Can someone please help me understand where to start, to start getting the best deal possible?
I live in Houston and there are sooo many dealerships around here.
Thanks, Chris :confuse:
With the internet there's no need to ever set foot on a store's lot if you don't want/need to. They'll even deliver it to your driveway and handle the financing in you dining room if you so desire.

Sorry to break the news to you.

Which package does this LE specifically have? Many dealers in my area are advertising $4000 off of MSRP on all new 2006 Siennas, which equates to about invoice price I believe. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
$22,500 (include $750 rebate) + tax + doc fee for Sienna LE + pkg #2.
Is it a good deal? We live in LA.
Any comment is welcome. Thank you in advance!
Which dealer in Philadelphia?
And, if anyone can recommend dealers in Michigan/Ohio/Indiana area, where I can get the similar deal (which are relatively close to my location, Southeast Michigan), it will be great!
My target referrence point is Fitzmall price (+ 500).
Currently Fitmall advertising CE + Option#1 at around 21.7k. With tax it will be very close to what corclough got in Philly dealer.
Obviously, if I can get the similar deal in MI/OH/IN area, I do not need to drive for 9~10 X 2 hours to Fitmall or Philly....
Thank you for your help in advance.
By the way, you know what?
I used to live in Philly area and the Champion Toyota and Sloane Toyota were there even back in 1997.
My buddies and family members often got a good deal from Champion Toyota even back in 1990's. I personally got my Toyota from Sloane Toyota back in 1997.
My experience with Sloane Toyota was not really good. I actually regretted quite a lot working with them even though I made final tranjaction with them for my car. It sounded like Sloane Toyota kept growing in terms of business, I hope their service has improved also.
As far as I know, Champion Toyota was reasonable 10 years ago, and it seems they are still doing ok even now.
Now, I have more option,
1. Fitzmall
2. Stop by my family in Philly for vacation and may get a car from Champion Toyota...
will see....
The quote was roughtly 23.7 k including all tax and doc fees.
However, he said, it is "AFTER $650 Toyota Rebate" which implies that I have to pay the dealer 23.7+650 = 24.4k upfront.
Then, it does NOT seem that attractive deal considering other people getting the 06 CE at 22.5k OTD in other states (2k differences wow!)
How does manufacturer rebate work?
I don't really want to wait for "mailing" of manufacturers rebate check. Can dealer take the rebate and lower OTD price?
Also, anyone found a good deal in MI/OH/IN area on 06 CE (close to 22.5k OTD)?
That is because I had to deal first on the base price, then, doc fee, then whatever interesting fees (advertisement fee) etc... then, finally loan if not paying in cash upfront...
Most of the time, it took a whole day (morning and night), at the last minute dealing on a loan rate, ended up getting outrageous rate....
Then, for the past years, getting the $$ from other source (through other bank, credit union etc) and dealing on the OTD price, it ended up much simpler and most of all, can really enjoy the new car...
Anyway... I will seek for better deal from other local dealers... If can NOT knock off another 1~2k from the current deal, so what, I can always drive down to Fitzmall...
anyone can find a better quote from MI/OH/IN area? it will be greatly helpful for me though....
Thank you
I bought my van February 25 and like many others, feel I indebted to this forum for the knowledge I gained.
2006 LE #4
Retail: $28,424 (had to get one of the "fresh" ones with the $150 increase to get red and #4.
Paid: $25478.75 - $750 rebate = $24,728
Add:
Classic soft trim leather and heated seats $1679
MN License $365.75
MN Sales tax $1716.50
Out the door total $28540 - paid cash
The leather and heated retailed for $2100 so that is what I sealed this deal as others didn't budge much in that area. In MN, XLE #5 is not available so to me the #6 with JVC, a sunroof, foglights and more robo doors where nice but not worth $4500.
Bought from Rudy Luther's which was a 95% good experience. Sale Manager coaxed me to leave another dealer with an aggressive last pitch. When arriving and doing the paperwork, of course the "oh that price didn't include the heated seats - just leather" happen to wreck the good feeling I was having though all along it was always both leather and heated. So we split the difference which I still see as costing me $200 more than it was supposed to. Otherwise, all other employees at Luther were great. Nail EVERY detail of your transaction down and you will not get beat at this part of the game like I did.
How beat was I though really? This thing is far superior to the XLT AWD Explorer I paid $2000 more for in late 1998 (7.5 years ago). Thanks all.
MSRP 24975
negotiated price: 21800
+ Tax 1472
+ Title/Document 160
- 750 rebate 750
- 400 college reba 400
= OTD ~22300
not sure if it is the best but some info for your benchmark.
I think your deal is the best one that I have found so far.
Which dealer in Chicago?
Chicogo is relatively closer to my location (SE Michigan) than Fitzmall.
By the way, do they give college reba to everyone?
(I graduated college like 9 years ago....^^;)
i don't know if you still applicable for College $400. but without that, it is a little under $22700.
Let me try that dealer...
I received a few several dealer quotes from local dealer (SE MI)...
None of them better than 24k OTD (1.3k differences).
Would I drive half/whole day for 1.3k? YES I WILL!!!!
NO Floor mats
Difficult car to find with Color (Salsa Red) and package that we wanted. We wound up using a broker to locate the vehicle. We could only get it out of Northern California. Prices are higher in the North but the Toyota rebate is 1000 instead of 750. We wound up paying 240 more than Southern California after the rebate, but we got the car we wanted. You could EITHER take the rebate or use the special financing, not both.
31,035 MSRP
27,356 Selling price
45 Documentation fee
2,260.58 Taxes 8.25% Los Angeles county
240 license fee for 1st year
8.75 California Tire recyling fee
29,910.33 Total
- 1,000 Toyota Rebate Northern California
28,910.33 Grand Total
ABOVE PRICE SHOULD BE READ AS OTD PRICE.
If possible, buy it outside of houston or even outside of TEXAS and drive home to get a better deal. Good luck.
Texas - everything is giant from product to prices to taxes to anything. Don't expect cheaper in Lone Star State.
I got a quote of $21990 after $1000 rebate for Sienna LE with package #1 and CF. Taxes + lic extra.
I shopped around and by far this is the best I got.
What do you guys think can I go for this?
MSRP: $26589
Dealer invoive: $24400
Selling Price: $22900
Rebate: -$1000
Final quote: $21990.
If it's for real, grab it.
I will go with second choice color.
On LE with package# it don't have VSC+traction control
I just bought a 2006 Sienna Limited with option three(3) package in Florida. It included Toyo Guard($699) and mats($240). I had them include the rear spoiler which will be added at the dealer. The color is Artic Frost which is an additional cost. The MSRP without the spoiler was $42,371. I am guessing with the spoiler it comes to $42,771.
My price came to $35,900.(The dealers retained $1000 rebate).
Add fees, tax, tag and title to this. I purchased the extended warranty for an additional $1500.
Was the warranty worth it? It is supplied from Fidelity Warranty Services. Is this company reputabale?
How was the price for the Sienna compared to what others have paid?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
See if you can cancel. If you want an EW, buy Toyota's.
The warranty is 7year/100K miles $0 deductible and is the platinum version which is their highest form of coverage. When I purchased the warranty at the dealer, I thought it was a Toyota warranty but later I learned it was thrid party.
Does Toyota have an extended warranty?
Thanks,
So, now we are in a quandary. Sienna or Odyssey? I am wondering how many of your new Sienna owners decided against the Odyssey for the noises or other problems? Thanks in advance for any help you can give us!

