Well, that does alter the situation. This past year's big rebates, high gas prices, low finance rates, and SUV backlash have really punished the re-sale value of big, domestic SUV's. If you keep the Yukon, I strongly suggest getting some gap insurance from your auto insurance carrier. Without gap coverage, if you were to total it tomorrow, you won't get anywhere near the amount you currently owe.
 
Be sure to compare the lease payment of a Sienna to a purchase payment. They might be closer than you think.
 
Leases are best for people who 1)can deduct the payment for business 2)want a new car often, 3) can stay within the mileage limit, and 4) take very good care of their vehicles. Number 4 can be very difficult with three kids.

We'd appreciate some feedback on whether $31,800 for a fully loaded Sienna 2004 XLE Limited with 12,000 miles is a good price.
 
Car has every bell and whistle available.
 
Thanks!

The price sounds about right for a front wheel drive unit.
 
If it has all-wheel drive, that is a great price.

tmv changed after i bought my vehicle by kpoon

the edmunds tmv for an '05 xle ltd awd, gv option package, was $37,533 in slc when i was doing my research, which began in november, '04. i bought my vehicle last month for $36,650, and now the tmv price is $36,428.
 
did that tmv price go down based on my purchase? if it did, that's pretty cool, & it means the tmv calculator is pretty accurate!

TMV numbers get updated fairly often. Since the data are derived from actual sales numbers, every good deal made has a chance of sending the average down.
 
Sounds like you got a good deal - congratulations!

Sienna LX prices by lxbuyer

I'm looking at a Sienna LE and the best price I can find is MSRP-$3300 which would put the Sienna (with option package 5) at about $25,100. Is this a good deal for the Baltimore/Washington area? And are there any rules of thumb about this Sienna price vs. an Odyssey LX price? The best I see for the Odyssey is about $24,400. All prices include freight and all dealer costs except tax, tags and title.

Sienna Limited AWD by ednovak

Went over to my local Toyota dealer yesterday (Sloane in Devon PA) to check out the Sienna and the new Avalon and ended up with a 2005 Sienna Limited AWD. Don't ask, it's a long story. In any case based on the MSRP of the Limited with the HO and Z1 packs, the 7/100 zero $ deductible extended warranty, and 4/55k Premium pre-pay maintenance, the car list price total was $44,529. Paid $39,676. Looks like that was about $1K over invoice (hard to tell with the maintenance deal thrown in since no one lists the invoice amount for it.) Looks like the "short supply" times for the Sienna are now officially past.
The 500 page owners manual and 142 page Nav manual are daunting at best. So far my only complaints are:
1. it doesn't seem to have a dash indicator to warn when any of the exterior bulbs burn out (I'm used to that with my Camrys),
2. the passenger seat has NO lumbar adjustment (even manual) not so hot for my wife's bad back and
3. for some weird reason they used red lenses instead of amber for the rear turn signals (throwback to the 60's?)
Not exactly major issues. I'm still waiting for the mud guards to arrive and still trying to figure out whether I want to use a fold up spot in the well for the optional compact spare. Can't believe how well it rides for a van.

Check the prices at the Fitzgerald Toyota store in Gaithersburg, MD. They post them on their website and (from what I've seen here) seem to be the best around your area (indeed, quite possibly the best in the U.S.).
 
The only rule of thumb is that there should be some correlation in prices between competing brands but it is not necessarily so. If you are seriously considering both makes, try to get dealers to compete for your business and you'll find out soon enough.
