I know we did not get a great deal, but for Atlanta, it was a fair price. And how long would we have to wait before a Certified Used Sequoia loaded with all the stuff we wanted showed up again on a dealer's lot? Like I said, it was a fair price, just a bit below what Edmund's said we should have paid. So far we are thrilled with the vehicle, satisfied with the price. If this Sequoia performs half as well as our 2000 Sienna has, we will be very, very happy!
What are other folks paying for comparably loaded, 4-wheel drive 2003 Sequoias?
Can anyone confirm that the 4 wheel drive really does make the price much more expensive, and dealers less likely to bargain?
I am currently shopping for a 05 Limited, 4x4 with read dvd, airbags etc... We were looking at the Nav system but do not want the 2nd row buckets. One dealer told us that the nav system is only available with the lux pkg on the Limited (He happens to have a limited coming in with out the nav system).. So is he just trying to steer me to the vehicle coming in or is it true that to get the nav system, you have to get the lux pkg?
Once you get to Ltd/4x4, next (and usually last) step up is nav/dvd/lux pkg-usually all or none. Thats why I jumped on my ltd w/o dvd/nav/lux. 6CD, side curtain, everything but nav/dvd/lux. Nav would be nice, but needed dvd and already included lux-console and buckets a no go for me. I have a 61" home theater and doubt if my wife or I would ever sit in the 2nd row to watch a movie.
Mavric probably could special order but your "dealing hand" goes even further south!
Needless to say, I would recommend that all Toyota purchasers stay very clear of Atlantic Toyota in Amityville. They are unethical and downright nasty. please do not give them your business.
You have to special order it if you want Nav and Bench seat in the second row in the Southeast.
Just curious, what kind of price are you getting? The best deal I have found is the following:
4X2 Limited with 2nd row bench seat and the following options for $41,000
Side Airbags
DVD (10.4 Dropdown)
Rearview Camera Mirror
Rear Spoiler
Sunroof wind deflector
Molded Dash Applique
Window Tint (in front windows)
Daytime Running Lights
Interior Light Package
Carpet Mats
Custom Pin Stripe
Is this a good deal?

- Convinience Package
- 6 CD changer

Its a great vehicle. My wife loves it. Especially when she got it for the lowest possible price. Invoice: $35,949, got it for 34,934!!!
AG : Alloy Package # 2 ( Includes Privacy Glass )
DJ : JBL -> 10 speaker
GY : Curtain and Side Airbags
CQ : Convenience Package ( Compass, outside temp, garage )
KE : Keyless Entry
DR : Roofrack
RL : Running day lights
E5 : Exhaust Tip By Valor
Is this a good price ? What would be appropriate for this ?
I just picked up my SR5 yesterday and I really wanted NAV and DVD like I had in my Lexus. Not one dealer I went to could even get it for me.
I'm putting it all in aftermarket. Gonna get a nice Alpine setup. I have a local installer that has done tons of work for me that gives me good deals and does good work. It'll cost me about $4k, but it should end up being nicer than the factory stuff.
I think the NAV alone is about $2000. Two dealers actually told me to do it myself and one told me they would do it for me but with aftermarket products.
EJ
FE
GY
RL
D0 (Extra mile Option Package D)
EX - 10.4 DVD
P4 - Vehicle Shield package
for 41,800.
No one in Dallas FortWorth area could beat this price or come close to this.
Let me know if someone needs info on Dealership.
Thanks a lot.
Also, does anyone know if dealer is willing to give more discount for a truck like Sequoia with the current oil price?

Examples: ALL Corolla's, Matrixes, Scions, base Camry's and ANY sale vehicle earn the sales person $100 ...maybe $150 Max but no more. If a typical sales person spends the normal 23 working days a month including ( every Saturday for the rest of their lives ) and finishes with 13 new car mini payments then he/she earns ... $1500 that month or about $18000 per year... or about $7.00/hr... most leave after 4-5 months.
As my colleague posted above it doesnt matter whether a salesperson sells a $14000 Corolla or a $41000 Sequoia if its a mini deal then the sales person gets $100.
Here's what we got:
- 4x4 Limited
- Timberland Mica (Green) with Taupe (Beige) leather seats
- 50 State Emissions
- DVD Rear Entertainment System with 2 Wireless Headphones
- Rear Audio Controls & 115 Volt Power Outlet
- JBL AM/FM/Cassette/6 CD Changer with 10 Speakers
- Driver & Front Passenger Seat Mounted Side Airbags
- First & Second Row Side Curtain Airbags
- Rear Air Suspension
- Rear Spoiler
- Daytime Running Lights
- Preferred Accessory Package
- Exhaust Tip by Valor
- 7 Pin to 4 Pin Adaptor
- Extreme Cargo Mat

