Does anybody know what are the other incentives for Sienna for October?
09 Siennas in our area (Raleigh, NC) are not going for more than 1% over invoice with 0% financing in 3/4/5 years.
You have to ask yourself if the additional options are worth the $1000s it will cost you to get at this point- the '08 and '09 models are otherwise identical. You might look into getting the options you want installed aftermarket. It may not be integrated and installed as pretty, but it will probably be a several $1000s less expensive that trading in at this point.
My local dealer is quoting an 08 XLE FWD at 1% over invoice -2K rebate and I thought he was being generous.
Is anyone finding 08 XLE's under invoice and then also getting the rebate?
Now you want another new one, this time a 2009.
There are 2 transactions.
You're surely upside down on the loan for the 2008. So you will have to come to the table with money just to get out of that deal.
Why? Because depreciation is not linear. Your van loses the most value at first, just when you drive it off the lot. Especially since a dealer will only give you wholesale value for that trade-in. They may only offer you $22-24k on a van that you paid $30 grand for a month ago.
But...that's fair - they now have to sell it as a used van, and will expect to make a profit for it. Noone will pay $30k for it now that it's used. They might be able to get $26k for the same van, and since they get a margin on the deal they may offer you only $24k or so (that's my guess).
Now, the dealer is interested in selling you another new van, the 2009 you mention, so they may try to sweeten the deal, but they're still not going to offer you more than they could sell it for, else they would lose money.
It won't hurt to sit down and ask for real numbers, but my guess is this is going to be a very costly transaction, and you're better off keeping the 2008.
Good luck.
I think that if you feel like you got a good deal, and if they are going to take care of the CD problem, than you did pretty well. Was your price the OTD price after the trade-ins, or did the trade-ins knock down your price some?
I went to Honda thursday and got the same price for a Odyssey 08 EX-L (DVD Rear Entertainment & Navigation). The Odyssey doesn't have power rear trunk door, parking sensors, bluetooth and wood finish. So I am inclining towards Sienna.

A Sunday drive-by through the Toyota dealer lot showed in-stock units sitting there for over 3 months (using the state inspection sticker as reference.) Some of the XLE-Limited models have been gathering dust for 6 months. The LEs and CEs seemed to be moving faster.

Yours has a lot fewer miles and is CPO, but I still bet you could buy it for $26k. If you have $30k to spend, I'd look at an 07 or 08 with the better engine. 06 was the last year with the lower horsepower engine. Last piece of advice--think twice about the AWD. I've had to put $1000 worth of new run-flats on this van every 15k miles. My next van will be FWD with regular tires.
Good luck.
I just bought the same van in Massachusetts for $24250. Course, this is after a few weeks of the stock market in turmoil, retail sales down, and people running scared.
I fought hard, but like you I don't know if I could have done better. The dealer holds most of the cards after all.
I think we both did well My nuclear option was to get up and start to leave, saying that I was going to buy a liquidation 2008 EX-L from the Honda dealer. That closed the deal.
I am happy now, but honestly I hated every minute of it. Hope you've been having fun with your van, I get mine Monday!

