Sienna Van LE with Package 3 and Leather Seats would be $26,869.80
thanks
KBB invoice price is $23.1K and dealer adds $700 in advertising fee (it is on all Gulf Coast invoices) for $23.8K dealer invoice price.
Does this sound like a good price?
I have seen them advertised for $21K base CE in our local papers in Houston but those have no options.

Our experience so far -> we have visited a number of dealerships and the sticker/MSRP of $43k seems to be standard for the top of the line XLE Limited. FYI - this is the model with Navigation, camera on the back bumper, laser cruise control, DVD player, leather seats, dual climate control, leather/wood steering wheel, alloy wheels, extra outlets, AWD, 2 seat memories for different drivers.. This is the highest end XLE Limited available and we have seen quite a few with $43,XXX MSRP.
So, if that is the XLE Limited (minus the navigation) you purchased for $34,600 + TTL, then I am jealous. Here is to hoping we can talk someone down as much off the MSRP as you did.

Mountain West (we're in research mode still and if dealers read this website I don't really feel like showing my hand yet by being too specific. We plan on using this forum among other sources to get the best value when we make an offer on an XLE)
If you see a quote that's much lower, check to see if they later add freight, fees, etc.
We chose not to add the AWD and the navigation (that package also came with backup camera, bluetooth and powerfolding rear seats). We do have EVERYTHING else it offers though. I am going to get a seperate Nav system. It just didn't seam worth the extra -$4,000 for the rest. We don't really need all wheel drive here in the philly area (sometimes but not always). So, we did talk them down that much and they were happy to sell what was on their lot. Should check them out, maybe you could use them in some way for negotiating. TEAM toyota in langhorne, pa
Good luck...
Is that a good deal? It seems like there are reports here of going well below invoice. But at the same time, these quotes are well below what Kelly Blue Book, Edmunds TMV, or Consumer Reports says to expect to pay. It is even slightly below the price that CR says to START negotiating at! One place has even let it be known that they are willing to bargain a little further.
I've been shocked at the fees (over $1,500 total), but every place is charging exactly the same, so we think they are all legit. We've verified the major fees. There was one dealership that quoted $400 in extra fees, so we will not be dealing any further with them.
These seem to be the standard fees (I am in Colorado).
Destination Charge $ 645.00
TDA $ 562.00
Gasoline $ 10.00
Dealer Holdback $ 516.00
Whsl. Financial Reserve $ 258.00
The Whsl Financial Reserve is what they get charged by Toyota for holding the vehicle on the lot. And I thought the Dealer Holdback was negotiable too, but dh seems to think this is an ok charge.
We're trying to determine what a realistic offer should be below MSRP. I agree about it not being worth an extra $4k for navigation, backup camera & powerfolding rear seats. It seems to appeal to the technnically superior but not very useful side of me - which unfortunately I can be a sucker for. Do I really need a camera when I am backing up (especially when it distorts how far things are from you).
I'm also not a fan of the cost of replacing run-flat tires in the XLE given the experience of some other forum members being charged $300+ per tire to replace.
Anyway, thanks again for the info, it will be useful as we negotiate. Fingers crossed.
/P
Here in Chicago TDA was $500 and Holdback was $750 another fee that we shouldn't be paying for.
got the AWD XLE Limited with all bells & whistles... everything on the van works very well...
the back up camera is extemely useful... it doesn't distort that much and you know when you are too close...
the laser cruise control does work... and the sonar radar is pretty cool... helps when parking... beeps when you get too close... one long beep when you are alnmost touching...
the NAV is great! the only thing that scares me is the price of a run-flat tires...
thanks...
In NY they can't change the selling price of the new car if you decide at the last minute not to do a trade in. I personally would mention the trades up front and see what they offer you. You can then decide if you want to sell them privately or not.
You might be upside down on a loan and may have to pay them to take it off your hands. I'm sure the van is worth more than $2k but it depends on the cost of that tranny fix.
Yes, we're asking for quotes from up to 15 different dealers. We did this in the past and had great success, but we didn't have trades last time around. Would we walk away fromt eh deal if they didn't give us a decent price on the trade-ins? Yes! If a dealer says they can't give me a selling price until they see the trade-ins what's that all about? It shouldn't matter right? Or, do they adjust their price according to what we tarde-in? Very confusing.
We're seeking advice on a realistic price we would pay for a used 2006 XLE Limited with just under 20,000 miles. Stats are:
-06 XLE Limited w/option #3
-DVD player, heated seats, navigation system, backup camera, parking sonar, power 3rd row seats, sun/moon roof, two 115V outlets, 2 wireless headsets
-1 owner, Carfax looks ok
-Listed price is $30,XXX
We have looked at Kelly Blue Book but the "retail value" price seems pretty high and the only listing is for a car in "excellent" condition which only 5% of cars qualify for (and in our opinion this car is not in excellent condition)
The debate is, do we offer and buy at the $26k-ish range or do we just wait and buy new? :confuse:
We haven't seen many other used '06 XLEs at this point so that is also a factor.
MSRP 44084, sale price 40165. Includes spoiler, preferred accessory, packages #2 and #4, artic frost pearl paint. Bought extended warranty (5/60) for 795 and Toyotacare maintenance for 995.
Last time I bought a car my dealer offered something similar.
The car is georgeous, and I'm sure it will serve us well.
IMO Toyota should just have made the Limited models a Lexus. :shades:
