#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.

The dealer posting rules are at the top of the discussion. Mostly we ask that you don't post individual names and contact info - that helps discourage the shill posts. Thanks,   Steve, Host

Edmunds price is close, but they leave out the advertising charge, which is over $500 (I've never had any luck getting rid of it either). Edmunds price was $40,926, for my LTD. I think I ended up paying $41,600. I tried another site and their invoice was right on my price. So, my opinion is that if you can get within $500, like they say, you're doing good. I'm pretty sure I'm within $100 of invoice. I'll crunch the numbers again when I pick up the truck and sign for everything.

thanks Steve, I was looking everywhere but the top of the discussion. I got my '04 Sequoia from Frontier Toyota in Valencia, California. The price was $32150, $1000.00 below invoice.
