Oh yeah I agree with that - just relying what other people my age are thinking haha. For some people, convenience is the most important thing to them.

We purchased my husband's Tacoma from Hendrick Toyota of Apex, NC. Sophia Pitts was great. We did everything via email/text and arrived to the dealership with certified bank check in hand. We were finished within an hour and a half.

She even mailed us a card on our one year anniversary of purchase date. I would highly recommend that dealership.

I'm one of those rare people who actually love the car buying process, although not in this market.

Best of luck with finding the perfect Highlander!

How are Toyota cars (new and used) fairing for inventory and pricing? Toyota's are some of the most valuable vehicles - 4Runner, Highlander, Camry, Corolla, Tacoma. Actually it's hard to even say which model is the most in demand.

Last month, I saw 4Runners and Camry's marked up from sticker price (new) here in the Triangle.

This explains some of the used market for the US:



What dealers are taught to do to get your used car on their lot:

15-min. podcast about the really crazy used car market:

Oh, and Kia Tellurides often are $20-25K over MSRP
Used Mustangs are up about 30%.


(apologies for not posting Triangle-only related stuff)
