2013 and Earlier - Toyota Sienna Prices Paid and Buying Experience

jfeix

Just bought for $31,500, and after tax, title, loan, fees, etc, we paid about $34,000. Although we paid ~$3K below invoice, we are also in December and are wondering whether we could/should have negotiated less? Would just like to get reassurance that this is a good price for an '05 this late in the year.

I live in Dallas, and TV ads are running on the annual "Toyotathon" specials that tout a $1500 rebate on '05 Siennas regardless of trim level. All the websites for the dealerships in my area reflect the same incentive (for example, see www.toyotatex.com). Reading it more closely now, I see it is actually a joint rebate offering from Toyota Motors, Gulf States Toyota (the exclusive distributor in TX) and the dealer's association. Alternatively, they also offer a $500 rebate and 3.9% for 60 months. Hope that helps.

Could you post the dealer name and location?

Thanks

petras2

has anyone purchased an optional extended factory warranty and what did you pay? thanks

philg87

I did payed $880 for a 7 yr 100k 0 deductible Toyota extra Care

challa

I am also interested in finding this information. Also, can you buy warranty in any state or does it have to be in the state where you live in?

Thanks

You can buy from any state.

"You can buy from any state."

Not true if you're in Florida.

For now, I can only say, Southern California. More info to come later. Actually, the dealer name and location wouldn't help very much. I believe this price could probably be had in any dealership, so it's not that this dealership is particularly generous. For example, I purchased a brand new Camry in 2003 from Buena Park Toyota for 16k + tax & lic, which comes out to $18.7k Out-The-Door. This is a V-6 with a moonroof and upgraded wheels. The typical price for a Camry is aproximately 20k OTD with no options on the lowest LE trim, but we actually got this camry out the door for less than that, with options. This time when we bought the Sienna, it happens to be a different Toyota dealership.

makeadeal

Did you use the email method or go into the dealership? I try email 10 dealerships in the south cal area, but they wouldnt go below $25.5k before TTL. $27.9k OTD.

I call power cerritos, they said the $23.9k is only a loss lead price and wouldnt match it on the other minivans.

Thanks

ravenings

I didn't use the email method. I just went into the dealership and wanted to buy a 2005 knowing that there won't be very many left so I might not get my choice of color or options and that the dealership will discount it to the hill to get rid of it. Considering we didn't have a color in mind, and wanted only the LE with minimum options, we weren't sacrificing much. So for someone who wanted a 2006, with their color and options, then they probably won't be able to get this price.

I currently going through this experience, so I will share what I have learned from reading this forum and doing a little research.

First, the Toyota backed Extended Warranty (Platinum) is popular. The various packages and MSRP are listed on www.toyotafinancial.com.

Second, except for FL and perhaps other southern states, many other states honor the same Platinum warranty which nearly all Toyota dealerships should honor. Apparently in some southern states the coverage and contract varies. For example the Toyota Platinum warranty for non-Southern states is not refundable whereas some contracts which are underwritten with other policies or protections could be if you do not issue a claim against the policy while it is active.

Third, price for the Platinum warranty's vary GREATLY. For example, the popular 7 years / 100K miles, $0 dedutible plan has an MSRP of $1450! I've read here that people are offered this for $3K----but to pay under a thousand dollars is not unreasonable.

Fourth, one business manager at a local dealer quoted me a price which I caluclated was 25% off MSRP. The next day a different business manager at the same dealership quoted me 15-20% off MSRP for the same thing! When I challenged him on it, he simply stated the other business manager was giving me a great price. Yeah, right. He also told me I had about a week after my new purchase to decide. From everything I know this is not true. I beleive you can purchase the extended warranty during the first 3 years or 36K miles but it is not retroactive, it is only from the date of purchase forward.

Fifth, some dealers have made a good repuation selling the Toyota Platinum warranty's via the Internet for a modest profit. For example, Greenfield Toyota in Massachusetts has been doing this for a few years and they sell a lot of them. My quoted price for the 7/100/$0 is $880 which is only 61% of MSRP! You probably should confirm with your local dealer that they 'participate' and will honor the Platinum warranty purchased from another dealer or out-of-state.

