What dealer is this quote from?
Just got a quote from one local dealer as subject.
It's basic model. Is this a fair or good deal?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!!
Manual rear AC
tow prep
cold package
blizzard pearl paint
daytime running lights
roof rack, etc.
Sticker $31,230
Price paid $26,412
Out the door (TTL) was $28,900
This was with very minimal negotiation. I'm guessing they could have been pressed lower, but I hate this type of haggling. I'm happy to answer any questions.
Yes, I will try to bargain today. But first of all I have to persuade my wife. She want to buy a CRV instead.
Have a good weekend.
Is this a good deal or do you think i could get lower?
I know that there won't be any deals on the Venza which is what I would like to have, so I guess that we will go shopping for the Highlander Sport.
Thanks for all the great info here.
Thanks
Just bought 2008 AWD Highlander:
power seat, cold weather package, daytime r. lights, roof rack, not much else
MSRP ~30.5K
Rebate here is $1500
Bought for 26K with a little haggling, but not that much.
Supposedly (and confirmed by consumer reports) that price was essentially "at invoice"
Does this seem pretty good? Worth going for more? There are a lot of Highlanders on the lots it seems.
Thanks.
Now if I could just figure out what is needed to get the XM working(besides a subscription). There seems to be some confusion on this and I cant find the answer. Do I need to purchase a receiver or is it already in the car since the JBL package says pre-wired w/ antenna. ????
I do not know if your price is fair, but a AWD 08 sport is selling as less than $31,000.
I could not get a price lower than $31k in my area on a new one and that was even with a 3rd row seat delete, which we didnt want. Ours has the 3rd row. Our payments would still have been more on a new one paying the 4.9% for 60 months on $29k. Thats even if we could have gotten that. I found that here in CA no dealer was willing to match the TMV pricing. And I searched all dealers within 100 miles of me.
We originally offered $26,500 on this used one, and they acted like they were going to fall off their seats. Typical I know. I sorta wish we would have negotiated a little more, but $27k was our max so it is what it is. We are happy with the car.
Plus, 0% financing for 36 months?
good price or could i go less?
John
Thanks!
available as part of package for Highlander.
You didn't mention costs for aftermarket versions for 08 Highlander.
I'd estimate $1200 for sunroof and $1500 for quality leather.
First thing, this Used 08,what's the mileage, is it a very good deal compare to
New 08 Highlander? That matters the most IMHO.
Even if this used 08 is a good deal, I'd think twice before spending close to
$3000 for aftermarket sunroof and leather. With current economy,you should be
able to find New 08 Highlander with options you want for not much more than
this used 08,if you have to spend $3000 on top of its price.
As far as quality of aftermarket sunroof-It maybe okay,but I doubt they will have
lifetime warranty on leakage! Some aftermarket leather is very nice-But usually
cost quite a bit.
Good luck!
The one dealer I contacted in Des Moines area IA has quoted me the the Vehicle Base Model" price of 34,350. Edmunds quotes the invoice price of 30571. Does this mean that the dealer is asking me 3779 dollars more??
Please help me out with this.
Is the 26k with or w/o 0 Apr?
I got a one with exactly same load, the dealer asked for 26.6k with 0 apr. Is this good?
I failed to mention that MSRP on the this particular vehicle was $38, 800. Their invoice claimed to be $35,100.
Where did you happen to get one for $26.6, or was that a typo? Are you in the Texas / Gulf refgion?
Please be noted that we are talking about the base mode, its msrp is only 31k sth. You said yours is 36800, so I guess yu are talkinga about sports or limited?
where are you getting 0% for 60 month on a Highlander at?
I am in TX and here we are only getting 0% for 60 months.
Also, my numbers were faulty above...apparently the dealership and I had a misunderstanding.
The new numbers on 08 Highlander 2W Sport, MSRP $35,949 has been offered for $33,725 OTD with the 0% financing. We haven't talked trade-in yet. Any ideas on the value I'm getting? The selling price ended up being right at invoice.
4wd Sport MSRP 33,933 paid $29,429 before TTL. (this was with the $1500 rebate). and my own financing.
I'm looking at a 2008 Limited Highlander 2WD with both Navi and Rear Entertainment System. The MSRP on this thing is $40,233 (excluding TTL). The dealer is offering me $35,798 (excluding the $1,500 rebate) because I'm financing at 2.9%. What do you think, good deal?
Anyway, the only two dealers I visited were the only two that published their bottom line price online, and it was a price they stuck to and beat pretty much everyone else.... CarMax/Laurel Toyota and Fitzmall (Lakeforest Toyota). Look at both of their websites. I got a car that MSRP'd for 37,804 for 31,551--more than $2000 under dealer invoice (though I ended up paying 32801, plus a $99 processing fee--the deal was so good I didn't even bother trying to haggle this one away--to take the 0% over 36 months). I was able to put nothing down on this car.
The car I bought was identical to 5361901 on CarMax's website except mine had mudguards and based on timing of delivery to the dealer a $745 Destination Charge vs. the $680 on the CarMax vehicle.
If you're within a few hours of the DC area look at both of their website and visit both places...while neither of them play games with bait and switch on their price if you have a trade in, one will keep the other honest). I ended up buying at Fitz Mall, though that was only because they were my second stop. If anything I'd fault CarMax for NOT playing enough on my trade in, that probably cost them the sale as I was more comfortable with their operation overall.
Feel free to post any other questions you might have and good luck with the purchase process.
