    The dealership where I bought my Sienna from is Schaumburg Toyota. It is at 875 W Golf Rd, Schaumburg, IL 60194. Please note that I got this price only because I bought the extended warranty. Had I not bought this warranty, they wouldn't have given me the Sienna at this price. They gave me $135 discount on remote starter (Pursuit Series Model PRO-9056TW) and mudgards (totaling $660). So they reduced the price of the car to 27465 from 27600 and added 660 to the total cost.

    I am going to return the extended warranty within 30 days as I think I overpaid for it considering the St. Louis dealer is selling the same 8 yr/100k platinum warranty for less than 1000.

    Also note that since I paid for the remote starter and mudguards on the day i bought the car, these things got included in my warranty. Although the remote starter is after market. At least this is what I was told. I am not sure how much of it is indeed true.

    Toyota does not offer leather seats with LE. It only comes with XLE. However, dealers offer leather seats with LE and these leather seats are after market.
    If you want to buy such leather seats dont pay more than 1300.

    Just want to share some info........

    I purchased a Blizzard pearl Sienna Limited AWD with the Limited premium package (NAV and DVD), roof rail cross bars, floormats and doorsill protectors, remote start, and mudguards for $42,400 (including freight) plus tags and tax.

    I also got the Platinum ($0 deductible) 8yrs/100000 miles extended warrenty for $1200. I know I could have got the warrenty from another dealer for cheaper price, but I like to see what I'm getting.

    The dealer is Alexandria Toyota in Northern Virginia (DC area). The transaction was quick and relatively hassle-free. In and out the door in about three hours, including the test drive. And I like how their finance dept. never tried to sell anything else beside the extended warrenty.

    Could someone comment on quality of aftermarket leather on Toyota Sienna LE or similar vehicles? This LE trim meets our need and we would like to get leather put into the car as well. The jump from LE to XLE is about $3k and this aftermarket route will only make sense if cost is close to $1k. But any feedback on how the quality of leather is? Is it expected to last the life of the vehicle?

    I went to Westchester after reading this post....spoke to their internet sales got a quote over the phone which they are pretty reluctant to do...had them send it to me in an email and also had my current car appraised at a dealership in wappingers falls.....Well, let me tell you what a scam Westchester is running....they added 1250 in prep fees, which they say they are working on...So to save 400 on car they are addiing 1250 in prep fees and they hosed me on the trade in value by over 2000. Definitely wont be buying a car from them....The prices went down in MD on the AWD Siennas.....anyone have any experiance at FitzAutomall or used thier internet prices in NY as a negotiating tool?

    Hi, I am in a time crunch since I have to finalize the lease by tomorrow. I have a lease offer for XLE, FWD, 8-Seater:

    -12k/year, 36 months.
    - Nothing down (only 1st month payment) = $482/month (includes 8% tax, title etc etc).

    Is this a reasonable deal?
    Please help.
    Happy Holidays!

    That stinks that you had such a bad experience. I apologize for referring them.

    My experience was quite different. They honored the price quoted on the phone, and did not add any additional fees (in fact, their email signature brags about no added/hidden fees).

    Wappinger Falls gives good prices too. They were just a bit far from NYC.

    can you tell me about the lexus extended warranty where did you buy it and how much you paid and how many years/miles
  • sue2paksue2pak Member Posts: 25
    Hi,

    I'm glad you had a pleasant experiance with them, but unfortuately as far as i am concerned, Westchester Toyota doesnt honor thier price match guarentee or anything. I had called them back to tell them how disappointed I was with their service. When I called, their business manager talked with me and was very polite and acted as if he would make the deal go through, We told them the only way we step foot through their door again was if they sent us a bill of sale with everything in writing. Needless to say, they sent us one with the wrong number and took days to get back to us and when we finally talked them about the wrong numbers, the sales associate had the gall to say that the business manager will purposely say anything to get the customer in the door but can't deliver the price. That is not how I want to do business. Plus, when I showed them a lower price, all they can say is that there are fees so the price will be higher, but they can't take the time to check it out.
    DCH Wappingers was definitely a lot nicer, and I would actually spend the extra money if they were within a couple hundred dollars.

