Hi all, Could you tell me what dealers/care renters in Boston area sell used Sienna 2004? I asked around some but they said people still do not trade in much. I'm looking for XLE AWD leather version, with still valid waranty. (the alternative for me is to buy new Odyssey EX-L 2006 for around 27K. But I think a used Sienna with equivalent features is much cheaper) Thank you in advance

Replying to: anhle (Mar 05, 2006 12:47 pm) Siennas are not traded in too often, so you might just have to get the Odyssey. CarMax might have a few used Siennas in their system, but if you want to be really specific you may have to wait for a while.

1. I started with edmunds.com to research on price (invoice = 25,470). 2. I used local dealers (Michigan) recommended by Costco and Sam’s. 3. The posts of good deals on Siennaclub and Edmunds.com were very helpful to me. 4. I also researched on carsdirect.com and fitzmall.com (almost lowest price, but does not have BZ package). 5. I expanded search to include Ohio, Indiana, Chicago, and Boston. Most of my emails were answered promptly. Negotiation on email was more pleasant and less stressful than at a dealership. 6. Boch Toyota South near Providence gave the lowest quote $22,997. When I was ready to fly over, the van was sold and the new quote for a upcoming van was $23,940. I decided it was not worth it. 7. Three Chicago dealers were willing to sell at $24,132 - 24,232 on vans in stock. From where I live to Chicago is only 4.5 hr train ride. I was ready to go, but preferred to buy from a local dealer. 8. Most Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana dealers would not go below $25k. This may reflect the higher cost for smaller dealerships comparing with big ones in large cities, plus the lower rebate in Michigan/Ohio region ($650 vs. $750 in Chicago). 9. Sunshine Toyota at Battle Creek offered $24,750, and then reduced to $24,500 when the general manager was involved. Their reps at Internet sales department were very helpful, yet not pushy. Even though it was higher than $24,132, I decided to take it to save the hassle of traveling to Chicago. If the weather was nice, I might bring my family to Chicago to get it. But it is still winter now at Michigan. The OTD price is $26,173. On a related issue, most dealers gave me KBB trade-in value (~$4000) for my old minivan in excellent condition. One local Honda dealer gave me $3000 for the trade-in and suggested that I should sell it at $2-3000 under the private party value. I had to laugh at it and did not want to deal with this dealer any more. I sold my van at $6900 ($500 under KBB) one week after I advertised it. I had five people wanting to see the van. |

Replying to: anhle (Mar 09, 2006 2:52 pm) Say you live in Boston, and you went to your local CarMax. You didn't see any Siennas, but the salesperson looked in the entire CarMax inventory all over the nation and found 3 Siennas that match your criteria. You can have them transferred into your local CarMax for a fee between $300-$1000 depending on distance. Their website, link title has an inventory search tool so you can search the entire nation's inventory. |

Hi everyone Just want to validate that I have the right price offer. Here is the best offer I have soo far. Toyota Sienna LE PKG 1. Colour Silver. 7 seater. $23,268(Includes destination charge, floor mats and cargo net-Includes all rebates)This price does not iclude taxes. I have to thank this forum for invaluable insight. Please do let me know what you all think about this deal. Also does Toyota recommend rust proofing and scotchguarding the interior.Any opinions?I don't want to waste my money on something which is not at all required. Thanks

Bought a XLE Limited yesterday. Salsa Red Pearl, came with the useless dealer add-ons that come with all Toyotas in Texas, the Extra Mile Package etc. The sticker on the car was 37,750..paid 33K + TTL. Got Kelley Blue Book value for the 2000 Sienna we traded in. All communication was done via email. A very pleasant experience overall (never thought I would ever say that about a car purchase).
