'09 Limited Sequoia

Got an email quote on a Sequoia (actually a blanket statement on all in stock) for MSRP less $10000. The only one I'm interested in is an SR5 with $7k worth of options, most of which I don't want. I've got another dealership I'm negotiating with now that has a Limited with power back door, daytime running lights, and sunroof (MSRP + dealer fees = $47,870). Assuming they match the 10k offer ($37870), what would be a reasonable counter offer?
This price seems lower than what I'd been offered up until now, and somewhat lower than most of the posts in the forum. Is this going to be as good as it gets for me?
Thanks!

It seems like a reasonable offer. I have a feeling that the dealer fees ( such as doc fees) are close to $500-700. In CA, these are fixed at $55, and most other states these are variable ( I've seen them range from $350-800). Taking this into acct. you are most likely at $9700-9200 below MSRP - in my opinion is quite good for these days.

Sorry for joining the thread late but one question...is this price quote you received for an '09? I was under the impression that Toyota was skipping production on the '09 and going straight to '10. I tried to look up specs on the '09 on Edmunds and found nothing. Regardless, the 10k off dealer cost is a good deal but if it turns out that it is for a brand new '08 they are probably factoring in the additional depreciation despite the fact it is new. Good luck.

Any apple folks out there that can help me with something? One of the accessories for the 2010 Sequoia is an ipod interface cord "allowing you to control the ipod through the head unit and steering wheel." What I want to know is....can I hook up my IPHONE and have my movies play on the dvd entertainment system? I can do this with an adaptor cord on my tv at home, but would be beside myself if I can do this with the car....I have so much kids tv and movies on the iphone that I hate to buy or rent DVD's for the car...not to mention my own shows....Anyone, anyone?

The ipod interface cord can be installed on the '08 also ( about $200). It is the same as Lexus. You won't be able to play the movies off iPOD products in your vehicle. Music ..YES, and Music Videos..NO. Sorry !!!

I was looking for a new '08 in Boston area and they are offering $10,000 off MSRP for a limited. I found a couple with MSRP in the $50k-$52k range. So I am confident I can purchase one of these for $40,000. But I just found a demo with similar features and 5,000 miles with MSRP at $52,000. How much of a discount should I be looking for on this demo as compared to similar brand new vehicle?

I was actually thinking about purchasing a 08 sequoia but after further debate, the price is not much of a discount considering that its 2 yrs old. Currently, its either 3500rebate or 1.9% finance. 2010 invoice pricing shouldn't be too bad since I pan to do financing. In addition, I can get the color and options I like instead of the leftovers at the lots that has been sitting for 1 plus year. Let me know what you think.

Well, I found that they were not dealing on the 10's yet. You might want to reconsider, but do it quickly. I just got a 08 Sequoia Limited MSRP -48890 for 39890 plus I had them add XM receiver that it did not not have for free ($465 option). The dealership also essentially gave me retail (Edmunds retail) Sequoia and when I drove it up to pick up the new one, they took it from me, because they had it sold already. The best discount that I could get on a 10 was about 3k off. I went to Edmunds and ran the price for a used 08 Sequoia with 15k miles and same options. Price difference was about $1500. So, that led me to pull the trigger and get the 08. I hope this gives you some perspective on what is going on right now. There are not many 08's left out there in the SE right now. Enjoy whatever you get, there are major improvements on the new 08's vs. the older one that I had.

I think people make too much about these 08's being 2 years old. Sure it has been sitting on a lot getting rain and sun but with the paints they use these days, there should be very little wear and tear if any. Mechanically should be no problem at all. Mine (I bought a Platinum in January) had 10 miles on it even if it may have come out of the factory 18 months before that. Maybe I am biased because I bought one but it was spanking new in every regard when I got mine. Saving 10K from a 2010 is a much more tangible difference.
Psychologically, you have decide if having a 2010 in the driveway is more important than $10K in the bank for essentially the same car. Simple as that.
Good luck.
