The lids that come with the organizers are pretty sturdy. I wouldn't stand on them, and I don't know that I'd stack 40 pound bags of concrete on them or anything, but they are really sturdy. We put all kinds of bags, packages, and our baby stroller on top of it.
Not sure what you mean by 2 stories of grocery bags. If you are thinking of something like a shelf, so that the top bags are not sitting directly on the bottom bags, then the cargo organizers can do this to a certain degree. The limitation is that they are only about 10 or 12 inches deep (not sure offhand, and my sienna's at the body shop right now, so I can't measure). This means you can put delicate items in the containers (eggs, fruit, etc) and then stack the rest of your stuff on the lids without crushing the delicate items. But you can't stand up cereal boxes inside there or anything (though you could probably stand them up on their side.
As far as the bag hooks, I don't think they're really good for hanging, but rather for keeping the bags from sliding around (especially if you've only got a few bags). So think of them more as anchors rather than hangers.
Edit: another good use for them that I've seen suggested elsewhere is, since the bottoms/sides are waterproof, you could put ice in there to use it as a makeshift cooler.
Edit: Checked online and it looks like they are 8 inches deep. Guess I overestimated.
I think I might go for the base XLE with the cargo organizer, floor mats and roof rack cross bars. Zag's best price on an XLE is 30594. I am hoping the Toyota close by home matches the price.
Thanks for all the help.
Thanks for the help.
I was a little concerned that those special prices are all because of this whole 'year end' hype (or not hype)
In general, I don't think dealers are so motivated by end of the year sales. If anything, I think they tend to be more motivated by end of month sales to meet monthly quotas.
Anywayz, I put a deposit of 500$ and hopefully I can get the gray mica xle soon. Thanks to ldkronos for tips and the dealership (Libertyville Toyota). The dealership was great to deal with. I know I could have probably gotten a better deal on the trade in but didn't want to waste time and money haggling with other dealers when this dealership was honest to begin with.
I got the van from Mechanicsville Toyota in Richmond, VA.
I see that LE driver seat is all manual while the XLE has manual 8 way adjustment but power lumbar adjustment. What does power lumbar mean on XLE.
Thanks

In addition to regular "base" inclusions, mine would include:
tow prep package
back up cam w/ 3/5" display
blue tooth
floor mats
roof rack
door sill protectors
$33,900 out the door. Good price?
Are mud guards worth it?
Any other extras we should consider?
Where do you live and what is the tax rate? Have you checked zag prices for a handful of zipcodes within the distance you are willing to go to get it? A quick check on zag shows about $32,866+TTL in Chicago.
Mud guards: Don't care for them myself, but I've seen a someone suggest they are good for keeping rocks from flinging up and chipping the paint (especially if you drive on gravel roads a lot). No idea if that's really true.
Others: I really like the cargo organizers. I've posted about them a few times in the last month, so go back and read my previous posts.
Question...
I've had my vehicle for a month. What are my options for an extended warranty from Toyota and what is a good price for it?
I'm trying to find the best deal for my new car. The Sienna SE 2011 with preferred package. But I'm new at this, so I need a little help. The last deal I received from a dealer is:
SE 8 Pass
Model Year: 2011
Exterior: Predawn Gray - Super White
Total Out of the door w/7% tax and $120 tag charge
Preferred package included. No more options. Everything included. No hidden fees.
$34,000 out of the door.
Is this the best I can get or expect?
Please. A little help...
Regards
Francisco
Details:
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 registered it in Delaware so no tax, but 3.5% title fee:
Good Luck
Can you give me the name of the dealer so I can asked them for a quote? Do you think is going to be a different price here in Florida. If yes, I don't have a problem paying to bring the Sienna here.
Regards.

Lake City, FL
MSRP: $33,100
Invoice: $31,144
Your Price: $29,894 + $500 documentation fee
Add 7% sales tax and a rough estimate of $200 for plates and title, that comes to about $32,700 out the door. It may be possible to find it even cheaper by plugging in various other zip codes in your area, but at the very least that's a MUCH better price than you got.
I’m also looking for the same vehicle and the best price I got was from USAA Bank.
Dealer: I-95 Toyota in Georgia
zip code:31315

I'd presume they put the new parts in the recalled model, so it's probably the same one way or the other.
http://www.toyota.com/recall/2011-sienna.html
Dealers have vans which have been recalled and are waiting for parts from Toyota. They cannot sell them until the repairs have been done.
Should be fine either way. It should not be overly complicated to fix.
-- SE Package
-- Moonroof
-- Crossbars
-- Carpet
-- Towing package
XLE
- Crossbars
-- Carpet
I can get both for ~$31,300 (includes invoice, but not tax, title, etc)
Thoughts on SE vs XLE?
1) no anti-theft on the SE (so you'd have to add the VIP alarm or an aftermarket)
2) no power 3rd row windows on SE
3) mirror is different (looks like SE is just a plain mirror?)
other than that, I think it's really just a matter of what you prefer.
Thanks! Any thoughts on the pricing? I see some have gotten this set up for around $30,500 but didn't know how hard they worked to get it.

I just added Viper 5901 alarm and starter for $550 and LED dome lights. It's awsome, much better than the factory starter. I also bought HD conversion kit for $175 and waiting on the delivery.

MSRP as configured: $34,989 (Include $699.00 destination fee)

Whats the difference between the two?
BTW, the sum of the contents individually seems to be match the zag pricing ie., if you add up the prices for the first aid kit, floor mats + sill appliques and cargo nets it matches the zag pricing.
+ TDA ($570)
+ Destination Charge ($810)
+ Gasoline (10.08)
+ Dealer Holdback ($647)
+ Wholesale Financial Reserve ($323)
(The amounts mentioned are for a Sienna XLE I'm considering)
Thanks in advance for your responses!
Aside from that, It's one of those mystery questions that I don't know how many people even know the answer to. I tried to figure it out for my purcahse. I got my LE for $1700 under invoice (and all options/accessories price at invoice). $1000 of that was a rebate, so the dealer had to cover $700 under invoice. That eats up most of the holdback and reserve. They got $150 doc fee, and they also got to keep $30 of the sales tax when they filed the sales tax form with the state. Then they have to pay the salesman his commission, pay for the guy who cleaned up the vehicle, the F&I guys time and all the other people that spent time on the deal. They had to pay the guy who installed the remote start. They had to pay to overnight fedex me some paperwork a few weeks later. They were originally going to pay to fedex me the cargo organizers, but they managed to get those in time.
Just based on what I know, I'm not sure how they did any better than break even on my deal. There has got to be a lot more money coming from somewhere than we typically know. Or maybe the did just break even. Perhaps they count on you to buy extra warranties and service contracts to make their profit, and if you don't bite they don't actually make anything. But my gut tells me there's got to be more money in it somewhere.
They probably get their accessories below invoice pricing too. I've seen a number of accessories being sold online by toyota dealers at prices below what zag lists as the invoice (ex: first aid kit was $21 invoice but it sells on ebay from a dealer for $14 shipped. wheel locks are $40 invoice but I saw them for $33+shipping). I'm assuming these dealers aren't selling these items at a loss (plus eating ebay/credit card fees) so there's got to be something there. But who knows.
