The Old-Fashioned Way
1. You can't leave. You're pressured to buy the car today, without the chance to comparison shop.
2. Endless negotiation. You're stuck for hours going head-to-head with a salesman.
3. You're overwhelmed by numbers. APRs, fees, payment schedules—you have to sign right away and there's no time to think.
Our Dealer Network
We generate millions of dollars in sales each month for the dealers. By using our website as the middleman, you can save hundreds of dollars on your purchase. Why do dealers work with us then? Because of the 50,000 cars sold each day, fewer than 500 are sold through our network. That’s a drop in the bucket for the car dealers, but a bottom line price quote for you.
In addition, we'll show you any available manufacturer Rebates & Incentives for your new car.
The Back Door to Savings
A dealership’s Internet department prices its vehicles to maximize the number of cars it sells, not the profit per car. Manufacturers decide the allocation of vehicles and dealer perks on the basis of a dealership's volume.
Coming in through the "back door" levels the playing field for your negotiation and tells the dealer that you have done your research, that you know about rebates, hold-backs, multiple price quotes and all the tricks of the trade.
When you deal with our contacts in the Internet department, you get a firm price quote, and oftentimes the paper work is already prepared when you walk into the dealership.
Depending on your location, sometimes the dealer will bring the car to you at your home or office for a test drive, walk-around, and ultimately delivery.
We keep referring customers to friendly Internet Sales Managers, and they keep selling cars at incredibly low prices.
The WhyPaySticker.com Way
1. Start from the comfort of home. It's so easy with free, no-obligation Internet price quotes from Accredited Dealers.
2. Make dealers compete. You know you'll get the best price with competitive bids from multiple dealers.
3. Finalize the numbers on your terms. Finish your negotiations on your time, then go to the dealership to pick up your new car.
New 2012 Toyota Highlander Overview
The midsize 2012 Toyota Highlander crossover is one of the most family friendly vehicles around, with plenty of cargo space, seating, and flexibility.
Redesigned in 2011, the Highlander continues into 2012 with seating for up to seven passengers across three rows. Although the Highlander is one of the smallest three-row crossovers around, which we actually think is a good thing – it will actually fit into parking spaces, its interior is one of the most functional around thanks to a few nifty features. The three-seat second row has a removable center seat that you can store under the center console, which gives you two captain’s chairs in the second row and a clear path to the third row. If you fold down the second and third rows, the Highlander features 95.4 cubic feet of cargo volume.
There is a pair of engine options for the 2012 Highlander. The base engine is a 187-horsepower, 2.7-liter four-cylinder that comes mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. If you need more power, a larger 270-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 is available which is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and increases towing capacity from 3,500 to the 5,000 pounds. All-wheel drive is available if you opt for the V-6; otherwise the Highlander is exclusively front-wheel drive.
Fuel economy numbers are decent, but not great for the Highlander. They range from 17-20 mpg in the city and 22-25 mpg on the highway depending on drivetrain choices. If you want even more efficiency, then the Highlander Hybrid (reviewed separately on this site) and its 28/28 mpg city/highway might be more your speed.
Besides having a flexible interior, the 2012 Highlander also features air conditioning, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, USB/auxiliary audio inputs, and power windows and locks. If you want to further spruce up your Highlander, options include tri-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth® connectivity, a navigation system, and leather upholstery.
The Highlander is also adept when it comes to safety, with four overall stars from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS to its credit. Standard safety features include a full suite of airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag, electronic stability system, active front head restraints, and antilock brakes.
For a family on the go, the 2012 Toyota Highlander offers an appealing combination of safety, a flexible interior space, and a choice of efficient or powerful engines.
