Hudson Toyota was on my list. I was told that they are the larger dealer in the area. They also move alot of the CE for cabs in NYC. Toyota probably keeps them happy because they move so many vehicles. I spoke to a dealer in Northern NJ and asked him to check incoming inventory. I asked him several questions and not sure I believe him.
I asked if the option packages would change. He said no. I saw on another board that some packages on the XLE are changing.
He told me the prices are going up on the 2005 model year. 500 on the LE and 700 on the XLE. I find that hard to believe with the Odessy due out. Unless the are making VSC and side airbags standard.
One more quesiton? Can you provide the price you paid for the Vechicle, destination and title. (exclude sun roof and taxes).
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
The only thing that shocked us was taxes ($3,300+) and the fact that it will take approx 8 wks for delivery.
I live in Indianapolis. I stared by sending emails regarding pkg#7 + floor mats to all the dealers in midwest (Cincinnati, Louisville & Indianapolis). Got Quotes in range from $26184 - $26775.
Best prices were offered from Cincinnati and Indy. Most of the dealers in Louisville did not respond.
Performance Toyota (cinci), Beechmont Toyota(cinci), Butler Toyota(Indy), Ed Martin (indy) offered comparable rates ($50-$100 variations).
I negotiated over email & never talked to anyone, some laughed and mocked at my offer and some responded. Beechmont gave me the best offer of $25679. I took the offer to butler and asked him to match it. Without any hassle they (Internet sales guy) matched it. That saved me the trip to Cinci.

I was interested in 7yr/100,000/$0 Ded extended warranty. Told the finance guy don't want any other stuff (he tried to sell me lots of other things like ziebart protection, insurance protection and many more). He did not even quote me the price, printed a document and asked me to sign it. I was about to sign it, but decided to read it the warranty price he was charging me was $1795. What a rip off! Said No to him and Got 4.24 APR, the best rate outside I got was (4.4) bought the car with 4.24 and walked out.
That is my story & I hope it helps you negotiate even better price.

CarsDirect Price:$27,815
MSRP Price: $27,915
Invoice Price : $25,454
But all of the others said that that's way below invoice. (Edmunds.com says '$24934' in our area.)
The guy at Fred Anderson insists that $25606 be his best price. I might accept this offer, but he never discounts $399 doc. fee. So, I'm a little frustrated. Would you guys accept this offer?
Thanks I have been reading you guys for months, so far the NW is not cheap. I have sent out for qoutes from 17 dealers and they are not very good. Ranging from $28050 - $26,477 mostly in $27500 range. I am going to counter offer soon.The best purachase price I have seen on the message boards were
$25,696 package #7 LE (8) with BW (VSC/Trac, curtain airbags, rear audio, etc), Z1 (carpet, sill, first aid, cargo net), and WH (wireless headphones)for including everything, except NYS sales tax
$25,519 package #7 FE BW (safety) CF (Floor Mats) GN (Cargo Net) HP (Hood Protector)
I'm little dissapointed with the qoutes hopefully its just tough salesmen up here, that need a lot of pushing to break the 26000$ barrier with fees. No tax here ; )
I may have spoken too soon regarding Hudson Toyata. I still may buy from them but am very frustrated. Got a call from the guy yesterday saying the Stratoshpere Mica LE w/7 he promised us (and we put a deposit on) was tagged as a 'fleet' car when in came in to the dealer and, therefore, wasn't his to sell (apparently it designated as a rental). I'm not sure I buy the story. Perhaps I need to be more flexible on color but right now am unwilling to budge.
I am deciding now if I want to wait 4-6 weeks for the dark blue (and maybe risk the same or similar scenario) or settle on another color. I wonder what else this guy will throw at me when and if the car comes in. I suspect the deal we made with him was quite good ($25,848 - not including tax or fees which would equal a total of $27,834. We also plan to add a moonroof for $1,500 which takes is to $29,333) and he may have been able to sell the car for a better price. For now I'm reserving my recomendation of Hudson - we'll have to see how this turns out.
Anyone have some words or reassurance or experience they can pass along?
Thanks!
But don't worry about us oregonians we pay #3 in the nation taxes and fees vs our income. We have our own bum camps(dignity village), free food, electrity, clothes,land we are the wellfare state of the nation. Our property tax and income tax is high.
Sure. It is Toyota of Northampton, MA. You can find their exact address and phone number from the dealer locator on Toyota's website. I recommend them. No hassle, no haggling, no problem. The order took from start to finish about 7 weeks. Car had 9 miles on the odometer when I got it.
I live in NYC and couldn't reach an agreement with dealers in the area. The thing what turned me off most was the offer in the hushed voice: "For you, only $2000 above sticker ....". That came after waiting 2 hours in the show room waiting for a test drive with a non-existent car. They simply didn't have a Sienna despite me calling ahead to confirm the test drive !
So, I decided to take my business elsewhere. After reading and pondering this forum and lots of emails to dealers all over the country I took the offer from Northampton Toyota. Hopped on the Greyhound for ~$40 to Northampton, MA and drove home having a blast trying out the laser cruise control.
I would like to thank all the people in this forum for their insights and contributions. It really helped me a lot buying my first new car. Thanks, guys !
What is the name of the dealer that is North of you in San Diego/LA that you purchased your sienna from? Thanks
Last Friday, I sent out emails to seven dealers around Wisconsin asking for availability of LE or LE AWD. (got email addresses from toyota.com) Only two responded, both had some LEs and 1 LE AWD each. Called dealer on Monday with my offer of 600 over invoice. He mentioned the 331 TDA which I agreed to. They did not initially accept my offer, made a few counter offers but I didn't budge - I had other dealers I could contact. Finally got a call that they would accept my price.
Picked up car on Tuesday, it went smooth, very nice people, very cool experience, no processing fee, no high pressure on extra warranty etc. We had very thorough walk-through of vehicle features.
My e-mail in now open - if you could e-mail me a POC at Longo Toyota I would REALLY appreciate it.

