2008 New LTD price vs. 2010 SR5

I am trying to decide between a new 2008 LTD that lists for $52000+ and they are offering it to me for $42,000. When I go to NADA.com and book a used 2008 out with all the same options it gives me a retail value of around $38,000, so should I offer less than the $42,000 and what are my chances they would consider it?
Or I can go with a 2010 SR5 and have the DVD entertainment system installed and the prices are approx. $43,000 with a sale price of approx. $38,000.
Any thoughts/comments?
Thank you!

You have to answer the following questions:
What is price of a used 2010 Sequoia SR5?
Does the SR5 have leather? Bluetooth?
For your reference, I purchased a 2008 SR5 fully loaded (except nav and DVD) for $34,300 brand new ( MSRR: 43,700). It all depends on value for the money - if the SR5 has everything the limited does, and you can get it for 4k less - great. Or you can wait till they give you 10k off the 2010.

Hi, could you please tell me how much off the MSRP did they take off. Did this include the cash back?
What state are you in?
Thank you.

Host (or anyone with advice)
Looking to get rid of my 2003 H2 Hummer with 60,000 for a Toyota Sequoia. What should be looking to pay around for a new Sequoia? Looking for either a limited or platinum truck. How much should I be getting off the truck, etc? Looking to make a purchase by the end of the week.

Not sure what best price is these days on Platinum/Limiteds. On end-of-summer 2008 Platinum/Limited leftovers on lots with a 58K+ MSRP, dealers in mid-atlantic were going down to about 49-50K for them, but I held off for many reasons. Now that 2010s are here (each mid-atlantic dealer recently received 1-2 Sequoias), you would expect to pay more of course, but not the high amounts that I find they are asking, especially now that sales are slow and clunker program is over. Maybe things will improve price-wise in November once dealers get hungry and realize that even with their limited supply of Sequoias, the demand to pay 60K for a SUV in this jobless economy is still very limited. Mark198's 4K below MSRP seems probably about right in this climate going into October, but you will have to fight/negotiate out here to get close to that. Even their Internet sales departments are starting their negotiations way too high. For example, best I recently saw was a dealer starting/asking price of $57,969 ($56,850 + $369 fees + $750 freight) on a Platinum with MSRP of $59,705. So, I laughed that offer off very quickly, as we are not going to get stuck paying basically 2K below MSRP. If prices don't improve in November (we are looking for at least 5K+ below MSRP), then our Plan B is to consider the Infiniti QX54 which has almost the same MSRP as a Platinum, but is going for about 8 or 9K below MSRP. [We own a Nissan SUV now and it's been as reliable as our past Toyotas; plus, all the transmission issues on the earlier generation Sequoia make us nervous . . . if I am being asked to pay close to $60K, I want a vehicle with ZERO warning signs like that. The QX54 has had some issues too, but I would be willing to risk those if I am paying closer to $50K . . . the money saved over the Sequoia could be invested and then used if EVER there were a problem, which is still unlikley on an Infiniti.] Plan C is to hold off until next year (I'm in no rush to drop 50-60K) and check out prices in the winter on the Sequoia again when demand subsides further and potentially dealer supply has slightly increased (or the Sequoias have sat unsold on the lots longer). We will see, but one things for certain, the 2009 sales tax deduction for new vehicle purchases is NO reason to rush to buy one of these this year . . . . do the math, for us it will save us only about $625 in our tax bracket. Thus, don't get fooled by the Toyota dealers trying to bring that up during your "buying experience." 
Good Luck to all.

I have a dealer to $56,432 for Platinum w/ remote start. I am considering it, but I agree. Nissan is giving $6,000 cash on the Q. I am waiting to see what Toyota does in October for the Seq. If nothing, then I will probably wait as well or go another route.

You might want to try True Cars . Com to price out your vehicle and then look at Over Stock .Com cars. I know you can get 3,000 off MSRP now using Over Stock . Com. I do not think 5,000 is possible without some incentive program from Toyota.I have a price right now 3,048 off MSRP from a dealer that I am puting a deposit on. I think you are right prices will go down if you wait but I need to buy something now. Good Luck

Post 1641 is on the money. I would buy at $3,000 off as well (we bought our 2010 Plat a couple of months ago in the same arena). Although, so few of these are trading that I don't think TrueCars is very reliable. These cars are pretty scarce and a lot of dealers are just looking to move the few they are alloted at a good margin. Also, many of the buyers in the $60,000 range really aren't that concerned about the last $2,000 and the dealers know it. I also think that this very well may be the last year that they make the Sequoia's based on my feeling from the dealer when we bought (which we were comfortable with). It's become a niche vehicle this year like the Land Cruiser. I think the decision to go with the Infiniti or Toyota really comes down to personal preference....I feel my Sequoia has a more masculine, rugged look vs. the Infiniti's luxury appearance. They are both loaded with bells and whistles and are relatively reliable.
I love my 2010, but am really thankful for the Sonar and backup camera in my world of tight parking spaces and small children.
