Locally, I shopped fitzmall.com, 355toyota.com, and jimcolemantoyota.com, all within 15 minutes of my house. With 355 you had to request a quote to your e-mail address, but the other two had prices listed on their web sites.
Hopefully by dealing with the E-business folks they'll know you don't want the mess of haggling and last minute surprises. My experience was the opposite of yours - in fact I got an accurate-to-the-penny grand total and took a Cashier's check for the exact amount, no surprises.
If they are unresponsive when you ask for certain things I'd look somewhere else. Nice to have 7-8 dealers near you.
MSRP : $38,310
Invoice : $34,678 (with $1,500 rebate taken out)
add all these options:
package #2 : $2,954
package #4 : $892
prefer premium accessory package : $187
total MSRP : $43,297
total Invoice : $37,461 (with $1,500 rebate taken out)
(Price paid $ 37,000) + ($1,850 tax, $92 Title and plate) + ($195 dealer fee) = $39,131 on delivery
Was this a good price
All the Toyota dealers in the area have their web site with an eerily similar design for inventory search. You pick the year/model/trim level and it lists all the cars, some as "In Stock" and others as "Available", depending on which dealer's web site it is. "Available" means the car is sitting on another dealer's lot. This is why I was getting the same inventory list from everybody.
So today I started scanning the web site of every dealer, and found the one where it is "In Stock". I am thinking of driving down there, test driving the car, and making them an offer. Question is, should I go now, or wait for 2 weeks, till the end of the month/quarter?
tx_ice: Thanks for the car buying tips. It made me locate the dealer who has the car on his lot.
axel2: I am not in a blazing hurry, but would like to get the car in a month or so. This thing is dragging on for too long.

Thanks,Kevin
looks, a rather pricey for that. What area/state are you shopping in? rebate and holdback varies by area. On edmunds for LE FWD base invoice is 23,110 + 2,236 for #3 pkg,+ 132 for CF and 645 for dest, comes to 26,123 as invoice.
I am not sure how did you came up with 25,900?
What is your TTL? Dealer Doc fee if any?
It is about $120 more than my other lowest offer, but it was more local and he threw in two oil changes.
I found an absolute lowest floor at 23,725. No one would go quote lower without me coming in.
I found that you will get a better deal if they have it in stock than if they say 'we can get it for you."
I was not happy with the process though, two examples- at the last minute he said 'price I quoted did not include floor mats" I could have walked out, but it was a dealership
convenient for me, and in the end I did not pay.
Also, he said he's going to fill up the car with gas, but as I'm getting in to drive away, I noticed it was half full, he said "Oh, can't imagine how that happened, I filled it up." Didn't get away with that either.
And in the end he asked me to give him a good report to Toyota!
Good luck to all!
In our area it's 1250 rebate or 0% for 48 months.
If you have to pay 2.9%, rebate seems better but good to
run the numbers.
But now you know the true invoice. Now call DMV and figure out
other fees, many times dealer pads misc charges and labels them as doc fees.

what should be the pricing I should look at ?
Could you tell us the dealer name and who you worked with (first name is fine). That sounds like a better deal than what I got quoted.
Diehl was awesome!!!!! The Limited AWDs are VERY hard to find to say the least but they located one (in our 1st color choice).
I recommend Diehl to anyone looking for a Toyota in the Pittsburgh area, especially north of the city.
configuration options as detailed below:
XLE Limited 2WD or 4WD drive with these options:
Limited Package #3
Limited Package #4
Preferred Accessory Package
I got 3 dealer quotes: 2WD
35,995
37,156
4WD
38,995
All includes any discount and the 1500 national rebate promotion.
Can I go lower than 35,995...or is that the best deal?
This is in Southern California.
2007 Toyota Sienna
LE 8 passenger FWD
Package# 3
Plus: Spoiler, carpet floormats, grocery net & first aid kit
$26,400 (NOT including $1500 rebate). I took the special financing rate instead. This price is $600 below retail invoice (the numbers the dealer shows to you as if that is what they paid for the car)
b/t/w: I wasn't supposed to see this but I saw the invoice with ALL the dealer numbers (holdback and all). The dealers TRUE cost for the above trim & options is $25,518
Bargin hard and you shall receive!
Am getting $28.8K. Is this a good deal?
I do think I got something a bit extra - VALOR EXHAUST TIP (PPO) - shiny exhaust tip worth the $464? So their invoice was $26,259 plus $464 = $26,723. I paid only $423 under invoice - did I get ripped off?
Thanks.
Give me a breakdown of ALL cost for Misc changes from your actual bill.
I.E. title, tax, registration, tire tax, doc fee etc.
Your Tip (PIO) MSRP is $64 and invoice is $38. What is your color?
Tax: 1,841
NJ Tire Tax: 7.50
Doc Fees: 149
Registr: 331 (tags, 4 years registration)
Total: $28,628.50
Get it over with, tell me I messed up.
Did you take the delivery yet?
Can anyone confirm this?
Which dealership did you buy from and how did you pay?
email me at ckcarprice@yahoo.com
Dealer RETAIL invoice: $26500 (this is the invoice number they show to you as if this is what they actually paid for the vehicle)
Your negotiated price: $26300 (including $1200 rebate)
In the above example, you actually paid the dealer $27500 above retail invoice since the $1200 rebate didn't come out of the dealers pocket.
I posted this earlier but here it is again. I paid:
$26,400 (not including rebate...i took the special financing) T/T & everything but the price of the car was paid up front
DETAILS:
LE - 8 Passenger, White
Package #3,
Additional options: Rear Spoiler, Car mats, 1st aid kit, grocery net
Sienna 07 - 8 passenger - LE
+
Option1-mfr code:AM
+ CF(carpet)
+ cargo net
+ door sill protector
+ first aid kit
Ext Colour - slate metallic
Int fabric - stone interior
Total price = 24400
rebate = 1500
Final Price = 22900 + tax(5%) + doc fee(195)+85(reg fee inc state insp sticker)
Seems like a popular combination, LE8-3 that is. We should start our own sub-group.
I got the quote for XLE with package 5(FP&CF) for $31,119 after the rebate and excluding taxes
What would be the ideal number for this trim with the above specified packages.. just starting to bargain.. any inputs would be greatly appreciated. :shades:
Best Sienna quote I have is 27435 before rebate for LE with #3 (price includes everything except tax). Thanks
I'd say shop around.
I paid a $99 processing fee, then state taxes (5% in MD), and tags. I was out the door for $26.8k.
That was the price of the Ody EX before taxes and fees!
