Most popular two websites that will have this information that I know of are:
1) www.edmunds.com and 2) www.kbb.com.
I am guessing invoice on the Platinum is around $4000-5000 below MSRP.
Anyone else seen invoices on the 2008 Sequoia?
So it looks like the $2,000 below is making its way around.
I suppose if you are writing a vehicle off to your business that is doing well, a few grand is not important. For me it is not the money. It is the challenge of getting a vehicle for the very lowest price. To me all vehicles are way overpriced and do not hold their value very well. So the less I pay going in the more that is left going out. Buy low and sell high is my goal. I would not get angry if someone paid $50k for a painting that is only worth $20k. Especially if I was selling them the painting. I don't have any statistics. I would imagine more than half the people shopping for a vehicle just pay what is on the Mulroney sticker and not haggle over price. The last 4 new vehicles I have bought, all the deals were done via email. I don't sit in a cubicle and dicker any longer. Email me your best price. If you are lowest you get my business. If you do not hear from me your price was too high. Don't call me I will call you.
My latest purchase a 2007 Sequoia limited 4X4 loaded, $4000 under invoice. For those that do not care to haggle over price, someone has to pay for those big fancy showrooms. If I had paid MSRP and needed to trade it in. I would be looking at a $16K loss after 2 months.
Is anyone else interested in purchasing the new seq for the purpose of towing heaver weights than the previous seq.???
I got everything I wanted: Slate Grey, Platinum, fully loaded, $3K off retail, and a bike rack at dealer cost....
WHEW, thank goodness.... I get my tax writeoff and a reasonable deal... AMEN!!!
Then why do you care that I stated the vehicle is overpriced? You obviously have the money to blow on it.
This again justifies that a sales person would like to see you walk through their door. That doesn't make me feel good at all. It simply legitimizes the price they are asking and makes it more complex for others on this board to "nickel and dime" their way to a fair price.
The towing I suppose is great, like the Suburban. Luckily I dock in both places I live so I don't have to worry about that aspect .
As for the $50K painting, is it ugly? Is it an original or a reproduction? if not I'd be be pretty angry you are correct.
Seq, the power and ride is unbelievable (better than the so-called "luxury SUV's"),
What facts do you have to support this?? Just kidding...
They didn't even know they had it coming to them and called me back surprised it was just what I asked for... It is due in by Dec 20th.
Anyway, After going over all the color choices, my first was Slate. It comes with a graphite interior I believe. I think there are at least a couple 'greys' for interior. In any case, I've seen the Slate color on other Toyotas and I like it a lot... Its like a dark grey metallic color with a hint of dark blue. I think it looks as nice as the black, if not more interesting, and not as high maintainance as the black.
My second choice would have been Black/Tan followed by Black Black/Black and then Black/Graphite.
In any case, I'm very happy with how things turned out. I though the sand mica/tan had no contrast, but I probably would have picked that after all of the above... The rest I didn't really like. the light silver seemed like an unpainted aluminum airplane. The red and blue are colorful, but blah... There is a green but whatever...
It depends if you want to maintain a repeat customer. I agree if the person just walks off the street. I just bought a Sequoia from Toyota, a car company I really detest. Why? Because the GMC dealer tried lowballing me on a trade-in for a Denali. He gave me a good deal on the first truck I bought. That does not mean he can stick it to me on the next purchase. It don't work that way with me.
Rear seat ent. $1336 dealer, $1670 retail.
Cold Kit (windshield wiper deicer, heavy duty battery) $80 $100
Laser Cruise $480 $600
Daytime lights $32 $40
Preferred Access $220 $328
Wireless headphones (pair) $66 $82
Remote Start $380 $529
Those options are what is on my sticker. There may be more options available but I think this is fully loaded. Also my sticker claims bench seats and not Captain's chairs. My hunch is this is a typo but maybe it will come with bench seats as it says. Either the sticker is wrong or the initial specs put out were wrong. But we have seen lots of goofs from Toyota on the release of this. They actually released 2007 model photos to the press and the press ran with them and show the 2007 car in their 2008 articles.
What is Preferred Access and are the Headlight Cleaners included in the Cold Kit? Anyone got the Sunshades option?
so valentine one sounds like the best available? I need to get one then, especiallyfor when I get that new M3 convertible (hard top, end of this year).
They say the Bel is better.
The one thing I like about V1 is they upgrade for free, just the shipping charges. Like the small roadside trailers showing speed mentioned in the testing, this is POP radar and mine too was not seeing it, so I sent it in and upgraded for free.
Like cars and options, people have their own preferences about radar detectors. For example, Healthnut drives a M3 and I have a 911. Both great cars, just different preferences.....
The last week or so Phoenix dealerships have been saying that the Sequoia will be arriving any time between Dec 13th to 17th. Today it was announced that the regional office will not release the Sequoia until Dec. 21st stating that this way all of the dealerships could show it at the same time.
We have waited long enough to see the Sequoia it should be released immediately.
One thing I noticed is the option for headrest DVDs. I wish you could get the overhead as well, but the configurator says they're not available together. With all three, you could keep everyone happy....
It's weird, the link took me to a Limited model, then I went to the models tab and chose the Platinum 4x4.
Remote Start
Preferred Access
Wireless Headphones
Sunshades
I need to check the cargo space with 3rd row seat up.
I will replace my '02 Odyssey with the new Sequoia.
I got 4 kids and they are growing .........
Hope the new Sequoia got enough cargo space. THX !
He also said the wireless headphones come with the DVD remote, $655.
I guess it's going to take a while before Toyota, the web sites and the dealers are in sync.....
There are now two spoilers the "Rear Aerodynamic" ($449) and the just plain "Rear Spoiler" ($100), is there a picture of these anywhere?
And is the Stone Leather interior gray or tan or some other color?
