You make the call -- good price or not?
If so, that answers my question -- the quote I got wasn't so good. And it also confirms that my desire to pay around $30K isn't unreasonable.
For example, ECP for 84 (7yrs) months/120,000 km (75K miles.) lists for $1,675 Cdn. :P
Compare this to US quotes in this forum "Platinum Plan" 100,000 mile 7 year, $0 deductible at $985 US.
Has anyone been able to secure a lower cost for this in Canada?
MSRP before PDI, air tax etc was $43730. My price $40,344 (less the $3,386)
Has anyone done better here? :confuse:
P.S. they tacked on a fee of $249 for registering my window?
CLAT (DLCC - cruise)
VSAT (VSC - stability)
PV50 (4 floor mats and 1 trunk mat)
MG30 (mudguards)
wheel locks
If anyone has any better deal, please let us know...
BTW, my TTL would be around $1,000.
Is that good, bad or indifferent? It's far less than some have posted in this forum, but the higher discounts were for Limiteds.
XLS orLimited Phantom Gray Pearl with Graphite...No Discounts from MSRP please.
What are sales going for ABOVE INVOICE at the moment..
Regional info would be helpful. IE Boston=Invoice+$1000.
If invoice includes some "interesting" charges, please include.
was $1200. This is also a figure I was given from a local dealer. Is this a "Magic" number?

(sorry about the formatting - I tried to clean it up - it is directly from the build sheet)
My "out the door" price (plus Tax, title and registration) was a negotiated $35,995.00
I also bought the 7 year/100,000 - zero deductible Toyota Platinum Extended Warranty for $1200.00 and Koons also threw in the 2 year, 25,000 mile service plan - the one on the 3,000 mile intervals.
I AM VERY PLEASED with my buying experience - as an "ex-loyal" Infiniti Q45 owner (for 14 years) - I was treated better than ANY Infiniti dealer I have ever dealt with. No upselling, no undercoating push, no leather protectorant, nothing, notta. I would highly recommend Koons of North Arlington, VA to anyone in the area. An added bonus is that the dealership is only 5 blocks from my residence.
I have had the Avalon for 2 weeks now and am VERY impressed. I will be posting my driving and MPG experiences within a few weeks on the Avalon 2005/2006 board.
I know I could have bargained for the 7/100,000 plan since I have read that the dealer cost is $985, but since I got the 2006 for basically the same price of our agreed upon deal of a 2005, plus they threw in the Remote Start (I did not order) and the 2 year/25,000 service plan - I did not think I needed to.
$2,500 off MSRP - PLUS a great trade in (better than Infiniti offered me on a $64,100 Q45 Premium) - basically a matter of economics.
I am VERY happy !!! :shades:
I have 500 miles on her so far and, although most of it has been highway miles (DC to Philly) - I have averaged 32.8 mpg. NICE !!!
Thanks for listening.

I think I will stick to this car for a long time
Thanks!
Around the sametime I got $4700 off the MSRP of $31980 for a 05 Maxima (including the $1500 rebate) which has a lot more bells and whistles than the Avalon. Maybe someone can enlighten me why the Maxima is a bad choice over the Avalon. (I am more concern with the mechanical issues and resale value of the two cars).

CL Dynamic Laser Cruise Control (CLAT)

Wheel Locks (??)
It is "supposed" to be less than $400.00 over invoice and I am sure it is a good offer, but not good enough for me...
Final price including all fees except TTL = $33,755.
Does anyone know of any XL White/Black existing?
I will give them a call right now!
Can you kindly give me a hint or initils so that I can identify the same person?
I heard that ithe Avalon has lag at lighter load/some funny hesitation with the automatic. Have you experienced that?
Is the car very quiet. I found the 04 Avalon not to be much quieter than the Camry. Any comment?
Congrats on your purchase of your new Avalon, and special kudos for picking the Most Excellent Color of Silver Pine Mica! You have now joined a small but very exclusive band of folks who picked the BEST color they offer. I have enjoyed mine for all of (almost) three weeks now and love it... take care!
Mike
Thanks!

I live in CT and already visited a local dealership and test drove the Limited. I have spoken with other dealerships in the area outside of CT. I am willing to drive a few hours to pick up the car, but not too far. I have not yet dicussed pricing with the local dealer, however, in talking with other dealerships outside CT, the best price I have been quoted thus far is $1,000 over invoice no matter what the model or options. Simply add $1,000 over the invoice. This, of course is before TTL.
What is a reasonable price I should pay for this car? What I mean by reasonable is I don't want to spend too many hours/days/weeks trying to find (let alone drive or fly to) that one dealership in the midwest just to save a few hundred dollars so I can say I did.
I am just looking for a gauge. Thanks.
Thanks
What is Fax Attack in terms of how to use that to reach a sales manager - my logic is it makes the case much simpler. I respect the rule.
What is OTD? Is 32,100 after tax. Apparently, 32,100 without tax is still around 30,xxx and that represents a few hundred above Invoice. Without any rebate/incentive program this early on from Toyota, that is a neutral enough situation; and pricey when compared against a similarly loaded Maxima for significantly less.
Next, went to dealership in next town 10 minutes away. Told them my experience of the first dealership in the town I live. In no less than 5 minutes, they made offer of $30,531 for 2006 XLS Phantom Gray Pearl with Ivory leather interior (had in stock due to swap with Rhode Island dealer) with VSC, CF, WL, FE. I didn't hesitate since their price was only $100 more than the best prices I researched on the internet in New Hampshire and Massachussetts. Could I have gotten some more off? Perhaps, but given the little time invested and the fact that I pick the car up tomorrow and don't have to drive or fly hours to get it, it's worth the extra I may have paid.

with around $31,000 OTD, but you need to be patient and shop around...
What I paid for this basic XL was $27790 out the door.
The salesman I boutht it from was an awsome salesman.
The dealer will be adding aftermarket leather upholstery for $1000. I checked the aftermarket leather out on another car they had on the lot, and it looked outstanding!
I almost got the touring for another $2000, but The only things I wanted out of the touring were the leather upholstery and the HID headlamps. I have no desire for a stiffer ride, however, so I decided to go with the XL and add the leather. Tires on the XL will be cheaper too.
