#2837 of 8607 Good Price on Sienna XLE Limited by bkb2003 Dec 21, 2003 (7:39 pm)
After 2 months of following this discussion board, finally purchased by Sienna XLE limited yesterday for Eddie Wiggins Toyota in Warner Robins, GA. I was able to get it for $500 over dealer invoice. Here in Georgia ( SET territory ) the invoice prices are higher than what is quoted in edmunds.com.   Basically, my price was $33415 + Tax (6%) + Title ( $21) + $399 documentation fees for a final walkout price of $35864.   The dealer invoice was $32915 which as you can see was more than what you see in edmunds.com but very close to some of the other commonly researched websites. The vehicle details are Sienna XLE Limited -- Salsa Red. Options Center Console Box - GVAT Toyo Guard Plus - XY70 Rear Spoiler -- CX90 Carpet Mats -- PV70. I can provide more details if anyone needs it.

I forgot to mention that the salesman was very honest throughout and upfront. No games. He said $500 over invoice and would not give anything more. I was very pleased with the buying experience overall. I also purchased the 7 year 100000 mile extended warranty ( platinum ) from Toyota for $1078. I asked the dealer about others who have purchased the warranty for less than that and he showed me a price list which said that $1078 was the dealership cost and he was giving it to me at cost.   I wanted to find out from others here if Extended Warranty is recommended and is it worth it.   Interestingly, my local toyota dealers in Atlanta area would not match the price. They were quoting over $2000 more than what I got the van for.   You can checkout www.eddiewigginstoyota.com. I am told that they ship vehicles to other parts of the country as well. I myself found out about them only from this website and I want to thank racewalker ( id? ) from virginia who first posted information about eddiwigginstoyota in this discussion board.   Now, i can get to enjoy the vehicle and learn all the features over the holidays.   Happy holidays and smart shopping to everyone.   Lastly, can anyone point me to the delivery checklist? I could not locate it. I would have loved to have it before taking delivery of my vehicle.

Your doc fee was a bit pricy there. Congrats on the new van!   Here's a checklist for an Odyssey; should work ok for any van or car though.   Steve, Host
#2840 of 8607 great buying !! by jamesdean171 Dec 22, 2003 (9:29 am)
I just got my Sienna CE home, what a great van, I also got a nice deal on this. This board helped me a lot on how to buy a van, I would like to share this with everyone, hopefully others can get same deal as me.   I started to look for 2004 Sienna, but end up with either MSRP or $500 below MSRP in Chicago area. I send out quite a few emails to dealers in other areas. One dealer in Iowa gave me $600 over invoice.   The salesperson is straightforward person, gave the best price he can offer at the beginning, and you don't need to worry about hassale. Everything was on email, we even didn't spoke to each other until last day of delivery. That is very convenient for a computer geek like me. I put $500 deposit down in Nov, and surprisedly got the van deliveried in Dec 15. I took 3 hours to drive there. The salesperson waited for me even though he supposed be home 2 hour ago. He already took care of all the papers before I arrived, only I need to do is sign/sign/sign, and I drove away the new Sienna after 10 minutes I arrived. What a pleasant experience! compared to all the hassle I got from other dealers in Chicago.   He did show me to his fleet manager, who wanted to sale me an extend warranty, 7 year/75k for $695, which is at least 30% off from MSRP price --> $1025? I took it. I may get another $100 off, but I was so tired after long drive..but anyway, it doesn't like a bad deal. (I know Toyota is reliable, but my wife's Corolla did break down...)   Anyway, I would like to recommend this dealership and the salesperson to everyone, especially it is hard to find a good deal on CE. I figure you can get a good deal on other high-end model too, of course. Email me if you are interested.

Hi, Have found this board to be addicting! I am in market for LE/8 pass...can anyone lead me to a dealer in the philly/so.jersey area that is not offering MRSP and willing to deal?
#2842 of 8607 Jersey by stickguy Dec 22, 2003 (11:25 am)
having recently been looking, the market here is still tight (although I only actually went to 2 dealers). Supply is tight, but I did get offered a "good deal" on an XLE limited with the DVD system and all the goodies. Didn't want that model, but they really seemed anxious to work something out.   I believe that Turnersville is advertising some in stock, and may be discounting a bit (maybe 1K, not sure about add-on accessorys).   I don't see you getting any $500 over invoice deals in this market. Too bad I don't still travel to Memphis on business, sounds like they have extra down there.

markjacq1--do you know if those NorCal dealers are offering $500 over invoice on all Siennas or just the CE/LE trim? One NorCal dealer told me that his dealership was still offering no lower than $1500 above invoice on fully-loaded (e.g., DVD and/or Nav-based packages) XLE/XLE Limited trim, but was willing to do the $500 above invoice + TDA/etc.) for the CE/LE. Unfortunately in my case, I happen to be looking for an XLE Limited AWD w/ HO/CF/spoiler package...one that isn't easily found in abundance.

bkb2003, are you talking about a 2003 model? I went to eddiewiggins.com and found their "build it yourself" applet seems to refer to 2003 models only.   ?
#2845 of 8607 in the market? by steve_ HOST Dec 22, 2003 (1:30 pm)

Try Team Toyota in Langhorne. We got $1500 off MSRP without trying hard. Twist the Sales Managers' arm some and you can get them down to at least $1700 (we did it on an LE7 with option #7 and Z1). We did order it cheaper somewhere else though.   Good luck.   R
