Replying to: ironjeff (Sep 27, 2009 7:51 pm) I read alot of you say to wait for the 2010 due to them not really dealing with us well.... My question is this: For example, say a 2010 LTD comes out with MSRP of $36k (MAKING THIS UP)...How much do dealers really come off of that with a brand new model? Are you saying you pay full price by waiting?? (maybe those of you who know this time last year approximations) Also...are there generally incentives/cash backs in Oct/Nov for the new models as opposed to just buying an 09 now?? I need to get a car really..but will try to hold off if I can..but really trying to decide how much I can get a 09 ltd for vs a 2010 if I wait... Thanks..been reading for a while... d

Replying to: zelduh (Sep 28, 2009 5:18 am) But, "I" am waiting for a 2010. Prices for 2010 are the same as 2009 except for Sport which is $ 50 more because you now get a shiny exhaut tip. IMHO, you will pay close to or exactly MSRP for the 2010 & I do not expect any incentives at the very beginning. Price you pay for 2010 over 2009 will be more than offset by the depreciation loss on a 2009 as soon as the 2010s come out.

Replying to: zelduh (Sep 28, 2009 5:18 am) i'd get the '09. if you need a car now, then you need a car. the 2010's won't be discounted until well into the late spring/early summer. esp if you're looking to buy a 4x4 which are in high demand in snow season. if the economy sinks back down you may get a chance at a good price for a 2010...but even so, this car is in high demand and the dealers know it. good luck. |

New Blizzard Pearl with leather Ash interior Base price = $30,000 LA - Leather PB - Power Rear Door PC - Special Color QG - EVP #6 (Dual auto climate zone, Auto rear air, Homelink, Cold Weather, Navigation/JBL 4 disc changer, Hands free phone, XM ready, MP3 playback) SR - Moonroof TO - Tow prep CT - Carpet/Cargo Mat 3T - Cross Bars MSRP = $37,309 (after Extra Value Package MSRP discount of $1,200) Paid $33,000 + TTL Consumer Reports buying guide shows bottom-line dealer cost (as equipped) is $32,600. Plus the dealer added an additional $1,000 to the trade-in value of my Expedition over what 3 other dealers would offer. Caught them late Sunday on the last weekend of this month. They had a sales push and seemed to be intent on hitting a "sold" number.

| Just picked up my 2009 4WD Highlander limited today and turned down all service/maintenance contracts which run as high as $3000.00 plus. Any opinions on these when you sit down way down the hall with the finance guy who has a sheet all ready for you with your name on it. First ? from him was how long do you keep your vehicles. He asked me if the problem was price-said yes-then gave me a "deal" which I also rejected. | |

$27,700 was what I was quoted with: Blizzard Pearl 8-way power driver cold weather tow package extra value package 2 on a base model V6-- Said it was invoice but then included: dealer holdback charge of $500, floor mats, de-icer, finance reserve charge of $250-something, and a charge called TDA for like $500--are these charges BS?? Edmunds only figures $800 destination fee. thanks

| I finally decided to take the plunge. I settled on the 2009 Highlander - one of only a couple available. It was the color (grey) that I wanted and included the navigation (not a priority). In the end it is a 2009 Limited Highlander AWD, options pkg 8 with tow package and rear spoiler. The only thing missing is the DVD rear entertainment system. MSRP came out to about $39100 - with invoice coming out to about $35500. I paid $36500 about $1000 over invoice. I am sure others probably got a better deal but in the end I am content with the outcome and the experience was great. The 2.9% financing was a nice little perk as well. | |