    I had a similar experience at Germain Sarasota, really yanked me around and would not honor there own deal to me which I had in writing!!!
    I called toyota and expected some results but was given the brush off "All of the dealers are independently owned operated" they just close there eyes to what the dealers are doing as long as the numbers are good.

    I fear that most dealers are that way?

    my Sienna price is 28361 with added leather, the leather is the same as the higher model since the leather is ordered from Toyota. the leather is also backed by the 3/36k since the leather was bought from the dealership. I paid less than 1k for the leather. my price without the leather is 27,465 and with leather 28,361

    i cannot post the out the door price since i have a trade in but my gap is only 325

    I hope this helps

    The Lexus warranty was for my 2006 Lexus RX330, and I purchased it from a Michigan dealership in November 2009. It was the Platinum with zero deductible, 8 years/75,000 miles. paid about $1600. I will check my records for the name of the dealership.

    The Toyota warranty I just purchased for my 2012 Sienna was the Platinum with zero deductible for 8 years/100,000 miles, $990 from Molle Toyota in Missouri.
  • carchic1carchic1 Member Posts: 22
    I just got a deal of $34K + TTC for a 2012 XLE AWD with no packages (but includes paint protection and mat guards) in the NY Metro area. Invoice seems to be $33,500 but couldn't get anyone lower. Did I get a good deal?
  • lxowner2lxowner2 Member Posts: 51
    I haven't "used" it yet (since my 2012 is still under the original warranty period), but I just got the official warranty book from Toyota, and called Toyota Financial Services and confirmed all the specs (Platinum warranty, zero dedictible, 8 years/100,000 miles, can take vehicle to any Toyota dealership).

    It all seems legit. In my research, I saw another Toyota dealership is online and equally aggressive with pricing (Acton Toyota). Their prices are about $50-$100 more though.
  • lxowner2lxowner2 Member Posts: 51
    Sue2pak, did you speak to the BDC manager? He is the boss of the salespeople. I don't understand why you are getting your chain yanked around.

    NJ dealerships are aggressive with pricing, but they charge high doc fees since they are not regulated like NY.

    The other dealership which is selling at invoice is Queenboro Toyota. Email their internet department. They give you a quote, vehicle specs, etc., and charge you no bogus fees. I was getting the car $1000 under invoice, so did not go with Queensboro Toyota. But I went in there, and they are honest people. I think the guy's name is Bruce.

    Hi,

    Just paid $28206 for a 2012 LE v6 with security -immobilizer + carpets + roof rack crossbars and $1225 for 7yr/75k platinum 0 ded. TEC .

    Comments ?
  • bizziebizzie Member Posts: 22
    Hi,
    I am trying to decide on a lease before the current incentive runs out.
    For 36k miles/36 months.

    1. XLE, without any add-ons: With nothing down and taxes/tilte included in payment, I have an offer for 480/month , with first month's payment $480 due at signing.

    2. XLE + Nav (no DVD): same assumption as above and $580/month.
    Nav only is adding about $100 month.

    Please advise.
    Thank you.
  • mejazzmejazz Member Posts: 6
    "only adding $100 per month" ! That comes out to be $3600 over your 36 month lease... Ummm... A portable navigation system costs around $100 - do the math.
  • babyddbabydd Member Posts: 3
    I am in for a group deal on the XLE as well if it's not too late.
  • hyundai2011hyundai2011 Member Posts: 15
    I have bought a Sienna XLE V6 8-passanger FWD with navigation, Roof rack Cross bars, Carpet floot mats & Door Sill protectors, wheel locks and cargo net for 33150 + 750 rebate + ttl. I had an option to choose either $750 cash or $250 with special financing. I opted for the 2nd one. So, my price was 33150 + 500 = 33650 + ttl.

