MSRP w/out Laser in my area is 58 and some change - 46 OTD WoW- what was your tax etc...
Again, I don't know what tax is yet because I live in OK and you don't pay it until you register the vehicle.
$46,200 Out the Door.
Were you able to get 0 percent finance with 46.2?
I have several quotes that are close and am trying to decide which ones to work first based primarily on color for int and ext.
Let me know how you come out.
Did you even attempt to get 0 percent on your 46.5K deal - or did you know (Spidy Sense) that it was a no deal?
Too bad. I think it is a very nice SUV. It has only 80 miles. For sale for $43k.
1st time they had color/combo I wanted but vehicle had over 100 miles on it and MASSIVE shimmy over 20mph got within 1.5K on the deal but I decided I did not want to deal with a possible problem vehicle. Appears the unit was given to someone to drive/take home etc... the car was quite dirty - in fact for the condition it was in it should have had over 5K miles on it.
2nd deal - ended up about 1.6k more than I really wanted but was going to see what the final deal looked like. Got a LOWBALL for my trade (approx 1/3 of edmunds trade in value)and I walked. At this poing my ideal color combo's are pretty much not available so I'll probably wait to see what they do after Sep when the 0 percent is supposed to go away.... I look forward to seeing what they will do with all of the 08's into Sep/Oct.
Running Boards $725 (list prices)
Vehicle Shield Package $349
Carpet Mats incl 3rd row $290
XM Satellite Radio Package w/ 6 mos free subscription $449.
I live in arizona and wondering if anyone got 2008 Sequoia fully loaded all the hole nine yards. how much otd price
2008 Sequoia 2WD 5 Door SR5 SUV LARGE V8 6-Speed, Automatic
Additional Options/Accessories Include: Rear Aerodynamic Spoiler; Roof Rack; JBL Premium AM/FM/CD with In-Dash 6-Disc CD Changer with Bluetooth; Fog Lamps; Leather Faced Seats w/Driver & Passenger Seat Heaters; Power Driver Fabric Seat with 8-Way Driver's Seat Adjustment; Daytime Running Lights (DRL) with On/Off Feature; Lighted Color Keyed Running Boards; Window Tint
*Manufacturer s Suggested Retail $ 41,438.38
*Your Internet Price $ 32,533.84
This is about $500 below carsdirect and about $500 above Edmunds TMV. How does this offer sound?
If a dealer try to tell you that the supply is low now because Toyota has stopped making 08 Sequoia so they are less willing to sell at deeper discount, just move on to the another dealer. Depending on where you are, there are still TONs of Sequoia sitting on the dealer lots. Now with the employee discount program offered by GM, the Toyota dealers better get smarter as a $60K fully loaded top end Yukon Denali XL can be had for less than $47k.
Silver SR5, DJ, DR, FE, LF, PE, RL, CF, T1/PS (Window Tint and Painted stripe, whtaever the latter is), also XM radio with 6 mos subscription. Edmunds invoice for this combo is $32,962 with the following assumptions:
I added at full list price the XM (as I do not know what invoice on that option is). I took off tinting and CF as tossed in for free as Edmunds does not list prices for those either.
I added $358 for Running Boards to get to final figure (as that would have to be a dealer add-on)
I subtracted $1000 from invoice and added TTL (6.25% + $260 docs, which is generous for docs) to get walkout of $34,219 with 0%.
They put best price at 34,750 and 0%, without RB and sales manager said he would add RB at his cost of $425 (b*sh*t). I countered with $34,750, incl RB, which would have put me about $500 below invoice and they balked at it. They let me walk out over $420 and only $500 below invoice!
Frankly, I am completely and utterly disgusted with the arrogance at Toyota. This is the second dealership that has played hardball with me. Like your post says, I would rather buy a Yukon or Tahoe now just out of pure principle.
Am I off base here or are all these posts about $11-12K under MSRP or $2K under invoice with 0% only apply to people buying loaded vehicles, not base models with few upgrades? Or is Gulfstates Toyota really keeping a lid on the dealerships ability to discount?
Thanks.
Also if someone show me to a SR5 that has been purchased $2K under invoice outside Texas/LA/OK, I would appreciate it. I will deal with them.
Thanks.
