2003 Sienna LE with:
Symphony Package (SP)
Power Passenger Sliding Door (AJ)
Side Air Bags (BE)
Tow Package (TO)
Vehicle Skid Control (VD)
Rear Bumper Protector (EF)
Cargo Net (GN)
$26048 (base price)
+ $1628 (6.25% tax rate)
+ $148 (title and license)
= $27824 (total before rebate)
- $1000 (rebate)
= $26824 (bottom line)
Invoice is $25900. Keep in mind that Edmunds does not account for the $325 advertising fee and $6 fuel/admin charge included in my invoice. I have a copy of the Sienna LE SP invoice. It sounds unbelievable....

You even got them to get rid of the dealer prep and doc fees and what-not.
BTW, we negotiated everything through email until I made the five-minute phone call to put a $100 deposit down on it. I hope my credit card gets reimbursed.... If anyone is looking for a good deal in central IL, Mattoon's dealer can work with you if you live outside their sales area and do it through email. It was easy, but I did my research first. Also, ask a dealer to fax the invoice on a vehicle. Then, you can see hidden advertising costs, etc. and make an offer that is border-line acceptable. I have neighboring dealers fuming over the offer. But what did they expect me to do with such a good offer? Add $800 and buy through them? Its ironic that I am backing out, but size is a huge factor (see my post and responses on the main 'Toyota Sienna' group).

Last week I was at another dealer in the Chicago area and they offered me a 2002 LE demo at invoice. I called Oakbrook and within a few moments they made me an offer over the phone for any 2003 near invoice plus the $1500 rebate or low financing. They had over 30 Siennas on their lot to choose from. The whole experience with the dealer was great. We test drove it last saturday and brought it home yesterday. If you in the neighborhood and you're looking for a great deal, stop by Oakbrook Toyota and say hi to Neal for us.

Every month or so somebody comes by here with the good news we're getting the European Toyota van.
As far as I know, the '04 Sienna is going to be its own thing and have nothing to do with the Euro stuff. Simply a different market. I used to live in Germany and wouldn't even consider driving something as big as an Ody there; more trouble than it's worth. Here in the States, that's what people want, and for fairly good reasons.
No cigar.

paid $23,228 for my 2003 CE (excluding tax, title, tags) with FE, HX, TO, and Z1 option packages. This was supposedly $300 below dealer invoice (including the regional advertising fee). Could have gone $1,000 lower with rebate, but opted for 0% financing instead.
Seems like Toyota is really trying to move the Siennas right now . . .
TDA $296
MAF $332
Are these correct?
Also, the invoice has this:
2% HOLDBACK MSRP $515
PIO HOLDBACK $153
1% FINANCE RESERVE MSRP $257
I shouldn't pay these, right?

Did anyone have it removed by asking?
I got an eLE for 5000 off list. 4000 dealer and 1000 T. rebate. No dealing -- advertised price on all in stock -- He only had 3 on the lot, but after see the manager, he said they had about 10 more at aux. lots. Maybe I could of got more off, but it seems like a good deal to me. Got the 84M/72K plat. extra war. for 900.
"TOYOTA HAS ANNOUNCED A SPECIAL RATE PROGRAM GOOD on all 2003 Siennas thru 12/31/02 0.0% x3 - 2.9 %x4 - 3.9%x5 AND $1000 !!!! OR a $1500 customer cash rebate."
Looking for some assitence in negotiating the following BAFO here on the Mass/NH border:
dealer invoice $21514
HX xtra val pack 834 cap chairs
Dest 510
Cust cash rebate -1500
$21358 BAFO???
I like the thinking of the past poster who pointed out the CE with the HX pack is the way to go: This model is almost exactly the same as as LE with the extra value package,but cost about $850 less. Biggest differences are power rear quarter,windows, illuminated visor mirrors, illuminated entry system, and a tachometer.
Please advise on any dealers here in NE and if this draft bafo is realistic for a Blue Denim 2003 CE.
Sienna's have been in the news lately for great discounts because of the new "improved" model coming out. With our TMV starting around $22,600 before options, it sure smells like your BAFO be a great deal.
There may be some availability issues as Toyota nears the end of this production run, so that could limit your choices (maybe you've already found your Blue Denim model around the lots?).
You may want to try some blast emails and see if that shakes any hungry dealers out of the trees. Have fun shopping!

The dealer I used had none in stock but had 2 on the way, both in silver. He wound up swapping for another silver one so I could get it earlier.
Your price of 21358 is awesome if you can get it. You should probably expect an ad charge of $300+ plus some doc fees on top of your BAFO number. Who knows, though, maybe the dealers want to dump the old model.
That said, I wouldn't get too hung up on that number; better to pay attention to the "out the door" price. Good luck shopping!

I got a CE with the HX package.
Steve, Host
Just closed
2003 CE w/hx $21,200 OTD
-900 trade
1065 taxes
-65 plates
2500 deposit
17800 fin at special 2.9% 48
Corp toyota wants all seinnas gone from the Lots for new 2004 order come feb 1st for 21200 otd i got everything i wanted with the HX package as a LE at 26500 sticker!
I tried to get a deal on the aforementioned CE w/ HX & captains, and at $21,500+TTL, got sent packing. Edmunds and cars.com both show $1500 incentive, but the dealer politely explained it was $1k or 0%... and they'd sell at their invoice, which is identical to Edmund's but has the ad charge ($320 or so) added to it.
Voila, they were at $22,226 and I walked... but my feeling is they dealt straight. Others were reporting $2k rebates (Atlanta).
I believe Toyota has this stuff down to a science. They do not deal in distressed merchandise.
I think the deals will get better, and by the time they're really sweet, the only thing left will be XLEs in "no-sale blue" or some similar atrocities.

Also I really like the Blue. is that an unpopular color??
I have heard that all dealers have been directed to get rid of the short production run of 2003's to get ready for one of the most agressive sales intros ever for Toyota for the 2004. they have been sick of getting their lunches eaten by the Honda Od and this one will much more expensive than the 2003 and they don't want people to have the cheaper "latter model 2003 to choose.
this would make sense given the deals they are making on the 2003 this week.
We looked at a new LE that would have been $24462 otd, but it included no optional equiptment.
95gtp: With access Toyota pricing what advantage is there knowing dealer's invoice cost?
esp IRA vs BOCH!!!
Has anybody bought any good accessaries like the center console??
Is this a good price or should I look around? Can I go to a different authorized dealer who offers a better price??
Basement_trout? Great handle :-)

Dunwoodygal, make sure that price is all inclusive (includes dest. charge and advertising) and ask if it includes any assumptions about the rebate).
Got a 2003 Symphony with Deluxe running boards for $24875 (with special financing).
Got the Premium warranty 6yr/100,000 for $885.
But, you will take a hit with the rebate if you select the special financing. For me, with the amount of money I was putting down, and how much I could spend per month, it was better to do the $1000 rebate with 2.9% for 4 years.
Toyotathon is over, but I think there are still some rebates being offered. Supply is getting limited with the Siennas, as there will not be anymore 2003's made. The 2004's will be ready I believe at the end of February.
