#4046 of 9654 Questions - pricing and accessories by siennabuyer68 May 16, 2004 (3:58 pm)
Hello all...I can't believe I didn't find this forum until now! Been doing my homework, but still have some Sienna questions. I'm interested in the XLE AWD GK CF.   1. Any way out of paying "destination charge"? My understanding is that this fee is to cover the cost of moving the vehicle from the factory to the dealer. What I don't understand is why it is the same charge whether the car is being delivered to a dealer in Indiana (where the factory is) or a dealer in my home state of NC. Seems fishy...similar to the built in holdback that a dealer doesn't like to talk about.   2. What charges does one pay state sales tax on? Obviously the cost of the vehicle & options, but what about destination, documentation, etc.?   3. Thinking about the hitch receiver...Any reason not to simply buy an after market one and install it myself?   4. DVD system If installed by a dealer, does it come with the two 115 VAC outlets? If not installed by a dealer can I buy a DVD system from Toyota and install myself? Can I have Circuit City install one? Will I lose features?   5. rear seat audio Is it already set up for the wireless headphones? Can I buy these from a source other than Toyota?   6. Does Toyota offer an XM radio option?   Thanks Everybody! Replies to this message: kenhall64 (May 16, 2004 5:20 pm) sarniasting (May 17, 2004 6:22 am)

Replying to: siennabuyer68 (May 16, 2004 3:58 pm) 1 - no way to avoid destination fee. I would think manufacturers use average cost and spread over all country. Some vehicles are made in different factories, how could destination fee be different just because where build and where you buy from. 2 - Varies from state to state. I would check your states web site to see what charged on. 3 - I thought about aftermarket/bolt-on hitch but could not figure where it bolts on. Only place I could see was floor of well - but that does not seem too strong. I'd go with factory. 4 - Outlets only come with factory installed DVD. 5 - The headphones are Panasonic. The ones from our Chevy Tahoe and Sienna work in both trucks. The Tahoe also has Panasonic DVD player. 6 - Not at this time - I think will be available for 2005.

Instead of getting too worried about destination fees (or any other fees), concentrate on your best out the door price.   Here's a Dealer Holdback article that you may have missed in your research.   Have fun shopping!   Steve, Host

Replying to: kenhall64 (May 16, 2004 5:20 pm) You can buy the two inch receiver hitch cheaper aftermarket. The Toyota hitch is 1 1/4". I bought one from Zeibert and had it installed for alot less then Toyota's price. If you check under the van it has holes already drilled into the frame for a hitch. It is not a difficult job but you may need someone to support the hitch while you get the bolts on and threaded unless you have access to a hoist. Seems to me someone commented they had to loosen one of the exhaust hangers to make it easy to get a wrench on one of the bolts. Just my 2 cents but most have found the aftermarket hitch to be better.
#4050 of 9654 Capital One refused by dealer by petronio May 17, 2004 (7:31 am)
Anyone had this problem? I told the dealer that I would be arriving to pick up my Sienna with a Capital One check, and they told me that the corporation that owns the NY dealership (along with about fifteen others in NY and NJ) has a policy of not accepting "sight drafts" (?) such as the Capital One program where they send you a blank check where you fill in the information regarding the dealer and the amount. Is this legal? Can they refuse outside financing? The finance guy told me this, and was pushing in-house financing, so I am suspicious.

#4052 of 9654 Re: Price Question - XLE w/ #15 [mfab #4028] by weedshasta May 17, 2004 (11:16 am)
Replying to: mfab (May 13, 2004 2:06 pm) I was told by the dealer in Medford that Costco excluded the Sienna, but I got the Costco price through Hanlees Toyota in Davis CA (just west of Sacramento). He gave me the price on the phone (which beat the CarsDirect price), and then he called me when he found a car with my specifications. I drove 240 miles and had no hassles at all. I got the XLE AWD with package 18 (DVD, leather, 6 disc) + floor mats for $32,750. That is about $3000 off MSRP.
