We live in W. Texas and made the drive into Toyota of Midland about 3 weeks ago. We were willing to order a van or have them bring one in, but the dealership there said the best they could do on a 2005 XLE was $1500 below MSRP (not sure how that relates to dealer "invoice"). After reading on this forum, I knew I could find a better deal. So prior to our trip to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area last weekend, I made a LOT of phone calls. Last Friday we bought a 2005 XLE w/ package 6 (FC), Extra Mile Package A (AO-$805), and Vehicle Shield Package (P4-$349) from Freeman Toyota in Hurst (mid-cities suburb). From the get-go, our salesman quoted invoice + 2.5% for whatever model we wanted. This equated to the MSRP of $35729 dropping to $32,920--a discount of over $2800 off MSRP. Don't know if this is a great deal or not, but it was definitely good and a VERY pleasant buying experience. No quibbling--just invoice + 2.5%... Would HIGHLY recommend Freeman Toyota for any of you in the N. Texas area. They had 10-12 2005 units to choose from. KRC |

From what I have heard for Toyota vehicles, Invoice Price is 89% of the MSRP. I asked several dealers if this was true and they said it was. Also, I called Fitz Auto Mall in MD and they had said that all of thier Siennas (except the AWD) are priced $200 over Invoice...Again this is their invoice but I think that is a pretty good deal....They have about 30 on the lot... Darcars in Frederick MD was willing to match and beat the best quote I got for an AWD but I didn't ask them about FWD so it might be worth a shot going there.

In fact when I called them they had me call back 4 times and then handed me off to someone else before they finally even answered my questions, but the Frederick Darcars matched and beat the price. Plus they were very friendly and got info for me right away and answered my questions. So, I think they vary within their own org.

Replying to: jhamilton (Oct 20, 2004 5:11 pm) If I were you, I would check out the '04 Sienna. Reasons: '05 Siennas offer only minimal changes. Can land a great deal (I recall reading from a reputed source that '04 Siennas lose $6600 in their first year). AWD may be a good thing for your area (if you can sort out the smell issue) Good luck! |

Looking for buying experince on a LE 8 Passenger. Got a quote for a LE 8 Passenger with #2 (AP) which is all we want. $25143. Salesman said this is $500 over invoice, but looks more like $1000 to me unless they have put some dealer options on it not lised on their website. Have read invoice is a moving target, so hard to know. Want to do know if this is a reasonable number to take to my local dealer. The other was out of town. 2nd question: looking for experince buying a car out of state from where you live. How does this work? Do you pay sales tax on it where you buy it or do you pay the sales tax when you register it? My guess I'd have to do the registration when I get home directly? Any comments / experince are appreciated!
