How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Highlander
Question From Charles: What is the bottom line that I should pay for a Toyota Highlander 2009 4 cylinder FWD with the third row seat.
Queen of the Road: Hi Charles. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
Just keep in mind that the price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the car you’re looking at. If you see a one online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll figure out a Selling Price.
In the meantime, below is an example of a deal being offered. If you’d like to see the complete list of deals, you can find them on www.AutoBrag.com.
According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2009 Highlander,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 10.87%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 14.99%
If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.
How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y
Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees
X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP
Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)
Consumer Cash Incentives: A Cash Back Rebate of $400 is being offered to the new car Consumer upon purchase. $400 Military Bonus Cash is available to customers with current active duty status in the U.S. Military (Navy, Army, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, or active Reserve). Please see your dealer for details. Offer Expires: 3/31/2010
Before you begin calling or visiting every dealership, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.
Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process.
Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
