What should I pay for a 2007 Limited with carpet mats? I live in Wisconsin but would be willing to purchase in Illinois. Is the smart start worth the cost? Thanks.

lew3: MSRP of an 07 Limited is $34,068 + mat set $199 + delivery $620= $34,884. Dealer invoice is $30,596. So start from the dealer invoice and work up--not from the MSRP down! Remember, the dealer also gets 3% Holdback on the MSRP which equals $1,046 on the 3$34,884 MSRP. Probably not going to find a Limited with just the mat set on a dealers lot--most will have VSC & Trac Control--Nav (CRAP) and Remote Start (CRAP). So. unless you're willing to get one off the lot with a few goodies---you'll probably have to order. I like the Smart Start--no having to fumble with keys--walk up and the door unlocks--can't lock the car with the "fob" inside--at night the car puddle lamps under the mirrors and interior lights come--nice! The Nav and remote Start--CRAP. I have an 06 Limited--it is loaded--VSC & Trac (great in the Ozarks), Remote Start, Nav, Laser Cruise--love it, XM Radio, body side moldings (a must), splash guards and a couple of other things. Do your homework and use the internet to contact as many dealers as you can!! You can get a list from www.toyota.com Remember--when you look at dealers inventory, you'll see "In Stock" and "Available"---the available are sitting in a dealers supply area and "all" the dealers within a specified distance can pull from that stock. So don't be surprised when looking at dealer inventories you'll see the same cars listed as "Available!" Good luck!!

Bob,
I am the market to upgrade my 2001 Avalon XLS with 94,000 miles. My plan the last few years is to sell my car myself and buy a used or off lease one or two year old Avalon with less than 25,000 miles and drive it four years and buy again. It seems like they are getting such high prices for 2005 and 2006's that I might be better off to buy new.From what I have read from the other members it sounds like if you could buy at 89%(good) to 87%(great)of the sticker price would be a decent deal. Any thoghts.
Thanks Ted

Ted: Sorry about the 1st message--my "fat fingers!!" I'm not sure how many Avalons are leased. Dealers will generally "deal" on returned leases. I do know that if you can, you always get more $$$ out of your car if you can sell it yourself--some folks don't like the hassle. Best way is to get between the "Trade-in & Retail" price. I do know Avalon's really hold their resale value! I just checked EBAY as I'm going to list my 06 "loaded" Limited--buying a "toy" for my wife--she's always wanted a 64 1/2 --66 Mustang convertible. I was amazed at the asking prices for 05's and 06's! Guess I'll see what the market will bring--I'm going to "sweeten" the sale by including the remainder of a 7 year/75K "0" Deductible Toyota Warranty(6 years/67K miles) Bottom line--Avalons sell---folks know the quality and reliability--100K + miles means ntohing to them. Good luck!
Bob

well rick72, let's see.. you bought an 07 limited with a sticker of 36,200, and took it off the lot for an otd cost of 33,559, a difference of 2,640 dollars. I didn't buy the limited, but instead got he XLS.. The sticer on mine was 33,300 and I drove it off the lot for a final otd cost of $26,800 a difference of 6500 so outwardly it would appear that your deal was not that lucrative.. however you do have a few more bells and whistles on the limited. I would say this to anyone who wonders how well they did negotiating a car price... if you're happy with the out the door cost, then you made a good deal. JMO Enjoy your new AVY..I've had mine since Sept. and really think it may be the best car i've ever purchased.