I hope this helps some of the people who are now wondering the same things I was only a couple of weeks ago!!!

With all of the vehicles I've owned in the past I've never considered prepaid maintenance until now. After reading the forums here, I decided it was worth a closer look. That I have learned will save me (and you) a lot of money.

For a new Toyota Sienna purchase (<1000 miles?) you have the option to purchase a prepaid premium maintenance package which basically can cover oil changes, tire rotations, and

As the proud new owner of a 2006 Sienna XLE Limited AWD with Navigation and DVD, and those 'questionable' Dunlop run flat tires I figured I'd do some digging.

First, you need to be aware that the OEM Dunlop run flat tires are not cheap, about $200 or more from tirerack.com and the customer reviews clearly show that without proper maintenance and rotations these tires may only last ... 12-20K miles! I hope to do better than that with proper maintenance.

Second, according to toyotafinancial.com you will pay $990 MSRP for the 4 years, 55K miles Premium package (oil changes and tire rotations at 5K miles, plus the 3 service packages at 15K, 30K, and 45K miles). They offer many other packages but this is the one I wanted.

Third, I shopped around and found out that I can purchase this Toyota backed prepaid maintenance plan for $670 at an in-state dealer. You need to confirm that your local Toyota dealership "participates" and will honor this Toyota prepaid maintenance plan when purchased elsewhere---apparently not all honor it.

Fourth, I then called two major Toyota dealerships north of Boston, MA to compare prices for oil changes, tire rotations, and the 3 service packages. The results were very interesting. Atlantic Toyota (Lynn,MA) would charge $1226 w/tax but not including the occasional discount or coupon they offer. Ira Toyota (Danvera, MA) would charge $1452 for the same. I figure the dealerships make a nice markup on service and maintenance, and they probably include services in their 15/30/45K service packages which make it more costly but not necessarily in the Toyota recommended scheduled maintenance plan. For example, why replace a part or do service that is not factory recommended? It's wasteful, no?

There you have it, within an hour I was able to find out that the prepaid maintenance for $670 would be a much better deal than the $1200-1450 the local dealerships would charge me and I don't even need a coupon

HI, hoping to get some feedback for a possible sale of this car!

Private party looking to sell sienna 2005 LE, bought in Jan 2005, has 12K miles, package #1. ALl sales records are accountable to them being the original owners car purchased in PA.

Aesthetically the car has not been taken well care of for example inside seats have fabric marks on from car seats, carpet is slightly dirty, scuffs on interior plastic of car near all doors and in the rear trunk areas.

Car has excessive scratches on the exterior, looks as if someone took a key or two and went around the WHOLE car front to back and side to side. TO picture there is almost one solid line of deep scratch all the way around. Also, all four corners of the car bumpers are scuffed, not terribly but some paint is removed on 2 corners. Otherwise mechanically appeared in great shape. NO apparent body work done, and everything else on exterior looks fine.

The reason for the marks was told has 4 boys and their bikes did all the damage in and out, certainly could be bike scratches. Price is good, and we could possibly live with the scratches but if we were ever to resell, I think the value would be hurt, hence what we pay for the car issue. So my question is, is this a good enough deal for this minivan given the info above?

thanks so much for your help!

cccompson

Why spend $18,500 for a damaged vehicle? I would think you could buy a new '06 comparably equipped for about the same (or less) than combined cost of the vehicle and needed repairs.

You are describing minor damage that would cost major dollars because a majority of the vehicle needs to be refinished. It's not likely you'll be happy driving it in its present condition.

lovesienna

God, it sounds like the car is NOT nice inside out! The owner does not take good care of the car. Who knows how he abused the engine/tx in the whole year? I would think about it if $15k. No way for $18k. A brand new 2006LE + pkg 1 for only $23k after $500 rebate.

wantavan1

I was unable to get a quote that low 23K with LE package, and some options #1, floor mats , etc.... I think best so far was 25 and change with TTL....but I was a non committing buyer at that point, so maybe they move a bit more once I show that I am ready to sign. Thanks for the feedback both of you, nuch appreciated.

