I guess there were not much 04 Sienna left. The 05 is
reasonalbe to go. I believe that the price I got will be
reasonalbe for many salemen. If you live in Atlanta
or nearby, and you want to deal the same, I can
refer you to my saleman. He is very nice. But he
is a beginner(I am his first custermer). If the negotiation
stage is right, you will be able to get the same price
in other places with more than 5 toyota dealers nearby.
I did not expect to buy one yesterday, I went there for oil
change with a special coupon. When my car was served,
I step into the new car department. Then a test drive,
and 2 hours negotiation. 2 more hours paper work,
and still did not finish my payment. I am going to try
Capital one for finance. I just checked the deal again,
we paid $150 more for floor mat and cargo net. But
that's ok. I felt happy with that.
The dealer is World Toyota in Atlanta. Many people told me
it is an difficult dealership. My experience is the salesman
is most important for a deal. Hurry up.

I just ordered a 2005 sienna 8 pass LE with BW package from kenosha carmax. I would like to talk to you..
I will be trading in my 2002 BMW 325 all wheel drive wagon (it breaks my heart to do so, but had to because of increasing family size) which has been advertised on ebay right now. The overall experience for me so far is fairly neutral. I know for 2004 models, at least one other Milwaukee dealer's price is about $900 less than carmax price.
It would be probably easier for you to find me via ebay car ads.
thanks
Which dealer? What Options? I am looking for a 05 LE with BW package.. any suggestions?

Thanks for the reply!
I am from Seattle area but end up buying the van in eastern washington.
$23000 + tax
MSRP: 34736
Invoice: 31013
Asking Price: 31813
Doc fee: 45
He claimed he was asking $800 over invoice. What do you think? I live in SF Bay area.
He mentioned that 05 is $250 more than 04. I got the following from Edmunds quote on a 04 model w/ pkg #14:
MSRP: 33865
Invoice: 29799
So if you add $250 to the 04 price, it would be:
MSRP: 33865 + 250 = 34115
Invoice: 29799 + 250 = 30049
You see, there is $1K difference betwee the 2 "invoice" numbers. I asked him why and he said it's due to regional adjustment to the SF area. Is this really true? I thought invoice should be the same to all dealers around the country.

My sales is telling me the TDA is almost $1k. How do we find out the exact number.
I forgot to get Allow weEl locks, Can i get it locally and fit it locally ? How easy is it to fit it?
What do u think of the price ?
Thanks
I am trading in my 02 Odyssey LX with 95K on it.
Dealer invoice is 26045. I will pay 26545 plus fees and tax.
One thing is bothering me now: dealer is also charging
$150 for title and reg (understandable)
$90 for Data Processing/Clerical fee ???!!!
$110 for Service fee for obtaining title etc ???!!!
whether last two fees are too high? I heard someone only pay $50 for both. Any idea?
I am Minneapolis local racedent.
Thanks.

Thanks

even with the fees you are only $850 above the invoice, which I think it's a great deal. Many dealers are still asking this much or even more for a 2004 sienna. Could you please share me with the contact info of the salesman. My email address is [email protected]
Thank yout very much and enjoy your new purchase!
Anybody know for the above vehicle, who can give a better deal in GA,Atlanta.
mail me [email protected]

2004 Sienna XLE LTD with console and mats, including all fees EXCEPT sales tax = $32,721
Also given the following quote:
2005 SIENNA XLE LTD with mats, all fees except sales tax = $34,329
Hope I did OK because I'm going to purchase the 04 tom.
since then and unable to do much web posting until now.
We had been looking for quite some time, and decided on an
XLE. We were not too interested in a lot of options, which most of
the Sienna's we had looked at had. Some even
had extra dealer packs that seemed worthless
(e.g. stripes, undercoating at $950!). We left that place and did not return.
When we balked at the heavily optioned ones,
the salesman at one place had told us that some more were coming
in next week, and he called us to confirm it, so we went to take a look.
We arrived at the dealership and found a newly delivered
XLE AFP with only option #2 (a moonroof), plus some distributor options.
It was not there the previous week, and they said it had just been unloaded
the day before. It did not even have the dealership emblem on the back yet.
Listed as follows:
MSRP = 30175
Dist Options: Extra mile package 704
DVD Prewire 69
Vehicle shield pkg 349
Final Total = 31297 (Distributor SRP).
Sales manager claimed Invoice was 27900, but I figured it at
27541. After a bit of negotiation, we settled on 28500 for the sales price.
Then came the weird part. I told them I had my own financing
via credit union, but they said that for such a good price they
wanted me to finance with them. I refused saying I don't like to pay
interest. Then the finance manager offered to lower the price if I would
finance it. He offered 27701. All I have to do is make 5 payments.
One big one at the beginning and then 4 smaller ones. Total interest about
$300. So I save $500, for a little inconvenience of making the payments.
They said they get some kickback on the financing that made this deal
worth more to them, and would make up for the low sales price javascript:emoticon(':)')
and the extra $800 they knocked off.
So we drove away without paying a penny down in the new van!
Darnest thing I ever was involved in.
Bottom line is that I got it for 3596 off the sticker price (I think),
and less than their invoice quote, but 160 over my invoice estimate.
I still don't understand this, unless they are betting that I do not
pay it off quickly and then will get the kickback.
After I thought about it all when I got home, I was thinking that perhaps
I could have got the finance guy to take even more off. It would have been nice
to see what their limit was.
Sales people were very nice, sales manager was so-so.
Problem was that it took 4 hours to complete everything.
Other than that the experience was not as bad as I have
had at other places in the past. The place was crowded with people
looking at and buying all different models.
Anyway we like the van, although we have not driven it much yet.
Will go on a trip to Colorado in two weeks time, and then down to
Corpus Christi later on in October, so will get a good workout with it
and will be able to get some good mileage data. So far just driving
around locally it's not too good (16-17).
Thanks,
acilenti
Sorry, it should be [email protected] (instead of thhu2204... I gave you)
Also, these boards exist as a way to exchange information for everyone's benefit. Asking for dealership name via e-mail deprives our other members of the info. Thanks!

1) - I have been quoted the same price from two dealers, while a third is right there also -
32816+++, which according to the dealer is $550 above invoice. Based on this forum, it appears this is a decent price, what do you think?
2) - Why is there a $1206 difference between the Edmnunds invoice price and what the dealer (3 of them said the same number) is telling me?
Per the Edmunds link when showing National Base Price- "The invoice price does not include any fees that may be charged by the manufacturer to dealers in a particular area of the country, such as local advertising fees. Edmunds.com does not track or provide such local fees." It also states the Edmunds invoice price does Not include destination chargs.
One dealer said the KBB.com invoice price will match theirs. When I went home, I found this not to be true. The KBB invoice differs from Edmnunds in that it includes a $540 desintation charge, after adding the invoice price for the options, it still does not match the dealers
KBB (30,833+540+40+187 = 31650)
Does anyone know why the dealer invoice does not match anything I find on the net?
Thank You
