When I leased my Highlander in '05 they told me that if I came back and purchased/leased another car from them they would waive the excess mileage charge. I was pretty naive to listen to them. I expect they will try to add the excess mileage cost to the price of the new vehicle - so I'd end up paying interest on the excess mileage. I've haven't gone back to talk to them but I'll be curious to see what tricks they have up their sleeve. I know better now and I'll go elsewhere.
Thanks to all the posts, I know to ask for Michelin tires and not accept the Goodyears. I've got Michelins now on my HL and they lasted over 50K miles.

MSRP was $37,798, I got it for $33,606, thats $4,192 off MSRP or 11%. I was really shocked, I simply told them they have to meet or beat out of state dealer prices or the game is over. Hope this tip is helpful to others.
I picked up my Venza V6 AWD with Premium Package #1 and JBL Synthesis audio yesterday. I also added a reverse sensing system (Echomaster) and some accessories (wheel locks, carpet mats, rear bumper protector). It's Magnetic Grey with Ivory interior.
I'm very happy that I went with the Ivory interior -- it contrasts nicely with the grey exterior.
I paid approximately $2.8K under an MSRP of just over $35K (with accessories, but before tax, title, etc.). I'm in Honolulu, Hawaii, but purchased from a dealer on another island.
Over the year and a half, my "decision" went from Highlander to 2009 Murano to Highlander Hybrid, and finally to Venza. All of these are great vehicles. It really does depend on your needs and wants and how each of these choices stack up against them.

I'm from the metro ATL area - and we're ready to negotiate on a Venza. Trying to decide if it's worth waiting for the 4 cyl. Did you price include GA tax?
Thanks
I thought about waiting for the 4 cyl but weighed in these factors vs the 6 cyl;
> The new I4 is already available in the Highlander which I heard was underpowered for the larger vehicle. I also understand the Venza is heaver than the Highlander, although I didn't verify the weight. If it's true, then the I4 could be underpowered on the Venza as well.
> The V6 has been in the Toyota family for a few years and has good reviews, especially in the Avalon.
> I4 is new, which scared me a little. Keep in mind the MPG difference between the two engines is 1 MPG different.
> I plan on using the towing option, therefore the V6 makes the most since.
We've had the vehicle for almost 2 weeks now and love it. Took it up to the mountains over the weekend and put it on some 40 +/- degree inclines and this thing pulled great.
Check with Fitzmall again, I got a call from them yesterday, they are now pricing Venza's at $269 below invoice. Old price was $400 above invoice. They are going to be hard to beat.
Good luck!
You make excellent points about the 4 cyl vs. 6 cyl. I've been thinking about the weight of the vehicle as well, and another point is the 1 mpg difference. We're trying to decide if it's worth it to wait it out and test drive the 4 cylinder. One dealer may have one by late next week. (here in metro ATL) On the other hand, I'm hoping that they're ready to make some decent deals this weekend, being the end of the month and all.
Thank you so much for your advice. I'll look into Fitzmall. I did check in with Car Max in MD - just asking a few questions, etc. It's great to hear that you're enjoying your new Venza. I test drove it last weekend, and I like what I'm seeing.

Just purchased a brand new 2009 V6 AWD Venza from Darcars Toyota of Silver Spring for $33489 plus TTL. The MSRP was 37K odd and dealer claimed invoice was 33,889. It may not be a great deal but I am glad that my search is over. This car drives like a tank. Very study and stable. I liked the options inside and it is very easy to get in and out of the car. I was replacing a Lexus RX330 and this was a OK compromise as it was a little cheaper. The only thing I missed was the moon roof and seat memory. I did buy the extended warranty for 875 for 8 years and 100,000 miles. The finance guy offered me a platinum protection plan for 1600 and when I said I don;t want it he reduced the price to 875. Note I am sure you all will be able to negotiate this as well if needed.
I may have done better if I had searched and done my home work. But I needed to replace my car quick and I had actually not considered this car before seeing it in the show room.
Thanks

The weather is unpredictable here yesterday we had Tornados today Snow. Should get about 3inches with thunder,first snow in 3 yeras here.Should be 70 later this week :shades:
I should get my venza this week. I will keep it off the road nobody can drive in this mess,

They got this Auto4Life program as standard

Drove the Venza from Washington DC to Chesapeake VA and back. Caught in the middle of a snowstorm on the way back. No need for AWD, FWD handled the snow very well.
I read about the stiffness in suspension. I don't feel it at all. Car got Michelin tires. Get the Voice Activated Navigation. Great sound system. Overall, it it a great car. Got people along the road giving me thumbs up!
I drove a 4 cyl highlander to test the engine. The 4 is powerful but not refined after driving the V-6. So no 4 cyl venza coming my way..
My guess is that real world gas savings will be 1-2 despite EPA estimates. We got 27.7 mpg on 100 mile trip home at 68 mph or so. Regular gas is a plus.
Was surprise satellite radio standard even on non navi and non JBL model. Nice surprise.
thanks
Congrats. I may get the V-6 as well if the mileage spread is this small. What I'm really curious about is if the V-6 may even get better mileage than the I-4 at higher speeds like 75 (or even 80).
Anything over 2.0 in the inline four is going to vibrate like crazy. Hence balance shafts which actually are power suckers.
Consumer reports noted how the V-6 vs the inline 4 was so close on the RAV4 that if you have $1600 buy the V-6.
Maybe Venza four will be civilized better...
Only had two in stock and mine was the first one sold. from my dealings, I think reliable toyota in springfield, MO has more inventory and same pricing.
I would never buy in OK due to gulf states add ons..
Because it's used there wouldn't be the normal dealer up charges, i.e., TTL and Prep fees, $32,499 would be it. MSRP was $38,444, that's a savings of $5,945 off MSRP and NO TTL and Prep fees. If I hadn't already bought one 2 weeks ago, I'd be on this one like a Duck on a June Bug even if I had to make a trip to NJ.
If anyone buys it please post to the forum.
Thanks, Gabill
Go for it!
The 2.4 in my ride is pretty bad over 4k rpm, but below 3k pretty darn smooth. Amazingly smooth at idle. This a 4-speed auto. Geared correctly, the 6-speed can keep the revs down.
This 2.7L is the first large 4 with Dual VVT-i. Cylinders are more than 15% larger than the V-6. Smaller bore and longer stroke, too. The bore and stroke numbers for the I-4 are 3.54 x 4.13 vs the V-6's 3.70 x 3.27.
Maybe the final answer to smoothness comes down to how good a job they do with the engine mounts.

What would be realistic price for V6 FWD with no additional options in NYC area? :confuse:
Invoice + destination charge = $25,740
Do you think it is possible to get the price below this?
Alabama here; I just negotiated for my wife a Barcelona Red Metallic, 2WD, V6, Navigation, Premium Package 2, Panoramic Glass Roof, Tow Prep Pckg, Carpet and Trunk Mats, and Accent Stripe for a total MSRP of $37,188 and my Out The Door price including tax and title is $35,500. They knocked off $3,053.18 off MSRP. Is this a good deal????
TIA
Also, went to a site called www.ToyotaLetsTalk.com and checked that my IPhone 3G would work with the Venza Bluetooth and it will. If you're curious about whether your Bluetooth will work on your next Toyota, check it out.
Thanks to everyone for your posts. It's helped me a lot during this process.
http://toyota.letstalk.com/brands/toyota-bt/home.htm. The website lists the Iphone and Iphone 3G. It doesn't list the 2G. I don't know the differences between the three.
