ppnff - chicago dealer by anildel

The financing is from Chase Manhattan bank and the dealership is schaumburg toyota.
 
the deal was pretty smooth. Internet department was good in communication and delivered the van to me exactly at price negotiated and on time.
 
Since I wanted Arctic Frost Pearl with package 14, floor mats with sil etc, it was not in their lot and I had to wait for 4 weeks before they got one.
 
hope it will help you.

Melody Toyota Buying Experience by devsienna

We picked up a Salsa Red XLE Limited w/option package 5,
floor-mats/door-sill protection, and an extra pair of headphones,
for $35,750 from Melody Toyota in San Bruno, CA (San Francisco Bay
Area). MSRP on this is $37,248. We ended up saving $1500 off of MSRP,
which isn't too bad. However, this was about 6 to 7 percent above
invoice, which is a bit more than I wanted to pay, but still
reasonable, I think, given the demand for this car.
 
We originally wanted an XLE in Stratosphere Mica w/option package 14,
but there appeared be none in the area matching that. We briefly
considered an LE on the lot that had most of the options we wanted,
but realized we would be giving up too many other options that were
important to us. Apparently there aren't many Straosphere Micas in
the Bay Area, period.
 
Our decision to get the XLE Limited over an XLE came mostly down to
color choices. Even though the dealership had plenty of XLE's in
stock with most or all of the options we wanted, none of them were
in colors that we wanted. We ended up getting more of a car than
we meant to because we had to have Red, Blue or Green for a car
color. While we could've ordered a specfic model in the options
we wanted, we didn't feel like waiting 10 to 12 weeks for it.
 
While we already had financing from my credit-union at 5.45%, the
dealer managed to get us 4.82% from Chase Manhattan, so we went
with Chase Manhattan.
 
Buying from Melody Toyota for the most part was a pleasant experience.
We walked in Monday night at around 7pm and walked out around 10pm
with a new car. The dealership closes at 9pm, but they stayed late
to complete the deal, and let us leave one of cars on the lot until
we could come pick it up the next day. They were willing to deal on
the car's price, went the extra mile to get us the car that night,
and didn't pressure us at all. We did have to go back the next day
to get the remote for the DVD player, but that was only thing missing.
All in all, it was a good buying experience.

Atlanta Toyota great experience by atlantaboston

About two weeks ago, the DW and I purchased a 2004 Sienna LE w/ #4 package for $25,500. The MSRP was $28,499. Had a great buying experience with the dealership and would recommend anyone to check them out, especially at month-end when sales quotas need to be filled. We love the van and can't wait to use it on a road trip to Walt Disney World!

Superstition Springs Toyota-Phoenix by got1b

Should pick up a Salsa Red XLE with traction control, moon roof and side air bags for 500 over invoice. Working with fleet was the way to go. After we determined what we wanted, I called each fleet mamager in Phoenix to find out who could give me the best price. I was qouted $2,500, $995, $800 and $500. $500 won. We too wanted the Stratosphere Mica, none to be found unless we waited a good month and even then it wasn't clear if we'd get it. We financed at 72 months at 4.39 fixed, my bank offeed 4.25 variable. It was a $2 difference and decided to go fixed. We went with the warranty, I wish I had read this post. I was originally qouted $1200 but he quickly dropped it to $900, $50 deductable for 72 months. Overall I'm real happy. I'll do better on the warranty next time.

Just bought LE-7 with package #7 by rob2

Just purchased LE-7 FWD Sienna w/ package #7 + Wireless headphones and Z1 from Darcars in Frederick, MD. Price was $25,432 plus $100 processing plus tax, title, and registration. This was about $449 over Edmunds invoice (which seems to represent the dealer advertising fee?). I passed on the extended warranty (they wanted $995 for the 6 year/90K).

Just curious to know the color and window sticker price. I had called them to see what vehicles they had, but ended up buying elsewhere. Over the phone, their quote wasn't as good as I had hoped. Did you have to do a lot of haggling? Or was that the first quote you got? And was there a trade-in involved? Thanks

Color was Stratosphere Mica and sticker was $28,051. Their internet site showed the sale price as $25,432. I called and spoke to an internet sales guy. Interestingly, he said they had just lowered prices to beat Carmax. He said they normally tacked on freight ($540) to the internet price, but now it is already included in the price. Since this was the color, package and price we wanted, we went out the next day and purchased. I tried to haggle lower, but had no luck. They wanted to give me $500 for my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo so there was no trade-in involved.

Great Dealer in Central Illinois by spongen

I had a great experience with my dealer in Illinois. I purchased an XLE FWD with package #1 for $26,940 plus tax, title. NO DOC FEE. This equates to 3% over invoice, and I believe $356.00 TDA (TDA is high), but I received my van in 5 weeks after ordering, with only $200 deposit. My salesman was very straight forward with this offer, no beating around the bush.
 
I purchased the Toyota Extra Care Platinum Extended Warranty of 7yr/100k, no deductible for $775. This price is if you purchase your vehicle through them, but the Finance Manager has also offered the same extended warranty to non-buyers for $795. This is only $20-$25 over their cost.
I don't know the prices on coverage less than 7yr/100k, but you may contact the dealer. I understand I can give out Dealer name, City, State, so here it goes:
 
KC Summers Toyota
Mattoon, IL
 
If you want to contact them for a price quote to purchase a Sienna, please contact me through my email for additional information.
