Thanks again for your feedback. Much appreciated.
I'm buying a HL Ltd AWD V6 w/o Nav in Chicagoland, but need some great advise out there. Been looking at Mag Gray color w/Tow Pkg ($220),JBL($650),and Mats($315). Been dealing with a lot of dealers via internet. Prices for OTD TTL and all; w/no accessories are ranging from $37,400 and up close to 40k.
I have a trade in, but haven't mentioned that to anyone yet. Plan on going into dealers tomorrow night for the fun process. Does this sound ok? or am I being had?
Appreciate any feedback;esp from Chicagoland buyers.
Thx!
MSRP $40,340 / INVOICE $36,701.60

Additional option we wanted was the REMOTE START.
We were told it would be $795, but we were able to get it for $595. Not sure if we really scored on that item..but overall, our purchase price came to:
$36,500 including all options Before taxes.
Trade-in (2008 Honda Accord EX-L) dealer gave us $17,500.
NY state taxes = $1638.75, $75 fee for processing registration/title, $12.50 tire tax, $69 license & title.
FINAL COST = $38,305.25
Took advantage of the 1.9% 60 months financing that TOYOTA is offering this month!
Approx $510 per month.
Hope this helps someone else deciding what is fair price! We did our homework and I think it paid off!
Base MSRP $35,698
Tint And Nitogen $399
Side Molding $195
Total MSRP $36,295
Salesman price (includes the $1000 rebate) $33.025 + TT&L
I am not sure if this is a good price or should I be able to get it even lower?
I hate car shopping so I am not very good at negotiating. Any help or advice would be great.
I think if I could get that for 31000 plus tt I will get it
I'm considering buying a 2011 Highlander SE V6 4WD w/nav in the NYC area. Not opposed to going to NJ or Long Island for a good deal. Does anyone have any experiences they can share? ie dealership, price, options, etc?
Thanks
Contact their internet manager Mike O., he should be able to quote you on a good deal. They're a fair dealer compared to others, also try to have them waive the $374 doc fee. Good Luck!
Any thoughts? I think it is kinda over priced...
A local dealer quoted me for $34,500 for the same, do you think I can bargain with them down to $33k - 33.5k?
Any help or advice would be great.
Did I make a good deal?

We are in VA and in the market for a 2011 Highlander 4WD SE 6cyl. We test drove it and it was really a great ride. It is the 'basic' SE, so no NAV system
I know the 0% financing or $750 rebate offer expires today but we are not worried about that.. just want to do the full research before purchasing (thanks edmunds forum people for all your advice in this matter!!!). I recd. the following internet quotes (obviously TTL not included). What are your thoughts?
Dealer 1 : $33181
Dealer 2 : $32266
Dealer 3 : $32149
Dealer 4 : $32729
is this a good price? I am not sure if they add additional processing/doc/transport fees to this price. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all these dealers calling today. Ugh.
Thanks much for any advice on how to go forward.
Also, on May 2011, Toyota is increasing their vehicle prices from 1.2 to 2.2 percent off MSRP.
2011 Highlander 4WD SE
current MSRP $34750
May 2011 MSRP $35300 (1.6% increase)

Good luck!!
What price is good for Dallas, Texas area?
Nautical Blue and Ash leather interior. SmartKey push button ignition (cool).
MSRP was 40,720
I paid 36,150
I went to Carmax in Laurel MD.
Extra options that were on the sticker:
Window Tint
Carpet Mats
Toyo Guard
Driving it about 35miles I was hitting about 26-27mpg according the car information dash and the drive was very smooth and quiet, unlike what a previous poster had mentioned...took the exact car I was going to buy for a test drive before purchasing also.
Tech package
Cold Weather package
Tow package
After toke 500 rebate, it's $29,000 + TTL Decide not to go with extended warranty for now. Will pick up car Monday at Wellesley, very smooth and pleasant experience so far.
What options package did you get? Did you get Leather/Heated Seat with this?
Looking to buy this in Cleveland soon.
Then I do a used car search to see if I can save some money buying used, and I see some used ones listed for $35k to $37k.
Why are the used cars more expensive the the TMV price on a new one?
Here is what I found out.
For new car, MSRP is 99% fixed across nation. So when we shop, we try to look at invoice, rebate... so pretty much most people will able to get into a new car at the same price range (without tax, other fee).
For used car, price can be set to whatever the dealer want to set (often they set it high and expect to lower to get the deal). If you read auto articles, they keep saying "even a new car, as soon as you drive off the lot, it lost value", well, just like you mentioned, we didn't see value dropped.
In fact, if you do a search, even KBB suggested most car lost MORE than 50% value over 5 yrs. And yet, if you use KBB to get pricing, good luck finding a 5 yrs car has less then 50% value (especially for Japanese SUV or Minivan).
My suggestion is to skip the 1-3 yrs old used car because it didn't provide enough value. Buy new only cost a few thousand dollars more. Don't waste money buying "expensive" used car. Buy used only if you see GOOD value
You really not going to save much by buying a couple years old used car especially if you plan to keep your car for long.
All of the Highlanders have the tow package + crossbars + floor mats. I am getting a quote of $34,181. I called four dealerships and the range was $34,181- $34,589.
There are no incentives this month for the Highlander. The dealers said they would give me whatever incentive there was in June, if there was one. Is there anyway to find out what the incentive will be. A lower interest rate would be nice.
Thanks for the help
I would prefer to buy a new vehicle given there's not much savings on used.
However, Toyota isn't allowed to sell new vehicles to Canadians.
When our dollar was at 60cents, Americans used to buy snow mobiles from up here and screw over the American dealers.
Now that the dollar is a par, I'm not sure why Canadian dealers are getting protection from Toyota. Hypocrites.
So much for free trade.
paid 32,600+TTL...Traded in my wifes Yaris 2010 for 13300, which we bought an year ago for $13700. I think we got a great deal on trade in and the SE
you should able to get around $500 under invoice. YES, most SE already comes with the packages you mentioned. My suggestion is just try to price a based SE without any package and 90% of the time you will get it for "free" However, if you start quoting with the packages, the sale guys know you "want" them and will start saying "you have to pay for it", tell them no package at the beginning.
Yes Leather and Heated Seats are standard on Highlander SE.
Take Care
Only options included were Gulf States Toyota add ons:
Floor Mats
JBL 6 CD changer (who uses CD's anymore?)
Tow Prep Package
Vehicle Shield Package (did i really have to pay for the fabric coating on a leather interior)
no nav no dvd
Finding an AWD Highlander in Texas was a real pain. I didn't like having to pay for the Gulf States Toyota options. Prices in Texas seemed higher than other areas.
