I am looking to pull the trigger but want to make sure I make the right decision. I only plan on having it 4 or 5 years and then getting a new vehicle.

I decided to buy over leasing it

I really love the XC60 look but its seems like the highlander gives you more bang for your buck in every other category. Better resale value.

If I went highlander, they have many 2016 highlanders that are certified used under 8000 miles so that is an option. However the price difference between that and a new one is about 3000. Is that worth getting a used one over a new one?

Also, what are some tips when buying from a dealership as far as getting a good deal.

I have a credit score above 800 but below 850

Also, what is the ballpark range of getting the final price reduced to if the car is $41,000?

Literally choose between the same two vehicles 6 months ago. We went with the Highlander because we got way more options for our money and had the third row seating for when needed.

If money were no object, though, we would have gotten the new xc90. That thing is glorious.

Don't know a out the xc60 but rented a xc90 w/diesel for two weeks in the uk and it was very nice and I would strongly consider one although that engine would likely never be offered in the US.

As a guy that drives a Highlander due to a reshuffling of family vehicles and making the best financial decision...a Highlander, while a rock solid vehicle, is nothing more than a mom-wagon and a reimagined:
