I have a side-question? Can someone explain to me why the Gulf-States Region has such a bad reputation with Toyota dealerships? Is the supply just so poor that there's no negotiating room?

It's just that the distributor (Gulf States Toyota) adds quite a lot of junk on the vehicles. Things like "rental car assistance" and "paint protectant". The problem is not that they offer these things, it's that they put them on 90% of all Toyotas sold in their domain, making this junk quite hard to avoid.
 
Also, while vacationing in Florida I have seen ads for Tundra and Sequoia XSP Sport packages, which includes some Enkei wheels, leather seats, and trim, selling for far more than the value of those things seperately.
 
I would recommend flying into Maryland/D.C and buying a Toyota from one of the 3 no haggle places there: Darcars, Fitzmall, or CarMax-Laurel Toyota.

The worthless add-ons (sealant, pinstriping) are bad enough, but to me the far greater problem is the inability to get desired features without buying an XLE. For instance, I want traction control, which means an LE with option package #3. However, just try to find one in Texas. Dealership websites don't even list this combo as "available." Inquiries in emails and visits go unanswered (although there is a promise to respond in the next day or so, it never happens).
 
I negotiated a price $200 over invoice (for the Tacoma) at one GS dealership only to show up and find they added $1500.00 in "advertising costs", financing charge (even though I was paying by check--salesman couldn't explain except to say "we charge this to everybody"). Of course, I left, but other GS dealerships were no better: they provided incorrect information (I knew more about the vehicles than their salesmen) or outright tried to deceive me into accepting a higher-priced vehicle than I agreed on in another attempted purchase.
 
I think I'm just going to do as jchan2 suggests and fly into the area, then drive my purchase back. I have basically decided against shipping as there are too many variables to account for.

Sienna Limited Pkg. 3 Pricing by jchan2

What would be a good price to pay for a Sienna Limited with Pkg 3? The lone dealer in my area with a Sienna equipped with Navigation is offering $36,029 after all discounts and the $1000 off coupon the Nashville area dealers are offering.
 
I have a feeling the dealer could go lower, but the price right now is below TMV, even after you add back the $1000 coupon.
 
I'm still on the fence about buying as of right now, but things could change...

Hi Everyone,
 
Melody Toyota has Sienna LE 7 seater advertised for 20,900 this weekend. Looks like an excellent deal if you are hunting for a Sienna.

Does the $36,029 include the TDA and what about the processing fee? If you only have T.T.L. to add to the $36,029 then you have a very good offer. I do know that most Tenn. dealers have a $300 to $350 added cost for processing the paper work. If it does not include the TDA and the processing fee then you can do a little better. I ended up at $36,949 (includes TDA and no processing fee) for the same van except I also added rear spoiler and Artic Frost Pearl. I asume that your price has the floor mats included. $39,410.00 out the door. Good luck.

>> Too good to be true. Even base LE won't come at that price.
Could you please please PM me about the details.
