    I contacted few dealers. It seems that LE is coming in two packages these days AM and BZ. Is this true.

    Also, I was quoted $345 TDA (Toyota to Dealer Advertising) fee on top of the invoice price. Has anyone came across this.

    I'm finding ODY inventory much more that 2006 Sienna's. Also, Honda dealers are willing to sell at invoice price. I'm having trouble finding Sienna. I'm near Boston/Portland, ME area....

    Anyone got a recent deal in this area?
  • gklgkl Member Posts: 2
    I've seen TDA's before. In my area, its $500. I'd include this as part of the invoice price.

    I just purchased a 7pass LE with package 2 and carpet mats for $25159 plus tax and registration, invoice was $24995. This was from Kendall Toyota through their internet team. They allowed $4000 for my trade in, about what I expected. Thanks to this forum and those sharing their info I was very well prepared for the transaction which went very smoothly once they recognized I had done my homework. Thanks again to all!

    I'm looking for a 06 LE 8-seater w/3 pack. What SF Bay Area prices and dealers suggested? I heard Ron Goode has about 40 Siennas.
  • windybaerwindybaer Member Posts: 1
    I'm looking at demo 2005 Sienna XLE AWD PKG #6 with 5,000 miles.for 32.5 K.

    This seems about 1k too high to me, and is complicated by having a trade-in: 2000 Camry with ~ 97k mileage. Will offer to trade for $24K.. Any ideas?

    Hi,

    I will suggest you to goto Hayward Toyota. I had a very very positive
    experience there.

    I got very good price. As I was very much prepard (what exactly I want
    to buy and what I want to pay), We made a deal on phone. When I went to
    dealer, I test drive the vehicle which i was buying and did the paper
    work. The finance team was also very good. No Pressure.

    Thanks.
  • chococochococo Member Posts: 1
    I'm looking at an '05 LE 7-passenger BX (package #8) for $26,200 plus taxes and fees. Is this a good price? We were there haggling until 10 pm but I wasn't sure if it was a great offer. Thanks in advance.
  • hansiennahansienna Member Posts: 2,312
    Depends on how much the fees are. :confuse:
    My friend got a 2006 LE 7 passenger with Pkg # 2 plus the factory sticker CF $ 214 carpeted floor mats / sill protector for $ 25,698 and felt he got a good deal since factory sticker had MSRP $ 26,949.
    His fees (in addition to the $ 25,698) were Dealer Documentary Fee of $ 239, Utah License and Registration Fee of $ 39, Utah State tire recycle fee of $ 5, and Utah Sales tax of $1711.84 Dealer has no control over any fee but the Doc fee which is as high as $ 399 in this area.
    Dealer Doc Fee is just another excuse for "Additional Profit". :sick:

    Just got a 2006 LE 7 passenger with package 2 and carpet mats, in Birmingham AL, for $24,200, plus tax and title. $24,200 includes dealer doc fee. Also got good quotes in Atlanta, GA area. Drove it 350 miles for Thanksgiving and it drove wonderfully. Very pleased with purchase.
  • hansiennahansienna Member Posts: 2,312
    WOW...You paid $1737 LESS than my friend paid in September for an identical 2006 Sienna LE 7 passenger and he was satisfied with his price. ;)
  • bham2bham2 Member Posts: 4
    I was very fortunate; I used a friend's strategy of sending e-mails to 25+ toyota and honda dealerships near my hometown, asking for out the door quotes on sienna LE #2 and odyssey LX. Best quote was for an odyssey but my wife had decided on a sienna, and then I tried to tastefully use offers to get my best price on a sienna.
  • hansiennahansienna Member Posts: 2,312
    Congratulations. The Sienna LE is considerably nicer than an Odyssey LX even though the Odd LX has slightly more powerful engine and is also a nice minivan. The Sienna CE is slightly lesser than the Odd LX. I think the Sienna LE is more comparable to the Odd EX even though the Odd EX costs more and has a few more items standard. ;)

    Hi guys,

    I'm about to close a deal on a 2006 XLE Limited with package #2 (has DVD and Navigation but no powered 3rd row seats) for $36,924 +++. It comes in total to $39,993 (inkl. tax, all fees and tags). Does it sound like a good deal?

