So what is the invoice price according to them. What is the model, and option they quoted you the price? The incentive they are getting is different for each region. You need to take all these into consideration. I am also looking into buying a Sienna LE with option#2, waiting for the dealer to get back to me, I will let you know ASA I get the price, I hope you do the same.

It's a 2010 XLE with the EVP#1, MSRP of $30,600 . I have the print out of the "invoice". My question is really pertaining to the fleet incentive from Toyota Motor Sales of $1000. This is different from the Toyota "consumer" incentive of $1000 or 1.9% financing. In doing some research, I saw a dealer advertising fee and Wholesale Financial Reserves fee on the invoice. both costs total, $800.
 
So back to my original question. Has anyone had success in getting a true invoice price from a dealer. If I walk into a dealer and show them that their invoice price of 27,000 is really 25,200 (1000 fleet money - 800 fees). What's a fair profit margin for a dealer?
 
What got me started on this is the original MRSP was 30,600 and the sales guy thought it was possible to get me in to the car at 27,750....well of course if their margin is at $2550 (27750 - 25200).
 
Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks everyone!

The Honda Odyssey prices paid forum is brimming with posts (and some great deals!), but the Toyota Sienna prices paid forum is unusually quiet. It will be great to know what people have been paying for Siennas recently. Thanks!

Hi, I am new to toyota and we looked at honda's and I really thought I was going to go with one but I was super disappointed with the test drive and the handling and loud road noise. So toyota here we come...
 
I am unfamiliar with the lingo of toyota. What I am looking for is a toyota with leather seats in stone and slate metallic.
 
I also want DVD in the car.
 
So what kind of options do I have?
 
So for leather seats is my only option the XLE & Limited?
For DVD, what package # do I need?
 
Any good deals out there in SoCal for 4th of July?
 
Thanks!
Maytal

Sienna or Bust - I'm bust by goldengate99

I tried and tried to buy a 09 or 10 Sienna in St Louis, MO at the middle/end of June. I could NOT find a dealer willing to sell me a car. I previously posted about an 09 XLE LTD with DVD (no nav) with 5100 miles on it. they wanted $34. my husband offered them 32 cash. they let him walk out of the dealership, he told them he was driving to ST Louis Honda and they said FINE! I could not believe it.
 
I preferred the Sienna over the Odyssey in some ways, but at the end of the day I decided the Ody was for us because of:
 
1. parent cannot control DVD in Sienna, at all.
2. Sienna's horrible crash test results for rear crashes (Institute for Highway Safety)
3. Sienna is a bit uglier in my opinion
4. The Sienna does not have satellite NAV, it's DVD driven
5. The Sienna has worse residual value than the Odyssey
6. The Ody is XM radio ready, the Sienna is not. I did not think this was a big deal until I got hooked on XM recently.
7. I found the Ody seats a bit more comfy.
8. The Toyota guys at 4 St Louis Toyota dealerships were total a-holes. The Honda guys were as nice as could be and willing to sell cars.
 
Ackerman Toyota in St Louis was willing to sell me a 2010 Sienna XLE EVP3, for under $30K but it was slate blue and every sienna one ever sees is slate blue - a little too pedestrian for me.
 
I liked that the Sienna was quieter, but that's about the only thing that I loved about it.
 
So, I would have bought a Sienna if i could... but I am an Ody owner now for 2 weeks.

Based on you list of pros and cons I don't see you wanted a Sienna. If I had a comparison list like that, I would have written the Sienna off and not bothered to make and offer.

I want to trade my Odyssey for a Sienna! by jetzzs

I have had a 2007 Odyssey for 2 years and wish I had bought a Sienna! A couple months after I bought it the breaks felt like there was air in the break lines. I finally took it in (I procrastinate because I hate dealing with service departments). They said they could not replicate the problem. I took it back the next day with fresh blueberry muffins and right away they got a mechanic to sit in it and pump the breaks. 10 seconds and he said order a new master cylinder and this is dangerous!
 
They put a new master cylinder and a new VSA modulator on. Another couple months and it started doing the same thing! I am taking it in next week again.
 
I bought this new car for two reasons: safety and reliability (so I wouldn't have to deal with the service department!).
 
From the Odyssey message boards I have heard that this break problem has been going on for years and they still haven't found a solution!
 
I would appreciate any comments on Sienna reliability and Toyota service departments.
