the Highlander reviews and prices. A post on the Edmunds site pointed me to arson Toyota and Dane Whit mire. I am very happy I read that post as I think I was really treated well by Dane and arson Toyota.   Dane is not a pushy marketing person and wants you to get what you want when you want it. No pressing you to buy something, she knows she has a good product and can give a competitive price. I really liked her low key but positive attitude. I will promote her to friends and family.   I got my V6 WAD with DE DR TO AG CQ HE CF GN SK for about $26,600 before taxes, doc fees and license. About $3,000 off MSRP. And to top it off, I was in and out in about an hour and that was with actually taking time to chose which Highlander I wanted (Green no moonroof no spoiler.).   I highly recommend Diane if you are in So. Cal., check out the Carson Toyota website. Also e-mail Diane, she will answer your questions.   Mark I.