    Thanks for your help

  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Compare your figure with those posted on website of the Toyota store in Deland. Add a $499 dealer processing fee to the posted prices to get the true price.
  • tacovivatacoviva Member Posts: 116
    Just drove the wife home in a new LE8.

    Here's what we purchased:
    2006 Sienna LE8
    Le#4 package
    Xtra Mile option A
    Window Tint
    Leather
    Permavin Etching
    Vehicle luster package
    Park Pilot parking system

    MSRP was $33,600, but my OTD price was $27,951.00 (including TTL)

    I think it's OK.

    Good? Bad?

    I live in the DFW Metroplex.
  • caravan2caravan2 Member Posts: 198
    Does LE comes in Leather?

    What is Xtra Mile option A?

    Option # MSRP is: $28,210. How did you arrive at $33,600?
  • lovesiennalovesienna Member Posts: 13
    I think he meant Dealer installed Leather chairs, Not factory installed.
    However I think $28000 out of the door is an attrative deal. LE8 + Pkg1 the best deal is about $24000 + TTL (~$26000) + $800 to $1000 for the leather + $1000(?) extra for upgrading from pkg 1 to pkg 4.
    So I think $28k is a good deal.
  • tacovivatacoviva Member Posts: 116
    The Extra Mile Option Package A
    PKG A is:
    Cargo Net
    Fabric Guard
    Custom Tape Stripe
    First Aid Kit
    Carpet Mat Set W/ Door Sill Protectors
    No Charge Extra Mile Benefits:
    Roadside Assistance (3 Yrs/36,000 Miles
    Extra Mile Extended Life Tires
    (6 Years / 100,000 Miles)

    But invoice is only 332, not 542.

    here's a breakdown:
    take the invoice from edmunds and add...
    INV MSRP
    PKG #4 @ 1860 2325
    Permavin Glass 0052 0199
    Pilot Park 0225 0349
    Vehicle Lust pkg 0099 0349
    Leather 1445 1936
    Destination 0650 0650
    XTRA mile pkg A 0332 0542
    Theft Guard 0000 0595 (this is a DLR add)
    Environmental 0000 0895 (this is a DLR add)
    Tint 0100 0149 (this is a DLR add)
    -------------------------------------
    Vehicle 22750 25280
    -------------------------------------
    Total 27513 33269

    I zeroed out the Theft and Enviro package for invoice, but they probably paid about 75% of the cost for that.

    It took 4 hours to get this deal. Please remember there are loads of holdbacks included in the invoice price. So they made about 5% on this even below invoice and they'll make about 3 k on the finance end too.

    Good luck out there and remember that a good deal is not directly related to what you pay. I know folks that pay MSRP for Bimmers and feel great about it. But then there are those who seek an honest value.

    Cheers

    Just purchased the same vehicle (2006 LE package #2 and carpet mats) in metro Atlanta for $24,370 plus tax and $21 title. The $24,370 includes dealer doc fee.

    Was also looking at Odyssey LX -- the Sienne LE was the same price and a much nicer vehicle imho.
  • ramblingwomanramblingwoman Member Posts: 7
    Can you tell us the dealers name and address-email etc?
    Congrats on a great deal.
  • mamadadapaigemamadadapaige Member Posts: 35
    We purchased today.

    Includes: Limited Option Package #2 (DVD, navigation, etc), Rear Spoiler, Preferred Premium Accessory Package (Includes Cargo Net, F&R Floor Mats, Cargo Mat, Door Sill Protectors, First Aid Kit & Emergency Assistance Kit), and Alloy Wheel Locks.

    Paid $35,940 plus fees of $195 and $65 and tax of $1225 for a total of $37425.

    I am happy with the deal and hope it was a good one - it took a lot of haggling on my part. any opinions??

    out the door price is
    25322.00

  • bham2bham2 Member Posts: 4
    I bought mine in Birmingham, AL at Serra Toyota. I got a slightly better price at Cherokee County Toyota in Atlanta area. Also got a good price at Milton Martin Toyota in Atlanta area.
  • lovesiennalovesienna Member Posts: 13
    Excellent deal!
    How many miles on the car?
    In what state/city?
  • rcole2rcole2 Member Posts: 5
    Purchased my Sienna at stated price above from Cobb County Toyota in Kennesaw, GA. Worked everything out through internet department by e-mail. All I had to do was test drive the car and full out the paperwork. They had about 8-10 LE's w/package #2 to choose from at this price.
  • rcole2rcole2 Member Posts: 5
    Is doc fee included in this? If so that works out to an 8% sales tax -- is that correct for you?