Convenience Package

Kelyless Entry

Ticker price $45,474, I paid $39,292(excl tax and register).
Dealer is Prestige Toyota in Ramsey, NJ.
Actually I got the same quote from North Toyota but they need 6~12 weeks to special order the vehicle for me. I went via pricegrabber.com and Presitige Totyota offered me a 2006 Limit for $43,000 (not bad at all), I decided not to pay 4000 extra for DVD. I emailed them about the SR5 with Nav and they told me they had the exact same vehicle (with my prefer color: Grey) available within days. They even delivered the vehicle to my office (40 miles from them). I also got the $100 coupon from pricegrabber by purchasing the vehicle through them within 14 days. So far, everything is cool, I love the vehicle.
I can't figure how this can happen. He said I would have to pay the first months payment, but he didn't mention a security deposit or any other fees. Did he 'forget' to mention these things, or can I negotiate my way out of the fees? How do they figure the leases?
I want to get a 2005/2006 Sequoia SR5 with leather, moonroof, air bags, tow, rear audio, and DVD.
Thanks
Your dealer can probably give you a ballpark figure off-the-cuff, because he sees quite a few of them every day.. Most 3yr/45K leases range from 1.1%-1.5% of MSRP, with only 1st payment and security deposit upfront..
Of course, the 1.1% of MSRP payments are the ones you want...
What is negotiable?
1) The purchase price
2) The money factor... this is the equivalent to the interest rate.. The bank sets the base rate, but the dealer can mark it up for extra profit, just like they would a loan rate.. always insist on the base money factor.
3) The acquisition fee... this is a bank fee.. sort of like closing costs.. again... there is a base fee, that the dealer can mark-up.. insist on the base fee..
4) Residual percentage.. This is set by the bank.. it varies by model and lease term/mileage.. This is not negotiable and the dealer can't change it.
Your dealer's estimate of $550-$560 monthly for a $41K vehicle certainly sounds like a good ballpark figure.. but, it would be dependent on the vehicle and lease program..

Has anyone heard anything about the 2007 Sequioa? When will it be out and what changes will be made? I don't want to buy one, but was wondering if it would significantly affect the prices of the 2006 models?

If you want a ballpark for residual values (big deal on a lease) go to leasecompare.com, enter your car, miles, term and look at the residual you get in the offers (they'll be a % of MSRP - for example, 36 month, 12k miles/year residuals are around 44-48% MSRP) the residuals vary big time between vehicles (compare US vs Japanese vs German cars and you'll see) and drives the lease cost big time.
Calculating a lease is easy - there's two components:
Depreciation = (Selling Price - Residual)/# months
Finance charge = (Selling Price + Residual) * Money factor.
now the money is just to throw you off:
Money factor = Interest rate / 2400 = Interest rate / (12 * 2 * 100)
Thus Finance charge = (Selling Price + Residual) * Interest rate/ (12 * 2 *100)
with some algebra:
Finance charge = (Selling price + Residual)/2 * (Interest rate/100) / 12
Finance charge = Average loan amount from lender * Interest rate as decimal / 12 (to make it monthly)
Then Depreciation + Finance charge = Monthly payment.
(note, Ford Motor Credit adds a ~2% "fee" into their lease calc and so the above formula falls short - they were getting sued big time about it, not sure where it ended up)
As you can see it's no different than a loan in that the selling price and interest rate are a big deal (the dealer will never tell you interest rate, they talk money factor - just multiply money factor * 2400 and that's your interest rate and should be comparable to loan interest rates) - so haggle the price!! The residual is a % of MSRP and is not negotiable, it is what it is for a particular vehicle - yet varies big time by vehicle and lender. The captive lender will usually give you better residuals to make their leases more competitive.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

Right now Toyota has a $2000 cash back.
So is "Invoice minus $2,000 cash back" a good price?
Rear Spoiler
JBL 6CD 10 speaker stereo
$42,500 OTD
Is this a good price?
Anyone get better deals than that?
Let make this forum a good resource for prices paid. I have gained some understanding of the Southern Cal market but am interested in seeing other's observations.
