Sienna36:
FYI: I am a very price-sensitive shopper, and not dealer-loyal. I've probably purchased a dozen Toyotas in the last ten years, and no more than two from the same dealer. I only buy from dealers who will do business over the phone, and I also prefer to buy from dealer inventory.
 
Here are my most recent impressions & places you might try:
 
Diehl Toyota in Butler- Small dealership where I bought my new XLE-AWD. I've had good experience there and my deal was very fair for a high-demand vehicle like the Sienna. They're not a really high-volume dealer, so they're not always the lowest price. But my van was on the lot and was EXACTLY what I was looking for, including being my first color choice. Also got the 7yr/100K/$zero warranty for $800. If they realize you've done your homework, you'll be treated fairly. I can give you the name of my salesperson. I would especially recommend Diehl if you don't have a trade, as they have a reputation for low-balling.
 
I had a good experience with Baierl Toyota in Cranberry. I negotiated a new Tacoma for my father over the phone.
 
I've also purchased from Toyota Youngstown (OH), and whatever the dealer in Erie is now.
 
I would avoid Airport Toyota. They are VERY high pressure, and I've never been able to get a competitive quote there. Although they have a good website, and usually have good inventory.
 
I bought my Tundra from Krebbs (now Davis) Toyota on McKnight Road. They had at a fairly large selection of Siennas when I was looking, but none in my preferred color choices, so I didn't get a price.
 
I have no experience with the dealer in Monroeville, but I know it's large.
 
I've noticed several Siennas on the lot at Mel Grata Toyota in Hermitage (Sharon), PA, but have never purchased anything there.
 
A friend of my bought a Sienna from Rohrich in downtown Pittsburgh, but I think he paid close to MSRP (to be fair, it was June of '03).
 
There's a dealer in Morgantown, WV (I can't remember the name, but you can see it from I-79). They always seem to have a large inventory.
 
A longshot: Allegheny Toyota in Franklin, PA. I bought a new Landcruiser and two Camrys there in the late 1980's, and a Tacoma in '96, but they haven't been competitive on a quote since. Might try 'em anyway.
 
Hope this is somewhat helpful. Good luck.

Please check out my post about my parents purchase of a 2004 Sienna in Post 3442. That was at Toyota of Greensburg. The other dealer that impressed me was Washington Toyota. Good luck to you. Both of these dealers were decent to deal with.

san jose calif 500 over invoice by hibrien

Hi all, I got a sienna xle with option pkg 14
for 500 over invoice. I had to travel 40 miles
to a major city such as san jose where at
piercey toyota, they move 30 siennas per month.
The local dealers in my area wanted msrp.
I did not care about dvd, as after market dvd
works for me, I also did not care about 17 inch
wheels. So, I went for package 14 with four wheel
disk brakes, stone leather interior, and
stratosphere mica blue. The vehicle had 9 miles
on the odometer when I picked it up. I did not
get extended warranty, nor the $1200 pre maint
package. I could not see paying $1200 for eleven
oil changes up to 55k miles in advance. All in
all, I emailed directly to 12 toyota dealers
asking about price and inventory. I tried edmunds, vehix, and autonation as well, but they all wanted
higher pricing than what I ended up getting on my own. The power moonroof is great!

Texas dealer recommendations by austin14

Hi folks,
 
I've been a long-time, die-hard Honda/Acura loyalist, but the safety features on the Sienna have won me over from my planned Odyssey purchase. (I've already got an '02 TL-S -- I can't bear the thought of having TWO potential transmission timebombs in my driveway!) I have had bad luck price and availability-wise with Austin dealers however. I'm willing to travel anywhere in Texas, OK, ARK, or Louisiana to get an XLE somewhere in the general vacinity of invoice +$500 -- $800. Any suggestions on dealers, maybe in Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio, would be greatly appreciated.

hibrien, congrat! Did you get the 500 over Edmun invoice? If you can let me know the excat amount that would be great. I may also be looking the same model with pkg#14. Thanks.

my local dealers would only deal with "allocations" one local sales dude didn't return my calls, found out "he doesn't work here anymore" most said running boards come on all ltd, we didn't want them, my wife and i all tall and they hit our ankles
I feel this is good, about 1k above consumer reports invoice

I recently purchased an XLE with pkg 12, DVD, and carpet mats for $100 over invoice at Bohn Brothers Toyota in the N.O., LA area. The internet sales manager was extremely easy to work with. He mentioned that he has had people from other states come to buy from them. I think he said one guy from Florida bought from their dealership and was not able to pick up the vehicle, but they were able to deliver the car to him for an extra $200-$300. If you can't find anything better in TX, it may be worth a shot. Initially, we thought it might have taken 6 - 8 weeks to get the car once we ordered it, but we got it in about a week.
