I need a geography lesson, but I think Fitzmall.com in Maryland is within driving distance. I've found them to have fair prices.

Hi,
 
I plan to buy 2009 Toyota Sienna LE FWD 7-Passenger Minivan, with only option: LE Extra Value Package #1, Includes right-hand power sliding door, left-hand door closer, rear hatch closer, 8-way power driver's seat, Homelink universal transceiver and overhead multi-information display.
 
The price before TTL is $ 23,300 which I got so far, is it good deal? if not, what the price should be for a good deal?

09Sienna XLE with Package no. 4 by saber40

Hi,
I picked up my new 09 XLE Sienna from the dealer on the new year's eve. Although, the car looks great the experience with the dealership was one of my worst.
I had several offers from my local dealers. The lowest offer was $32500 OTD. I took this offer and prsented to Tom Wood Toyota in Indianapolis, IN. I went Tom Wood hoping to be treated well as a repeat customer (I bought my 05 Highlander from them). The manager look at the offer and came back telling me that he can not beat this price and the lowest he can go is $32650 (OTD). However, he said that he going to make up for the $150 by giving me two free services and an extra headset. I agreed. Ofcourse, he got my signiture for the price and did not mentioned anything on the paper regarding 2 free services and a headset.
 
The day that I was picking up the car (he did not have the car and had to bring it from another dealer 170 miles away), instead of giving me the two coupons for free services, he gave me two coupons for free oil change. When I said no to the oil change, he got very nasty and acted like a jerk. Anyways, I got the car and the two free services in " I owe you form". Now looking at his I owe you form, which has my signiture I find there is a statement which says the service has to be done in 30 days of the date of purchase.
So discusted with the experience, that I decided not to call him and talk to him.
 
I will never go to Tom Wood Toyota again!

Do you mind if I ask what you expected for the promise of "free services"? Two free oil changes sound like "free services" to me.

I think thats a good deal. Any deal thats keeps your OTD cost below 38,800 with 0% apr for an AWD is a good deal. Try to include all weather mats. Also you need to know that AWD does not come with a spare wheel.

Do you mean $36,383 +TTL? If you are OTD at 36K then you are several thousand below actual dealer cost.
 
We were looking at the same car with a quote of $36,400 but got cold feet on the AWD due to all of the bad reviews. If you can forego the AWD, consider a loaded XLE. You can get virtually all of the same features in FWD for about $6,000 less.
 
The only things the XLE lacks compared to the Limited is memory seats, automatic wipers and laser cruise control. We didn't think that those were worth $4,000. We bought this car for $30,800.

yes, I meant $36,383 +TTL. I do agree with you about the AWD reviews. My cousin has an AWD and he changed his tires after 25K miles. He was told that the quality of rubber used in runflat tires is different from the regular tires and is more prone for early wear and tear.
 
In addition to the memory seats, automatic wipers and laser control as you have rightly mentioned
some of the standard featues on Limited in comparision to XLE are:
int day/night automatic rearview mirror
ext day/night automatic electrochromatic mirror, fold them with push of a button.
heated front seats
parking distance sensors
power sunroof
front fog lights
stability control ( not available on XLE)
High intensity discharge lights
daytime running lights
power folding third row (only in FWD)
17 inches alloy wheel.
 
If you are getting these features as a package with XLE then you can cut a great deal.
 
For people currently in the market, I think dynamic laser cruise control is a great feature mostly offered in new luxury cars. This is in addition to your regular cruise control. This feature is very helpful on the highways where the laser keeps the safe distance between you and the front car by matching the speed.
 
Good luck to all the future owners.

I have these items you listed on my XLE:
 
heated front seats
parking distance sensors
power sunroof
stability control (where did you see it isn't available? Mine has it)
daytime running lights
17 inches alloy wheels
 
You can double check on Edmunds, but with EVP#4, I believe that only the wheels were an additional option.
 
IMO, the day/night mirrors aren't necessary with the tinted rear window. The HID lights were available in an additional package, I think.
 
It's totally a matter of preference as to whether the missing tech features are worth the money. I have most of them on our other car, and think most are either a pain in the ass or gimmicky. But like I said, it's just my opinion.
 
I still would advise potential buyers to compare and contrast the Limited with the XLE before they buy, however. In the end, the "Limited" tag on the rear is the most expensive option of all.