    The MSRP on the vechicle was $37820 + price for wheel locks and cargo net. Hopefully this is a good deal.

    I highly recommend this particular dealer (San Francisco bay area). I will PM the details if any one needs it.

    Did anyone have experience buying a Sienna in PA, but registering in NJ because of a NJ residence. Can you please let me know how does it work? The PA dealer said they handle tags and registration for NJ, and will mail me the NJ plates. Do I need to do anything, such as contact NJ DMV after purchase? What about inspection sticker? NJ suppose to give 4 years inspection sticker, but I still have PA inspection sticker on my window. Any comments? Thank you.
  • jkwok777jkwok777 Member Posts: 1
    Hi can you PM the name of your dealer?
  • bizziebizzie Member Posts: 22
    The lease with optios seems way too expensive.
    I am thinking of just buying the XLE and then add after-market items for less than 1/3 the price.

    The best proce I have been given for XLE+floor mat is $32,500.
    Does anyone have a dealer that will deal in the NY area?
  • babyddbabydd Member Posts: 3
    Sounds like you got a good deal. I am not sure how to PM, but please post the dealership name. Thanks.
  • hyundai2011hyundai2011 Member Posts: 15
    ok. As per this forum's rule: "You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information."

    The dealership name: Toyota Vacaville in Vacaville, CA. I am not sure how to send other details via email. Let me look around and if I find a way I will send the other details to your email.
  • hyundai2011hyundai2011 Member Posts: 15
    ok. use this link to see my review in yahoo local. It has the contact info.

    After having initial communications with the husband and wife team at VT, they have not been responsive to my last emails--two days now since I sent them three emails in a row asking them basic questions and then following up on the status. This is one of my pet peeves--shouldn't salespeople be prompt??

    Got the following lease quote for a 2012 Sienna XLE with Prem Package (Navigation, 8 Pass/FWD):

    36 Month Lease
    $542 per month pmt
    $2500 due at signing (also covers 1st months pmt)
    $20650 residual (what I would pay if I bought it at the end of 3 years)

    what do you guys think?
  • ginstarxiaoginstarxiao Member Posts: 6
    This site helped me. Now it's my time to help others. I live in Atlanta , Georgia. I was looking for LE, but I finally bought a SE. I like the style and the wheel. Here is the number: 2012 Sienna SE, Options: Moonroof, $850. All State Tinting: $399. Floor Mat $399. Toyotaguard Elite: $699. The MSRP: $36500. I paid $31400+ TTL. No dealer fee! That is $5100 off MSRP. I am happy with the price. I like Sienna better than the Odyssey that I owned before. I am trying to buy the extended 8yr/100K Platinum warranty for under $1000 that some folk bought from on line. I am also trying to buy a engine remote start for Sienna. Any one know a good price?
  • ginstarxiaoginstarxiao Member Posts: 6
    Is the warranty policy legit?
    I would like to buy 8yr/100K platinum policy. Is the price $980?
    Thanks
  • ginstarxiaoginstarxiao Member Posts: 6
    How did you buy the warranty from Molle? Did you pay with credit card and then they sent you policy document? Do they mail you some kind of warranty certificate? Is the warranty actually from Toyota?
  • jjjohn64jjjohn64 Member Posts: 6
    I bought a 2012 Sienna LE V6 from Schaumburg Toyota on Golf Rd in Illinois. I paid $500 for a 2-way up to 2000 feet remote starter when I bought the car. The dealer installed a 1200 feet remote starter. When I looked up the remote starter online, I found this information. So I talked to the dealer and said that I will seek a $100 credit for it. I was told that the 1200 feet starter was the best one they got. Obviously, I was ready to take it to next step and trust me, I meant legal action. Although I did not say this to the dealer but I think they figured and offered to install a 2000 feet remote.

    Here in Chicago, it snowed a few days ago. Today both of my Sienna's sliding doors got stuck half way while opening as well as closing. This is after the fact that I cleaned all snow on my car. I am not happy with this. My wife and I had to wait in below freezing weather with our baby to open the door.

