#1408 of 1417 Re: 07 Avalon XLS - Did I get got? 1st time buyer [fool1717] by sleepydoll Oct 28, 2008 (4:01 pm)
Replying to: fool1717 (Oct 28, 2008 10:34 am) Hello, Thank you for responding.. I actually went back to the dealership today and I explained the samething you said about the numbers not adding up..And expressed the fact that I really didn't need all that extra stuff..   So I got rid of all the extra stuff and the GAP was the GAP insurance incase anything happens (God forbid) and the car is totaled they pay it off and they pay any deductable as well as the interest paid. But I dropped it all. And the interest rate on the new contract is a little over a point less... So I end up financing..   $24631.29   I feel better with that when I look at it compared to some of the other cars in the area.. And when I did the appraisal in Edmunds it's a little under.. So I don't feel as bad as I did.. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Oct 29, 2008 3:15 am) fool1717 (Oct 29, 2008 8:42 am)

rpfingsten,   It's Blue Mirage Metalic and thanks for the validation! You're right, the car was essentially brand new and the sticker was $38,200. I fully appreciate the amazing deal I got because at the same time a friend purchased a Camry for more than what I paid for the fully loaded Avalon LTD. Almost seven months later it only has 7,100 miles on it.

#1412 of 1417 American Express Buying Service by bwia Oct 31, 2008 (8:23 am)
Has any one used the American Express buying service that guarantees to save buyers an average of $750 on a new car purchase? I am not sure if that savings is off MSRP or the average transaction price.   The promotion came in the mail and it does not show how much the service cost but the average savings seems low. Perhaps most buyers could do better on their own, but then again, there are buyers who hate to haggle.
#1413 of 1417 anybody purchased Avalon lately? by zengdehe Nov 04, 2008 (12:23 pm)
I am thinking about buying either Touring or XLE '08 or '09 model and would like to have a rough idea on how much the price will be? Thought I have seen on newspaper ad weeks back that some dealers were selling Touring model for around $22K...   I live in Dallas.   Thanks a million!!
#1414 of 1417 2009 Limited Demo Car by cbusto Nov 13, 2008 (8:33 am)
Hi, First poster here. I've owned 2 Avalons thus far....a 2000 XLS and a 2006 XLS. I Loved both of them. I'm looking now at a 2009 Limited fully loaded with Nav, etc. BUT....it was the General Manager's car and has about 7,600 miles on it.   My question to this group......how much of a discount --- OVER AND ABOVE what I would normally expect to get on this car with 0 miles on it, should I expect to see? MSRP was $39,417.....and the first offer they gave me was $2k discount plus a whopping $880 off for the mileage bringing the price to about $36,500 which according to Edmunds is what any joe blow should expect to see on a brand new car. I laughed at them and walked out.   Now, they're calling me back and wanting to deal. So......what sort of extra price breaks should I expect for a demo car with this kind of mileage? I haven't a clue! Replies to this message: shrimpy (Nov 13, 2008 10:52 am) jamesewells (Nov 13, 2008 1:28 pm) 35divg2 (Nov 14, 2008 6:14 am)

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) My Mom bought in April, Limited with everything but headrest DVD, sticker was $41,6XX. She paid $38,000 even OUT THE DOOR. That was in mid April. Market has changed DRASTICALLY. Deal with them on an out the door basis. Offer what you are comfortable with out the door (OTD). You can back figure taxes and fees. Moms car was discounted over $6,000 off of window. Edmunds, at the time said, around $37,750 plus TT&L. She loves the car.   I would offer $29,000 OTD, NO MORE THAN $31,000 OTD. Also tell them you want the top of the line Toyota warranty throw in at what ever price you choose. Just my opinion, I have not been keeping up with prices.

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) I just bought a 2009 XLS, window sticker $34,800 for $30,800 and I probably could have done a little better but was tired of bargaining. This was at the end of August. I love the car and only wish the suspension was a little more firm. BTW, the Touring model is discontinued.

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) I purchased a new car identical to the one you are looking at minus the DVD Nav and Laser Cruise Control (figure they are worth $3K). I added a $100K warranty and paid a total of $33K. I would hold firm to $34K and ask for the 100K warranty at no extra charge. Toyota sales are down and you are in a buyers market.
