Means the vehicle is on allocation to your dealer, and a projected build date, and ship date has been issued. Once it goes to "f" status it means the vehicle has been released to the trucking company for transport to the dealer. From there it goes to "g" status which means ground, and normally it will be at the dealership in 2-3 days after it shows on their inventory sheets as "g" status. : ) Mackabee |

| Thanks! How long does it usually take to go from "A" status to "G" status? Is one week a realistic time frame or should I expect it to be longer? | |
| Greetings All...We took delivery of our XLE Ltd 4 days ago. It's Phantom Gray with Stone interior..our first color choice. We placed our order in mid-April with a $500 deposit and were patient (like we had any choice). After speaking with many dealers in the Illinois/Wisconsin region, we decided to work with LeMieux Toyota in Green Bay, WI. (Please e-mail privately if you'd like our salesperson's name) We have package HF (aka Package #5)and also had a tow-hitch installed at the factory. With a 5 month old baby it's so nice to finally have our Sienna. We were treated fairly and received what we considered to be a fair deal...just about $3K under MSRP. Everything was done over the phone or via e-mail. There were no surprises, additional feeds, gimmicks, or tricks when my husband went to pick it up. A very nice experience overall. We love our new van and think it was well worth the wait and the 2.5 hour drive to pick it up! | |

WooHoo indeed. Congrats! Steve, Host |

Hi all, On July 3, I received a 2004 LE7 w pkg 4 (BI), CF and autodimming mirror in Desert Sand Mica for $24826 (invoice was $24326, MSRP $26775) from Valley Toyota in Sanger, CA. This price included shipping to my home in Portland, OR from Sanger, CA on a trailer - the van had 3 miles on the odometer when it got to me! As you might imagine, I was very nervous buying a car long distance. An added wrinkle was that Oregon has no sales tax (yes!!!); in order to not pay sales tax while buying from California, I was required to take delivery outside CA. Valley Toyota was very prompt in fedexing me the contract and arranging transport in time for the long July 4 weekend. I negotiated the deal the week before I got the van. I tried calling several Toyota dealers in Oregon and Washington; none were close to Valley Toyota on price. Few had any vans in stock, and when they did, they weren't willing to discount them much - it seems they are staying on the lots for only a few days. I did have access to Columbia Fleet pricing (1% over invoice) but they were quoting 110-day lead times. I needed the van sooner than that. It still seems a little unreal to me; previous to this experience the biggest thing I had bought over the internet was a digital camera. My salesman and the store general manager answered all my questions patiently and understood my reasons for asking them. The only minor blemish was that the gas tank wasnt full. The van is silken-smooth. We took it on a beach trip over the weekend, and it seemed to be gliding over the road. At this writing, I'm still awaiting the MSO certificate from Valley Toyota; I'm sure they will send it promptly. And to think I've never stepped into Valley Toyota (or Sanger, for that matter!) |

I originally posted this June 25 in the Sienna board. I just received an email from my dealer that the production week is August 11. We just ordered a FWD XLE today with the GJ and CF options. MSRP was 35,511--our price was 34,610. It's not a great discount, but I was expecting to pay MSRP. The delivery is 45 to 60 days out. This has most options except for the Nagivation system. |

Congrats on the new van! I think California is still going to get you on the tax when you try to register it. Assuming you do register it where you live  There's some info at the California DMV about this here. Maybe the use tax is different than a sales tax? When I got my used car in sales tax free AK last April, I had to pay ID sales tax when I registered it. Steve, Host |

On a Sienna you are looking at an average of 6-8 weeks from allocation to ground status. : ) Mackabee |
