There are two areas of the country that it cost more to purchase, Gulf States and SE regions. See below:
 
South East Toyota (SET) regional states: NC, SC, GA, AL and FL.
&
Gulf States: AR, LA, MS, OK & TX
 
In my great state of TX, the car goes through a middle man at the port in Houston. Here, the port installed options are added. Most vehicles have high markup options that line the pockets of the port operaters and the dealers if they can con you into paying more than cost.
 
My vehicle had the vehicle shield protection pkg. which had an invoice of $99 and an MSRP of $349. There was also the dreaded etching at $52 and $199MSRP. I also had a the extra mile A pkg. for $332 and $542MSRP.
 
So, I paid 99+52+332=$483 for the port installed options.
This is a far cry from the 1500+ that's been suggested.
 
I found that almost every vehicle had some sort of port option installed. The dealer told me that's their way of making their profit. Could I have done without the options, YES! Could I find them without,NO!
 
I don't know how it works in the other states, but I guarantee you that the dealer will try to add these options if they can because they are nice profit add ons.
 
My .02, just shop around for vehicles with the least amount of add ons.

Latest Price on 06 Sienna LE Base Model by mubeen

Hi All,
I would like to request some information from all of you.
 
Can you guys please let me know what have you paid for 06 Sienna LE Base Model recently, "out the door". A break down would be great if you can do that.
 
How much dealers are willing to go below invoice price if any, since this is the end of year.
 
Has anyone bought the car at 0%APR (illinois). What kind of crdit score would I need to get that %rate.
 
Does any one know if in Jan the 06 Sienna prices will be lower and if any manufacture to customer deals are coming up.
 
what should I anticipate when going to the dealer (any advice in preparation would be great).
 
I have been getting internet prices from several dealers. I am not sure how much can I negotiate them down.
 
Thank you in advance for all you help.
 
Regards,

Purchased an 06 Sienna LE w/pkg 3 in Denbigh( Newport News, VA) for 25582. 0% financing. Flawless service from our salesperson--the internet sales manager--I called and she gave me the price in under 2 minutes on the van. Great van, our color is white. Don't know how many more they had in stock. I would highly recommend this dealership and the internet sales manager for your purchase. Good deal on the extended warranty also through the finance manager.

A local newspaper is looking to talk to a consumer that has or is interested in purchasing a minivan. Please contact ctalatiedmunds.com by December 30 and provide a daytime number that the reporter can contact you back at.

What was the price of the extended warranty and was it for the money back if not used option? Was it the $0 or $50 deductible and how many years or miles? If it is in the $900 range for the 7 yr. platinum, pls provide finance manager name and no. Tanker

Just Purchased in Greenville SC by greenville

We just purchased a 06 Sienna LE w/pkg 4 in Greer SC. I paid $200 over invoice and then -$2,000 rebate. (invoice price verified by several sites) Maybe not the best deal, but I wanted package 4 and they only had two left and the other had a $2,000 DVD player that I did not want to pay for. The other LE they had just had package 2. The buying experience was very pleasant, except the dealer was packed. If I made any mistake it was not buying on the 24th, the dealer was empty then, but I waited until the 26th and they were packed. It did not effect the price, I had already agreed on the price on the 24th, but it took a long time to do the paper work.
 
This is the first car I have purchased in a long time I must say the buying experience was much better than when we bought our first Van in '98. In '98 I did all of the research on the Internet before going to the dealers which was good because I found most of the sales people back then pretty clueless. The time we have spent the last six weeks researching vans and found some very helpful and knowledgeable sales people.
 
I really liked the dealer we used. No kids selling cars, all of the sales people and business people were professional, helpful and not very pushy.

Best quote received was $24,725...after tax, registration doc fees, etc the total OTD price is $26991. (7% sales tax in NJ) Edmunds TMZ price prior to OTD is $24,079. What would be the most effective way of negotiating a better price?

The 25582 was the cost of the van only---about another $1000 in T,T, and whatever fees---they only charged $189 for their processing fee whereas everyone else here charges $399........after researching the van prices in the area, we could have maybe saved another $500 on the van but we were pleased and the 0% financing was making us very happy. Now, the warranty was sold to us by the finance manager at the dealership--"Denbigh Toyota" in Newport News, VA.....I see the forum rules don't allow names or phone numbers but that info gets you to who and where you need to be......the warranty we bought is a Cost Guard 6 yr/100,000 mi coverage that includes all of the Toyota's maximum warranty coverage and more...it additionally covers items that Toyota doesn't warranty and the deductible is $50----not charged if taken to this dealership for service and also not charged if one is traveling and needs service on the van. Covers rental cars for $36,000 mi. He originally offered this plan at $1350---we sat on it for a week---did research----my husband in the end said he wasn't spending more than $1000 for it and he offered it up at $950. he said his cost was $800 on it---who knows but the price was quite fair in the end--going on what we had read on boards like this. Best car prices always seem to be through the internet dept and I would advise everyone to go that route wherever they are shopping!
