I didn't use ZAG at Atlanta Toyota as they don't participate. I just showed them the deal I was able to get at Toyota Morrow and they beat it. I was also able to negotiate a little more off of the Zag price even though the dealer act like they were losing money.
However I was told that some dealers sell at lower price if the car is sitting on the lot for good long amount of time i.e. they could be mfgd in 2010. Thats why i checked the VIN series before buying and though it sound on slightly higher side than those other deals I feel its a better buy, since I was more than impatient to take it home..
Overall so far pleased with HL, its my first SUV (upgrade from CAR to SUV), the power and feel and ease of handling is awesome...
Sandy Beach exterior
Black interior
Cargo Net
Carpet Floor/Cargo Mat Set w/3rd Row Mat
Cross Bar
$33,548 MSRP (though TrueCar and Edmunds listed the MSRP at $34,908)
Got it for:
$31,500 (not including tax, lic + reg, etc)
$34,658 (after tax, lic + reg, etc)
1.9% APR for 60 months (so no $1000 cash back)
~$519/mo
According to USnews/TrueCar, I got it at a 'great price':

Hope this helps someone!
BTW, my salesperson was awesome. I told him I didn't want to haggle, as I had just bought a car from Longo the year before and had a bad experience haggling. He told me he'd make it easy for me, and I thought he pretty much carried through on his promise.
I just received a 2011 Highlander (v6 SE AWD Automatic, tow package, running boards, carpet, cargo net, wheel locks) with MSRP of $37,424 for $32,424 before taxes and doc fees. What do you all think of this price? What should be a reasonable doc fee? I'd like to make a decision by tomorrow. Please give me your comments. Thanks.
i am also lookiing for same car limited with no navigation.
I do want leather, full power options and AWD.
I drive a lot, currently have a honda CRV that I am trading.
any ideas on how to approach this purchase.
Quote 1 : $34,513 (Options - Color upgrade , Towpackage & cargo mat)
Quote 2 : $35,000 (Options - Color upgrade , Towpackage, cargo mat & Tow hitch)
I feel these are well above invoice and can someone suggest a best offer for these? When I looked at NADAGuides, it is showing the base invoice as $30,905 (Without destination fee), but in Edmunds.com, it is showing $32,229. Which one is correct?
I gave an offer of $33,500 for the second one and they rejected and didn't give any counter offer.
Any suggestion or comment is appreciated. What is best offer for these?
2011 Limited/Nav with tow prep, wheel locks, mud flaps
Zero percent financing-- $37200-- then got $500 military rebate so final price- $36700
Live in Northern VA-- so probably the best deal. Document fees are high at $500-- in MD- could get the same car for $37450 with crosshairs ($200 doc fee)- wasn't worth the hassle for me.
It looks like the Zag price is now higher than the Truecar price, and both are lower than what I paid, so if you are looking for a no haggle low price make sure you try both Truecar and Zag.
After 2 days, signed up on the Toyota Owner web site, found out, there was a hail damage to the car. But the dealer didn't disclose to us when we test driving the car or signing the papers. Called the Toyota Customer Service, and they direct my compaint to the dealer ship. The dealer ship kind of saying, all their car had the hail damages, so they had disclose that to all the customers. Which I have no knowledge about until I sign up to the Toyota owner's web site, and the dealer claims I should have sign the papers, which they are trying to locate it. Really odd, since if I really got the disclosure information, then I would ask to check on the repair to make sure the car is really got FIXED. However, they are just trying to tell me, they told us the information, and we sign the paper and happy with it. Was feeling very happy with getting the new car, but now, it feels really bad...
I will include the dealership if things didn't get resolved properly, so everyone can avoid the same problem that I had.
They did try to correct the problem by getting someone to fix those hail damages, so there was a record showing on Toyota Owner's web site when I enter the VIN#. However, no one told us about it, and assuming we should understand we had the hail storm, so I will be expecting they leave a NEW car in the open space to get those damages and selling it to me like nothing had happend...
They just called me and said they could NOT find that document in my folder. And they just keep saying, it should be in my folder, and there might be something happend during the exchanging hands when processing of my documents. They offered me a free tank of gas to go back to the dealership to SIGN the document... Very professional way of handling my case! I just tried to call the consumer hotline of the state, but they closed today, so I will try to call them tomorrow to see what kind of steps that I can take at this stage...
the cost co buying program only provided special 2.9 finance.
there was no price difference on the car, I got a better deal at another dealer w/o the cost co car buying program
Thanks in advance
Best of luck to you all!!
Well thank goodness we finally finished the car buying process after much deliberation. We came somewhat close to choosing the Mazda CX-9.
Anyway the 2012 Highlander won us over on many levels. The deal-breaker might have been the inclusion of the Tech (and Cold-weather) Package with the 2012 Base Highlander. Not an option on the 2011 Base. We also had a 1999 Sienna for 12 years, so that probably factored in too.
We did not finance and got the e-price of $31,275.00. The e-price from our dealer made the buying experience pain-free! We even got a bit fancy and chose the Cypress Pearl color. They would have much preferred us to choose one of the many grey, silver, black or white models.
We found the edmunds.com very helpful in the process. Hope the rest of you still in the process find this posting helpful. Good luck!

$34900 before taxes and fees. We had negotiated $34000 on a very similar vehicle the dealer had on the lot but we hated the color (gold/tan), so we paid a premium to have the car brought from another dealer further away.

I still got the deal when I got them to snag one that recently made it to port, and I was able to get exact colors I wanted and accessories. Also, the accessories are jacked up about 30 percent on sticker tag as to what the dealer paid. I do not believe in paying extra for things that you do not want on your vehicle. You can do your own searches on most of the toyota distributors pages to see what will be available in the next few months on the exact models and features. I am in the southeast toyota region, so yours may vary.
My cost for a Toyota Highlander 2012 SE V6 2WD with Floor Mats and Toyota Guard was 31944 before my state taxes, tag, etc.
