$17.6 is alright since you say its in excellent condition. You should still try and bargain it down no matter what. Doesn’t hurt to try! Have you checked the Carfax on it? You can bring a mechanic for a brief inspection to determine if there’s anything wrong with it.

Question From Alie: Hi again,

Okay, that’s plenty for now, THANK YOU!

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Alie. Welcome back to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you. Do you know if the Highlander is 2WD or 4WD? It is the base model or the Limited? Below are the prices for the base 2WD. That would be the cheapest 2006 Highlander Hybrid.

For a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with 28,000 miles (Average), prices range from $24,000 (being in above average condition) to $21,600 (being in average condition) and $19,300 (being in below average condition).

If the car is in above average condition, you should buy this car. It is a good deal and you will save some money on gas. You probably won’t have many problems driving this car for five years. You will never go wrong buying a Toyota or Honda (Acura); these two makes are well known for making good reliable cars.

Question From Jan: I’m in search of a Toyota Highlander Hybrid in Blizzard Pearl.  My only preferences are tan leather interior, and a 3rd row.  I’m not interested in any other added options.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Jan. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

The Toyota Highlander is one of the best options with the prices for gas being close to $4.00 per gallon. If you still need an SUV and are worried about gas, buying a car with a new technology sometimes is scary, but you can’t go wrong with the Japanese engineers.

Thank you so much.

Queen of the Road: Hello there! Welcome to our blog! Let’s pull up some numbers and save you some money!

Is the 2007 Accord a Coupe or a Sedan?

For a 2006 Toyota Camry 4C XLE with 18,560 miles, prices range from $15,200 (being in above average condition) to $14,200 (being in average condition) and $13,200 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14,700 to $16,900. That dealer’s shooting for the stars. $20,000 is a huge rip off. Please don’t pay $20k for that car.

For a 2006 Honda Accord V6 EX-L w/ Navi. with 6,900 miles, prices range from $18,300 (being in above average condition) to $17,900 (being in average condition) and $17,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $19,200 to $20,200. $24.9 is another ridiculous price. Are all these prices coming from the same dealership? 

Talk those prices down as much as possible or walk away because those prices aren’t good enough. It’s too bad that some people will buy those cars at those crazy prices and never have a clue if they got a deal or not. If you find another deal, run it through one of us and we’ll make sure you a decent price. Best of luck!

Queen of the Road: Hi Nygus! Let’s see what we’ve got here…

For a 2006 Toyota Matrix 2WD XR with 12,900 miles, wholesale prices range from $15,200 (being in above average condition) to $14,000 (being in average condition) and $12,800 (being in below average.

A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $14,150 to $16,900.

So your upper limit (or should I say “the higher range“) that you might end up paying is in $15- $15.5. Has that dealer (the one taking you to the auction) shown you a “condition report”? I highly recommend that you spend a little money on a “post inspection fee”. This is conducted after the purchase. It ranges from $80 to $200 and can cover a detailed inspection of the car. If you find something wrong and you had an inpection done, you have every right to return it.

Best of luck on your purchase. If you have any questions about it, we’re right here waiting for you.
