#9349 of 12160 2009 Sienna LE by redpearl

Aug 12, 2009 (12:45 pm)

Purchased my vehicle at Capitol Toyota on May 1, 2009 in San Jose, Ca.
 
MSRP=$27,774 for 8 passenger (5338) with LE EVP #2, CF, Cargo net, etc.
 
Price quoted for the salsa red pearl pictured on the internet was $23,900 after factory rebate but before TTL.
 
Dealer was the only one to respond with a quote for my exact specifications.
 
Considering the safety equipment and other standard items vs. my 2005 Highlander I feel this vehicle was a good value.

#9350 of 12160 C4C caused our deal to fall through! by kens

We are in the market for a 2010 Sienna Ltd AWD. We went through Carsdirect.com and they found us one for invoice. We were all set to receive the car tomorrow when we got a call telling us that the dealer reneged on the deal. Apparently, because of C4C, the dealer they were working with closed down their internet sales department and wanted MSRP+500 for the vehicle.
 
Unfortunately, Carsdirect could not find any other vehicle at a reasonable price now because of inventories being so low and buyers now bidding up the vehicle prices. The next batch of shipments is not due until Sept/Oct...
 
Sorely disappointed at the recent turn of events...

San Diego. Was getting quotes for 2010 LE with EVP2 one week before C4C started in anticipation of a quick C4C transaction. Got many low competitive quotes and was ready to buy the lowest one at $24.5k but had to go on vacation for a full week when C4C started. When I came back ready to buy the the cars quoted were all sold and suddenly new quotes for same options were much higher, the lowest at $25.8k (Escondido). Now the dealers basically wouldn't quote and would say "Drop by and we'll talk. The dealers gained the upper hand in one weeks time and refused to go lower!
 
I negotiated at Escondido for 3 hours ($25.8k) before driving to Kearny Mesa to purchase the same vehicle (EVP2, daytime lights, mats, towing package) on a special internet priced deal for the 8-passenger LE at $24.9k. Got the $3.5k off for an old Windstar worth $500. Pretty happy with the savings but unhappy with the paperwork involved and confusion on the dealers side in doing a C4C (the process was still new).

Please let me know if you were able to negotiate a better price. I'm currently shopping for the same model.

$31,850 is about invoice price.
I purchased xle evp4 with extra pair earphones on july 30, 2009.
MSRP: $35,087
price: 31,050 (plus tax, doc)
it might be difficult to duplicate this b/c of low inventory due to C4C; i suggest you wait a little while for inventory to increase. C4C is a disaster for the consumer.....and soon we will see increased in repossesion ...similar to the foreclosure situation. our govt just is so short sighted!
 
good luck with your purchase!

It's hard to gauge OTD pricing since each state has different taxes.
What is the MSRP and buying price?
 
Your price looks very competitive.

That just stinks!
 
Wait for the C4C money to run out, then you will have leverage again. Right now it is a seller's market.

What if we wait for the C4C money to run out and the congress decides to refresh it with another $2 billion, citing the tremendous "success" of the program.

Then wait for the dealers to get POed with it and stop accepting clunker trade ins. The latest news is the program has only paid out on only 2% of the applications and rejected 80% for procedural errors forcing the dealers to resubmit. Dealer margins are usually slim, and they are waiting a long time to get upwards of one third of the sale value paid. The cash flow crunch this is causing could pull some more dealers under.
