XLE with pkg 12 in Idaho by mattd10

I just completed a deal for an XLE with option pkg 12. It had started out as 4.5% (I offered 4%, they countered at 4.5 and I accepted) over invoice but when the van arrived it had the oak interior instead of the stone like I had asked for. After looking around a couple of regions, the dealer could not find one like I was looking for. After asking to start over with a new order/allocation, they offered me 3% over invoice for the van with the wrong interior. My wife felt the oak interior was fine so we accepted the deal. I also got a couple pairs of wireless headphones thrown in and using the money I saved, I purchased the 7 year/100K platininum extended warranty for $850. Price before a CD changer and extended warranty was 30,500. This was done in Pocatello, ID. I pick the car up tomorrow after they have a stereo dealer install a 12 disc CD changer. I am really looking forward to this van. This message board was a big help since I knew other people around the country were getting good prices. Thanks to all.

"I am trying to find a Silver LE with the #8 option package. The lowest price I have been able to find is $1350 below MSRP. This is still an 8% markup above invoice. Is this reasonable for this model with this equipment? I am thinking I will wait six months or a year to get one when the supplies are more plentiful. A 4% markup over invoice should be reasonable."
 
My response:
 
I agree; a 4% markup over Edmunds' invoice is fair and reasonable - in fact, generally more than fair. I bought a comparably-equipped LE 7 three weeks ago at slightly less than 4% over Edmunds' invoice (see my post #2623).
 
I expect to pay less and, perhaps, much less than 4% over invoice for a new vehicle, even one selling well and in limited supply. A surprising number of dealers will take such deals when you make a firm offer and stand your ground on price. Pay 5% if you're feeling really generous (but you shouldn't have to and I don't recommend it). See my post #2632 on structuring an offer.

"My Sienna LE-7 arrived last week. And I am picking it up tonight. My dealer quoted $875 for 6yr/100k and $985 for 7yr/100k, both $0 deductible. I offered them around $600 for 6yr/100k. I told them I get a similar deal from another dealer and they told they will match it. Is it a good deal?"
 
See post #2793; mattd10 paid $850 for a manufacturer's Platinum 7yr/100K extended warranty. You can get Toyota's prices on extended warranties at the company's Web site (www.toyota.com). That particular warranty retails for $1375 ($50 deductible) and $1425 (zero deductible), if I recall correctly.
 
I'd say mattd10 did very well.

I picked up my Sienna LE-7 last night. I finally got a deal for Toyota Gold 6yr/100k warranty (with $0 deductible) for $735. They could sell me the 5yr/100k with $50 deductible for $585. But I plan to keep this van for long.

I'm shopping for a Sienna XLE 7 FWD in the central Texas area and I'm willing to pay $1,000 over invoice. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who paid $1,000 or less over invoice in this area. My email address is in my profile. TIA

I am currently looking for an XLE with option package #14. Any help with dealerships in the Ohio region that are giving the best pricing?

What's a good deal these days on a...? by tdoh

XLE Limited AWD #5386 w/ HO/CF/GW/running board packages? I'm seriously thinking about joining the minivan crowd and consensus seems to be that the '04 Sienna is the "it" minivan to own this year.
 
Is $1500 over invoice still a fair deal these days, especially for the particular model I'm looking at? That's what one dealer here in the Sacramento, CA area is offering on the XLE/XLE Limited packages these days ($500 over invoice on CE/LE)...which comes out to roughly $3200 below MSRP for those of you who choose to calculate downward--not including TDA and other "non-negotiable" fees. I'm curious about this because I'm not used to paying that much over invoice for new vehicles--heck, my last purchase was for $400 over (not that great a deal but compared to what many of you paid for your '04 Siennas earlier this year, $400 over is a relative steal!) on an '03 Yukon XL.
 
This dealer also has another one similar to the above available, but includes glass breakage and wheel locks for $146 more--is that a good price for both, considering that MSRP for both is $208...or should those be "thrown" in at no additional cost?
 
Thanks!