    I have 3 other Toyotas in my family and I am upset that my 2012 Sienna let me down today. Obviously, I will take it back to the dealer to get this fixed. But it looks like this is a common problem on Siennas. Just search it on google and you will find plenty of posts. Other than this, it has been an excellent car so far (past 1200 miles)
  • silverskysilversky Member Posts: 1
    I bought a 2012 XLE + NAV this week from a dealership in Montgomery MD. Total is 33200 before TTL, which I am satisfactory. The dealer is quite responsive.
  • xinxinrenxinxinren Member Posts: 9
    Had a very bad experience with James Toyota Scion in Flemington NJ. What they do is to give you a competitive price, and when you are onsite, they increase the price by several hundred dollars for whatever reason. (Even you have the confirmation of their price guarantee). They then try to convince you that the increased price is still a good deal. But when you insist that they should sell the car for the original price they guaranteed, the manager will tell you they change their mind.

    It is just waste time to deal with them. Just couldn’t believe they claim they are one of the best Toyota dealers in New Jersey. Do not ever want to do business with them!
  • lxowner2lxowner2 Member Posts: 51
    The policy is legit. I called Molle and paid by credit card, and then received the official documentation by mail. Since I am OCD, I then called Toyota directly to confirm all the terms of my extended warranty (length of coverage, mileage, deductible, platinum plan, my contact info) and it all was in the their system. Price was $990, and there was no tax since I am out of state. As I said, I did this with my Lexus two years ago with an out of state Lexus dealer and it was all legit. You are not married to the dealership you purchased your car for buying your extended warranty. But of course you can go their service center (and they will gladly welcome you) for extended warranty covered repairs.

    Hey Everybody,
    I also bought from Molle, after advice by lxowner2 and it's really work. I save almost $1000.00 vs to my local TX Dealer...Go...Molle..Go

  • griffey501griffey501 Member Posts: 2
    never bought a new car before, was wondering what i should expect as far as haggling price here in the east bay area/san fran, sacramento area.
    WILL PAY CASH UPFRONT. want a 2012 toyota sienna XLE with premium package & entertainment package (navigation, blue tooth, DVD, rear camera, remote door entry, etc)

    the MSRP at two different dealers are $39,250 and $40,750 (minor options make up for the price difference).
    1)realistically, how much should i expect dealer to come off of the MSRP?
    2)Or what should be my bottom line price (not including TTL) if i am paying cash or does cash make a difference?

    any insight you all can provide will help me before i go in the dealership.

    I am also in the Atlanta area and looking for a good deal on Sienna LE. From which dealership did you purchase your SE? Thx.
  • ktkwuktkwu Member Posts: 2
    I got a 2012 XLE AWD with Navigation package in silver without any manufacturer rebate in Sept/2011 from SF Toyota Dealer. The MSRP for my van was $40160 and i got it for 36800; OTD price was 40356. There is a manufacture rebate of $750 and the price should be less if i were to buy now. You should call few dealers to get few quotes over the phone to get a sense of a fair price now.

    Usually dealer is willing to go lower if you choose the finance option since they could earn interest from the loan.
  • ginstarxiaoginstarxiao Member Posts: 6
    I got mine from World Toyota in Chamblee. I got my SE and I like it. They actually gave me $1000 more on my trade-in than Atlanta Toyota would give me. Good luck!
  • sk2000sk2000 Member Posts: 2
    Bought a 2012 Sienna XLE today out the door $32400. My TTL is 1800. Thus my price is 30600 including carpet which is $200. I did not do a trade in. There is $1000 rebate on the sienna.
  • mjan1mjan1 Member Posts: 2
    That's great, what type of rebate, is it specific to the dealership?
  • sk2000sk2000 Member Posts: 2
    Here is the rebate information:
    Rebate is from toyota either a cash back or APR. Available in KS, IA, MO, NE, SD, ND states only. Must take delivery from dealer stock before Jan 31st.
