I just bought an 05 CE 7 passenger with pkg. #1. I got it for $22,000.00 plus tax, tag, and fees. Because I didn't have time to go to the dealership, they drove about 75 miles one way to deliver it to me. The dealer was Fairway Toyota in Albany, GA, and I did all the negotiating through e-mail. If my math is correct, that is $182 over Edmund's invoice, so I think I got a good deal.

| I'm in the Midwest and am negotiating on a 2005 Sienna XLE with package #6 and floor mats. It lists at $34,736 and the dealer has offered it at $31,200. From what I have been reading, it seems like a good price. Any thoughts? | |

I had ordered a 2005 8 pass LE, BW and CF from Carmax Kenosha, WI for 26,500 last month (that price was about $500 above the best price I could get from the other local dealers, but carmax offered $2000 more for my trade in). I got the call from my salesman, went to pick up the car yesterday and they told me the price has been cut down $500 that day and they are going to give the car to me for the reduced price of $25,900, and will give me the same price on my trade in which they offered 1 month back ...(granted they will sell my car for $30K as evidenced by a nearly identical car which is available on their used car site). Still they could have asked me to pay the agreed upon price and may be shaved a few hundred dollars on my trade in. I think Carmax works well for people who do their research, but do not want to spend a lot of energy on this, and are willing to pay a premium of a few hundred dollars for that, or for someone who do not want to do the homework. I recommend my sales person and the sale manager to anyone without reservation. PS: Just one glitch in the sale.. the van only came with one set of key. They have promised to mail the key directly from toyota, which I think should reach me next week.

I am looking for a LE Sienna with DVD system. One of the dealers that I am emailing said that they have a LE Sienna but they would have to install it at the dealership since the LE Sienna doesn't come with it in their standard models. Is it a bad idea to have the dealer install additional accessories ( like a DVD system ) if the original base model doesn't have it? I don't know if it is common or whether it should be a concern. Thanks. |

With the arrival of our 3rd child this winter, we are considering a vehicle to better accomodate us. My wife's requirement is that she can put all three in the 2nd row when around town. We want the flexibility of the 3rd row for trips and family visits etc. Besides a full size SUV, the Sienna with the 8 pass is one of the few options. Currently she drives an Explorer that is going to feel very narrow and small with five people onboard. My question: When I try to "build" the van on the Toyota website I am forced to pick option group #6 (we are in the Chicago region according to the site even though we are 20 minutes from the factory). Is it possible to order the van with a different option group? Local dealer never sees an 8pass so it doesn't matter what they may usually get etc. From people's experience ordering their vehicles is it possible to spec (option group) exactly as you'd like? Any experience would be appreciated. Thanks!