Fully Loaded vs SR5 - I don't think it matters to the dealers bottom line - they have an amount into the vehicle - under invoice is under invoice - the hold-back is based on car price so there is a bit more holdback on the fully loaded.
Price – I was able to find a few deals in the 11K off MSRP and lots in the 9.5 off MSRP – but when you ask for 0 Percent the dealer only gives you the $1,000 CASH back – what ever “sales price they are currently offering”. I had to really struggle to get numbers below 1K under Invoice and get the Zero for 5 years. If they let you walk out then you know that the price you offered is too low – problem is that if they took your price then you know you over paid . $500 under invoice + Zero seems to be a bottom line at may of the dealerships I RFQ’d with.
Bottom Line – there should be LOTS LOTS LOTS of SR5/Limited units out there and I’d wait to see what Toyota does after Sep2 --- I was thinking they would need to at some point combine the 0 Percent and the 4K Off. I have been told that Toyota will not combine they will just SIT on the vehicles and force dealers to take the loss --- due to the fact Toyota has other vehicles dealers are making great margin on (Hybrid’s ) Killer deal will be if they combine the Zero financing with the 4K Off and 1K Cash.
As so far as buying a Caddy ESV and or Denali fully decked out – been there done that and IMO the Sequoia is in a different category.
I hope Toyota can increase the cash back from $1000 to at least $1500 with the 0% for the Labor Day weekend. Toyota increased the cash back to $1500 with 0% for the Fourth of July weekend (then back to $1000 after the weekend) so I hope they do the same or better for Labor Day weekend.
I personally don't need an XL, but might consider shopping the regular Yukon if Toyota doesn't start "playing ball" during this awful SUV market. I currently have an '01 Expedition with 113k miles on it which--until recently--had been the best and most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Now seeing the rust which is coming off of the undercarriage, and the number of things going wrong with it all of a sudden (despite being maintained by someone who's obsessive about cars) makes me never want another Ford. Pls keep us posted on what you decide!

Just got a quote from a dealer in Atlanta equipped similarly to the one above only difference is rear spoiler instead of running boards. They are offering $31964 with the 0% financing! :surprise: That is a decent first offer.
SR5 - 4x2 all options; nav, rear dvd, tow, etc (no XM)....$38k OTD
Limited - 4x2 all options' nav, dvd, (no tow, no XM), everything else...$40,800 OTD
Platinum-4x2 all options; available on this car (including XM radio)....$44,469 OTD
I bought the Platinum today. When showed other dealers the pricing I negotiated via email, most backed out. It took some work, but I think I saved a substantial amount.
I'm assumign the 44,469 is CASH price - Souds like you got a good deal - I went with the zero for 5 years and 4X4 but all options as well - so far so good.
What color did you get? I've heard once the venza comes out that toyota may offer $6k rebate. But its just a rumor I heard. What kind of mileage are you getting?
Then I nearly closed on a Red w/Red rock this only had 8 miles on it so I was ready to go when I got a fairly low trade in value. I think the fact that red was not my first choice - actually it was not any any of my ideal color choices but I really just wanted the red-rock and could not justify living with exterior color just to get interior that I wanted.
I ended up with a Gold/Tan interior which was at the top of my wife's list for color/int. For some reason key to me was a car with very low miles this one had 2 miles whereas the other ones I looked at had between 10 and 100. -all options were installed already but I wanted the TZ package that comes with first aid kit, cargo net, mats, cargo mat and sil protectors. Dealer installed the sil proectors but gave me a Prius cargo net --- not so much of a fit on the Sequoia so they are ordering me another one. On my first tank of gas now and getting 15.8 with 2/3's highway and 1/3 street - possibly 60 highway nad 40 street.... Have about 60 miles left to next fill.
In terms of future rebates - discounts - I really wanted to get 4 to 5 K under Invoice and the Zero percent financing... Will be interesting to see if this weekend they go to 1500 dealer cash. I would like to see the 4K off and 1K cash applied in tandum with the Zero Percent - I think they could sell a few more with this option.
Selling Sequoia to get Prius - I don't think that's happening in my area - I was told everything from Corolla's to just happy to get the V8's off the lot.
Thanks.