I just purchased a 2006 Toyota Sienna XLE(fwd) with package # 7 in Arctic Frost Pearl. I sent out numerous requests for price quotes to dealers in Virginia. The best price quoted was from a dealer in Northern Va (this is 200 miles from my home). They quoted me a price of $30,888 (after $500 rebate) for the vehicle(the MSRP was $36,429) I then called dealers in the Hampton Roads area and they told me there was no way they could match this price as they were losing money. I then called a dealer in Williamsburg, Va. and they had the vehicle I wanted. The MSRP on the Sienna was $ 36,179 and I was able to talk them down to $ 30,886 (after $500 rebate). My total out the door price was $ 32,584. Just wondering if this was a pretty good deal or could I have gotten it cheaper. Thanks.

Fitzmall.com
2006 LE 7 + pkg#1 (AM), "Delivered Internet Price: $23,170"
Good luck.

jsb002

Have to say this was an excellent buying experience all the way around. Hope those of you in the market find the details helpful.

I spotted the model above in the color we wanted (Silver) online at Ourisman Toyota (Northern Va). MSRP was $42,237; internet price was 36,937 (after $500 rebate) plus Taxes, Tags, and Processing fee of $278. After two rounds of calls to 3 other dealers in the area, The best I could get over the phone was $37,016 including processing fee (also included mats, wheel locks, and door sill protectors) from Miller Toyota. So I went to Ourisman in-person, drove it, and flatly told them about the Miller deal. Ourisman sales manager immediately matched it, threw in the accessories to make the deals identical, and added the cargo net as a kicker. Final purchase price was $36,737 plus $278 processing, taxes, and tags.

I sat down with the finance guy fully expecting to give back the $500 rebate for the 3.9% promotional rate over 60 months. With $15K down, the payment was $447. But then I asked if leasing was still an option at this point and he ran the numbers ON THE SAME PURCHASE PRICE. I required 36 mos and 15K miles per year. It took only a little work to get the 0.00091 money factor, zero security deposit, and gap premium reduced to $270. Couldn't dodge the $400 acquisition fee but was otherwise thrilled with the $549.99 payment and only the first month's payment due at signing. They also gave me 2 years of free maintenance.

Took it back two days later to have the accessories installed and Ourisman (Fairfax) had a free loaner waiting for me. Just top-notch all the way around. I wasn't really planning to lease, but given the option at the sub-invoice price, it seemed like a no-brainer. However, I hadn't prepared as much for the lease negotiation, so I welcome feedback from others on this deal. Hope the info is helpful to others in the market.

I just bought 06 Sienna 8 pass package #2,running boards, all weather floor mats, regular floor mats and sill protectors for $24350. Out-the-door price was $26516. Is this a good price?

I am looking for a new 2006 Sienna LTD 2WD with HO pkg (DVD + NAV), convenience pkg (running boards + spoiler), CF pkg (floor mats/door sill protector).

The best deal so far has been:
31931 --> 2006 Sienna Ltd 2WD base invoice price.
565 --> Destination charge.
2978 --> HO package (DVD + NAV). invoice price.
596 --> Conv pkg (running boards, spoiler). invoice prc.
200 --> CF pkg (floor mats, door sill protector)
500 --> TDA ??
600 --> Dealer markup
-500 --> Toyota year end rebate

This adds up to 36870 + TTL for an out of door price of $39,600. Is this a good deal? By the way I live in NJ.

Also
1) What does TDA mean and should I be paying for it?
2) Is the CF package really an option. I was told by the salesman that Sienna Ltd comes from factory without floor mats so I have to pay an extra 200 bucks for the CF pkg. I find it hard to believe that a 40K vehicle can come w/o floor mats.

I would appreciate any feedback. Also any of you who have bought a similar vehicle recently pls post your quotes.

