That site looks pretty skinny on the free info and seems more like a come-on to get your $20. Our Tips and Advice link has tons of info and it's free (and don't miss Confessions of a Car Salesman for the insiders view from the other side of the table).

We bought a 2005 FWD XLE with Option #8. MSRP ($38K+) is only $1-2K less than the FWD XLE Limited with Option #2. Additional features on the Limited are:
 
* laser cruise
* parking sensors
* HID head lights
* auto-dim interior rearview mirror, which can be added to the XLE as a port-installed accessory (MSRP $269)
* auto-dim driver-side mirror
 
For the details of our purchase, go to another message I posted shortly after 10/15. We might have bought the Limited for a little over $36K (vs. $34,561 we paid for the loaded XLE) if we could wait for a week or two, but we never use cruise let alone laser cruise and feel the parking sensors are somewhat redundant because we have got the rear-view camera that comes with the navigation. We do want the HID head lights and auto-dim mirrors but don't think they are worth $1K+.
 
Nevertheless, the resale value of the loaded Limited might be $2K+ more than the loaded XLE because the invoice difference between the base Limited and the loaded Limited is about $3K whereas the difference for XLE is about $7K.

overall buying experience was pretty good -- this is my 1st toyota - I have been a Honda owner in the past... so we'll see how they compare.

Is It Fair: Paying TDA, Price for LE #2? by grant2

Was offered $150 over dealer invoice, but they included $326 for TDA (dealer's advertising costs to Toyota). Has anyone avoided the TDA cost? What's the best price anyone has received?
 
$22,256 invoice, $565 freight, $976 package #2, $119 floor mats, $150 profit, $326 TDA; for $24,392
 
We may need to sell our own car by owner, the dealership low-balled us by offering $1,000 less than other dealers did. I believe we can get the "$150 over invoice" even without the trade-in.

   Yes, Steve...it's called a scam. The dude signed on to become a member the same day he posted an obvious solicitation which included a web site.
Go ahead and pull the post before one of our members thinks he can get a new Sienna at invoice... and lose their $20.

I have an XLE with option #8 that is supposed to arrive at the dealer tomorrow. I am in CA, but they do exist.

We prefer you post your dealer information here for everyone to share. We do not want to become an email exchange. Thanks!

Invoices by marcuslicinius

Does anyone know if a dealer is actually legally required in some way to show you the invoice?

No, there is no legal requirement that a dealer share invoice (or any other business documents) with you.
 
However, you should walk away from any dealer who discusses pricing relative to invoice but who refuses to show it to you.
