What's the name of that dealer? What was the exterior color and the interior color? Do you know the vehicle's VIN number?

Color was Silver Sky Metallic. I think the interior is considered Red Rock or something like that. It is basically shades of Gray, Silver , and Black. All leather. I don't have the VIN number handy. Why do you want that?
 
The dealer is McGee Toyota in Hanover, MA.

The Ltd sequoia is only available in either a light gray interior or a light tan interior (based on the exterior color chosen). The Red Rock interior with black carpeting is only available in the Platinum Sequoia.

With the options you state I would like to take it to my dealer and see if he can give me the same options at that price or lower. If not I may want to buy that particular vehicle you were describing. So if I called them I could give them that vehicle's VIN number and they would know exactly which vehicle I am talking about. Sounds like a great deal to me.

Hi zone4,
 
I appreciate your desire for a good deal and I want to help you out. But I just don't feel comfortable sending out the VIN to a car I just bought. I hope you don't take offense to that. And even if I did, it all comes down to whether or not your dealer wants to make a deal or not. They will probably debate you on the value of my trade in anyway. They will claim that I got this deal because I got more for the trade in.
 
Dealers will often want to negotiate the price of the car you are buying and the value of your trade in as two separate deals. If they feel you are willing to pay more than what they consider their bottom line, they are then willing to give more for the trade in. All that matters from the buyers point of view in the end is the bottom line. Which is what you pay for the new car after trade in. In my case that was 42K. If the dealer wants to think they gave me 10K for the trade in and sold the car for 52K or gave me 2K for the trade in and sold the car for 44K makes absolutely no difference to me. But I can tell you Kelly Blue Book value for my trade in was $5K. So I believe I payed $47K for the car and got $5K for the trade in.
 
You can look up MSRP for the base Platinum and add the options I got and see what MSRP was for my car. You can do that on many web sites. The only real benefit you can get from my experience is the knowledge that some dealerships are accepting what I offered for my car. Inventories and other factors differ across the country. And from dealer to dealer. It also depends on your level of patience and perseverance. Maybe you can do a little better or a little worse. But from what I see and others, you should be able to get close.
 
Good luck,
 
Warwickmon

Hi zone4,
 
One more thing. I was mistaken when I said I have Red Rock interior. I saw some picture of Red Rock on the web and I don't think I got that. I am pretty sure I got Gray interior. It is still all leather and power heated captains chairs on back seat, but I think it is just Gray.

Hey Folks - Just figured I would post my recent Sequoia purchase experience here for all those who are in the market...
 
I am in the Albany NY area...while considering an offer from a couple of dealers, I came across an advertised special at a small local toyota dealership...2008 Sequoia, SR5, 5.7 V8...MSRP $46,538, advertised price online $31,995...which I thought was a great deal, so imagine my shock when they applied the $3000 rebate to that price! Total price was $28,995 + tax + reg. I am very happy with the price!
 
The dealer was great, I can't say enough good things about them. No obnoxious "paperwork" fees, no obnoxious salesman, really great dealership to work with. I didn't haggle at all...the price was just too far below what I was negotiating with everyone else...I was getting offers of $34,500 (rebate included) for stickers of around $43000 at other dealers...I think I could have pushed the other dealers a bit harder and gotten a little bit more off, but not much, and my sense was nowhere even close to the deal I got.
 
Anyhow, the deals are out there for the 08's folks...good luck!

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't know you purchased the vehicle. I don't blame you for not wanting to give out the VIN. I thought they were trying to sell you the vehicle and you hadn't made up your mind whether you wanted it or not. With all the options I think you got a really great deal.

I have never seen a 4X4 Plat MSRP at 58K - perhaps it is missing some of the other stuff.... In my region 4X4 Plat's are 60's.
 
You would be hard pressed to buy a 4X4 Plat in Las Vegas - I was told LV orders only 4X2's.

Here is a link to the inventory of Platinum Sequoia's at the dealer where I bought mine. Sorry the link is so long but if it doesn't work just go to the home page and check out the new inventory. 2 of the 3 Platinums left in stock are under $60K. Final price is all about options. Base MSRP for a Platinum with 4 wheel drive is $55,600.00. I don't think that varies across the country but I could be wrong. I agree you will probably never see one with no additional options. Mine only had 4 options which were:
 
Rear DVD system : $1670
Daytime Running Light: $40
Laser cruise control: $600
Cold Package: $100
Total options: $2410
 
+ Base = $58,010
+ destination charge = $745
 
Grand total = $58755.00
 
That was mine. Of course, as I stated in great detail before, that is not what I paid. Maybe where you live all the Plats are just more loaded with options. Most accessories like mats are way overpriced at MSRP. You can get all that stuff on-line for much cheaper.