Thank you.

cccompson

TDA = Toyota Dealer Advertising. It is a fee assessed by region and the cost varies.

Suggest you get quotes from the Washington DC area as they seem to offer the cheapest Sienna prices in the country. Try the websites for Fitzgerald or Darcars.

Just purchased a new 2005 sienna LE with pkg 6 ( BZ) for 23450.00 plus tax , title and doc abt 25300.00 also threw in 3 free oil changes.

I got an 06 LE with PKG 3, floor mats, cargo net, first aid kit, wheel locks for $24,500 excluding tax & title.

I just purchased a 2006 Toyota Sienna Limited with pkg# 3 fully loaded with Toyo Guard for $36,941 (MSRP $41,768) before TTL.

The good news is that I do not own anymore a Honda vehicle and will never ever again look back at this manufacturer/make as I am really happy that I got rid of my 2005 Odyssey EX-L RES.

Oooh what a luxury and quite driving experience that silver shadow pearl Sienna is... keep up the good work TOYOTA!!!!!

The transaction included a trade in...:

2006 Toyota Sienna Limited ($36941)
2005 Honda Odyssey EX-L RES (trade allowance $23500)
other misc. fees: $465

The dealership was at Mark Jacobson Toyota in Durham, NC.


Happy Holidays

Hi, I looked at an 05 limited with package 2 (navigation, back-up camera, DVD system). It has 10,000 miles, but the dealer said that it is considered "new" because it has never been titled, and the warranty would start from date of purchase. How much of a discount should I be asking for? I checked out the Edmunds used car numbers with the 05 limted TMV, but the used car numbers actually came up higher!

XLE FWD - MSPR 29.425 plus 4238 in accessories - total MSRP of 34262. Was given a price of 30.936 plus 299 Dealer Handling plus Tax. I was told it is an invoice price - anyone was able to go below invoice? Should I wait till December 31 to buy - would they be more flexible?
Interestingly enough, they do offer 5k off LTD AWD and it cost less than LTD without AWD (37964$ for AWD LTD (MSRP of 42964), vs 38000$ for LTD FWD (MSRP - 41514).

floridagyrl

please send me these directions.

Prepared to purchase this vehicle on 31 Dec 05. The MSRP is 33,251, dealer out the door is 31000.

Question: Is it true that doc or admin fee is hard to negotiate?

The options are carpet mats (269), toyoguard (699) and leather trimmed seats at 1750. I think this costs are inflated based on Edmunds,NADA and Kelly. This will be a cash sale and no trade in. Is this a good price for out the door? I'm reworking the cost. I have several online quotes for this vehicle the difference is fabric and leather; option pkg 6. They are trying to ditch me with 500 for dealer fees and tag transfer.

This is the vehicle I want but would like to know what is a good counteroffer for me to offer.

I'm prepared to fax and email a counter offer before 9 am tomorrow morning but I would like to receive some feedback right away.

hansienna

Toyota options are usually overpriced....but a $ 2,251 discount from MSRP is reasonably fair to both the dealer and the purchaser for a new, high demand Sienna XLE.
Dealer doc fees are just a gimmick that should be labeled "Additional Dealer Profit" which would lower the actual discount to about $ 1751 altho tag transfer may be legitimate expense depending on your city and state.

floridagyrl

Thanks a lot and I do know about these additional costs. I was a 1999 Sienna LE owner until a lady ran a red light while talking on her cell and totalled my car. When I arrived the transmission had dropped on the street so now I'm shopping again.

My son was driving and has some serious neck, shoulder and back problems.

floridagyrl

This would appear to be a good price but the MSRP did not include the doc fee of 499.99, tag, title transfer fees and taxes.

So do you think it a good otd price?

tigerbait1

We live in Louisiana. But after a nationwide search, we bought our van from Toyota of Frederick/Darcars in Frederick, Maryland. The dealers in the D.C. area are very competitive. Their internet departments are also very good. Toyota of Frederick's internet department was friendly, very knowledgable, and straight-forward. They were a refreshing change from dealers down here. In that region, we were able to get the van we wanted, with the options we wanted, and without all of the port-installed options that we didn't want and which are commonly installed in the Gulf-South region. We saved at least $2,000 by buying up there, and enjoyed a relaxing ride home with our new van.

