Toyota Repair: Toyota Sequoia SR5 2003, cabin air filter, toyota sequoia

Question
I went to a toyota dealer to have my Seqouoia's(2003/SR5) oil/filter changed and tire rotated. They asked if I had my 30K maintenance done - I said no and declined at that time - with confidence because I read on previous post that only a few services are required (oil/filter change, tire rotation, air filter and cabin air filter). My husband just changed the air filter of our car. So I asked the service consultant as to how much will it cost to have my Sequoia's cabin air filter changed. He quoted me around $120-150. For a filter?! Obviously I declined that service as well. After the oil/filter changed and went online to browse how much a CAF for a sequoia is...no luck can't find any. I talked to an online rep and was told by his toyota rep that a sequoia is not equipped with it! Is this true?! Why did the dealership quoted me a price for something my car is not equipped with. Mind you this toyota dealership is the 2nd largest dealership in the US!!!!! Please help.


Answer
Even if the sequioa had a cabin air filter the price quoted is way out of line, I have checked the service manual and could not find any evidence that the sequioa is so equipped, I would suggest calling the dealership and request an explanation from the service manager.
