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 9654 great buying !! by jamesdean171 Dec 22, 2003 (8:29 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 9654 Jersey by stickguy Dec 22, 2003 (10:25 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 9654 in the market? by steve_ HOST Dec 22, 2003 (12:30 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

bartpg,   No, I am talking of 2004 Sienna. The website is actually www.eddiewigginstoyota.com. I did not actually try to build a sienna with custom options. I took one which they had in their current inventory. Mine had 16 miles on it and was in the lot for about 3 weeks. It had a spoiler and toyoguard plus which I was not keen about, but I felt I could live with it since the price was much better than what I was getting from other dealers in the Atlanta area.

in #2829 bartpg writes:   "I gave dealer 2 my offer up front, told him it was fair and firm, and asked that we not go back and forth. He took the offer to the manager, and came back within a minute, with 24360! Keep in mind that the sticker was $25860 - straight MSRP, without any extra crap.   I countered with a 2nd but final offer of 24125, a $75 increase. I told him that if he came down to this price, I would buy. But then I started having pangs of guilt, that if I bought tonight, dealer 1 wouldn’t even have a chance to negotiate on a car we actually wanted more. So I told dealer 2 that instead of completing the deal, I would come back tomorrow, when I could inspect the car in daylight. Bad thing to say to a someone intent on selling, as dealer 2 surely was. He went to his manager and immediately came back and agreed to my counteroffer. I again stated my reservations, and the salesman cut the price, without the aid of his manager, to my original offer!   I had now spent 20 minutes at the table, and was feeling guilty about the whole thing. Even though there was an arguably good deal on the table, I still felt that I should give dealer 1 a chance. I was doubly confused at how easily I was getting this deal. I tried to graciously get us out of there, when dealer 2 did something I have never seen any car salesman do, and probably never will again.   Dealer 2 cut my original offer by about $200 and asked if that would work, pending his manager’s approval. Thirty seconds later he came back with the new lower figure. It’s now 9:20, and we’re done! What’s wrong with this picture?"   My response:   Nothing...and, yes, a little ambivalence can work to your advantage. I haven't tried that approach while buying, though. I doubt I could pull it off as adeptly as you did!!