Our purchase price for the XLE w/ pack. 7 was $ 30,535, plus $ 100 dealer processing. The price includes the $ 500 rebate available in that region.

Hope this helps and good luck!

cccompson

It is NOT a great price, floridagyrl. Assuming you're in the Sunshine State, check the website for the Toyota store in Deland. They post their prices and for the unit you're talking about the price should be less than $30,000 (exclusive of their large doc/processing fee which may well be negotiable there).

Hi!

What is the good OTD (Out the door) price for Sienna CE 8 seater with Package #1 or without any package? Cars direct price is about 22600 + TAX + TAG + LIC without any package.

How much window tint cost at the dealer vs other?

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks and Happy new year.

lovesienna

Can we get 2006 CE8? It does not have CE8 at toyota.com! only 2006 LE8. or 2005 CE8 and LE8.

hansienna

YES. Toyota makes an 8 passenger 2006 Sienna CE. I have sat inside a Natural White 8 passenger 2006 Sienna CE at Mark Miller Toyota.
The Toyota web site shows ONLY the Sienna models and options available for sale in the Zip Code that is entered.
Try the Toyota web site and type in any Denver CO region zip code.

sb_sienna

Is this service available in all states? I checked in PA (3 dealers) and the dealers do not seem to offer this package. -

kj2005

This is a Toyota company package, which may compete with a local dealer's package. I would look at the link below and then call the dealer and speak to someone in the service dept once you have the specifics. I was shocked at the difference in cost and that allegedly the dealer would charge for unneeded services at 15, 30, and 45K miles.


Toyota Prepaid Maintenance

sam112

Purchased 2006 Toyota Sienna LE, package #3 at DARCARS in Frederick MD for: $23915. Floor mats, cargo net, etc. are included in above price.
The price does NOT include: $100 Dealer fee + $15 MD Temp Tag + $4 Tire Recycle Fee + GA Sales tax + GA tag + GA title fees. (Approx. total cost: $25550).

Visited Fitzmall first in Gaithersburg MD. They were not able to match the price. Not pleased with there interaction either. The sales person kept trashing DARCARS.

Pleased with the customer service experience @ DARCARS in Frederick. The sales person was responsive, courteous and detailed.

Very few LE package #3 were available in south-east region (only 1 in Silver color). Cherokee County Toyota had the lowest price in Atlanta area, but not low enough.

amrombe

Bought an '06 Sienna with Package 3- Traction Control, floor mats, door sills,etc. in MD on 12/31 for $25,050 OTD including taxes, tags, and fees, without a trade. Dealt with a couple different dealers and this is the best deal we found. We were the last customer of the night on New Years Eve!

kj2005

Incidentally, KC Summers Toyota no longer deeper discounts the prepaid maintenance or the extended warranty plans from Toyota. A business manager there confirmed they simply were not making any money from selling the plans at such discounts.

hansienna

MUCH better deal than my friend got Sept 23, 2005 on his 2006 Sienna LE with Pkg # 2 plus carpeted floormats (listed as 2 entries on the factory window sticker). MSRP $ 26,945 and his price was $ 25,698 + $ 239 Dealer Doc Fee + taxes + state license fees.
Your experience is similar to the deal my nephew got on his 2005 Odd EX (cloth) on November 30,2004 when he paid $ 25,000 and some odd dollars for the Odd EX that had MSRP $ 28,510.
A person can obviously save money by being patient and buying from the dealership on the LAST day of the month.

coolyahoo

Where did you buy it with BZ option? I have been looking for LE with BZ but in bay area mostly it is with BW option. I would like to have power seats that comes with BZ.

sam112

Could you share price without tax & fees? what color?
What dealership did you get it at in MD?
