The van was in stock and built last month. It had 8 miles on it, and I added 1 mile after test driving it.
The 17-in. Bridgestone tires are rated B (A is the best) for both traction and temporature. They were made in the 29th week (or late July) of this year.
In summary, I bought it at $4K+ below MSRP or $3K+ below Edmunds' TMV or about $400 above invoice (The regional ad fee was about $500). The dealer made about $1K (including about $600 holdback).
I had a dealer do a search for this exact model on Friday and was told there are none on the ground in Ohio although they said they had one on order.
Thanks,
Since there are no incentives being offered on the Sienna at this time either to the dealer or the consumer you are not likely to pay invoice. However, the Costco auto program is very good. They have a set price that you pay over invoice depending on the vehicle. I believe the over invoice price for the Sienna is $1500.00. If you are a Costco member go to Costco.com and look for the auto program. IF your not a Costco member become one so that you can save on the purchase of a vehicle.
Last year I used the program to purchase my Corolla and paid $1500.00 over invoice less a $750.00 rebate. I will be shopping for my Sienna this week and will be using the Costco program again.
Good luck,
Thanks
I own an XLE Limited w/Nav & Dvd, $100 over invoice 5 months ago...
And it's awesome, even if it's a 'mini van'
we didn't like the sienna's pickup. The Sienna just felt like a heavy car when we were driving it and when we put our foot on the gas..it seemed to take a while the really get moving...the T&C had better acceleration, in our opinion and we were told that the AWD Sienna would be even more sluggish...When we sat down to actually get the T&C they changed the price and said that they had quoted us a price if we went with their financing whereas we could get a much better rate than they were offering us.
In the end, we are back to looking at Siennas mainly because of AWD and secondly, with an infant, I like that we can change the second row into bench seating if we need to...My husband wanted the T&C because of the Tailgaiting seats and stow aways, but honestly when I sat in the back, there didn't seem like there was that much room and like you i don't see us using the stow away seats that much and if you wanted to store something in it, you would have to move the front seat each and every time to get to it. In the end we decided on the Sienna although we are still trying to get the best price for it. hope this helps.

Email me and I can send you all the details..The car is not on the lot yet, it is a part of the dealer allocation expected next week.
Could you please share where you bought your van?
The car is not on the lot yet, it is a part of the dealer allocation expected next week. I have also found that most dealers are now in the $800 over invoice range for an XLE LTD AWD with an HE package. If you need more details, just email me.
Thanks!
I got a Invoice price from a Toyota Dealer for a 2005 XLE AWD that is $683 more then what is on Edmunds Invoice price for the same package.
I have a quote of $32,000 from Toyota dealer in Burnsville for the 2005 XLE front wheel drive with package #6 for $32,000. The invoice she gave me was $34,000 something. Anyone here that knows if this is a good price? I really like the saleswoman and would like to buy from her, but don't want to pay too much. I am willing to drive to Duluth if necessary to get a great deal.
Also found a used 2004 with similar options with only 12,800 miles on it from a private sale, but it is an AWD and I'm not sure about the little smell of sulfur as you turn the car on and off coming out of the engine. It goes away as soon as you get going, but seems odd. Seller said he had asked the dealer about this and they told him it must be the brand of gas that he's using. Guess I'd be switching gas if I believed this to be true. Sounds like bunk to me. Seller says he has bought a new Sequoia to replace this. Thanks for your help!

Also, I called Fitz Auto Mall in MD and they had said that all of thier Siennas (except the AWD) are priced $200 over Invoice...Again this is their invoice but I think that is a pretty good deal....They have about 30 on the lot...
Darcars in Frederick MD was willing to match and beat the best quote I got for an AWD but I didn't ask them about FWD so it might be worth a shot going there.
So, to me, $32k isn't a bad price for a nice van.
Darcars is strange..I found that the Silver Spring Darcars wasn't helpful at all and basically didn't match. In fact when I called them they had me call back 4 times and then handed me off to someone else before they finally even answered my questions, but the Frederick Darcars matched and beat the price. Plus they were very friendly and got info for me right away and answered my questions. So, I think they vary within their own org.
If I were you, I would check out the '04 Sienna. Reasons: '05 Siennas offer only minimal changes.
Can land a great deal (I recall reading from a reputed source that '04 Siennas lose $6600 in their first year).
AWD may be a good thing for your area (if you can sort out the smell issue)
Good luck!
Got a quote for a LE 8 Passenger with #2 (AP) which is all we want.
$25143.
Salesman said this is $500 over invoice, but looks more like $1000 to me unless they have put some dealer options on it not lised on their website. Have read invoice is a moving target, so hard to know.
Want to do know if this is a reasonable number to take to my local dealer. The other was out of town.
2nd question: looking for experince buying a car out of state from where you live. How does this work? Do you pay sales tax on it where you buy it or do you pay the sales tax when you register it? My guess I'd have to do the registration when I get home directly?
Any comments / experince are appreciated!
If I go off of what Edmunds says is the invoice price, then the quoted price is about $1400 over invoice for the 2005 XLE AWD.
Either way, the price is about $3200 off of MSRP and $2300 off of TMV.
Which Invoice price should I go off of to determine if this is a good deal....Edmunds or Dealer?
After I did that, they said they needed a purchase order. After I did thatt, they called me back again and told me I needed a signed purchase order. So I finally told me tell if you can really give me the %50 difference towards the car ($900 in this case)I 'll go through the hassle again. They finally call me back and say no they can't give me the difference toward the price, but get us a signed purchase order and we will match the other dealers price. Why would I even bother going to them if they are just going to match the price?
