I recently bought a Sienna LE (in Texas); I paid $27,500 + TTL that came out to be $29,600. The Truecar.com sienna V6 LE pricing suggested $29K as target but indicated that the lowest price paid in my area as $28K+ TTL. I got $500 less than this number! I hope you are aware that you can get a mail-in rebate of $750 through Edmunds! Hurry up and drive to the dealership for negotiation. Nobody gives their best price by phone or email! Its unfortunate, but that's how it is!
I live in Houston area, TX. I bought a new 2012 Toyota Sienna LE (V6 8 Pass) on June 30th for $27,500+TTL=$29,600. Is this a good deal? Can other buyers share their experiences and prices paid? Thanks.
rc2, I am living in Houston too. Could you tell me where you buy your Toyota Sienna LE 8 pass? What option you get? I am looking for a new Toyota too. Thanks,
I Bought a Toyota SE with SE Premium Package with Entune Navigation, Carpet Mat & Door Still , Cross Bars, and Shield Package MSRP $39,534 Paid $36191 + 309 Dealer/documents Fee Let me know people how i did on this deal, Also question i have is i got the edmunds toyota rebate i didnt know if it matter but when i gave email address to deal its different from the the one on Form everything else name address phone # the same will i have problem to get rebate? please let me know Thanks
I got a 2012 Sienna Limited AWD Blizzard Pearl with the Navigation package and convenience package, Roof rack, lower door moldings, Floor mats, and door sill protectors. My price for the car was $39,999 before tax etc.
I also added the Toyota extra care platinum with zero deductible 6 years 125k miles for $1105 and 5 years 75k for $1295.
I purchased 8 Seat Silver Sky Metallic XLE FWD (No options) for $31,358 incl destination + Tax + Dealer fees. Out the door $34,000 (NJ) Dealer is Towne Toyota. I had a Honda Ody EX-L offer for 33,200 OTD, but chose Sienna because I am already using Camry and know the quality.
The vehicle is pretty good. Dashboard quality does bother me. Overall styling is good. Ride is refined, adequate power. Coming from Camry Hybrid CVT- it is taking some time to get used to 6-speed shifts. View is limited. There is space everywhere.
Not sure if this is a good price or not. But I am happy with the purchase. (BTW - I added OEM Remote Start from the dealer for $492/- extra)
I am in CT and shopping around in New England. For V6 XLE FWD 8-pass Predawn Gray Mica, last week I got an initial quote for 30,628 (includes dest) + 349 dealer fee + TTL from Boch Toyota in MA. It was indicated that further savings (perhaps shaking down that dealer fee or more) are possible if I am serious and willing to buy within days. I opted to wait until I know of the new incentives starting 7/10 and the looming 2013 models.
That is a good price. You should wait for some more time and see how the prices come down. There will always be a sweet spot time you should buy after the new models are announced. I believe, we cannot really predict the model year available stock/ demand. Good lucj.
Agree, 2012 availability (of trims, colors & options) will be unpredictable as I wait too long. Also I think any extra savings due to 2013 models may be in the 500 to 1k range. Little tradeoff between savings and immediate summer use/enjoyment of new car. Thanks.
I pre-negotiated the price and went to the dealership to purchase a new Sienna.
At the dealership when I am ready to pay cash and the sales-person (general sale manager) suddenly told me that I can only pay with "certified check"s, not personal checks.
Its possible they have been burned in the past on the issue. A certified check guarantees you have the funds in place where a personal check can bounce or be easily be placed on stop-payment. A personal check shouldn't have been a problem if they were able to run a credit check on you and insure you had the means to finance if necessary.
This is a standard business practice and I have never purchased a car any other way. Once you leave with the car and or possibly the title it is really hard for them to get it back.
When was the last time before this that you bought a car?

I can't even get near that number with the dealers in my area (NYC). The lowest I've gotten so far is $28300 for the LE V6. Lucky you!
I am looking for a New 2012 Salsa Red Pearl Toyota Sienna XLE with XLE premium package in NJ or PA. Anyone know of a dealership selling this model. Can't seem to find this van in stock anywhere.
Thanks a lot for the certified check clarification. We got two cars in 2002 and 2004 from two different dealership (one Japanese, one American) and paid with personal checks without any hesitation from dealership. Also, this toyota dealership didn’t mention anything about certified checks when I told them about cash payout on the phone, so I thought it was a scam.
kagedude: I am 1 hour and 15 minutes from NYC. We can team up to negotiate to buy TWO or THREE instead of one together. I have another friend buying soon too.

