For me it was no contest: Sienna all the way.
 
Sienna actually costs less.
Tons more space.
The Highlander's 3rd row isn't split folding.
Sienna had power doors (favorite feature)
 
I'm happy with my 2007 and would buy another if I had to do it again today.

You are correct, invoice price is not what the dealer paid at all. "Invoice" includes holdback and other fees that represent profit for the dealer. Ask that they print their inventory report for the particular car you are interested in. It will list the invoice price for each option and the car overall, and itemize the "add-ins" that are included in the invoice price and CAN be negotiated out.
 
We just bought the exact car you are talking about for 30,800+TTL in Chicago. Premier extended warranty to 7 yrs/100,000 miles for extra $1050.

2009 SIENNA XLE LIMITED FWD in Blizzard Pearl by annettedinh

We are looking for this particular sienna and a dealer from where I live (Northern CA) quoted for
$36,998.00+fees= $40,287.36 OTD (out the door) including the running boards, all weather mats, rear spoiler, installed.
 
We asked him to give us a better deal than what he quoted but it seems like he won't go any less. Does anybody know if this is a good deal? Please advise.
 
Thanks

I had a quote of 36,400 in Chicago for this car, but with AWD which is a $2200 option, so I'd say it isn't such a good deal.
 
We went with a loaded XLE instead since it is virtually the same car but $4,000 less. The only things you don't get is the laser cruise, memory seats and auto windshield wipers.
 
In our opinion, those options aren't worth $4K.

Lease Pricing on Limited AWD by land55

Hi Car Man
 
Can you let me know what the latest Money Factor and Residual Value is on a Limited AWD in the New York area, assuming I qualify for Tier 1+ pricing. Thanks very much
 
Would the MF and RV change much if I traded down to a LE AWD?

Trying to compare '08 Chrysler T&C and '08 Sienna (XLE with DVD/NAV) by nm_socal

Greetings, everyone. I currently have a 6-seater crossover, whose lease runs out in March. We have to purchase a minivan. My choices: Sienna. 2nd: Honda Odyssey. 3rd: Chrysler Town & Country.
  
The best price for an '09 Sienna XLE with DVD & NAV seems to be $34-35k. I don't want to get an '08 because the $4-5k I save in purchase price will be offset by a higher depreciation. (Please feel free to comment if you disagree with this theory.) So ...
  
I walked into a local Chrysler dealership today. Received an excellent service. They are offering me a Touring with package 25L (leather, dual DVD screens with independent players, navigation, power-fold 3rd row, stow-n go), with MSRP of $37.1k for $27.9k + TTL. Maybe, if I was to go back and twist their arms (have a 2nd degree referral for the GM), they might go down by a bit more. Plus they are taking the lease off of my hands ($450/month) two months earlier.
  
So, finally, here's my question: Get an '09 Chrysler for $28k, or get an '08 Honda or Toyota for the same price? I'd be eagerly awaiting response from some experienced buyers on this forum. Thanks.

I would go into your local Toyota dealer and negotiate for the price you want. Remind them that they will have your service business as well.
 
I was able to buy the XLE you describe for 30,800+TTL in Chicago, so I'm sure you could get close to that.
 
The deal on the T&C sounds good, but read the reviews. It isn't the same quality as the Toyota or Honda.
 
Plus, Toyota still has 0% financing until January 5th.

I wouldn't move to a 3rd choice based only on price. Plus you'll probably lose that advantage in resale, anyway.

If you are concerned about depreciation, stay far, far away from the Chrysler. In the best of times their value drops like a rock. In times like this, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy (Shrub and his dumbocrat friends' bailout not withstanding, it may only delay the inevitable) the T&C possibly leave you with no warranty and no resale either.
 
Between Chrysler and Toyota or Honda, any model year, new for the same purchase price, the Chrysler will always be worth less from the moment you put your John Hancock on the contract.
 
See how much can negotiate a '08 vs and '09 on your favorite between the Honda and the Toyota. Make a good enough deal on the '08 and it my not matter the marginal difference in resale value 3 or 5 years from now. There isn't much difference between the model years for either vehicle.
