2008 Black Sienna XLE EVP #3, AW 17" by bboy2

I was at the dealership yesterday (big mistake) had done lot's of research thanks to you guys! I started talking invoice price and they said their invoice was $30,231 after $1000 rebate. I made an offer that equalled $29,000 after killing me on a trade. According to Edmunds the invoice would be $28,518 after $1000 rebate. That is $1200 off from where they were. They let me walk after dealing with a sit down with the pit boss who tried to make me feel like an idiot. They were saying things such as "we would be losing money", and "do you wanna see the invoice?" What is a fair price for this vehicle? We are cash customers so the rebate applies though I feel like the rebate has been lost in the shuffle. We only have one dealership in town but another 4 within a 60 mile radius (Nashville, TN. area). Thanks for any tips!

Good to know that you got a great deal. BTW, are you able to get the dealer to give you a better deal on the extended warranty? I just bought the car and extended warranty a few days ago and I am going to do the same.

I really wanted to give my dealer/finance gal the business and credit, but my dealer would not budge on the extended warranty, and I cannot justify spending 30% more on something that I may not need/use. I'm going with Bernardi (http://www.toyotawarrantyinfo.com/vehicle.php). I called the Bernardi, and the they told me that they're legit and there are no added fees. Just pay the quote for the platinum warranty, and you'll get your copy of the paperwork (from them) and Toyota Warranty cards (from Toyota) in a few weeks.
 
Best of luck! (My dealer understood my point and told me basically to jump on the better deal; they just could not go below their cost; strange how Bernardi can offer it so low...they must be getting something as a HUGE volume seller).

Thanks for the info. Did the dealer give you a refund with no hassle?

The dealer in my town said the same thing when I purchased my Sienna about 5 months ago, i.e. they could not loose money and jump on the better deal. This was for Sienna not warranty.
 
For next purchase, couple of weeks ago, I was looking for another Sienna again. The manager told me the same thing again. I said ok. And then I saw owner in his office. I went to him and told him that I bought a Sienna 5 months ago when they could not match the price. And his manager is doing the same again. He asked for my cel number and I left. About 10 minutes later, sales manager called me and said he's giving my price. He was a little upset that I went to the owner, he did not say, but I could sense.
 
So, moral of the story is, he did not loose any money, just made less of profit and so is Bernardi.

2008 Sienna LE with Package 2 and Upgrade Package by maguy

I am desparate for some help in my van search. I am looking at an LE FWD with package 2 and the Upgrade Package. I have a price of 26,000 before tax, title, registration and document fees. With taxes and fees my calculation is that I will have an OTD price before trade of roughly 28,000. Does this sound reasonable for Package 2 and the Upgrade Package?
 
Any quick responses would be helpful. I might buy today.

I'm shopping for similar vehicle. I'm not sure what "upgrade package" includes but with #2 the invoice is 24,345. If you are planning to do your own financing then you can get the $1,000 rebate. I have gotten internet quotes = to Edmunds "invoice" price. I would shoot for Edmunds invoice before TTL and don't give more than $200 Doc fee. Hope this helps!

So......I should offer...Invoice minus any factory incentives ( $1000 cash or low rate financing)? The internet salespeople i spoke to said if they give me invoice price it already includes the $1000 rebate and i will not be allowed to get the 2.9% financing. Is this correct?

The Upgrade package is the entertainment upgrade which includes rear DVD, 17 inch alloys, 6 disc with bluetooth, and rear parking sonar. I hate the way toyotas are packaged, but this configuration is not too bad. Just wish it had power trunk but I can't afford the XLE.

Unless I configured it wrong I'm showing invoice at $27,226. So your quote of 26k is a good one. Invoice price should not reflect $1,000 rebate. You are correct that it is an either or so you must choose $1,000 or 2.9% apr. It seems like a fair quote to me. Good luck!
