Am looking at 2007 Avalon XLS, 9000 miles, nav, does not have heated seats. Asking price is 27999. Does this sound about right? Thanks!

I think you could do better. In April I purchased a 2007 Avalon Touring Edition with no miles in Titanium Metallic with moonroof, JPL stereo, PN anti-theft, in-dash 6-disc & floor mats for $27,700 including destination (I think that's $500) but not including tax. MSRP was $32k. I used one dealership against another to get my price on the phone from home. I'm in the Atlanta area. Hope this helps.

What was your price paid relative to the invoice price? by jmbklj

I have a 2001 XL purchased Sept 2000 using only the internet, and I paid $500 over invoice (based on Edmund's invoice info). I live in central Ohio and I emailed most of the Toyota dealers in Ohio (Attention Internet Sales Manager) indicating exactly what color and options I wanted and that I was willing to pay $500 over invoice. I had no trade in and no financing - a simple straight forward deal. Several dealers did not respond at all but one immediately responded and did not quibble with my price based on $500 over invoice. The car was delivered 100 miles to my driveway, for no extra charge. It was a great car buying experience!
 
I am ready to buy another Avalon and am thinking of doing the same but am wondering what amount over invoice is appropriate now. Is $500 or $600 over invoice reasonable now?
 
Whether you bought an XL, XLS, Limited or Touring, what was your price relative to invoice? And in what state was the purchase?

Bought my '07 Limited in metro Atlanta. We are covered in Toyota dealers here, probably 10 of them within 50 miles of my house. In February I paid about $500. over cost, maybe a little more, but they got the car I wanted (paid 34k for a Limited w/NAV, sticker was 37.5). Dealer sales dept price negotiation was awful (Marietta Toyota) but this is the best service in the area.
 
You can do a little better, probably, than I did. New ones are coming so it's time to make a deal on the 2007's. Someone who has purchased recently may have better numbers. $500. over.. sounds more than reasonable. Good luck!

I'm the one who in April purchased a 2007 Avalon Touring (see my post above yours). I pd $27,700 incl. destination ($500) but not incl. tax. MSRP was $32k. I believe this means I paid $1,252 below invoice. I test drove car then went online to see inventory & found one I would be happy w/then called that dealership to make offer then I also called dealership I test drove with to see what they could do. I went back & forth a bit but from home w/o pressure. Dealership I test drove w/were no hassle therefore they got my sale. I'm in the Atlanta area.

Avoid Jim Coleman Toyota of Bethesda, Maryland by jhs70

In the market for a new Toyota? BEWARE of Jim Coleman Toyota in Bethesda, Maryland. Recently I had a horrendous experience there. The long and the short of it is that they jerked me around on my trade-in by outright lying about its condition. And it wasn’t a “minor” lie that they tried to propagate. All of this was done to lowball my trade, I am sure. Why they couldn’t come out and tell me they would only offer X for it, and leave it at that, I don’t know. No, they took it one step further and manufactured a lie, a lie which took me the better part of a day to resolve, and in the process greatly upsetting my wife and I.
These people are scum for doing that. I just wanted you to know.

Update on the new 07 Avalon Limited
 
Just had my first oil change and 5K service. All seems to be working very well. I have noticed an excellent improvement in gas mileage. Highway miles 31+. Really pleased with the ipod connection installed by Best Buy.

Does anyone know if there will be any price incentives/rebates on the 07 Avalon? What are the chances of me getting near or below "invoice" prices on an 07? I live in northeast Pa.