    If so, the price pre-tax is about $950 less than what I paid for Pack 2, which just adds the drivers side power seat (which is nice to have).

    But, your price for option package 1 seems real good if the numbers are correct above.
  • bbbsssbbbsss Member Posts: 4
    Hayward Toyota is advertising 4000 off MSRP on all 06 Sienna LEs this weekend. Sound like this is a great deal!
  • kj2005kj2005 Member Posts: 17
    I was offered to buy at the dealer's "invoice price" of $38,185 on an MSRP of $42,225 for a 2006 Sienna XLE Limited AWD with the HO package which is the Navigation and Rear Entertainment System. Another dealer said $500 over invoice and another said somewhere in between.

    Two separate dealers gave me this as the invoice for a fully loaded Sienna yet the Edmunds site shows it as a $37,409 invoice including the $565 destination charge.

    The dealers north of Boston MA all charge about $200 for doc fees and the RMV charges $65 to xfer plates.

    Does anyone have a 06 XLE Limited w/HO price comparison to share?

    Does anyone have any experiences at IRA Toyota in Danvers, Boch Toyota in Norwood, or any of the other Boston area dealers?

    -KJ
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Edmunds' invoice pricing does not (indeed, cannot) include Toyota's TDA fee (Toyota Dealer Advertising) which varies by region. That's why you're seeing a discrepancy in the numbers.

    For a good comparision, check the websites of the big Toyota stores in the DC area (Darcars, Fitzgerald) as they seem to have the best prices in the country. Again, though, the TDA numbers might be different from Boston.

    We just looked at a 2006 XLE Limited AWD w/ the HO package (DVD and Navigation. This vehicle is a dealer demo with almost 4,000 miles. It has a crack in the windshield and is somewhat dirty inside. How much should we expect the dealer to drop below invoice and is it unreasonable to demand a replacement windshield? Also, they've included the Toyota protection package for $699. This is basically dealer profit (IMO). Any views?
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    My two cents is that demos are not worth their relatively small savings. It is unlikely they will discount it much (say $1000 under invoice) and for that you are getting a used vehicle that likely has been flogged. For very little more, you can get a new one and break it in properly.

    I would be very surprised that they would even sell it with a cracked windshield.
  • dandy101dandy101 Member Posts: 2
    Just today in NC bought a 2006 LE 7 pass. w/ pkg 2 & fl. mats. Price paid before TTL was aprx $24,307. This price includes dest. and doc. fee. (They had listed doc. fee as $399). When I went in to talk price, I told them I'd buy it today if they sold it for $25,100 (out the door price including TTL). Did not confuse the issue with talk of trade-in or financing. Their initial price was around $28,200. After aprox. 30 minutes of trying to talk me up they finally agreed to $25,100, out the door.

  • goodbalancegoodbalance Member Posts: 4
    Could someone post a sample email request to a dealer for a quote?

    I am interested in the OTD price price for a 2006 XLE, but would like to know their invoice price, TDA (not sure if already included), Toyoguard fee (which is required in the Southeast), doc. fee and taxes. Also would like to know what colors they have available.

    Any help with wording (feel free to suggest additional info I should ask for) greatly appreciated!

    Also, any wording how to follow up with negotiating, once a few quotes come in would be helpful.

    Thanks!
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Some websites only allow you to initially request a quote and there is no allowance for posing questions. In such cases you'll do so after you get a reply.

    The points I try to make are:

    A) I am ready to buy;

    B) What is their BEST price for a specified vehicle, including any dealer document or processing fee; and

    C) If I'm requesting a quote about a specific in-stock vehicle, I ask whether it is new or a demo and mileage on it.

    The fact of the matter is that in any given market TDA is the same from store to store as well as certain "mandatory options," such as Toyoguard in the SE. Taxes are also a given so I don't much care to get into any of that stuff because it makes absolutely no difference.

