If it's not against Board Policies (Steve_Host?)would you mind telling us who you dealt with at Toyota Marin? If board does not allow posting of names (I think I saw something about that), would you please email me? (addy in profile)
TIA!
It's fine to name the dealer and the location. (The blurb you saw is at the top of the discussion).
Steve, Host

Contact KC Summers Toyota in Mattoon Il. That is where I bought my van and they will offer you the Extra Care Platinum 7yr/100k/0 Ded for $795. If you don't need 100k coverage, you can get 7yr/75k/0 Ded for $500.
You can email me for contact info if you like
Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to lend some insight.
I don't think your profile has your internet address.Could you share the e-mail address so that we can then e-mail you for the name of the internet sales person at Fred Anderson. Congratulations on the good deal you got. I am in market for XLE,FWD with package #16.I am in PA but can visit NC for the good deal. Thanks in advance

I've just updated my profile, you should be able to email me now.
I am from the Boston area and just purchased a new Sienna XLE FWD at $450 over invoice. I actually had a dealer on the Cape offer me invoice for an XLE AWD, however the distance, color and overall extra cost of AWD were deterrents. You should also be able to get any warranty at $50-$75 over dealer cost. If you plan on financing, go through a Credit Union, CapOne, or another on line lender to get the best rate possible, if you have good credit the Toyota dealer should be able to beat it. If you go in blind, expect the dealer to inflate his margins as much as possible on the car, warranty, APR, and trade in. Bottom line --> BE PREPARED!
When you are 100% decided on the exact Sienna you want I would email 10-20 local dealers (check out the Toyota website for addresses). Tell them that you are ready to buy immediately from the first dealer that can offer $500 over invoice for the car. You may want to have some alternate colors choices in mind just in case. Also, even if you do not have a car to trade in I would mention that you MAY be trading in a car. (A dealer might be willing to give you a great price on the car thinking he will get it back on the trade in -but you know better!).
Be sure to do homework and find out what a truly FAIR price is for your trade in. Check out NADA, Kelley Bluebook, Edmunds, etc... Check out www.boston.com to see what similar cars are RETAILING for used to get a target figure in mind. If they do not meet it, simply tell them you will sell it on your own. Remember be courteous but firm, they are just doing their jobs.
my dealer informed me today that he found out we were lucky to have them built on at the factory.
Seems that you can't add the Toyota boards on after the fact.
seems odd to me, but just wanted to pass that along to anyone on the fence with the running boards.
I am a big fan of running boards on minivan. I saw several Siennas with the OEM running boards on. They are about 1" or more extended from the side. It is not good for parking.
Thanks so much for the great advice! Would you be able to share with me the names of the dealers you contacted? Which one did you go with? It would be greatly appreciated b/c I'd be willing to drive outside the Hartford, CT area to get a worthwhile deal. I feel putting together a deal via internet departments is the way to go. Thanks again.
Can anyone recommend a good dealer in the Miami (preferably) or Ft. Lauderdale areas?
From their websites they all seem to have a $575 processing fee. Could this be the Toyota ad fee? Dealers up north don't seem to have this. Looks like built in bucks for the dealer to me.
One other question, I have seen different transport charges listed. Edmunds says $540, but some dealers charge $595. Are they just tacking on a few extra bucks for themselves? I thought it was a flat fee.
Thanks in advance!

Insist to see the invoice. A difference below $700 is reasonable. $911? No way!

I got offered from a certain dealership in Mattoon,IL:
Toyota Autocare Premium Prepaid Maintenance (4yr/55,000miles):$630
Toyota Platinum Warranty (7yr/100,000miles/$0deductible): $795
I'd like to know what other people have paid for those. Any comments ?
regards,
Mike
(Pvt owner) He's asking $20,500
Any thoughts on this? Anyone with a '02 LE that can attest to their reliability?
Thanks in advance
www.safrotoyota.com. Check their new car inventory list and one of them is listed at this incredibly low price.
Seriously, I am sure this is a typo, but kind of funny. I note they list 16 Siennas in stock, 13 LE's, 2 XLE's and one XLE limited.
Doesn't look like there is much of a Sienna shortage in my area.
The other dealerships I contacted were Rose (couldn't beat the price), Leith (told me to take the other dealership's offer), Fred Anderson (didn't return repeated calls), and Modern. A caution on Modern. On two separate occasions I received price offers from them only to be told when I was ready to buy that they gave me an incorrect quote (feigning confusion over what option package I wanted). One such mistake, maybe, but twice?! You know the old saying...
I financed it with Capital One: 3.49% for 60 months-- no one else came close.
Thanks for all the valuable information from Edmunds and their posters. You guys are great.
Vehicle: XLE AWD GK(#17) and CF (mats and sill protector) in Salsa Red Perl with no other options
MSRP: $35071
Dealer fees: $90
OTD: $35161
Discount: $2319
NET: $32842

I got mine at Vic Toyota in St Joseph, MO. If you dont mind the drive, this the best dealer in the Mid West. Its the most low pressure, straight forward, easy buying experience top to bottom.
If you e-mail me I can send you the information I gathered in my search (which dealers not to bother with) and the contact information that you will need. There are some St. Louis dealers which dicsount now but to get lowest price you will have to drive some.
I'm also looking for a Sienna in the St. Louis area, and would be interested in your information. Your e-mail isn't visible on your profile. This is my first post on this board. Thanks
Anyway, I dealt with Fred Anderson Toyota (on Glenwood) stricly via emails and got a greal deal. XLE FWD pkg #17 Artic Frost Pearl + floor mats for $28900 + tax, fees... That's the best deal I found from contacting all the dealers around the triangle and triad. Email me if you want the name of the salesperson I dealt with, he's very pleasant to do business with.
Salespeople move around a lot so our restriction on naming them shouldn't discourage you from posting the dealer. A good dealer should hire and retain good salespeople anyway, you'd think.
Thanks!
Steve, Host
This dealership is also the lowest place to purchase a Toyota Extended Warranty. Since I purchased my Sienna there, I got the 7yr/100k/0 for $775.
Anyone interested in details can email me.
Good luck in your search !
