I plan on going to another dealership in Illinois that has a couple 2009 Highlanders in stock that are equipped the way I want.
 
What are your opinions on what the difference in price should be between an 09 or a 2010.
What I mean is...
If I thought that $32,000 was a good price for a particular 2010. How much less would you be willing to pay for an equivalent 2009?
 
Really just looking for a ballpark number. $500 less, $750, $2000 ???

I'm in the same boat - here's what I've found from getting quotes online and by calling into dealers. For the same car with the same options, the best I can get right now on a 2009 is about $140 over invoice by calling in and playing dealers against each other. The average price over invoice for a 2009 from all the dealers I've gotten is about $300-400 over invoice.
 
For a 2010 I've called and emailed - and the responses over the phone have been very vague and until recently they couldn't even get prices. Now that they do it seems like many dealerships are not willing to go much lower than MSRP which is pretty nuts. The best I've gotten was an internet quote for $350 over invoice for a 2010. One thing I did notice was a change in the psirce of one of the Extra Value Packages.
 
I'm looking at a Sport 4x4 and one of the packages is QG and for the 2009 it's listed at $2475 MSRP and $2228 Dealer. But for 2010 it's closer to $2900. The dealer didn't know why the increase in almost 500, and I'm hoping it's not his own fudging of the numbers so maybe you can call around and see what you find.
 
The ballpark number I would expect would be $500 or less. They all say that these brand new models are so popular that they don't need to discount it but I think that's garbage.

So it sounds like they're not really budging on the price over invoice. $300-400 over on either the 2009 or 2010, but the 2009 could be around $500 cheaper because of the package markup. How much more would you personally be willing to pay for the 2010?
 
In my mind, $500 isn't worth it. I'll just buy the 2010. I'm thinking that $1500-2000 less is what would get me to buy a 2009.
 
I'm actually not too dissappointed in the price I was offered on the 2010 (see earlier post) I'm convinced the Highlander is better than any compareable, so I'm ok with paying a slight premium. They know what type of car they have, just look at consumer reports. I just would expect them to try and get rid of 2009's they have.
 
On a side note, I plan on bringing today's MSNBC Toyota article to the dealership when I go. LOL.

Your earlier post mentioned 3% over invoice - so like $900 over invoice - is that the latest prices you've gotten? I think you should be able to do better than that. Don't forget to mention you're a costco member.

Highlander Sport V6 4x4 by flintmobile

I am looking to get a Sport with the following options
V6 4x4 + QF + SR + TO + PN + mats
MSRP $34840/- and as per Edmunds invoice ~ $31300/-
 
Best offer $32300/- for a cash deal. Same options in 2010 is priced $32700/-
as the QF is priced $400 more for 2010.
 
So I am being offered no discounts for 2009
 
Anyways, I do need a vehicle soon as our camry got totaled over the weekend, already have a check from the Insurance
 
One dealer says Edmunds invoice is not true and he added some Advertising fees and other stuff , which he is willing to share in person ..this saturday.
 
My question is has any one seen what are legitimate charges on Invoice on top of what Edmunds shows, so I can compare and see if this price is any good and how low can I go ?
 
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yeah, the last price they gave me is 3% over invoice a new 2010. I know what I personally am willing to pay for an 2009 and 2010. The catch is the trade-in I have. That's where most of my negotiating will take place. That particular dealer didn't have the color of the 2009 I wanted, so I'm going to head to another dealer that does tomorrow. I probably won't buy a 2010 until the dealers actually get them. We'll see.
 
I didn't about the Costco thing, so thanks for that info.

Use the Edmunds invoice price as a guide only. But I wouldn't believe what the dealer is telling me to be their invoice price either. You can't rely entirely on the invoice price, some dealers will give you a low invoice price then add some junk charges later or try to sell you some extra packages. Dealer I bought from tried to add $500 in "prep fees". Find out what the vehicle sales tax is for your area also, and walk in with an idea of what you want the OTD price to be. Bring a calculator and be wary of how they compute the taxes since sometimes they try to make a profit by saying you have to pay $2500 in taxes, when in actuality you should only be paying $2000.
 
I declined all the extra packages when I bought my LTD Highlander, but the dealer originally offered the 10 yr/100k extended warranty for $3500!, when I declined he eventually dropped the price to $1000! A $2500 difference!

2009 highlander price quotes by mc98

Best quote I got for an 09 Highlander Sport w/ev#6, LA, Tow pckg, Carpet floormats, moonroof $32,988.00 which was invoice. This was through USAA about 1 month ago. The price has since gone up and the best I can get now is $800 over invoice. It seems that the cash for clunkers has negatively impacted people who need to buy cars now. Toyota claims their inventory is very low and that is why no real rebates are being provided.
 
Maddy11, is your price for HL ltd ev#8 of $35,925 out the door, or do you still have to add ttl??