You will need a DL burner and DL media - you will rip your OEMDVD - it will be 7.1 version to your computer - replace an autoload file for version 5.1 and burn it. Put it in your new 08 - disconnect the black battery lead for 5 minutes - upon bootup your 08 will re-load into the nav system and you are set. To activate you touch menu, then volume- then upper left lower left upper left lower left and you will see a screen - just touch the override button until it beeps and you are good to go.
Drawbacks -
1 - you have to do this every time you turn on your car
2 - you now have to say "YES" each time the nav is booted up (IE Put key in car) to ACK the safety warning about NAV. This is very much a PITA IMO but not as much of a PITA as not being to NAV on the FLY.
Read thru the thread below - its very simple and well laid out in the thread. I was the first to do the Sequoia or I should say post back saying it works.
Enjoy.

I feel that the price may go down more especially with SR5 which dealers still have a lot. Because I wanted a fully loaded Limited AWD with 8 seats and only consider silver or black color, the number of Sequoias meet that requirement in the entire SF Bay Area was not that many. So I feel it's a good time to make the purchase before they all run out. If I'm willing to go with other colors, then I can certainly shop around more. It's quite surprising that 50% of the dealers here are still not quoting price below invoice when combining the 0%. The one I bought has been at the dealer for about 2 months so it's not extremely long; therefore, I feel the price was right. If it's on the lot for 4 to 5 months and with less popular color, I'm sure the pricing can be much lower.
Was debating between the Yukon Delani XL and Sequoia. Had GM offered 0% with the employee pricing, I might have gone with the Yukon. But with 2.9% rate vs. Sequoia's 0%, I went with Sequoia to save $4k to $5k interests.
Took out the in-laws and all the kids today for a lunch in the new Sequoia. It's great that with all 8 seats occupied, we did not need to drive two cars. The car drives great and I think it's a good decision in the end.
Good luck to everyone who's still looking for one!
Agree on all counts with the Platinum's followed by the Limited's in less supply - tons of SR5's. I also think the prices will have to come down and am surprised the did not boost the cash back over the holiday. Will be interesting to see what the next special is after Today (Sep2). I was reading back in the Sequoia forum (Jan/March) and amazed to see folks who paid sticker or close to since back then who knew that no one was going to buy these things....
Got about the same deal that you got (+had a SUV Trade) and I was quoted this price by several bay area dealers so it's probably the 'going' rate for dealers who actually need/must move these V8's off the lot. So far so good with my purchase - just filled the tank for the first time (first tank was from dealer). Gotta like costco's 3.83/gallon - will see how it fares this time with more in-town driving.
Trade-IN's - It can be tough to trade in SUV's these day's - but on a 59+K MSRP vehicle I found most willing to deal with the trade w/out any real issues. They were not willing to go to KBB's trade in value - but I got the final shop to come within 1K or so.... It was kind of funny but after the deal was closed I emptied everything out of my traded SUV - Floor Mat's - everything... I would have taken out the DVD Head Unit if I had more time :-)
It has a Torsen center differential (like most of Audi's Quattro AWD systems) which allows you to leave it in "4WD Hi" mode and still drive on dry pavement like AWD because it shifts torque from front to rear and allows some degree of slippage. If you hit some deep snow/mud, you can lock the Torsen effectively turning the system into a traditional 4WD system wherein the front and rear wheels turn at the same speed, which won't allow you to drive on dry pavement.
And what's even better is, "2WD" mode totally disengages the front wheels for better fuel mileage.
All toldl, I think it's probably about the most versatile AWD/4WD system I've run across.

What are you getting in town? Is your SR5 a 4X4?
I'm on my 2nd tank and got 15 for the first which was 70 highway/30 in town --- and now I'm at about 13MPG with new tank.
No problems so far here either -- but at only a few hundred miles on the Plat I'm not sure that's a saying anything :-)
20 Percent off MSRP + Zero for 60 is not a deal I have heard of on a Platinum (best that I can tell a few K under Invoice on Platinum and the Zero percent is top deal) - On a SR5 even today this is still a good deal. Based on the volume dealers have of SR5'S (TONS TONS) I would expect you can push it even a bit farther - say 25 maybe even 30 and ZERO if they extend the ZERO that is....