I immediately noticed that the first three numbers are the starting point for many of the car pricing websites. Does this mean the Whsl. Financial Reserve and dealer holdback are not negotiable. How negotiable is the dealer TDA? Do they get paid any of these fees from Toyota? I'm wondering if this is a good deal? The dealer is trying to trade (with a dealer in another city) a car from their stock for a similar car in the colors I want.
Thanks!
That is dissapointing. The price they quoted is pretty good. If it is a rental for Hudson Toyota, I wonder why they need blue. You would think for a rental they could use any color. Is the moonroof that important? You could take the car and then get different opinions on adding at a later date.
I hope to have it in 4 weeks!
The dealer I bought my van from only had two Siennas on the lot. I test drove and negotiated on both of them and this is what I came up with. The one I bought- the XLE with #12, floor mats and wireless headphones for $31,329 versus the XLE Limited with #4 and floor mats for $35,846. Both of these prices included destination/prep fees of $540. I didn’t see much of a difference seeing #12 comes with the larger tires, leather, side airbags, traction control and a few other items similar to the Limited. I wanted the sunroof but couldn’t pull the trigger on the Limited for an additional $4517.
Again I paid $31,329; this is more than I wanted to pay, but similar to the Edmunds TMV value of $31,536. I needed a car fast (see my other posts for why) and I bought this Monday night at 9:00 pm and it was delivered to my house at 3:00 on Tuesday afternoon. I can’t believe a car dealer would deliver a car, great customer service.
Anyone got any better deal in Colorado? or anywhere nearby?
The toyota.com web site should also list dealers in your area.
For pricing, go to New Cars, drill down to the Sienna and follow the pricing links to the True Market Value (TMV) for your area. MSRP and invoice pricing will be there too.
It seems like the average going rate for that zip is about $2,000 off MSRP. You should try to beat TMV - certainly start less than TMV.

I talked with 18 dealers and after counter offering my lowest price with all this is what I got.
I am finalizing everything monday night.
I got offers initially from $26600 to $32000.
I told the $32000 that made no sense but she says she says them $3000 over msrp. Most of them would go as low as $28500 to $ 27000. I have seen a few on here get $25500 but out here in the NW its a supply and demand is just bad they can't get enough of them on a lot. I would wait a few months but we have a 3rd child coming soon but just thought I'd let you know if your looking out here. I'm sold on the van but wish the market was not so harsh right now.
