Financing was similar. They came out with 8.75 but I quickly brought them to 7.0. My credit was good and that meant alot to them.
Good luck
Financed through giggo.com. Applied through Lending Tree.com and had four offers from various lenders in a matter of hours. Accepted the offer from giggo at 7.95% for 60 months. I highly recommend using Lending Tree or giggo.com it made the financing as smooth as silk. They even beat the best offer that Toyota Motor Credit had by nearly .5%.
No problem.
Dealers lie (some).

I've got the same deal from R&G and I think the $400 is the destination charge. By the way,
I live in Sunnyvale. Do any of you know if it is possible to pick up the car in nearby city without having two people driving to San Rafael? Thanx.
One feature few have commented on in regards to "value" is the high priced entertainment systems in some other minis- Windstar/Quest..does anyone think these are really worth the extra $1200?
your comments and thoughts are appreciated..

These numbers are all from Edmunds...They are very accurate (of course dealers will tell you they are not). As far as the warranty goes..... last November (when we purchased our van, our dealer was offering the 7 year no deductible for $650.00 Supposedly this was some half-price special. We declined. Enjoy your Sienna...we love ours!

Sent a single email to 12 select dealerships in the area (used reports at http://www.dc.bbb.org), of which 9 responded within 14 hours. Quotes (all fees included) ranged from 2.37% ($569) to 4.08% ($982) over total invoice (base+options+destination+TDA).
Lessons learned:
- Internet and other (e.g., CarMax) huggle-free prices can be easily beat!
- If you are going to use the $150 discount certificate, order it early; though ordered in time for (and specifying) Saturday delivery, it did not arrived.
- Newly delivered Siennas in this area come with GF (Full Tank of Fuel), and some with DK (Owner Portfolio). Though appear as free of charge on the sticker, the invoice included $7 for DK, $6 for GF.
- Provide a "template" of the response format you want; Though we were specific in our wording, at least half of the dealers did not provide the information we requested in their initial response.
- Make sure ALL FEES are included in the price you get; two dealers tried to quote a price without their "processing fee", that ranged (in Virginia) from $142 to $289.
- Don't shy away from using the phone if needed. A dealer lowered the quote by $200 when we phoned to question the accuracy of the numbers.
- Remember, email method only deals with sale price; Be prepared for dealer to spend hours trying to sell you "protection" packages ($1059!), security/LoJack systems ($759!), and extended warranties ($1599!). Same policy as with drugs: JUST SAY NO [THANKS], even if they offer you them at "dealer cost" *yeah, right*
- Dealer will bend the truth to try and sell you these extras: Since "factory bumper-to-bumper warranty will only cover defects", get extended warranty [which also doesn't cover wear&tear items]; You must have undercarriage protection since "the underside is bare metal" [even if true, it is a zinc alloy which is rustproof]; Get a security system, since "vans are in the top 5 car types stolen" [I'm guessing sedans, motercycles, trucks, and busses are the other four!].
- If you are shopping in Northern Virginia, note that there is 3% Virginia tax, 0.1701% County tax, and Tags/License are $38.50. Suspect same true for other parts of Virginia.
Question: has anyone been able to get a dealer to drop the TDA (Toyota Dealer Advertizing) fee, or otherwise sell a brand new Sienna LE for less than total invoice? None in this area seem to be willing to.
$23,933- LE w/TO,UN & UP(incl. SouthEast &
destination fee)
$199- doc fee
$1,689- sales tax at 7%
$22- title and registration
-------------------------------------
$25,843- drive out with no trade.
I financed with credit union at 6.9%.
Anyway, we made the deal and took the van home that night. We had to return back to the dealership the next day since we still owed him some money. As we were driving there, my wife found a bill of sale to another customer in the glove box. It seemed we were driving a used vehicle! So this is how the van had 1k miles on it! We were upset and showed the bill of sale to the sales manager. The sales manager said the vehicle was not used since the title did not go through DMV. He offered to give us our money back or take $800 off of the price. The new price
$25800 was under his invoice so we took his offer.
By the way, I'd be a bit skeptical about buying a vehicle that is considered "new", which should be on your buyers order, that was previously sold, regardless of whether a title had been issued. Had the title been applied for and just not issued? I'd also call the original buyer and find out why they sold it so soon.
Be aware of the torque converter problem also, especially if your van was manufactured in May, June or July '00.
MSRP Price = $31,029 plus the GN Cargo Net
This includes the LL Luxury Package, EF Rear Bumper Protector and N1 Auto Day/Night mirror with Compass and Outside Temp.
Invoice Total : $27,220
Purchase Price : $27,650 ($430 over invoice)
Of course, plus 6.5% MN tax and $300 license and $15 processing fee.
Good Luck!
Scott
Is anybody else having this problem? Is it too late to expect a dealer to order a 2000 model?
Thanks for any insight you can give.
Thanks, ---Pete
Purchased last Wednesday in No. VA
LE with the following:
EK Rear Bumper protector
UN Extra Value Package
UP Upgrade Package #1
TO Towing Package
TDA + Shipping
All for $25200.
With tax, title, dealer prep ($289!), etc., out the door for $26300+change
Most surprising was absolutely no hassle about extended warranty, paint protection, undercoating, etc.
It was the best deal I was offered in the area. They have been great to work with so far.They seem to be willing to check around the 7 state area for one with the options you would like.
Our local dealer told us that there are still 2000 Siennas that are in inventory at the manufacturing site but wouldn't get to us until the end of August. I also understand from several other dealers that the 2001 Siennas are due into dealerships on August 20th.
I worked with Bob Paulson, who did you work with?

Recommend you modify it based on the lessons learned we posted at http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/engaged/edmund.cgi?&f=0&c=Vans&t=1333&q=199
Of the dealers we dealt with, Lustine Toyota (Woodbridge) and Miller Toyota (Manassas) were the cheapest. These two as well as Yager Toyota (Haggerstown, MD) were most willing to work with us, email and phone, to find exactly what we wanted.
The worst were the Koons (formally Kline) dealers in Arlington and Tysons. Didn't seem to care much about what we wanted versus what they had on the lot, and quoted the highest prices.
Here's the breakdown in price you requested:
Base Model Invoice: $22,148
CA Emission Equipment: $ -0-
TO Towing Package $ 128
UN LE Extra Value Pkg $ 271
UP LE Upgrade Pkg #1 $ 504
EF Bumper Protector $ 36
GN Cargo Net $ 27
DK Owner Portfolio $ 7

Destination: $ 480
TDA: $ 452

Add to that 3.17% VA taxes and $38.50 title and license fees, and you get the out-the-door price.
In your case, total dealer profit of roughly $2159 ($1,225 over invoice, $289 processing fee, $430 holdback, and $215 wholesale fiance).

I understand that TFS subsidizes leases for repeat customers by waiving the security deposit and offering a discount off the bottom line. TFS calls this the "Encore Feature." Earlier, TFS was very up-front in telling me about this program as my current vehicle is about to come off lease and they were trying to throw me a hook. When I called them last week, they said they couldn't discuss the program details with me directly and referred me to the local dealer for more info. When I was looking at the RX 300, the Lexus dealer told me I could get $1000 off the price if I signed again with TFS.
I'm interested to know what other people have experienced. Thanks.
Thanks in advance.
