| Tried to purchase a Sienna XLE FWD with option package #8 on 07/28 at Rivergate Toyota in Madison, TN through the COSTCO auto buying program, which is a no-haggle price of $200 over invoice. Things pretty much went down hill after the test drive. First they could not locate an XLE with that package, but were able to get their hands on a fully optioned XLE Limited. I figured I was game expecting the price to truly be $200 over invoice. The salesman and his manager came back with a price that was roughly $2000 over invoice. The $2000 included a $700 (TDA) Toyota Dealer association fee for advertising, an $800 Toyota finance charge (the finance charges that the dealership pays Toyota), a fee to cover the salesman's salary, and other fees including the notorious doc fee, if things had continued I might have paid the salesman’s mortgage as well. This brought the grand total up to $37,521. On Tuesday 07/31 I drove 20 minutes south to Beaman Toyota in Nashville, TN and purchased and XLE w package 8 for 33,183 plus TTL | |

I feel better. I missed out on nothing, plus the price is a little higher and I would have sacrificed the $1250 rebate I got at the time. Charting the changes: Base CE, CE pkg 1 gain VSC Base LE, LE1, LE2 gain VSC LE5 and others with JBL gain Bluetooth LE3 - no change!

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 01, 2007 8:47 am) Sienna offers new product enhancements and Extra Value Packages. New standard features include Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control and rear disc brakes on all models. Also, Bluetooth® is now on all models featuring standard or available JBL audio. The Sienna MSRP ranges from $24,340 for the 2WD CE to $37,665 for the AWD Limited model. The total Sienna average MSRP increases $35 or 0.1 percent. It seems to me that all models in 2008 will have bluetooth, not just JBL. It is a nice feature for CA since we no longer can use cellphone without handfree device when driving in 2008.

Replying to: ccc88 (Aug 01, 2007 12:35 pm) I think what they meant was models that have the JBL audio standard, as well as models that have the JBL audio included in an option package. They managed to make a simple press release very confusing.

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 01, 2007 1:06 pm) I clipped a headline that read "Teixeira pitches no hitter" and had that up in my office for a while. A lot of people got a real kick out of that. He's my cousin. Just kidding. It's not an uncommon name in Portugal and Brazil. You see a lot of tree names. Teixeira, Ferreira, Pereira, but not Bananeira (that would be a Banana tree in Portuguese). |

Anyone buy from Longo Toyota in SoCal? They are the No.1 Toyota dealer nationwide. I am in NoCal, but I heard that people can buy from Longo Toyota and pay 300 for them to ship the car to NorCal. Any information on the Longo Toyota will be appreciated. |
