So what is the advertised lease special on the LE? My local dealer has an advertised special on the CE of $249 with $3k down. Seemed high to me. I saw a TV add for Toyota that advertised the same special but with $1869 down. And it may have been an LE not CE. Maybe Toyota's website can clarify this for me.

Last fall I got very good quotes from the store near Kings Island and also Toyota of Cincinnati. If you are ready to buy, though, get quotes from all the stores there as it seems the Queen City has competition that the Columbus market lacks.

Hey IRG,
 
Don't let your Toyota dealer decide whether you buy a Toyota or Honda. I went to a couple of local Toyota's dealers (here in CT). All of them kept giving me bull about packages and pricing.
 
We are now buying a LE-8 with package 6 in Blue Mirage Metallic. Wifey now can not get just live with package 5 as it does not have the power-driver's seat.
 
I did test-drive the Ody...ummmm, seemed small from the inside. I know by the numbers they are same, but I am 6 ft and it just felt small and more road noise while driving it...I have owned a Toyota Camry in the past and have constantly talked/argued with Accord-driving friends about the difference in noise level in those two. Please be sure that you test drive the same model you plan to buy/lease. There is quite a bit of difference in the higher end ODY models, in terms of VCM and ANC (road noise etc.)
 
Anyway, the Toyota with package #6 is in line both pricing and feature wise with the Ody EX. I hope you are not comparing it with the Ody LX.
 
Go to www.buyatoyota.com to see the current specials and see the LE-lease deal, can't miss it.
 
I am in talks with a nice Fitzmall salesman...they are looking for our van. I have not yet completed the transaction with them, but I am quite satisfied with them till now. I am quite sure I will be doing the pilgrimage to Maryland to get my Van with my choice of package and pricing and not settle for what my local dealer's sell to me...
 
Best of Luck and thanks for the info on leasing...
 
PS - If you need the name of the Fitzmall salesman to discuss, let me know. Two Sienna's make make a better deal than one

I've been to the Toyota site you mentioned. But to me it is a big vague, as it says CE/LE for $249 with $1869 down, and then some reference number, tier one. I can't imagine that the CE and LE are the same lease price, if so why would anyone lease a CE?
 
I have driven both the Odyssey, an EX cloth, against a LE 7 seat, package #6, like you mentioned. Both very nice. I didn't notice any difference in noise. The Honda felt a little quicker, but in reality that is not a big deal, as my wife will be doing most of the driving with this vehicle. What I like about the Odyseey EX a little more is that it has 2 power doors, and those sunscreens for the second row windows, and the airbags are standard (even the LX). With the Toyota, you have to have one of the higher packages to get it, like #6. Honda just makes it easier. Both of them should make the dvd standard, ala GM. The Honda also has the cool little lazy susan storage area.
 
Bottom line, both are nice, and I will buy either one of them. The Honda dealer was just great in what little I had to deal with him. He immediately took $2k off the sticker, and so the price of the Odyssey EX was $26, 5xx. And then he even took a little more off that to get the lease around $350 which I thought was pretty good. He showed me the residual, and money factor, which wasn't all that good from Honda compared to the Toyota. I think the interest is about 6% compared to 1.9% right now for Toyota.
 
The Fitzmall price may indeed be the best buy overall, I just don't know yet. I would like to support my local dealers if possible, but the local Toyota dealer isn't doing itself any favors at the moment, whereas the honda dealer has been great. I was hoping to sell my one vehicle over the weekend, but it didn't materialze. As soon as I do that, I can buy the van. Otherwise I have to wait another 2 months for my lease to expire. Maybe by then the Odyssey will be an even better value.
 
Keep me posted. My Fitzmall guy seems OK, so let's not get into any trouble with the Hosts here irg

Live in Columbus as well and have been working with a salesman on the west side. No one seems to be able to touch Fitzgerald. I am planning to fly there on Saturday for $75. The salesman plans to drive a Sienna of my choice to the airport. I am willing to give my Columbus dealer the cost of my ticket, fuel and misc costs for the return trip - still negotiating but we are not close to the web advertised Fitzmall prices including their $99 fee.

No, it's not likely Hatfield will match. I tried to talk price with them in the Fall on a left-over '04 Sienna and we were on different planets.
 
Please let us know how your adventure turns out.

The LE lease deal is real. I started my van hunt with that deal and had a dealer ready to sign...Alas, too many people advised to buy..
 
Anyway, I might be getting a great deal on the LE-8 Sienna from NY (Mt. Kisco) toyota dealer. The fitzmall deler could not find the exact specs on our van. The only issue with the Mt. Kisco dealer is that the delivery would be delayed to 3 weeks from now. Very tempted to sign the dotted line, atleast I could get the color and the package I want in 8 passenger config.
 
24 hours to think about it...BTW the snowin on president's day helped a lot in negotiating the deal with him. Not too many people shopping for a car, I guess they had the pressure to make the sale...
 
GENERAL QUESTION TO ALL -
 
Any experience dealing with Toyota North of Mt. Kisco, NY...

I'm working with Tansky - we are half way between MRSP and invoice which won't cut it. Fitz is below invoice now and can ship the vehicle for $300 - $400. Salesman there said this is not uncommon and they have shipped vehicles to California. I would probably do this rather than fly there and drive back. I agree with you though, I think the dealers here are going to let me walk. Does anyone know with the current manufacture to dealer support ($500) does Toyota give this to the dealer regardless of the customer using the APR special?

I live in the state of Minnesota. I found that the price of Toyota sienna is very reasonable at Fitamall. Does anybody buy a car from fitzmall from another state where fitzmall is located (I believe in Maryland). How much will it cost for delivery. Thank you.