    I generally don't send inquiries unless a dealer has their inventory listed on their website. That way I can make a request about a known vehicle and avoid requesting a price for a particular color. Bear in mind that dealers know that some customers will pay more for a preferred color and some will use that knowledge to their advantage. It's far better to get a price and only then discuss color by having the dealer offer a number of colors from which you can pick. The same goes for options or packages - it's better to have some flexibility.

    Once you get a number of quotes you'll have any idea as to who you might do business with. You can then, if necessary, play them off against each other.
  • rcole2rcole2 Member Posts: 5
    Very good job ... you beat me by $64.50 :P

    Just goes to show that the dealers want to move their inventory. People just need to shop around among dealers to get a satisfactory price. Mine wound up being from the dealer closest to my house.
  • dandy101dandy101 Member Posts: 2
    Thanks,
    I told the manager if he didn't accept my offer, I was ready to go buy an Odyessey LX and save some money.
    He said his "invoice" numbers didn't match mine. I tried not to dispute his numbers- just said this is all I can afford to spend on the sienna- otherwise its odyssey time. :)
  • elananhelananh Member Posts: 1
    I'm looking to buy a used Sienna...a dealer in the vicinity is selling an '04 sienna LE...with 71k highway miles (PA car) and it has a clean interior/exterior and checked out well with mechanic (besides a few minor thing)---i'm wondering
    A. would it be a mistake to get this car with so much mileage?
    B. what would be a fair price?

    If you can help me i'd really appreciate it...
    we told the dealer we'll give him an answer ASAP...

    thanx :)
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Miles (especially of the highway variety) rarely hurt a Toyota except (like every other make) when it comes to price.

    Just run the numbers on it here but bear a couple of things in mind. The amount deducted from its value for the excessive mileage is probably low so bump it up a bit.
    Also, you have to assume you're getting "married" to it and will probably be unable to later sell it except at a give-away price.

    One way I look at a late model high mileage car is to see if the price is about the same for as an older model with average mileage. If so, it's an acceptable buy. Example:
    compare the price of this '04 with an '00 or '01 Sienna with 70K on it.

    Don't forget to factor in optional equipment (which can vary quite a bit on an LE) as it definitely affects the value of any late model vehicle.

    I started looking for 2005/6 sienna LE w/ package #8 this week. very nice. what i'm finding is L.A. times(So Cal edition Dec 9 & 10) full page ads for the 2005's are as low as $23988. the dealers msrp is $31321. that is nearly $7400 in savings. do you think that there might be a little more wiggle room on the price since it is the week before christmas and the dealers are having a drastic reduction in buyers?

    Dealers with advertised prices:

    Power Toyota of Cerritos.
    2005 Sienna LE pkg #8 $23988 white only. (loss leader)
    Puente Hills Toyota
    $24988.
    Wondries Toyota
    $24988.

    What dealership did you buy from?

    Also, how does the dealer-installed leather look on the LE8? I've never seen one like that, but have been interested.
  • zebra5zebra5 Member Posts: 47
    Can someone tell me how the dealerships are handling the $1500 on '05 Siennas? Do they quote the buyer a price inclusive of the rebate, and then the buyer signs over the rebate to the dealership? Or does the buyer pay "gross" and wait for a check from Toyota Motors? I'm wondering about various advertised prices on '05 Siennas I'm seeing in the newspaper - they aren't clear about how the rebate factors in.
  • cccompsoncccompson Member Posts: 2,382
    Typically, newspaper prices (at least here in Ohio) will have a small disclaimer that says something like "all rebates to dealer."

    Every time I've bought a vehicle with a rebate, I've signed it over to the dealer as that is the only way that makes sense (otherwise you would have to pay the amount of the rebate upfront and wait to recover it - just like the electronics stores do!).

    Bear in mind though that you will still have to pay sales tax on the amount of the rebate (not bad on $1500 but it cost me $300 plus dollars on a $5000 GM rebate in '04).
  • raveningsravenings Member Posts: 3

    WHAT REBATE??? We just bought an '05 XLE AWD and asked about any rebates and were specifically told none were being offered except $1,000 dealer cashback. Could not find info on a rebate anywhere on edmunds or Toyota website so any info would be appreciated as I plan to go back to the dealer tomorrow!
