$28,314 (Invoice you were given, I show $29,278 as the invoice, mine probably includes holdback)
$ 5,063 (Premium Package Invoice)
$ 198 (Floor Mat Invoice)
$ 810 (Destination)
$34,385 (Sub-total for these items)
$ 3051.67 (Tax)
$ 550 (Misc Fees)
$37,986.67 (using your numbers)
Holdback on this is $644 (you are pretty much spot on with your estimate and you need to add that to the net invoice). They also have regional add fees of roughly $654 factored in for a dealer cost of $35,360 and an invoice they will show you of around $36,003. (link below)

If your numbers are correct in what they gave you, I don't think you'll get to $37k OTD. I think you may be able to get to $37.5K with cash in hand ready to go. If the numbers in the link are correct then you will be closer to $38.5k all in OTD.
The Premium Package adds a lot of cost. You can get the NAV and DVD package as stand-alones too, which can lower your cost. The MSRP on one with NAV, Dual Screen DVD Entertainment Package, Mats would be $39,389 here in NC. If you just want the dual screen DVD, you may want to go that route and save a bit.
WI laws protect the customer. If you put down $300 and you don't purchase, you will get that money back.
Let me know if you have any specific questions...
XLE FWD with Premium Package , cross bars, mats with sill protectors
XLE FWD with DVD and NAV cross bars, mats with sill protectors
Thank you very much.
Please provide your email address and I'll send you his contact information. He was extremely nice to work with! We ended up going with Safro, so it will be good to send someone to Heiser.
Thanks a lot
1) I understand the basic difference between AWD and FWD, but given the weight of Sienna, does it really make that much difference in the winter months in Northeast between the 2 versions? Since Honda Odyssey only comes with FWD version, I'm going to assume AWD is not going to make that much difference on a mini van. Am I wrong to assume that? Is FWD Sienna still safe enough to drive in the winter when it's snowing outside? I read on the board that a few people dislike the run flat tires on AWD because they are expensive. Is that the only downside to the run flat tire and AWD?
2) The quote I got from Carsdirect.com is $36,414 + TTL and from a dealer is $36500 + TTL. I don't think these are particularly attractive prices. I see on Fitzmall.com it's asking for $35700 + TTL. What should be considered a 'good' price for this car?
From Carsdirect:
MSRP: $38,820
Invoice: $35,714
Carsdirect Price: $36,414
The only option I added is the XLE Navigation Package: + $2,681
Same option priced on Truecar.com
Dealer cost: $34,829
Factory Invoice: $35,519
Average paid: $37,100
4) A few dealers tried to sway me to go with the Limited version with premium package, but I don't really need the RES. Do you think Limited version is worth the extra price over XLE? At what price point does it make sense to go with Limited edition of Sienna?
3) Anyone in NJ can recommend a dealership that is honest and easy to deal with?
Sorry for the long post and thank you all for your help.
Thanks,
A very confused first time mini-van buyer.
This is a great buy. I am also looking for this kind of deal.
I am also looking into 2011 XLE FWD w/ PM pkg. Could you please clarify whether the $ you paid cash or finance? would you mind sharing the related info. The lowest quote I am getting $35301 + TTL and $34889+TTL in MD, Vs. caldwell in NJ. AM I missing something? I have no previous experience driving/ owning TOYOTA's . Would you briefly share your experience.
I am also comparing 2010 Honda Odysseys EX-L with DVD and NAVI pkg. The offer I am getting is between $31.5-32.5in Central NJ (inclues Destination and afer $1500 Incentive). I am debating which one is better deal the one on 2011 Vs 2010.
Can someone help me guide.
Thanks,
the price you got looks very good especially with 2 yrs maintenance and 100k mile warranty. can you please tell me which dealer you went? I am looking for 2011 xle with similar configuration with remote start and Lojack program.
thanks.
I'm not that familiar with the pricing on the Lojack program. For remote start, add about $400 or so in actual cost.

SE Preferred Package
Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof with Sunshade
Towing Prep Option:
Carpet Floor Mats/Door Sill Protector
MSRP was $34,299, I paid $31,142 ($32,532.83 OTD). I feel like I got a good deal.
Hope this helps someone else negotiate a good deal. I purchased mine from Del Toyota in Thorndale, PA. Worked with the Internet Sales Manager and would highly recommend him. Negotiation was very painless.
Just purchased a SIENNA SLX with Premium Package and Carpet with Door Sill protector.
MSRP $39,528
INVOICE $36228
PAID $35900.
