I am interested in finding out more about your car. Does it have a moonroof, leather seats-color? , V6, power back door, AWD or FWD. Been in any accidents or fender benders? Is it a limited or sport? How can I contact you?
We will be coming through Atlanta on Tues. If it has these items we are interested.Don't have to buy it that day-have time but want to see it if it has the things we want and price is right.

It's never been wrecked, does have leather seats, doesn't have power rear door.
dcteach, I'm closer to Chattanooga than Atlanta, but am right off I-75.
$33,772 - $1260 = 32,512
PLUS: $595 "doc/admin fees" (criminal!) and Tax/Title
Any "freebies" I should ask for before I sign? Mudflaps? I've already paid $300 for floor mats... An extra key? BTW, how many keys do you get with a new car? It's been nearly 20 years since my LAST new car...
Appreciate your help
Appreciate feedback on this. I think it sounds like too much.
He said the dealer said the car was MSRP: 31,100. Total value of the car on his lease agreement shows: $30,823

Trade in of a 2000 Doge mini Van= (kelly blue book value of $752 for fair- $1225 for good condition and $1500 for excellent condition. The minivan did not qualify for cash for clunkers.I would rate the van to be in fair condition.
Made the purchase in Mass if that matters.
Thanks.

21.5K looks like a good deal.I am planning to buy exactly the same model. Would you please provide the dealer name in MASS. I appreciate your help.
I plan to purchase the car this month...if somebody of you has made a deal after CARS program started let me know...I don't have any vehicle to trade in...Thanks
Internet quotes for Base 4x4 V6 were infact $1500 - 2000 less than current 'sale price' before CARS started..
I am looking for a car too in Milwaukee/Chicagoland area...I think if we wait some time...2010 models will be on sale in Early October and once this program is over...dealers will be sitting with lot of new & old models (hopefully restocked by then) and they'll be forced to give a good deal!
Meanwhile if you know a dealer who is giving a good price these days let me know.

So, 31425.5 out the door.
I used the USAA Buying Service, which basically gave me a quote for $75 over invoice at a particular dealer. I went to another dealer who said they wouldn't touch the price due to the way the Highlander has been selling. So I drove the 75 miles to the dealer with the quote. I actually went for the Limited, but they sold the one earlier in the day, and I settled for the above Sport. The Dealer's internet price on this car is $36087.
It is a V6 4WD with third row seating.
Is this a good price or am I better off with a new one?
I just have to ask: where did you get the deal? Did you use a car buying service and a pre=negotiated price? Did you have to wait for the vehicle?
My experience was an absolute nightmare, even with a buying service. And I got the last Limited Highlander in before the end of the clunker program. I'm interested if my experience was dealer specific, or just the artificial "buyers market" created when Toyota cut back on production several months back...
Any advice?.thanks in advance.

I think we got a good deal, any feedback would be most welcome and hope this helps anyone in the market for a similar car.
Good luck.
Another quick question, for those who own this vehicle, how has the thrid row seat worked out? I am surprised at how tight that space is and how little cargo space is left when the third row is up.
Thanks!
I think we had a couple things going for us. First I think the dealers want to get rid of the 09s to make way for the 10s. Second it was the end of the month and they said we had to do it by the 31st so they apply it to their August sales figures. Last, Boch Toyota is the largest dealer in New England and very high volume so I think you can get a good price there since they can afford a smaller per unit cost in order to keep volume sales high.
In addition to my second post I forgot to mention that we did not get the $1000 rebate. That was only available if one bought a hybrid. I know there are some regional incentives but none in New England. Second we initially were quoted 28,500 and left because that was too high. Had a message waiting from the sales manager when we got home that "his boss had approved the 27k." Went the next morning and closed the deal.
As far as the third row seating/space, keep in mind that the HL is pretty much the shortest length of all the mid size SUV's, which is one reason I bought it. For more generous third row and rear space, you should consider the Honda Pilot, the Mazda CX9 (both of which I looked at) or better yet the GM mid size models.
Of course, the yearly "average" depreciation drops the longer you keep it.
I guess you didn't have any trade ins.
