I to am in Ga (savannah) - I bought my car from the Toyotacenter in columbia, SC - They carry no inventory on the Sienna, but will order exactly what you want color, packages etc. You can even get it without Toyoguard like I did. They will give you a fair price - and you pay no doc fees etc, all you will pay is price plus tax, tag and title. I can give you my sales persons name if you want. I think they will come off $1500 on a LE model. I got my 8 pass le for 2k off MSRP there. They are straightforward and play no games. my email is nyfn1yahoo.com

ad11ad - I have a better luck in MA. I ordered the same car back in October. Give me your email (on your user profile) and I will tell your the details.

As long as you are willing to pay MSRP plus $1200, you can have immediate delivery. No one else in the area has any with options, my order is in for XLE FWD with #14, for $800 under MSRP (best deal I could get in the area). 8-10 weeks delivery.
#2545 of 8610 lok888 -- send me an e-mail by farmer64 Nov 13, 2003 (12:43 pm)
lok888 -- I am interested in your experience in MA. I've been shopping around for a 2004 LE with package #1 (AM) + floormats (the most common "stripped down" LE that seems to be available in greater Boston) and the universal response seems to be "MSRP". I'll admit that most of my shopping thus far has been via e-mail and phone with internet sales managers, but before I start negotiating in earnest, I'd like to hear your story.   Please see the e-mail address in my profile -- I'd like to hear about your experience.   Thanks   -Chris

#2548 of 8610 How to Negotiate by corpus Nov 13, 2003 (7:46 pm)
We've all been told to negotiate from invoice up, not MSRP down, yet I see people saying how much they got off MSRP, without questioning the MSRP. You have to know what they pay for it first, then offer them $500 or $1,000 profit (which, when added to the 2% holdback, is pretty good for them).   Well, when my local dealer said he'd give me $750 over invoice, I said OK. Now I'm finding out that his base price is $732 below Edmunds.com invoice, but he then adds Holdback and Finance Reserve. These two things total $732, bringing the invoice price in line with Edmunds.com. He then adds TDA ($268), PIO-HB ($13) and MAF ($139), for an additional $422.   Total dealer profit on this deal would be $750 plus $422 plus $488 holdback, for a total of $1,660.   I'm still shopping this deal around South Texas. One other dealer (Red McCombs-San Antonio) will do a similar deal.   So, has anyone had success in deleting the TDA and MAF? Steve, do the holdback and Finance reserve both go to the dealer? How valid are the invoice prices edmunds.com gives? Where do they come from?
#2549 of 8610 women better car buyers?? by kinct Nov 13, 2003 (8:02 pm)
Now, now, let's not be sexist... This is clearly one that varies by individual. My wife is NOT a negotiator. Period. In fact, I have learned that she will NEVER again be in on a major negotiated purchase - she can pick what she wants but it is MY job to buy. She gets emotionally involved and won't walk away. She gives in. Not good...
#2550 of 8610 lok888 can you tell me where you bought you car by firstian Nov 13, 2003 (8:10 pm)
I'm in MA as well, and I'm looking around for a XLE AWD.   Thanks,

do the holdback and Finance reserve both go to the dealer   As far as I know, yes they do.   Our invoices are always spot on. You can double-check us with the competition anytime The invoices come from various sources depending on who the manufacturer is.   Here's another technique for you - negotiate from your out the door price and don't worry about who gets to collect the holdback or TDA or Toyoguard or whatever.   Kinct, women either buy or influence the purchase of 85 percent of all new cars and trucks sold in the United States today. They may or may not be great negotiators individually but a salesperson best learn to sell to them.   Winning Women Over in the Car-Buying Process   Steve, Host
