#1063 of 8569 2004 Sienna LE by george66 Apr 08, 2003 (7:13 pm)
Just dove one home from Jay Toyota, Columbus, GA. Purchased through Internet Sales. No tricks at delivery. Highly recommend the dealership. Don't try to trade-in though. Depending on availability, should be able to get $800-1000 below MSRP. It was worth the 8 hours of driving. My local Toyota dealer is a rip-off artist!
#1064 of 8569 So. Cal. by vandit Apr 09, 2003 (6:12 am)
Hey guys...I am in the market for the new Sienna, and am apalled by the pricing on these fools...After reading all the threads on pricing, I was wondering where the best place to buy in California would be...Bakersfield, but socal is okay. I am looking to buy an LE (7passenger) with package#9.   Also, if the dealer doesn't have the car in stock, how does that play in the negotiation game? What is a reasonably low price to pay for the Sienna? Sorry for the many questions, but this is the first new car for me, and I don't want to mess it up...Thanks
#1065 of 8569 Advertising $1000 of MSRP in Dallas/Ft Worth by acrafton Apr 09, 2003 (6:20 am)
There is a dealership in Dallas (an honest one) and they are advertising in the paper $1000 of MSRP on 2004 Sienna's.   Adam
#1066 of 8569 Congratulations SoCal4!!!! by CindyM Apr 09, 2003 (11:07 am)
Way to go SoCal4!!!! And, thank you for sharing the info. It's great to have identified two dealers who have been coaxed into the 2% over invoice deal. We will be contacting them both today!!! The front page of today's LA Times Highway Section being devoted entirely to the Sienna may or may not help the cause!!
#1067 of 8569 Yeah, but will you ever see the van? by newcar35 Apr 09, 2003 (11:37 am)
When we first were looking for a Sienna, we were talking with a dealership that was MSRP or bust. We found one out of town that would take $1,000 off, and so told the city dealership "forget it". That city dealership said, "well, good luck seeing the car. Lots of places are taking orders they can't fill." We thought it was sour grapes. However, the out of town dealership hasn't done squat in 5 weeks, as far as we can tell. No build date on a preference, no swaps, no allocation (supposedly). We went to a 3d dealership who is also offering $1,000 off, but happened to have a van coming in that exactly matched what we wanted. So, now we have a build date and a tentative delivery date. Adios to the dealer who told us nothing in 5 weeks. Frankly, I get the impression that he'll be glad to have us cancel our order; he apparently agreed to the $1,000 off before he realized there were fools out there willing to pay him MSRP.   All I'm saying is, be careful. If you're forcing someone into a good deal for you, can you really be sure they will come up with the van? The 3d dealership said they had heard lots of places were taking orders to boost their numbers for Toyota, but can't/won't fill them. We wasted 5 weeks with a dealership before we wised up...

Just got a chance to browse another forum and see what they have to.   Forum: Nissan Quest 2004 Post No: 130
#1071 of 8569 Dealers=liars? by vandit Apr 09, 2003 (5:44 pm)
Silvia, I have a question for you. I have been in correspondence with Longo toyota and the dealer there accuses some people on edmunds.com as dealers who want people to stay out of the market for the new Sienna. Also, is it true that NO dealer will offer below MSRP on this car? Man, I am so peeved by what this dealer said. I mean, sure there is a high demand for this car, and limited supply, but there must be a dealer that doesn't take advantage of consumers by charging MSRP and above. Can you recommend any dealerships that are honest and are willing to do business without taking advantage of consumers? Also, is there any leverage that consumers can use to get the best deals possible on new cars such as the 2004 Sienna? Like you said in an earlier post, I am sure that anything over invoice is "gravy" for the dealers so why must they gouge prices like mad? Thanx

Sylvia may be hanging out with her fellow Odyssey owners now that I'm back from vacation. In any event, we have quite a few salespeople posting on Town Hall and most of them are very helpful. A few just want to solicit and their posts get deleted and they get invited to leave if they persist. It's pretty easy to spot a "shill" who is posing as a consumer or trying to "take people out of the market."   MSRP (or over) isn't unusual for a hot new car, even in the current economy. It's capitalism at its finest, and dealers always price their cars to sell at what the market will bear.   You can't really fault dealers for wanting to make a profit. What you can do is walk-away from a dealer that you think is gouging and taking advantage of the high demand.   Unless your current ride is dying or coming off lease, try to be patient and let the supply rise some. But if you want to be the first on your block, you're gonna have to pay for the privilege.   To find "reasonable" dealers, try a "blast email" (or fax) and be willing to travel some. Here's an article in our Buying section that may help:   Part One: Internet vs. Traditional Car Buying (read part two also).   Some dealers can be jerks, but just keep reminding yourself that you are the one with the money.   Steve, Host
