#4956 of 5158 New 2012 Highlander Limited by gf2020

Mar 07, 2012 (5:30 pm)

Picked up our new 2012 Highlander Limited this afternoon from http://www.actontoyota.com/index.htm in Littleton, MA.
 
MSRP on the Highlander Limited was $38,917, the Edmunds invoice price was $35,519. We negotiated a price of $35,000 and then received a $500 rebate, making the final sales price $34,500. We also negotiated a $9000 trade-in value (saving almost $600 in sales tax) for our 2006 Mercury Mountaineer with 80,000 miles, leaving a net difference of $25,500 before tax and title. All in all, we are pretty happy with the deal and expect to be very happy with the Highlander for many years to come.
 
This is the second Toyota in 24 months (I bought a 2010 Tundra in March 2010) that I have purchased from Acton and they are great to deal with.

#4958 of 5158 2012 SE deal by k2chad

Mar 09, 2012 (6:46 pm)

I just picked up a 2012 Highlander SE in ME. Dealers in MA, NH, and ME were all willing to go $1900 under invoice using the March special of $750 customer cash, or $1150 under while taking advantage of 0% financing for 60 months. A little better than the $500/1.9% February deals, so I bit. Lots of inventory up here to choose from. I got a white SE 4wd:
special paint color (blizzard white)
AW mats
mudguards
tow prep
wheel locks
cross bars
side moldings
MSRP (includes $810 destination): $37, 553
Invoice: $34,602
I paid: $33,452 (state taxes not inclusive, nor title fee), 0% financing for 60 months.
 
Since holdback is $709, there is an additional $441 that they are pretty eager to part with so I'd say there must be around $500 manufacturer to dealer cash in there to play with on top of the holdback.
 
I probably could have ground out another $150 by waiting until the end of the month, but ME dealers are limited and I'd have to pay the $30 inspection fee (mine came with the sticker) and more hassle by buying out of state. All in all I'm quite pleased.

Just purchased a 2012 Limited without NAV. Going to put in a aftermarket dvd/nav unit and tv's in the headrest. Toyota is very proud of their NAV head unit from the factory ($3000).
 
Listed at $38,168 and my OTD price was $34,900. They also paid off the $21,700 balance on my 2009 Highlander SE. I feel good about the deal.

#4963 of 5158 2012 Highlander SE V6 4x4 in NYC by orangeman99

Mar 24, 2012 (7:02 pm)

I just brought home my new SE V6. So far it's AWESOME!!! I also returned my 2009 RAV4 at lease end, a week early (lease end was 4/2/12). There was no equity in that car since I had an accident, so I couldn't turn it in early. I leased a Gray/Black Highlander with Tow Prep, Floor Mats, and Wheel locks (MSRP $36,823). I also added GAP waiver. But they didn't have in stock with black interior, so he had to find one.
 
He found my color but it had remote starter instead of wheel locks (MSRP $37,271). He gave me that one with not a penny more than the agreed upon price. An extra $448 in options free.
 
My numbers:
 
Tier 1+ credit
36mo/12k lease
$403 + $5 GAP = $408/mo
Down: first month + DMV (transfer)=$533
 
On my lease agreement, the selling price is listed as $35,104, but they gave me a trade-in value of $1563 for my returned car (not sure why???), so my effective selling price was 33,541 (MSRP $37,271)
 
I leased from Star Toyota in Bayside (Queens), NY. My salesman was Anthony Cruz, he's a straight shooter and always stayed in touch, something I found lacking in most sales guys.
