MSRP (Sticker) was $35,207 for my 4WD Sport with Cold Weather package, Homelink, Anti Theft Alarm, Front Dual Zone with Auto Rear air conditioner (tri-zone), Tow Prep Package, Cross Bars, Running boards, and Factory Tow Hitch (the only one anywhere in New England that I could find). I paid $31,400 (actually there was also a $550 discount also, so really paid $30,850) and they also threw in mud flaps and installed them. This was just a tad below their invoice (salesman was a client of mine and made the deal happen).
I opted for the Sport cloth seats since I cover the rear seats anyway (kids) and it brought the price down, no nav or rear dvd since I have a dash mounted Streetpilot 2610 (easier to see while driving than looking down at the factory nav not to mention saving $$$), and I have mounted a a Panasonic portable DVD to the center console for the rear seat passengers (only $150 and we can mount in wife's Camry and Mom and Dad can control DVD player, change discs, etc).

We had a similar equiped HL and paid right at that price. TMV was higher in my area.
Wait TMV changes from area to area. Sorry if i sound stupid but i wasnt aware of
that...
EDIT: the toyota salesmen still hasnt called us back. I guess he thought our offer was too little for him, i mean it was still 2K over the TMV price. He asked 3500 and we treid to bargain 33 to buy the car right then and there. Does anyone else think it was unprofessional to not even call us back at all..?
October Purchase Price not including taxes: $35,700
Limited AWD/Moonroof/3rd Row Seats/Tow Prep/Auto Lift Gate/Auto AC Front & Rear/JBL Sound/Sport Spoiler/Auto Start/Cold Weather Package/Mats.
From just a mathmatical approach the Limited was the way to go in terms of $.
While the Sport adds stiffer shocks and sway bars...I wanted the stock goodies of the limited.

Reason: We live in America..lol
Yes, I live in the midwest and our TMV is normally higher than anything in larger areas where there are multiple Toyota dealers. My town has 1 dealer.

Lol... I got leather (Ash)....I just assumed the Limited came with it as standard equip. My Bad......The only op. I'm missing is the NAV and DVD.
I could only get the NAV with the bundled DVD Entertainment, and I just couldn't bring myself to drop the extra $ for the whole package when all I wanted was the NAV...So I'm waiting for the NUVI 750 to hit the E-Retailers..
I know its not the same..but hey.. I had to draw the line somewhere

Reason: Poor Engrish
uuggghhh.....the decision needs to be made soon i'm tired of driving a minivan. Hopefully Northshore Toyota will work something out. Should we call and negotiate instead??

I say go back and wear them out, try to find a compromise...I just purchased mine from a close relative, got a good deal of course but its the kind of car that is too enticing to just pass by
Just purchased a 4WD Sport that stickered for $35,024 with an invoice of $31,362. I got it for $30,478 ($884 under invoice).
What options, accessories, etc??? Where did you get it? I am in MA also.

I was actually looking for the factory hitch, but there were none to be found. The dealer quoted me $800 for the hitch, wiring, and install...and said that was their cost. That seems crazy! I just ordered a Draw-Tite hitch and wiring and will install myself...for $200. I know it is not as clean a look, but the price is right.
It looks like you got the same vehicle I did, except I got factory running boards and tow hitch, and you got the moonroof. I am having the moonroof factory installed hopefully next week. Where did you buy yours?

Would be interesting to find out if the dealer was installing the Toyota Factory hitch (what you would assume). The dealer I asked the question to said they use an after market hitch.
Internet prices for the Toyota setup run around $374 from Toyota of Nashua in New Hampshire.
EH - Cold Weather Package, LA - Leather Seat Package, NV - Navigation System with Voice Activation and JBL AM/FM 4-Disc In Dash CD Changer with Hands-Free Phone Capability, PB - Power Rear Door, QC - Front Auto Dual Zone Climate Control, QR - Auto Rear Air Conditioning System, SR - Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof, TO - Tow Prep Package, and CT - Carpet/Cargo Mat.

My dealer was definitely going to install the Toyota Factory Hitch. They quoted $420 for the hitch, $120 for the wiring and ~ 3 hours of labor...so $800.
I purchased a Draw Tite from eTrailer for $145...no shipping or tax. I then purchased the wiring from Toyota of Nashua online for $93. I'll do the install myself. I did this on my Nissan Murano a few years back. It was about an hour for the wiring and an hour for the hitch.
