#1209 of 1474 2007 Phantom Gray Limited w/Nav by fin Feb 03, 2007 (8:41 pm)
Here are some numbers for anyone in the metro Atlanta area:   2007 Limited w/Nav, the Toyoguard package and floor/trunk mats. List was $37,550., paid $34k even plus local taxes and title fees. No trade-in. Obviously, that's a discount of $3750 from list.   You can probably do a little better, but this dealer, Marietta Toyota, is the one that has done all my service ('99 and '03 Avalons) and is closest to my house. Negotiation is a pain as the sales department tries to intimidate the customer, using every offensive tactic you read here on these boards. But you only see them once. The service department, seen regularly, is really what's important and they have been very good with quality work and fair prices.   Good luck in the search.......

#1212 of 1474 Limited Pricing by wbb56 Feb 09, 2007 (5:52 pm)
The invoice for the Avalon I want (Limited w/Nav, Stability, Dynamic Cruise, XM) is 33,000. I plan to offer $34250 + $625 destination. Is this a reasonable offer?   Thanks! Replies to this message: bobwiley (Feb 10, 2007 3:54 pm) wbb56 (Feb 10, 2007 6:13 pm) bobwiley (Feb 10, 2007 7:47 pm)

Replying to: wbb56 (Feb 09, 2007 5:52 pm) wbb56: Remember, the dealer gets a 3% Holdback on the vehicles MSRP. So on a vehicle with an MSRP of $30K he automatically makes $900 even if he sold it to you at invoice. Best way to figure if your offer is a good one--first take 3% of the MSRP and then subtract the invoice price from what he'll sell you the vehicle for. Example: MSRP $38500 times .03%= $1,155. Say he'll sell the car to you for $35K--the invoice is $33K----he just made $2K plus the $1,155--not to bad for the dealer!! Work the figures backward from the 3% Holdback and then see if you have a "sweet" deal or not. Work as many dealers as possible against each other. Good luck!

Replying to: wbb56 (Feb 10, 2007 6:13 pm) Billy---glad to help. Not surewhere you live; however, if close to a metropolitan area, go to www.toyota.com and you can get a list of the dealers in that area. You'll note that when you check a particular dealers inventory, you'll see "In Stock" and "Available." Check another local dealer and you'll notice that his "Available" vehicles match those of the other dealer! This is because all the dealers in that area can draw from the same "pool" of cars. It would be interesting to see just how much difference in the "bottom line" existed between the dealers! Good luck! Bob
#1216 of 1474 Fleet pricing by airboss Feb 13, 2007 (5:32 pm)
I have been given access to a friend's 'fleet pricing' on an Avalon LTD. The dealer says he has to go in and look at each invoice, to give me the fleet price. Yesterday, before the local winter storm, I looked at an '07 LTD, MSRP of roughly $36,600....he said fleet price was $33,000....approximately $430 over invoice. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment list, but hope to get it tomorrow, to compare invoice to MSRP to what he offered.   Any ideas if this is fair, and is there somewhere you can find fleet pricing info?   Thanks. Steve, excited to buy an '07 Avalon this week! Replies to this message: fin (Feb 16, 2007 6:43 am) airboss (Feb 21, 2007 5:43 am)

Replying to: airboss (Feb 13, 2007 5:32 pm) My '07 Limited had an MSRP about $1k higher than the one you mention and I paid 1k more ($34k) plus local taxes, tag, etc. I thought it was fair. You might do a little better if you try as several posts indicate the dealer will get money from Toyota in addition to what the consumer pays... good luck...

#1218 of 1474 Recent Prices for a Basic Avalon XL in Dallas Area by zebra5 Feb 20, 2007 (4:02 am)
In Texas, there appears to be no such thing as an Avalon XL with stability control and no other options. I'd like to hear the "how to" from buyers who have successfully avoided overpaying for all the frivolous Gulf States Toyota distributor options. Anyone care to share recent prices paid for an XL in Texas, specifically Dallas area if possible? Or is that Extra Mile Option Pkg A really worth every penny of the $1280 list price, and I should just accept it as a cost of doing business with Toyota where I live?
