Is this a good price for a 13'

In Seattle, it looks like invoice is doable, but my RWD, 400+HP isn't fetching the KBB trade-in value that I want to pull the trigger! Bad timing on my part it looks like. There's def a steady stream of inventory coming in off the boats.
 
Closed a deal at $73,600 here in Seattle. At or near invoice is what's realistic for a new 2014 in the PNW based on my notes.
 
Car pricing is an interesting game. In 2008 bought a new MB CLS63 AMG with the performance package, had a MSRP of $128k for $80k. Way below dealer invoice, it had been sitting on the dealer lot for almost a year and the 2009's were already hitting the lot. I just don't understand why the 200's are holding there price point? Really a speciality vehicle like AMG's which normally don't hold their value?
 
the only car that's held its value well in my car life history is a 2008 GT3. in fact, i think it's appreciated since i've sold it given the recent announcement that future GT3s will no longer be offered with manual shift.

the 2011 and 2013 range rover sport i owned faced a similar depreciation curve, but honestly it wasn't that bad given their low overall volume. i also bought the supercharged models which were made in even smaller figures.

ultimately, all but the very special cars depreciate. what attracts me to the LC is its heritage, low volume,and build quality - a bonus is its strength in resale since clean ones are very hard to come by! it's def a niche truck which is a part of its charm. people who know really "know" what they're getting into.

official vehicle of nato and un. millions of miles of testing all over the world in the most extreme conditions.

Agreed, can't beat a LC/LX for quality and resale.

That's exactly what i paid in Kirkland including remote, film, carpets and special color. There were 2 similar ones in California for 72k but one dealership was full of jerks and the other one wanted me to drive it to nevada for registration... went local and got to 73 pretty quick

It took me a bit longer as I had a trade-in that wasn't a typical Toyota audience friendly car.

they are definitely coming (trickling) in the 14s... but dealerships get very few a year from what i understand. i submitted quotes on edmunds.com and kbb. it's the best way to get their attn without driving up to lots. thank goodness i don't have to deal with car sales guys for awhile! more misses than hits.

i'd say michael's, lake city are straight shooters.
