Hey everyone, I just wanted to follow up with what I’ve learned.
Firstly, after posting here I took to the ol’ GOOGLE search and found on ToyotaFinancial.com they advertise MSD’s. There are 4 dealerships in Vegas, the one with the “Costco Discount” was the one who wouldn’t budge. I contacted 2 others, both salesmen I had established rapport with actually put me on hold and spoke to the finance manager, and said they would do it. Unfortunately, both of those dealerships had a total of maybe 7-10 highlanders on their lot, so they would absolutely not budge from the MSRP
I showed them the price sheet from the other dealer and they straight up told me, “come back when the lot is full of cars and we’ll have a deal for you”
It’s quite unfortunate…I was really hoping to get a highlander by this summer for all our road trips. Oh well. We’ll see how the market plays out in the next few months…
I’m quite jealous of the other gentleman who nailed a 9.5% discount off MSRP and got $1000 cash back on top of that. I guess April was the time to move on new cars, I’m just a day late and a dollar short as always haha
For reference - the post that convinced me I wanted to lease my next vehicle, and that vehicle was a highlander