She has ~28.4k miles on, fully loaded except the running board. It was a lease van. Sticker price $31,990. Most of my negotiation were done solely via email, no phone contact at all. (thanks for your great advises)- My last offer was 28.5k OTD and he accepted at 28.9k. But I did not receive his last email because we were on the way to their lot already. So to make the story short, I stayed there from 7pm-9pm, and drove off their lot and paid 28200 OTD.
We drove this baby around and around the neighbour for almost 1 hr in the middle of the night, did not want to go home. Silly huh?
So what do you think about the deal I got
And no not silly, we did the same thing. We put 3,000 miles on our Sienna in the last month we owned it. We bought a used 07 XLE. Love it
Over the weekend saw, then bought, a certified '06 XLE Limited (no res or nav) with 14,900 miles for $23,000. Did get 7 year extended warranty (only 9 months left of original and transferable) for $1050 - no deductible. In the end we get essentially the same vehicle (06 vs 08) with a few more whistles and forever warranty for 4 grand less than we were going to pay.
I just want to say that these posts are great and a wonderful help. Also in Tampa Bay, Stadium, Brandon, and Sun Toyota were good folks to deal with.
Thank you to all who posted and shared their experiences.
Congratulations on your new purchase. You must have felt good about it. At least we don't have to keep searching for the deal and to decide which year to buy. I think $1050 is a great deal for 7yr/100k extended warranty. The financial guy offered us ~2000 for our purchase of 2007 model. So we did not buy. So $23K is the OTD ?including the warranty?
Enjoy.
One of the small dealer guy selling 2007 Sienna LE models (used rental vehicles) for KBB private party price - Are they good to buy from him and buy the extended warranty from warrantydirect at later time?
Since it is rental leases - should I be away from them
2009 XLE Sienna
Package #C
Grey exterior/Leather interior
3 year lease
12k miles year
$1,000 total drive off
$475/month including tax
Do you think this is doable? What is everyone getting in the So Cal area?
The cost of vehicle was $23k plus the warranty at 1015 or so, with 0 deductible. There was an offer for 870 with a $50 deductible but figured we would easily eat up the difference over 7 years. Looking to add the DVD and possibly NAV and still be way under an 08. Other than the rims, hard for me to tell the difference - plus this one has the limited options that were not on the XLE #3 package. Good deal for what it is, regardless, we are happy and it's done.
Thanks again for all the postings on this site. There is a gentleman, good guy, featured on this site in an article on car concierge services that could not beat the deals I had worked up using the info here. And they get paid for doing what we in the forums are doing for ourselves. So good work all.
QN XLE Extra Value Package #4
LF Fog Lamps & DRL
AW 17" Alloy Wheels
For 29500 + tag + tax
This was the last one available at Team Toyota in Longhorn, PA. It is sliver metallic. is this a fair deal or I got hosed?
thanks guys.
Are you a cash purchase?? Does your price include discount for (not) taking 0% or are you getting 0% at your price??
If I were you, I'd ask for the price with the 0% 60 mon. I calc it to be worth over $2000 at 36 mons let alone 60 mons.
Thanks

The run flat tires have to be replaced very often and they cost a lot. I forget the details. If you look in the forums a bit, or google it, I'm sure you can find it pretty easy. I think it's even further back in this thread. I read it and decided totally against the AWD Sienna.
I'm a fan of AWD and I still passed.
Could you tell me what is the current TFS money factor for an excellent credit score and also the residual value for a Toyota Sienna XLE Limited in the Southeast (Atlanta), (12.000 miles per year, 36 months).
The dealer is telling me that the money factor would be 0.00249 and that the residual cost is around 19.100.
The configuration and sale price is:
5356 - Sienna XLE - Limited
Base $36,465
Options $2,978 (XLE EVP #2, Power folding third row, and others)
Manuf, Delv, Proc & Hndlg $795
Subtotal $40,238
Dealer Fees $616
Total $40,854
Selling Price $34,400
Thanks!
Looking for a Sienna 07 or 08 w/ just the basics.
I saw one for 21.500 ce 07 w/ 30.000 km. Is it a good price or a bit expensive?
Waiting 4 replies.
I would like to get a new car, but I can't find anything I like better than this Sienna. The turning circle is important to me (sharp driveway turn into garage) and there is nothing on the market that can turn sharper, so I don't have to do a three-point turn into the garage. Maybe the Mazda CX-9, the Honda Pilot is too ugly.
My advice would be to buy the AWD Sienna and take off the run-flat tires immediately, save them, and put conventional tires on the same rims. Buy a air pump and cans of fix-a-flat, and you should be OK. I've been doing it for about 2 1/2 years now. No worries.
