SE comes standard with leather, I didn't get any options except for floor mats. Go build one on Toyota.com or check out the link below. Same car, same dealership, different color.

Told them we'd seen prices of $32.5k OTD and $29.6k pre-tax, etc... and I wanted to see where that would get us. Mind you I didn't just bring this up... this was after a test drive and after a few forms, photo copying our IDs, etc... so they knew we were serious to buy on the spot.
The manager came back to me (skipping over the sales guy), and basically laughed in my face and said that they could only sell it to us tonight at $1k under sticker price! WOW... needless to say we walked away.
i thought i would have some luck offering the $29K OTD for a "demo" which had 500+ miles b/c the manager used it as a daily driver. again i got laughed at when i told them i'm not going to pay $31K for a used car. bah! i need to move to the midwest, deals in socal are nowhere to be found.
In general, dealerships are quoting more than $1500 as compared to your deal.
I don't understand how my dealer in MA can sell me the car for $29.6k but is CA they are trying to get $32k+. If they are that stingy about the price, I have to assume they are going to work you hard on trade values, too. I wonder which dealership is more profitable?
I was very happy with the car I had but the incentives and price I got were too good to pass up!
They quoted me SE price which is over $31K and they are saying that it is impossible to sell at $29.6K (your price).
They are asking exact information like name of person who bought the care, when did he bought and who was the sale person etc?
My email is nanwar786@gmail.com
They ask for that information, because they know you can't get it... and, in the unlikely event that you do get it, they'll have some other reason that they can't sell it to you, for that price...
Just tell them the price that you want... and, if they won't do it, tell them you are going somewhere else..
As friendly as we all are, here... no one is likely to give you their personal information..

It is now almost impossible to find a Highlander in stock and even if there is one, it is way way overpriced.
I am coming to the conclusion that perhaps it not worth at this time to pursue it any further.
The only thing I'm worrying about is that they may keep the incentives on a lot of cars, but since the Highlander has very low stock, they may not continue it on this particular vehicle.
I found a AWD, we're going to go look at it in the next hour... may have to pull the trigger even though it's not FWD or the exact color we want.

2010 Toyota Highlander SE AWD
Magnetic grey exterior with black leather interior
Sticker: $35,005
Price paid: $32,419 + TTL
0% financing for 60 months
Thinking about adding mudguards, running boards, and nave system that looks and feels like the factory nav.
were the 32,200 before or after TTL? I"m getting a deal today for 30,000 for an SE AWD before TTL in Northen, NJ.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

These are times when inventory gets squeezed intentionally, sales people will pressure you to rush you on to your decision. Same thing you see with real estate also. Buy now ! buy now! there is no inventory!
Dealers have totally forgotten that jury is still out on the accelerator issue and reason behind 0% for 60 months.
BTW: My current 2003 Hghlander I had also purchased at 0% financing which was good for 36 months.

New 2010 Highlander - 0.0%/36 1.9%/48 2.9%/60 Months APR
They did not return my call over the weekend and now the lease special has expired. Due to the deposit and signed buyer's order which clearly indicates final monthly payment price, do they need to honor? Or should I say, "should" they honor? Or do I need to get my deposit back and get a Honda Pilot?
Instead, he found us a Blizzard Pearl, with Grey Interior and EVP #8. I don't feel like I got the best deal for this, but considering he had to do a trade and ordered it in freight (we should be receiving it within 2 weeks) we will be driving it off the lot with less than 15 miles on it easily. I figured the price was fair. We literally signed the purchase documents on April 5th which was the last day to take advantage of the offer. This is what I got and paid for this vehicle:
2010 Highlander Limited 2x4 (NEW)
FE PC QI RF TO CT
EVP#8 (Navigation, Bluetooth, JBL, Multi-Staged Heated Seating, Moonroof)
Blizzard White
Rear Spoiler
Grey Interior
Tow Package
Cargo Mats
MSRP $38,335.00
Invoice $35,038.04
Price I paid: $36,335.00 (so just $2k off the MSRP).
Not the greatest deal, but I had contacted other dealerships in S.Cal and they wanted closer to MSRP for this vehicle, and could probably sell it at a higher price because of the demand. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the purchase though I have not seen the vehicle yet.
The dealership offered a Platinum package coverage which would extend my new vehicle to 7 years/100k miles, but it adds $2k extra to my payments. Has anyone purchased this particular coverage and gotten a better deal with their Highlander Limited with Nav? We'll probably buy it cause if the Navigation fails, it is a very pricey item for them to fix without the insurance.
if the deal went through, you made a great buy. please advise.
MSRP $35,234
Purchase price $32,000 + $500 gap insurance = $32,500 OTD
Fletcher Toyota, Joplin Missouri - Internet Manager Dan Clark
I did my homework and I think I got a pretty sweet deal! The best advise I can give anyone is to deal with the internet sales dept. Theres a great article on Edmunds Buying Tips, "Internet vs. Traditional Car Buying".
First I called the internet department Midwest Toyota in Hutchinson Kansas asking them to email me some info on the car. I recieved specs on the car and the email read.. "I am going to just be right up front with you, this is the only way we do business! I own this Highlander for $32,192, I would sell it to you for $32,692. That is an even $500 over!", additional $795 for gap insurance. I never responded back. I hope an employee can get a better deal, and I bet he doesn't even have the exact car!! Horrible sales pitch.
Then, I called Dan at Fletcher Toyota, he emailed me the specs along with an offer. $32,642 plus $695 gap ins, $33,337 OTD.
Last, I called to Molle Toyota in Kansas City MO, and the salesman said $32,000, $500 for gap ins. Great price, but main issue was Kansas City is 5 hours from Oklahoma City.
I called Dan back and he was able to match the offer. Fortunately, Joplin MO is ony 3.5 hours from OkC.
It wasn't as simple as it seems. There was alot of phone calls and emails throughout the week, but these are the main points.
Initially, I contacted the dealers on Sat March 20th and we purchased the car a week later Sat Mar 27th at 0%. I got some great advise from contacts at local dealerships. One sales manager said if I could get the car for under $33k he'd be surprised, since Black/Black leather AWD is rare, and when they're avail, ppl most likely buy at sticker price. Also, most dealers weren't negotiating because there was no money to be made with the 0% offer.
Out!!
The deal did not work, after I showed up to, the dealer said that they did not have any more SE in stock.
thanks,
duvalu
After reading the posts the past few weeks, I am ecstatic that I grabbed the SE for about $5,500 off the sticker. Probably got such a good deal because they will retail my trade on their lot (I got full blue book but they will sell as a certified preowned so it was a win/win for both sides).
Hope the number of cars in Cali picks up so you guys can get yours soon!
2010 Highlander SE 4x2 Sandy Beige and Beige interior for 34,500 OTD.
0% for 60 months.
Is this a good price?
Also, I'm convinced that there must be some hidden dealer incentives across other parts of the country, because when I brought up prices that others were getting on this forum, i got laughed at... and this is from the salesman who just gives me pretty straight low offers without negotiation because our family and friends buy so many cars from him.
I'm pretty happy with my purchase...now I'm looking into a few mods for my car... Starting with the simple stuff like brighter headlights (not HID), manlier horn, mudguards, etc.
