Unwanted but installed options by msindallas

I am trying to find a XLE Limited with pkg #4. Thats all I want. Now, if I do an inventory search, all the dealers' websites in the Dallas area come up with the same inventory list (listed as available), and they all have the Vehicle Shield package (Lusterizing sealant, sealant cleaner, sound shield and rental car - for $349) and the Extra mile option A pkg (Tape stripe, cargo net, floor mat, first aid kit, door sill protector, etc. for $575) installed.
 
From my research on Edmunds, I believe those options are useless for me. Firstly, I do not not want them and secondly, I don't understand why they are selling fabric guard for a vehicle with leather seats.
 
Questions: How should I approach the dealer about it? Are all you Sienna buyers forced to shell out nearly $1K if you want to buy the car off the lot? Do I need to order the vehicle if I do not want these stupid packages? Thank you, - MS.

Did you buy from NJ or PA? Rebates and pricing varies by region. For NJ area for LE (FWD) with pkge 2 23.9 seems good.
I assume it does not include 4 yr registration. Did you get 1250 rebate or 0% fin? Yes, #2 comes with engine immobilizer.
Your key is equiped with computer chip which signals engine to
unlock and start, you also save about 15% on comp coverage on your Ins for having it.

I bought in MD, 23.9 is basically what I saw at fitzmall (they actually have a little higher) and carmax toyota laurel. So basically I got a no-haggle price from a haggle dealership.
I did not yet fnalize though, since he had to get the car from another dealership, I am going in on Mnday. we'll see if they try to add anything. I expect only to pay 4 other things, tax, tags , license, and $99 processing. Any idea what these total?
 
I took the $1500 rebate, I have read on this board that you can now get both rebate and financing, but they offered me one or the other. If anyone can confirm this PLEASE let me know immediately.
 
Not sure what 4 year registration you are refering to.
 
If they are offering an alarm on top of the immobilizer, this would probably not save any more on the insurance, just make noise and bother the neighbors.

I checked edmunds, they say Rebates and Financing are either or. you can't get both. To be sure ask toyota, there may me certain regional incentives, and sometimes rebates may be from dealer and not toyota. You may come out ahead, if you take 0% for 48 months vs rebate based on your tax bracket(Fed+state+local taxes). Must run the numbers first.
Then assume a rate-of-return, say 6%, on the total amt you finance, see what you get. Then subtract taxes you would have to pay on your investment return. Make sure to add extra cost if any if you finance (by the dealer), there is none from Toyota.
 
(TTL) usually are based on your resident state. NJ has 4 yr registration on new car and fee is based on the weight of the car.
For MD see the following links.

Almost forgot, So far the price for LE FWD with only option #2 I am coming up with best price of 23,207 with 1,500 rebate. But if you get for 23,500 or so that would be a great price. Let me know how you did.....
   
Good Luck!!

Thanks. Where does one get 23,200 or even 23.5 for the le-option 2. I agreed to pay them 23.9 but we didn't actually sign anything yet. He just copied my credit card number for a "deposit". Not sure at this point if there is any way to get them down more.

You have to add the variable TTL cost to the numbers as they are state and region specific. Per Edmunds invoice is 23207 national avg price paid is 23528 both with 1500 rebate. The only other charges should be Title, registration, new plates or transfers, state taxes and dealer doc fee which are usually not negotiable. If they all add up to another 400
you have your 23.9. If less, you have room to negotiate.

Last time I looked there was an excellent calculator available on the BANKRATE DOT COM website which would allow you to determine whether the rebate or the low financing was the best deal. You'll need to know what the alternative financing rate is as well - in other words, what interest rate will you pay if you take the rebate in lieu of the 0%.

Looking at Edmunds TMV, I am getting the 8 pass and floor mats, it is a little more than for the seven pass I think you are referring to, it is 23,800, I am getting 23,900 plus TTL, so it seems pretty fair.
