#504 of 1709 Bought a Limited by gkatz1 Jan 03, 2004 (12:21 pm)
I just got through trading my 2002 SR5 for a 2004 Limited. I'm glad I had the Sequoia to trade since it had a real good resale. I got the new one for pretty close to invoice, the best that I could see from research here. I'll give you all details later.

I paid about $35,000 out the door for my 2004 2wd Sequoia. I bought it in California so taxes and registration drove the price up. It is loaded except for leather seat and DVD entertainment. I don't like trading in and I had never traded in a car but that is an individual preference. Do what you're comfortable with. It is best to sell your own car but some people don't like the hassle that goes with it.

I'm in the North Bay and have been shopping hard for the same car you have purchased. I am willing to drive a distance for the right deal. Who did you work with?
#507 of 1709 Trading by gkatz1 Jan 05, 2004 (6:38 am)
I'm not a fan of trading either, however, I noticed that my Sequoia only had about a $1500 difference between trade and private resale values. So, trading it for the 04 left me with a sales tax on $12,000 instead of $41,000. That's $600 in tax when trading, $2050 when selling private and buying the 04. So, for me it was a no-brainer. We have a 5% sales tax here in MA.

Thanks gkatz...the '01 Highlander looks about the same situation as your deal. I've got two kids still in car seats and don't want to have to prep the car more than once...trading in.
#509 of 1709 Do your research by gkatz1 Jan 05, 2004 (10:08 am)
Make sure you go armed with the info on what yours is worth. Used Highlanders are in demand and they get good money for them, especially if they're in excellent shape.

I am not sure what I kind of information I am allowed to share here. I thought I read somewhere that we cannot promote or solicit. Let me review the terms of agreement before I share with you the name of the dealership. Any thoughts on this from other members?

Thank you for your ethical response. My understanding is that you can offer Dealership Name and location ONLY. No salesperson names. I have since received an internet offer of $32,550 ($800 over invoice) on the car I want. They requested credit card number for deposit. Let's see how it shakes out.
#512 of 1709 Limited in NY by 426hemi1 Jan 05, 2004 (6:15 pm)
Well it took quite a bit of haggling around the NYC area to get a good deal on an 04 LTD. I finally made a deal on a 4x4, dvd, spoiler, side airbags, running lights, floor mats and 6 disk for 42500 (approx 800 over Edmunds invoice). The other car I was considering was a Suburban which was at a great deal due to some incentives they sent me to help me switch from my Expedition.   So by me committing to my new truck that will virtually lock a complete redesign for next model year!   Also does anyone know if there is much variation in the Edmunds invoice on this truck? Many dealers told me that number is no way correct (although I admittedly trust them last).
#513 of 1709 Special ordering a Sequoia by mr21 Jan 05, 2004 (6:16 pm)
Bill Wright Toyota in Bakersfield will special order vehicles for you. I ordered a 2004 SR5 (4x2) with leather but not the moonroof or DVD system. SR5s in SoCal normally only come with cloth seats from the factory and I didn't want the aftermarket leather. I placed the order 12/3/03 and it should arrive around 1/16/04. I had a good experience with them.
