This will be my 6th car purchased over the phone or via internet.
I am in Houston, Texas. Parents have two avalons 2006 & 2007 - would I qualify for the 2year free incentive program that toyota is giving away (the release said household)?
What price should I stay firm at when I call dealers with my bid/price?
Edmunds shows MSRP 37,840 and invoice 34,093.
I would put approx 10% down and finance through Toyota Motor Corp for 0% @ 60 months. Have Excellent credit score.
Thanks all,
dlp
are you looking for 33,800+TTL for this deal?
We did have a trade. I had it appraised by two dealers and my auto broker buddy ran the latest Manheim Auctions for reference as well so I felt we got an OK price on the trade.
Papers are signed, and I can't wait for the call to come to say the car is on the lot for pick-up.

Thanks for all the useful information you have posted here. Below is the deal I was able to close today.
Model: Toyota Highlander SE AWD Silver MSRP: 34,730
Price: $30,513.46 PLUS, TAX, TAGS, AND $100 MD PROCESSING FEE.
Paid 880$ for Bumper to Bumper extended warranty 5 year,60K. (I might cancel this)
I drove all the way from NJ to MD. The dealer was surprisingly helpful and had the deal closed in 3hrs. Love the new car. :shades:
Decent? I Figure now is as good a time as any for this vehicle which we have had our eye on almost a year.
$43,800 before taxes.
0% 60 months financing.
I'm trying to get a similar deal, where in MD did you get this price for the SE AWD $30,513.46, I'm also from NJ and I would not mind traveling to MD.
Thanks,

curious as to how you end up with such a good deal on the 0% interest rate for the hybrid. i don't recall toyota has any promotion for the highlander hybrid at 0% for 60 months. its only for the gas version. what area are you in? if you don't mind.
thanks
Anyway figure its a good double whammy with invoice or close to it and 0%. If i dont pull the trigger now probablly never will.
Can someone who bought recently describe me how the 2 year incentive works. I didn't get enough details as it was very late yesterday. I am qualified for it as I own 4runner.
Package #8
Rear Seat DVD entertainment system
Color Keyed Rear Spoiler
V6 towing prep package

Is this lowest? or is there better out there? Comments please.
I'm going to be buying either a 4x2 or 4x4 limited 2010 silver w/ ash interior at end of March in Texas w/ pkg8, rear spoiler, tow prep, and carpet mats, want to pay 34-35.5k depending on 4x2 or 4x4.

Bought a 2010 4x4 SE last night.
Silver exterior with black leather interior.
MSRP: 35,234
Paid: $31,200 + TTL
Had been looking for an 08/09 used Highlander for months (liked the newer body style and particularly the interior style much better than the older model) and could not find right features/price. When the 0% hit, moved pretty quickly to the new 2010s.
For those still out looking, good luck. No groundbreaking advice here, but once you settle on the model you want and get a quote from a dealer, make a few phone calls to other dealers around town and ask if they can beat the price. It did not take much time and you can get a good idea where the dealers are willing to go on price. Saved me almost $1,000.
Thanks
Do you guys think this is a fair price? I was somewhat surprised that the dealers were unwilling to negotiate much, even with Toyota's rep taking a beating everyday. Any thoughts?
If you went with the 0% for 60 months financing then you got a good deal. If you paid cash, then not a good deal. 29k would produce $3500-4500 in interest at 2.5% to 3.0% interest in a 5 year FDIC insured CD.
I would like to know whether the price was right. We bought this at invoice price.
I got this last weekend. I got this with carpet mats included.
All of these have rear spoiler and mats.
Hope this helps. Best deals I've found are Maryland and Virginia areas.
If you respond with the sales person name or send email to happysam66gmailcom, that would be great.
2010 Highlander Limited AWD
Blizzard Pearl/Beige
Extra Value Package #8 (w/Nav)
Sport-Styled Rear Spoiler
V6 Towing Prep Package
Cross Bars
Carpet/Cargo Mat
MSRP: $40,014
Price Paid: $35,630 + TTL
0% APR for 60 months
Car was purchased in MD. I spoke to countless dealerships around the MD/VA/DC area. Most wanted $36.2K-$37.9K for the same exact vehicle. Blizzard Pearl Limited with EVP8 are in high demand in this area so not many wanted to negotiate on price. The ones that were on the lot were either spoken for or sold within a week. I lucked out and contacted a dealership with a similar car on hand just with a different interior. I threw out $35.5K and they accepted within a 10 min phone conversation. Since they didn't have the beige interior, they did a dealership trade in PA and the car had one additional option so it bumped the price up a tad. I was a bit surprise their willingness since this was basically a no profit sales for them which had me nervous of a bait and switch. Turns out everything worked out smoothly and we got the exact vehicle we were looking for down to the VIN number. This Highlander has a JT VIN which was a plus since it wasn't affected by the recall.
Thanks to all the other people who shared their purchases. This allowed us to get a better idea of what's possible in terms of pricing so hopefully our experience will help someone else.
Can you please respond asap. I contacted this dealer and they quoted 31399 for FWD not AWD. Can you please email me happysam66atgmail.com
Thanks
We went with beige since the interior for the non-Hybrid Limited comes with darker wood trim. Ash with the darker trim looks out of place. I do like the Hybrid lighter trim but that's not an option.