I looked for an SLX with AWD but being in the Southeast they are not very popular and dealers were wanting anywhere from 500-1000 to locate and bring in. The problem I was having was finding the premium package in the SLX. I dont know why anyone would buy a family van without a rear DVD player. Unless your not using it as such. I was pretty suprised to find so many available without one.
Anyways... I think we got a pretty good deal. I used my local Toyota Dealer to find the car, give me the print out on it. They lied to me and told me it was in Knoxville when in reality it was in cookville, some 120 miles closer to Nashville. I called the dealer and offered 35000 even they came back with 36600. Eventually we settled on a 35900. OTD at 39000 even. My local dealers best price was 36600 on that same vehicle. So my wife and I took the 60 mile drive and saved $700.
This is my first minivan and this one drives like a cadillac. Very impressive thus far. This is our second new vehicle in 4 years. We last purchased a new Camry SE in 07
The vehicle is being special ordered. I asked for a copy of the dealer invoice and all
vehicle and package agree on price with your web site. I was e-mailed a computer printout with no factory identification.
At the bottom of the printout are several items:
Destionation Charge $810. (sounds high by probably correct)
TDA (Dealer Advertising) $500. Seems OK
Dealer Holdback $799. (why are they charging for this-it seems outrageous)
Whsl. Financial Reserve $399. I was told it was for dealer floorplanning
(I'm paying for my car upon delivery-there should not be any finance charge)
It seems to me that they are trying to charge me for items that do not pertain to me
and should not be charged to me. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks!

Prices $31087+TTL
Used email to contact about 10 dealers in this market and surrounding (as far East as Milwaukee). We didn't want an XLE with navigation(my parents have a Lexus and Toyota and the nav is not very good) or rear entertainment (parenting choice on our part). Very rare to find an XLE without a package. Had to wait a few weeks for delivery.
Price is higher than what has been published in other markets, but I worked it down from over $31,900 which was the lowest quote received in the first round of bidding. Also, dealer offered an additional trade-in value of $1000 compared to what I had received from others once we got into the dealership to negotiate that. Overall pretty happy so far.
I contacted several dealers around San Jose via email.
This is the best one in this month.
MF=0.00042 is ~1% APR.
Price= $27,900
Residual = $17,151
Money Factor = .00042 (--> ~1.0% APR)
Drive Off = $1000
Monthly payment $ 362/month for 36 months at 12,000 miles
I live in Oklahoma city and got a lowest quote of 34,757+TTL for
2011 XLE Model - 5348 FWD 8 PSGR with following options:
EY - Entertainment Package
WT - Window Tint
CF - Premium Carpet Mat Set
CB - Cross Bars
P3 - Vehicle Shield Plus Package
any opinion is greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance.
I would NEVER buy warranty from credit union or anyone else. They will never honor warranties beyond a certain few hundred dollars. Personal experience! Most of these companies are fly-by-night comanies.
Thanks to everyone's tips I've been reading over the past 30 pages, I did some research using Edmunds and Carbuyingtips.com.
I called a bunch of places around me and got quotes between 36k and 37k plus the TT & doc fee.
I used Zag and got a quote from a Northern Virginia dealer for $ 35,246 + taxes, tags, processing fee. The quote that Zag originally gave for this dealer was $35,091 which the salesman said he will honor, but he said that the van comes with floor mats and said that msrp for that accessory was $324 but he'll give me those for $154, hence the $35,246 quote. I'm guessing it's the CF package from Toyota's website, since that price matches that item (mats + door sill protector).
I have a car to trade in, and I know that in Virginia the taxes I pay will be based on the difference in the final price of the Sienna minus my trade in price.
My brain has been over cooked :sick: since Friday calling places and talking to people over and over again. I thank God that so far, I haven't had to do this kind of stuff as often. I am shopping around and I am hoping someone might match or beat this deal. Can anyone confirm if this is a good deal ? :confuse:
Thanks a billion in advance for your help.
-wbr
I did my research thanks to this board and no way could i get 33,800 for that car in the color that I wanted. I actually found the car is hard to come by in the dark mica with bisque interior. I had been eyeing that car for about 3 months until I finally purchased it.
So far, I really love the car except when I press on the gas pedal i can hear the gas being guzzled up. Kids love it, I love it, husband will love it too
We are in S. CA. Fitzmall.com is a great resource to see what others are paying and what they are getting also for the price.
Have to say we almost walked away from the dealer b/c it took forever as in 12 hours over three different days for paperwork and then a glitch but it's done with....
