Thinking about getting 06 Brand new Sienna, I was advised many different routes of purchasing the car. In the order of advertised price (cheapest first), those are, 1. Fitzmall 2. Carmax 3. Costco (?), 4. Local dealer... I can happily opt with minimum option CE 7 or 8 passenger. Then I found that Fitzmall is by far way better than any other options as it is offering even close to 21k (only for car). Even if I include doc fee of 99, it is still in 21k range... Discourating is it is too far away from my location (Fitzmall is in Washington area, while I am in Detroit MI area...) I can take a day off from my work and fly to there on Friday and drive the car for 5~600 miles back to my home town however,... I personally think that if I can get it at around 22k range including all doc fees and hidden fees (at 1k more than Fitzmall price), I would find it from locally. But local dealers in my area, all charge those interesting fees and fees and fees (advertisement fee etc). they even charge something like dealer loan fee even if somebody (my buddy) made a one time payment for his 05 Sienna early last year... As a result, his 05 CE 7 Passenger OTD price became 25k.... they advertised they can sell it at in-voice then, they made up for them by charging those interesting this and that fees.... This is actually one of the significant factor that Toyota dealer pushes me away toward honda dealer. When I bought my 3 honda/acura's, the deal was much simpler and easy, no hidden fees or advertisement fee things, just car price + 6% tax + title + $99 doc fee (which I consider is just a tip for the dealer ^^  , the figure of which are all provided before even visiting the dealer shop by phone or email. This time, I will try Toyota Sienna, if anyone can get me more advise regarding 1. Costco program experience 2. Fitmall experience for out-of-state buyer 3. any good local dealer in South Michigan area 4. Any alternative better way of purchasing brand new sienna.... Thank you in advance.

Replying to: kyunyoo (Mar 23, 2006 2:27 pm) Best thing to do here is to directly shop their price against your local stores. Given that their prices are posted on their website (at least the last time I looked), it should be clear to your local dealers that you're not blowing smoke when you ask for a competitive price. |

I have been researching on Edmunds for an 06 Sienna and this is the best place I have ever seen to research a vehicle. I have just started reading the discussion boards and I am getting quite confused when I hear of all the ways to purchase a vehicle. I really do not understand how all this works and I would like to get a bit more clarification if possible. I also hear of people not even going into the Dealership and handling everything over the internet and getting good deals, is this true? What I am looking for is the LE 7 passenger and basically the only option my wife is looking for is leather. Can someone please help me understand where to start, to start getting the best deal possible? I live in Houston and there are sooo many dealerships around here. Thanks, Chris

I've recently purchased a new sienna and here are the details. I'm in the Philadelphia area and purchased a light blue 7 passenger CE with Option 1(roof rack and cruise). The sticker was 24,914. My negotiated price was $21,200 and added 7% sales tax ($1484) and registration and tags for 196 and I was out the door for $22,880.
