I’m sure it could be obtained with far better conditions in CA or on the East Coast. I’m still pretty darn happy with my result considering:
Seattle Metro - Toyota doesn’t need to stress to sell here
10.6% car sales tax where I live
Seattle metro insane tabs and licence fees
I still managed to fit within 1% all included. Effective monthly: $444.86
2019 Toyota Highlander SE Nightshade Special Edition, black on black
I’m unable to reproduce the exact numbers in the calculator but the highlights are below:
MSRP: $45,213
**Selling Price: $40,700
**Monthly Payment: $442.08
**Cash Due at Signing: $542.08
**MSD:0
Agreed. Toyota of Olympia tempted me over the weekend as well with an offer on an XLE at 11-12% off MSRP. One of the better deals for the area on a 3 row SUV right now. Had I bothered to try for the same discount on an SE, I may have just gone through with it.
I was surprised as well to see that the SE was getting better deals than XLE. Limited was a total crap and than again the Platinum gets quite good ones but you likely wouldn’t fit in 1%. SE was my pick by looks regardless.
They’ll always screw you over in one way or another. It hurts on cars but lets you save a lot if you pay no tax on income and make bigger purchases over internet from places that do not collect WA sales tax (essentially anywhere but ebay and amazon). Unfortunately impossible to apply with vehicles.