Saw your post too late. I actually ended up getting an Odyssey EX instead. Was getting $28526 for the Sienna LE V6 yesterday but my Honda dealer called last minute with a $28250 price for the EX so we went with that instead. Good luck!
The week of July 4th, Boch Toyota in MA advertized LE 8-pass V6 for $27,498 (including dest). There is no reason they can't come around that price now as I think the Toyota incentives have not changed since then. Give them a try if they are not too far for you.
Hi, guys: I needs some help here for my friends 2004 Siena LE with 8 seats. This car is daily driven, without disconnecting battery or jump-start lately. Its SMOG inspection fails because of MIL/ODB II not ready. When I use a scanner, I find that there have two monitors not ready or incomplete: 1): O2 sensor 2): EVAP. Also, 1): There has no error code, (completed or pending). 2): MIL (Check Engine Light) is NOT on. 3): Five monitors (misfire, fuel, etc ) are completed. Driving looks noraml in any condition.
Welcome. The same offer 27,499 is being advertized again (effective 7/13/2012 - 7/31/2012). Please check their site Boch Toyota (go to Specials->Newspaper Ad)
We are trying to find a 2012 Sienna without a DVD entertainment system but with the limited convenience pkg with hi-density headlights/rain-sensing windshield washers and the Nav system with JBL speakers don't know difference with Entune or the other
We cannot find any dealer in DFW TX area (and that is lot of dealers) that has a car with the hi-density lights on a lot
and no one really wants to deal on what they have from our perspective anyone know a dealer that would special order a car at cost basically just so we can get what we want and not pay for what we don't? We aren't in hurry Have 09 Camry Hybrid to trade but that price is getting knocked down because it was in accident--totally repaired-drives great--car has lots of options so is like an XLE Camry basically
what is reasonable knockoff for car that has accident on its VIN history?
Plus the usual PA 6% tax and $222.50 Tag+Doc Fees. @ 60 months - 0.9%.
We did purchase the Platinum Warranty 7yrs/100K/0-deductible and money-refund if we don't use the warranty at the end of the 7yrs (doubtful) for $950. Cheapest one for this Platinum Warranty is $875 but I can't finance it with my van. PM if you need contact.
All pricing negotiated via email. No sitting around at the dealership. Just came in with the check and sign and drive home.
Dealer: Ardmore Toyota in Ardmore PA. Ask for Alberto (aka AL)
What was the sticker price on this mini van and what other options does it have? I'm looking for one and they only want to give me $2,300 of the sticker price. Any advice how to get a better deal?
We tried three times to purchase a Sienna Limited--7 passenger of course--in the Tarrant county area/FTW TX and suburbs... were trading a 2009 Camry Hybrid with leather seats. heated seats/mirrors, sunroof--upgraded sound package--nicer options than most Camry Hybrids...
First dealer we went to was one I bought the Camry from using Internet shopping...got decent price on car considering that was the summer when gas prices went to $4+ a gallon a few years ago... This time didn't do that-- went to showroom to shop--met salesman--liked him--drove car--liked it better than I thought I would... went back to make deal on Saturday with trade in they lowballed us on that--only offered 14K when Edmunds shows 18-- they finally came up to 17K for the car which had been in accident several years before and repaired and no problems with driving it now...no problems of any kind really with this car...
We dickered--the Sienna we wanted was not on their floor--said it had to be trailered in from outside Metroplex...had lot of extras even for Limited--the 3Mfilm protection, remote start OEM which is much better than dealer installed... anyway best price we could come to was 24K plus TTL which would have added another 1800-2200 they offered no extended warrenty to sweeten the deal... First dealership was the best-- had the best car to offer and really the best price on trade and final price the second and third had similar cars but lacked remote start and 3M film protection which I really like They never came up to 17K for my car and one of them tried to get us to take a drive out 31K... one of them added in $3200 for extended warrenty that was terrible deal... The sales managers for both of those dealerships called within 48 hours to ask what it would take to make a deal...my husband had already bought a Buick Enclave...he decided to trade his Tahoe and use the new car for his driving vs mine... We could have paid cash and apparently that means you are so rich you don't have to get a good price in some people's minds... We should have taken the deal with Freeman but at the time we hadn't done any shopping and didn't know how difficult it was going to get...
I'm in the market for a Sienna SE right now, but I realize that the 2013s will be out soon. Anyone know when the dealers will be getting their 2013 inventory?
Interesting, I far as I know the Edmunds $750 rebate hasn't been available since late June, but since you had 45 days to redeem it its possible these two rebates could overlap if you timed it right.
just called, the rebate form is only good for the vehicles listed in the email so apparently the sienna does not get the $750 despite being advertised and mentioned in the FAQ as such (unless someone is getting an different rebate form emailed to them then the one I got)
Just bought a brand new 2012 Sienna XLE with RES & NY + Remote Starter + All Weather Mat at OTD $37000. Given our tax rate is 8.25, I think we got pretty good deal. Oh yeah, of course 0% for 60 months!
I got alot of information from this forum and thought I would like to share my experience as well.
Without Tax & Fees, my purchase price was around $33900. I declined Warranty from my dealer cuz they were asking 8yrs/100K miles for $1990... !!!
I feel like i have a great sense of what i should pay for an XLE with premium package. What is the best people have been able to do on XLE with Nav, but no Ent/DVD. Specifically XLE, AWD, 7 pass, Nav/Entune, no other add ons. Thanks in advance!
V6 LE (model 5338) + Alarm, Floor mats, roof rails and destination= $31,240 MSRP - $3,740 discount -$1K northern California rebate down payment match (in lieu of promotional APR) =$26,500. I also have the $750 rebate Edmunds was offering a month back and the current $250 debit card promotion. This was kind of an ad car special but was pretty much what I wanted (well all LEs in this area seem to come with at least the alarm/floor mats which I could have done without).
did you already purchase? i'm in Northern Cali too and looking to buy soon. i split my time between Sacramento and Vallejo. If you're interested in a group by, let me know when and where. thx xetown 'at' hotmail DOT com
I am trying to buy all weather floor mats for my new 2012 Sienna - to protect the carpets. Any experience or suggestions as to where to buy the OEM (genuine Toyota) floor mats? Thanks appreciate all responses.

At least, this gives you what you can get at this price.
