Some tire places won't repair a tire that's been sealed with Fix a Flat because of a hazard of explosion.
It's your own choice, of course. You can google your own research about Fix a Flat warnings and dangers.

Thanks to donkeypunch for his negotiating method. How do you think I did??
In regards to the tire sensor being damaged, I would think that when you replaced the tire (not repair), the sensor gets either cleaned or replaced. Not sure how that works.
Molle Toyota, Kansas City, MO was my dealer, very easy to deal with the internet sales manager there. I test drove the vehicle upon arrival at dealership, paperwork was ready to go, finance manager wasn't high pressure. I did not purchase any warranty but might do so at a later date. I would recommend this dealership to family or friends - but I recommend to always be on guard at any dealership.
For what it is worth, I did have another offer of $34400 plus $129 doc fee, plus taxes and no other fees, but the dealership didn't have the actual vehicle in stock and they were quite a bit further from my home. (Molle Toyota's price was $97 higher - not much different when you consider you're spending $34K plus on a vehicle. And he threw in an extra wireless headset as an added incentive.) Plus, this other dealership called me at home when I had requested in my quotes that I be reached only by e-mail - they got a little too aggressive for me.
Love the Slate Metallic - sparkles and even has a hint of blue in it depending on the lighting. What a beautiful vehicle - it feels almost decadent to have it in my garage! I don't feel worthy of this vehicle!
We also purchased the Certified Platinum warranty for $980. http://toyotafinancialservices.com/consumer/tfs.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pg_- TCUVBenifitComparison
I'm just curious to find out what other people have been paying for the Certified Platinum warranty. Does $980 sound reasonable?
'09 XLE FWD w/ Value Package # 3 (Rear Entertainment)
MSRP 32,045
Invoice 28,586
TMV 30,550
Cap Cost around 30,900
Paid $2000 cash and had a trade-in worth $3500
Put nothing else in at signing $5500 covered all fees and put about $4000 towards the car
36 month lease, 12K/year
$308.41/month ($330 including tax)
Residual value $15,800
Another dealer offered $21,000 drive-out for a Sienna with all options above besides leather interior upgrade. Thank you so much for your comments. Please also advise how much is reasonable for me to negotiate with the dealers. BTW, I'm in Houston, Texas.
Good luck
Right now you can expect nearly $5000 off any Sienna that lists for more than $30,000. An LE with DVD and the other options mentioned shouldn´t be much more than 30,000. Look at Carmax.com in Maryland. They have the best prices i´ve seen, and no other dealer should be charging one cent more. Texas included. Your sale price with $1000 rebate on a 30,000 car should be approx 25 or 26K. Get the price first and then once you settle introduce the salesman to your possible trade in. A good MPG Corolla is worth alot!
good luck!
BTW, what is "donkeypunch" ??
Looks better than TMV on here, but I keep thinking that with this economy I really ought to be able to do better. Thoughts?
So, $23,937 would be around $200 over invoice, if this is correct.
Any thoughts? Thanks!!
Also, one salesman indicated good lease and APR rates thorough Toyota finance, but that's not listed either.
Thanks!
Talk to them about $25,500 - they really get mad - use high pressure tactics and various sales techniques to keep the price at $26,500 and make you believe that $26,500 is the cheapest price - When I refused to pay more than $25500 and walked out - they are really fuming........
When I was there - in these dealerships - I see a maximum 2 or 3 customers at any given time.
Later went to Honda dealer - Pleasure to deal with - Got a 2008 Odessey EX-L - Invoice $29,830 (TMV 27,830) - Got for $26,500 (with all dealer installed options such as mudguard, wheel locks, pin stripe etc) - On the road around $29,000.
People were constantly coming in and going out - definitely more traffic at Honda dealership (than at Toyota)
When drove out my Odessey - 4 odessey's left their lot (including mine) !!!!!!!!!
I'm a newbi and requires some urgent help from you pros...
This is a deal offered to me in Northen NJ
Sienna LE FWD 09
EVP #2
Daytime running lights
Floor Mats
Alloy locks
Pretty much standard configuration.
MSRP $28,052
Selling price: $25,700
After tax and registration, the financed price is: $28,111.56
How did i do?
Appreciate your prompt response.
I also went to Honda Saturday and they were dealing on 08 Odysseys but their base model 09 was stuck at about $24,500. I personally liked the base Sienna much better than the base Odyssey too.
I qualified for a low interest rate with Capital One before heading to the dealers, which I strongly recommend, because the dealer beat that rate, which was 5.47 for 60 months. Without this, I am sure the best quoted rate from dealer would have been higher, because they make money on these deals with finance companies also. I hope this info helps.

I just bought a sienna last night. FWD LE, EVP #1 w/ running lights, de-icer and floor mats. MSRP is $27,505. My negotiated and paid price $22,880. So nearly $5000 off of MSRP is possible. (this included the $1000 incentive to New England dealers)
I got my prive by calling around to at least 7-8 dealers around the Boston area. I told each one what my best price so far was, and gave them the chance to beat it. Offers were from about $24,500 to the one I choose. Only important distinction is that I was very upfront about planning to pay cash. Discuss any trade-in AFTER settling on a price. Make the dealership compeat against each other and you can get a great deal right now.
good luck

Why was it important for you that you told the dealers that you were paying cash? I thought that dealers preferred financing, since it meant that they got some kind of bonus for selling a financing contract. Is that accurate? Are you supposed to get a better deal with or without financing(even at 0%)?
In theory, at least, the credit crisis has made companies hungry for cash. Also, the companies lose money if they offer 0% financing- thats why many of the incentives are cash back OR 0% financing- one or the other. Today more than any time I can remember, cash is king.
You're right about everything you said. But I thought I remembered reading in a few posts that the dealer wants you to finance, since they get a kickback if you do. And in every case, we have to deal with the dealer, not the actual Toyota company, who is losing the money. The dealer could care less. Well, I'll have to test it out!
Thanks.
what would be the reasonable price to pay for 2009 Sienna Limited FWD with EVP # 2 and 3rd row power seat? Thanks in advance for your advice.
We are looking for a similar vehicle in the SF bay area. Which dealer did you get this quote from?

If you post info here don't muddle the post with your taxes and title charges, just the price offered less above and the options included. Remember, dealer closing costs are just another way to raisethe price, don't dismiss them as "part of doing business" its a cost to you, include it in your figures when comparing dealers offers.
Good Luck
Also includes 2.9% financing. Took that instead of the 1500 rebate.
Taxes extra.
This is about 6K below MSRP. How did I do?
What are the opinions about the extended warranty? it seems that from reading some posts the extended warranty doesn't seem to be worth much. thanks,
Can you please let me know the dealer in SFO bayarea from whom you bought XLE + EVP4
2009 Sienna XLE with:
Extra Value package # 1
JBL w/6-CD changer (option EJ)
fog lamps, daytime running lights and windshiled de-icer (option LF)
17" Alloy Wheels (option AW)
Floor mats (option CF)
Out the door price, including everything but taxes, was 28,064 (with 0% financing instead of 1000 rebate)
could you please tell me which dealer you went to? I am Boston area too, and plan to buy a sienna also.
Thanks in advance.