Too bad we don't have fitzmall on this part ofthe coast and the dealers over here do not have a whole lot of inventory.
Having said that, is this a good price to buy? Also, what's up with Sienna's government crash testing numbers? How come they are still not out?
Thanks in advance!
It was actually the first minivan to get the Top Safety Pick designation, which now requires them to pass a roof crush resistance test as well.
Don't let that hold you back...
I had a bad experience with the run-flat already on a trip to Chicago. Nobody seems to have one on hand when I popped one from a pot hole. If you are away from home, be careful. If you get a leak you may wait several days for your shop/dealer to get one, so your car will just sit until then. For an 18-inch, the price is not that bad (I got $202 each from a big online place; dealer quoted me freaking $280)
2. I got mine about $500 below invoice in April in New England. I think you should not let that "invoice" number fool you into thinking that the dealer somehow cannot go below that (they still make money off you).
4. I personally regret very very very much getting the Limited AWD with Prem Pkg (MSRP 45,333, got it for 39,500). I think the van is PHENOMENAL for the LE price point. Anything above that, I personally think the interior quality (or lack thereof) and workmanship overall is disappointing (your example would cost at least $34k, and I don't think it feels like a $34000 vehicle). And I am very disappointed in the navigation system (poor accuracy, slow) so I would also recommend that you at least try out the navigation before you plunk down your hard-earned money on it.
Salesman couldn't have been nicer. Like any dealer, they pushed a bit for extended warranty, anti-theft device, etc., but I had no interest in any of it. I was out the door for exactly what they advertised. It helped that I'm not picky at all about color - they said if I want a specific color, they'd get it, but cost would be $800 higher, which gets you more or less to invoice price. Not bad at all if you insist on a particular color.
I visited several other Toyota dealers in my area (near NYC) and really didn't get a good vibe at any of them. I had one guy promise to match or beat any price, so I sent him the Fitzmall price, which he said was impossible! Nice promise... He still had the nerve to ask me to come in so we could negotiate a price! Almost funny.
I'm also looking for Sienna in Bay Area and cannot go and buy from fitzmall
Here is the breakup:
Price: $33,700
Service Contract: $450
Tax : 3120
DMV: $550
OTD: $37885
Didn't buy the extended warrenty as the dealer didn't offer the Toyota VSA. He was pushing for the warrenty from a non-Toyota company. So, now the search starts for a good extended warranty. Also surpirsingly, the car doesn't have an alarm and the dealer was quoting $500 for it. I am not sure if we need one (as the vehicle has an immobilize buit in) but definitely $500 is a lot of money for the alarm. Appreciate any help deciding on the warranty and geting the basic alarm. Would after marketbe a good chouce?
This formum has been a lot of help! Thank you!!
In the market for either a Sienna or an Odyssey lease. I was quoted by a local dealer for a 2011 Sienna LE V6 8 seater for $450 a month which includes 15K miles/year, warranty coverage for extra 3K miles/year, and remote start. This particular LE includes bluetooth, backup cam, and dual power sliding doors. Just wanted to see whether this is a good deal. Honda is offering killer deals on the 2010 Odyssey to make room for their 2011s. I can probably score an EX-L with Nav for around $470 a month but I like the styling and performance of the Sienna so I wanted to find out whether this deal is OK. Thanks!
Not sure if you all remember me but figured I'd post an update. After dealing with several dealers in the NY, NJ, CT region the lowest price I found for an XLE with Premium Package FWD 6 Cyl was 35,100 from a dealer in Long Island. I have since put the search on hold but may try Car Woo in a few weeks. Has anyone had any experience with that?
Thanks,
O
Plus they reserve the 6 speed auto for Touring and Touring Elite models only. 248hp and a 5EAT vs. Sienna's 266hp/6EAT on most models.
Even at that lower price you get a backup cam on the Sienna LE and only a one-line display on Ody.
All Odys do get VCM, finally.
Sticker: 35460
Paid: 31789
Trade: '02 Higlander w/ 140k ($7300)
$0 deductible extended warr.: $1250 (100k miles)
Lesson learned: Get multiple appraisals of trade in and mulitiple price quotes for the new vehicle. Our appraisals for the trade ranged from $3k to 6000, to 7000 to 7300... used the 7300 quote along with the 31789 price quote to bludgeon our way to the deal - first quote for the vehicle was 34700. A bit time consuming, but I figure that we saved $2000 or so for an extra 20 hours of work... not a whole lot of jobs out there that pay $100/hr these days...
