#9177 of 9648 Advises on Chicago area dealers by tangjc Jun 12, 2009 (10:42 am)
Hi,   I am interested in buying a sienna XLE with option 3 or 2, has anybody bought it in some dealers close to Chicago? Any dealer recommended.   I am now a Honda guy, for Honda most people go to Elmhurt Honda because they can give you the lowest price. Since I am so new to Toyota, not sure if there is such one dealer so I don't need to hassle with other dealers.   I am OK with 2009 or 2010, whichever is cheaper.   John

Replying to: jimbob1 (Jun 12, 2009 10:19 am) That's exactly what I was looking for here at Edmunds. Where are the e-mail addresses of the dealers? But they only show the list of physical address. And the worst part is out of 50 dealers I could only e-mail to 3 of them because only those 3 had "Free Quote" options and gave me the check box to include them in my e-mail.   That's when I decided to go to Toyota.com but over there I also had to contact each dealer at a time, fill out a form for each dealer. To save time I just copy and past the body of my e-mail so that I don't have to type the same thing over and over again. But still, filling out the forms for 50 dealers is time consuming. I want to e-mail to all within 50 miles so that I could get the best quote.   I just thought there must be an easier way to do this? I mean, what's the purpose of Edmund? Why at the end I had to go to Toyota.com and do all the manual work? That's why I wanted to post this question here and learn from your experience.   Thanks!

Replying to: andrew007 (Jun 12, 2009 12:25 am) I suggest doing it one by one. Yes it takes longer, but the response rate is better than if they think you are mass emailing. If you put them BCC they will recognize that you are doing a mass mailing as well.   I didn't do 49 dealers but I did more than a dozen when i bought my Sienna (where are you to have the dealers that densely packed around you??) I basically cut and pasted the text to each dealer specifying what I wanted.   After that, your next step is playing them against each other. June is a good time to buy: the end of the month is also the end of the quarter and they've already transitioned to the 2010MY. The last week of June they'll be begging you to come in a finish a deal- that is when you have the leverage.

#9182 of 9648 2009 Sienna XLE AWD Limited $38000 OTD (including trade in) good deal? by momof8 Jun 15, 2009 (1:06 pm)
The MSRP on this Sienna is $43,126. It is loaded with the following:   PREFERRED PREMIUM ACCESSORY PKG -inc: cargo net, carpet floor mats & door sill protector, first aid kit (PPO) TOWING PREP PKG -inc: tow prep wire harness, receiver pkg REAR SPOILER (PPO) RUNNING BOARDS (PPO) XLE LIMITED PKG 2 -inc: JBL AM/FM stereo w/4-disc CD changer, (10) speakers, Bluetooth, DVD rear entertainment system w/9" screen, navigation system, (2) 115V auxiliary pwr outlets XM SATELLITE RADIO (PPO) CRUISE CONTROL W/HID HEADLAMPS -inc: laser cruise control, high-intensity discharge headlamps XLE LIMITED BASE MODEL COMBO *Contents in STD equipment* DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS   I'm trading in a 2000 Chrysler town & country with 121,000 miles on it for $2000. This is in the cleveland area. The dealer initially gave me $38,600, but just today went down to $38,000 (including tax, title, etc). Do you think there is more room for negotiations? What is a good price as on the edmunds invoice, there was no place to add the extra accessories this car has (i.e. spoiler, running boards, etc)

Replying to: glomo (Jun 15, 2009 11:05 am) The end of June is the end of the quarter so Toyota and the dealerships are modivated to get sales completed before the end of the month. Some dealers who were falling over themselves to sell you a van in June won't return your phone calls in July.

Replying to: andrew007 (Jun 12, 2009 11:40 am) The best way to make it easy! There is no reason to contact 50 dealers. The entire point of shopping online is to make an educated decision, save time, and get a good deal. There are a lot of Toyota's around, ask people where they got theirs and if they recommend anyone (or don't), then contact a handful, not 50. Don't get so wrapped up in the best price. If you contact a couple dealers then you can also pay attention to quality. Take the best offer to the contact you liked best and wrap it up. If you make it that difficult just gathering quotes, you'll never make it through to the end (which should be fun - driving away in a new sienna!) Take it easy and good luck
#9185 of 9648 2010 XLE+EVP#4 in the bay area by golls Jun 17, 2009 (12:55 pm)
How much have people been paying for a 2010 XLE with EVP#4? The 2009 Honda Odysseys seem to have some good deals right now, but I am more inclined towards the Sienna. One of the posters in this forum pointed out that this month being end of the quarter, we probably cannot expect better deals next month. What price do people suggest I target for the Sienna right now? Thanks!
