Replying to: nucleus66 (Sep 30, 2009 9:24 pm) Nuclus66,   Did you get this at the initial price quoted by the dealer? Or were you able to get the dealer to agree to a lower price than what they initially quoted? Replies to this message: nucleus66 (Oct 01, 2009 5:14 pm) nucleus66 (Oct 01, 2009 5:21 pm)

Replying to: nucleus66 (Sep 30, 2009 9:24 pm) Well you got a better deal than I was getting so I did not take that plunge yet. (this was on Monday night)   They would not go below $35200 for a LTD but WITHOUT the navigation...So they did not get my money. (MSRP approx 38300.   Another dealer would not go below $35 either so I didn't bite.   Be happy with your car...Sounds like you got the best of what they were offering at this time.   I am not sure if I am going to continue or not...I am wavering on the RAV4 -only b/c I may not be in the US for a long time....and to resell I am not sure if I can unload it quicker...but I do love the highlander..I have been driving it for a year as a rental (friend in business-was a base model) but now I will be here longer I will buy something....   Let's see how they treat me in the next week or so...   I am tempted to wait for that 2010 and just not get all the bells and whistles.   BTW...I am sure your price was $35.5 plus tax and title right? Was the desitnation charge included??

Replying to: ghost2010 (Oct 01, 2009 1:35 pm) I got the information on all the cars available in the area (only three dealerships in area had any left). They all pretty much had the MSRP listed the same. About 5 of the AWD limited were listed at $38200 with option package #7 and tow package - I have a small ski boat. I did the Edmund's TMV and determined that a fair price would be $35600 for this car - or about $1000.00 over invoice. The manager and I talked about the fact that they did not have the exact car I was looking for - but I asked him what he would want for the grey one in stock. He came back and presented me with a quote - it came in at $37200. We talked about a variety of things including how much one should pay for a navigation system that according to several was considered pretty poor (lots of complaints), he agreed that it did have some issues. The MSRP on the navigation was about $1500.00. I offered him my researched $35600 plus offered to split the MSRP cost of the navigation - I offered $36300. He came back with $36500 and I jumped on it - in essences $1000.00 below invoice - essentially my original plan but with navigation. If others reading this are doing exact research my car also came with floor mats and cross bars included in the $36500 price. Replies to this message: nucleus66 (Oct 01, 2009 5:21 pm)

Replying to: nucleus66 (Oct 01, 2009 5:14 pm) Wrong wording in my last post - I paid $1000.00 over invoice for my car. I paid $36500 for the car plus $3950 for tax and license (we have 9.5% tax rate).
#4069 of 4177 2009 or 2010 Highlander by edkak Oct 02, 2009 (1:20 pm)
Will it be better to get a 2009 or a 2010 Highlander? Where are the 2010 Highlanders being made?
#4070 of 4177 What's a fair offer for a 2008 Highlander Sport Demo? by sweetsoul Oct 02, 2009 (5:35 pm)
Our local dealer still has a new 2008 Highlander Sport Demo model that has 4900 miles on it. I offered $22,000 on the spot, knowing that was super low. The MSRP is $36k, it has fabric seats, JBL w/ bluetooth, moonroof, and 3rd row seating. But it's now 2 years old, it is a demo, and it has 4900 miles on it. So what do you think a reasonable offer would be? Is $24k still way too low? Replies to this message: zelduh (Oct 03, 2009 9:58 am) sbuhler (Oct 03, 2009 10:34 am) sweetsoul (Oct 04, 2009 2:37 pm)

Replying to: sweetsoul (Oct 02, 2009 5:35 pm) My last shot before just waiting but I want to know thoughts asap. I may go in today.   I was able to get the dealer to $700 above invoice for a 4CYL FWD Blizzard Pearl with some upgrades....We are in Delaware area so not lots of snow and ice but the mileage is what I love..It says 21-27 and I thought it drove really well.....even par with the RAV4 v6..Still quiet..   We don't get too much snow areound here..but wanted to know thoughts on resell if I have to.   I jsut don't want to spend the $30k plus for the 09...as much as I love this car I may not hold onto it super super long due to geographic changes in the next couple of years.....Alternatively, I drove the RAV4 V6..and for just about the same price (for the 10 RAV) I can get my highlander with good mileage...   ANy thoughts? Everyone in the NE area always says gets 4wd...but really how many times do you use it.....to pay that extra..   Would love an answer asap..would love to maybe do the deal today if I get feedback about those issues..   PS...from my reading on the v6 RAV people like it but really their gas milage is not as much as they thought it would be...That is why I am comparing...   Thank you all..

Replying to: sweetsoul (Oct 02, 2009 5:35 pm) From what I noticed with Demos is that they still don't want to loose much money on the deal. Many times they just wait for the right buyer that wants that exact model and will pay a little of a premium on it. If the MSRP is 36K (not inflated dealer MSRP), I still doubt you will be able to get it much under 27-29K (Invoice - any money they have on it - some for the miles) if it has never been titled before.

Replying to: sbuhler (Oct 03, 2009 10:34 am) Thanks sbuhler I am going to try to negotiate with them and see. The salesperson was mumbling that it would at least need to be another $2-3k, he thought, for it to be reasonable. But that was with an offer of $22k on the table. So...I am going to give it a good effort, prob would pay up to $25k on this '08, but don't want to pay close to invoice. I know there are some dealers where I live that will pretty much sell at or very close to invoice, even if you have to order a car. So if this does not turn out to be a geniunely good deal then I will wait and order one prob the end of December. I'll let you guys know how I make out!
#4074 of 4177 Standard vs. Option Questions re: 2009 Base Model by gwblack Oct 04, 2009 (3:26 pm)
Hello All,   I'm considering buying a 2009 Base model Highlander. There are a few things that are confusing me while researching standard & optional features:   1) The 2009 brochure shows fabric 3rd-row seating as standard on the Base. Also Edmunds shows it as standard, with an available credit to delete it. However, the factory MSRP window sticker on all Base units on my dealer's lot include a $740 charge to include the 3rd-row seat (Option code TH). Does anybody know which is correct?   2) Some Base models on my dealer's lot have a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while others do not. According to the Toyota brochure and car buying websites, a leather-wrapped wheel is not even an option on the Base model (even as part of a package). A person at the Toyota 1-800 # is under the same impression. Has anybody noticed this, or know which package needs ordered to get a leather wheel? Since I may upgrade to after-market leather, I'd like the wheel to match. Local upholstery shops don't want to mess with leathering the steering wheel.   Thanks Gary
