  Hey! What's the MSRP? Don't go too crazy with the options...you can buy these options online for cheaper and install them yourself such as carpet mats, splashguards, cross bar, body side molding, etc. 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) http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/toyota+lexus+scion+2011+prices.htm Good luck!!

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! :)

  The HL & RX hybrid designs are more about outstanding 0-60 times vs FE. Also, the Toyota HSD system does not do well for FE unless the majority of the time is city stop and go traffic. Personally I'm looking forward to the 2012 Ford Escape hybrid. If you live in the snow zone a base FWD vehicle, the HL, is a fairly unsafe choice.