I'm fairly new to the car-buying experience, and after looking through these wonderful forums, I have a question. I am on the verge of buying an '06 Sienna Limited w/ package #3 in Arkansas. MSRP is $43,037. The dealer is only coming off $2k from MSRP. Looking at other buyer's experiences, this deosn't look like a good deal at all.
Do these prices vary that greatly among regions? I had assumed that the high price was due to the relatively low supply of the package 3 limited Siennas, but maybe I'm just getting a bad deal. Any thoughts would be helpful.
I would be willing to travel farther away from Arkansas to get a good price. Try Memphis, the Nashville region, or even Atlanta.
Could you please tell me what dealer you went to?
That sounds a good deal to me. I am looking for a sienna too.
Thanks
The car:
Toyota Sienna XLE (FWD) 7 passenger
Option package #8 (DVD, Navigation, etc)
Option CF: "Floor Mats"
Location: SF Bay Area (CA)
Price paid: $36,434.10 (Out the door)
Price break down:
$34,238 (Car with options)
$45.00 (doc prep fee)
$2828.35 (8.25% sales tax, Santa Clara Co)
$28 (DMV electronic filing fee)
$286 (Licence fee to DMV for title)
$8.75 (California Tire Fee)
-$1000.00 (Toyota Rebate)
Totals to $36,434.10
I appreciate the help this site offered on prices that others were paying, and wanted to give feedback on my experience.
The Dealership I used was Piercey Toyota in San Jose CA.
Did you finance it or pay cash?
And what kind of floormats did you get? The all weather ones?
Can you please let me know the salesperson name and when did you buy it. Sienna LE with package # 1 means you got a 8 seater with the AM package if I am correct.
Thanks,
K
