I sent you an e-mail, but for the list I will say that I worked with 355Toyota and their internet sales person [team?] to settle on a price and model options. Their website is 355Toyota.com, which is part of DARCars. I worked with the Rockville dealership.
 
I should say that I did no real negotiating with them. They had posted their internet prices and that's what I asked for and received. That price is different now than it was then...$1300 higher now on the LE7, even higher on some of the other models. And...either their inventory is extremely low or they are only offering internet pricing on certain vehicles, because the list today is only 25% of what it was when I was shopping the week between x-mas and new years.
 
I should say that while I was treated o.k. in the end, this dealership is not of the relaxed no haggle style. You are met at your car door and your steps are shadowed until you are back in your car. Despite the fact that I had made my deal over the internet, three salesman 'discussed' how I was their customer--since I had been in to look at inventory the night before when someone had shadowed me despite my "just looking" comments, someone had met me at the car when we arrived to make the deal, and it was someone else's turn to take over an internet sale--their interenet sales model has a salesman take over the deal with help from the internet contact.
 
 Very funny to me, but you should be prepared. I went in with a price, an exact model, my financing in place and nothing to trade. I can only imagine stumbling in and trying to make decisions under pressure. Thanks to Edmunds for all the information they make available.

don't ever buy at Naperville Toyota in Chicago by esteem

salesperson at this dealership are so adament and rude. they dont care if you buy the vehicle at their store or no. I have had this experience twice, once about a yr ago when I was shopping for a used car, the guys even did not call me back to check for my offer, plus no courtsey of asking me to come inside the showroom.
Second time around, that is last week when I went to check out the Sienna, the guys even did not show any interest, asked for my license, photocopied it and gave me the keys of the car and asked me to take a test drive on my own. and again same thing, no call backs.
Anyway, not sure if this is the roght forum to post such a message, but I just want people to be aware of this dealership. its on Ogden avenue, in naperville, IL.

esteem -- To me, not having a salesguy distracting me talking during a test drive, and not having them try to tug me into the dealership would be a dram come true, at least for me (smile). Some dealers/salespeople use a softer sell approach. Also, with the Sienna, given its popularity the more they make you work to buy the car the more they are likely to get from you on the sale.
 
kennyh28 ... we have had the same car on order for only two weeks in the midwest (minneapolis), but we are acquaintenances with one of the managers at the dealership who actually showed me the official inventory website for the entire Chicago seven-state region. Out of many thousands of cars, only seven AWD Ltds, all of which were either commited or in the process of being sold. I think dealers get new allocations of cars every other week, so I'd be bugging them for specifics as to the status of your order at least that often.

UBS Buying Success by penshammer13

Trying to get a good price on an XLE has been very difficult in northern Virgina; that is until I found United Buying Service (UBS) to aid us in our conquest. I could only squeeze a $1300 discount at the most for XLEs priced >$34K at many dealerships. I read a Quest post that buyers in the Washington DC metro area could get Quests for just a few hundred dollars over dealer invoice, so I pursued this opportunity for the Sienna.
 
UBS is a service affiliated with many credit unions (CUs) in the Wash DC area. I searched the web and found out that one of the CUs I was a member at had a tie to UBS. So I completed a form on the UBS website and a day later had leads to 2 Toyota dealerships that used the pre-negotiated UBS pricing. The second email told me to forget about the 1st dealership (in NoVA) because although they dealt UBS deals, they did not honor the pricing for the Sienna -- some dealers are just too greedy. So I had to trek just a few more miles along the Wash Beltway to Bethesda, MD, to get my vehicle.
 
The salesman I dealt with over the phone was great to work with and even went to bat for me to try and get the extended warranty at a lower cost. He gave me the price for the vehicle over the phone and 2 days later my wife & I went to pick up "her" new XLE.
 
We ended up getting XLE option package 14, X1 preferred equipment pckg, and the wireless rear headphones. MSRP was $34,080 but we purchased the vehicle for $31,244; $1500 cheaper than the best price I could find in the area. I wasn't pleased with how the dealership tried pushing additional aftermarket packages on me (LoJack, rustproofing, glass treatment, etc.) or how they wouldn't initially come down on the extended warranty too much -- but we got the car we wanted at an awesome price.
 
Ended up getting the 7yr/100K mi $0 deductible platinum extended warranty for $850 from another dealership in Chantilly near my office. If you can't get your price on the warranty when purchasing the car, I recommend you to shop for it afterwards.
 
We highly recommend UBS for those buyers in the Wash DC area. It was a great experience and saved as some dough. Good luck!

Just bought a 7 passenger FWD LE BW(#7)package in NJ. Supply is better then it has been as I have been shopping for 6 mos. Condit Toyota in Newton had 5-6 on lot (all LEs with either the BW or AM package) They had 2 8 passengers LEs on lot. No AWDs or XLEs(one was picked up that day by a customer). Towne Toyota also had 6-8 on lot last week, but most had rear spoilers and/or running boards. Dealers in NJ are starting to budge off of full sticker. Got mine for $1,500 under from Condit. Admin fee of $199 was added.
