#1325 of 1417 Re: Tacoma/Seattle Avalon XLS prices [tacomagal] by nimimi Dec 08, 2007 (10:09 am)
Replying to: tacomagal (Dec 08, 2007 7:59 am) I'm in Tri-Cities and I bought a Limited with VSC, 8-way passenger seat, 5-carpeted floor mats and 2 dealer installed items that they wouldn't remove (mud guards and wind deflector). I paid $33,150 which is around $600 over invoice or $3,800 under MSRP. That includes $660 destination charge and $440 "dealer advertising."
#1326 of 1417 Returning the favor by lakebreeze1 Dec 16, 2007 (9:29 am)
Just wanted to thank all the posters. Helped again in my search for a good price on an Avalon Ltd. $31,914 +ttl. Options were 8 way power passenger seat, VS, and floor mats. Very little back and forth nego. I rejected the dealers first offer and they went with basically my counter.   Wilde Toyota in Milwaukee, WI. I previously did an e-mail only purchase but decided to let them have a shot before I did that as the salesman had earned the courtesy. I liked the fact that they let me test drive w/o a salesman ride along. Having 22+ yrs. Toyota experience, I didn't need a sales talk.
#1327 of 1417 08 Limited... by tunrac Jan 04, 2008 (8:24 pm)
... with all the trimmings including Blizzard Pearl Paint. MSRP is $39044.   Is a price of around $34000 + Tax and Tags good? No trade and brand spanking new car with no miles. OTD cost for this car here in CA would be around $37200.
#1328 of 1417 Good price for an xls? by kokomo2 Jan 05, 2008 (4:16 pm)
We live an hour away from a Toyota plant that makes the Avalon in KY. I thought that living this close and it being an an in-state transaction would help lower the price. After reading some of the previoius posts, it seems as if the 1st price we were quoted today is a bit too high, even though the dealer claims it to be $200 over his invoice. It's a 2008 XLS(not the ltd) with the following options: voice activated DVD Navigation, 6 disc CD and bluetooth 8 way adjustable power front passenger w/ seat heater VSC, TRAC and BA Carpet floor mats/trunk mat remote engine starter   Sticker price $37,093 "$200 over invoice" quote: $33,034   Any suggestions you can give me on a counter offer to make would be appreciated!

Replying to: kokomo2 (Jan 05, 2008 4:16 pm) kokomo2: Have you tried the Nav Sys and the Remote Start? Both are a JOKE---Nav is totally user UNFRIENDLY and you need to be practically on the car before the Remote Start is effective. Suggest you read past Forums regarding both systems. I had both in my 06 Limited--sold the car--fed up with the quirky tranny that the dealer said was acting normal!! I've driven for over 53 years----i know how a tranny should shift. Over 40 years ago, my buddy had a remote start system--we used to sit in a restaurant, start the car and watch the amazing reactions of people passing by. Go buy a Garmin GPS--better product and over 2/3's less cost! There are plenty of good aftermarket remote starts! Good luck!!! Bob Replies to this message: booppj (Jan 06, 2008 10:29 am)

Replying to: bobwiley (Jan 06, 2008 9:31 am) I am looking at an XLS as well, but am now weary because of the tranny. I am looking at a 2007. Have you heard of issues with those?
#1331 of 1417 Re: Toyota Avalon,how much did you pay? [googlestars] by vegaslee Jan 15, 2008 (5:37 pm)
Replying to: googlestars (Jul 20, 2003 8:26 pm) Picked up my 08 XLS just before the end of December. $1000 below invoice plus they threw in window tinting ($200 value). Awesome buying experience, called their internet department the day before, told them exactly what I wanted and scheduled an appointment. Showed up and bypassed all the salespeople on the lot and they immediately offered the deal (even before I ever saw a car). They had what I wanted and all that was left was the paper work which I think took too long to finish because they were busy (2 hours). Second car I bought from this dealer - the first one I did over the phone and they offered me $1500 below the other dealer in town for the exact same car (they swapped the other dealer for it).   Centennial Toyota - Las Vegas
#1332 of 1417 2008 Touring by mdm4 Jan 22, 2008 (5:31 am)
I just purchased a 2008 Avalon Touring from Rockland Toyota (NY State). The buying experience was one of the best that I have had. I paid invoice plus ofcourse the national advertising fee of approximately $500. When it was time to sit with the finance manager there was no hard sell for any extras. He did mention about the extended warranty and quoted me a price of $1,250 but when I showed him a post from this site about a Toyota dealership that was selling them for $617 he offered it to me for $650, which I accepted because he was such a nice guy. I do need advice about the XM radio. I was going to have the dealer install it but after I learned that they mount the antenna on the roof I declined. I am confused because I have seen other Avalons with the antenna mounted next to the third brake light on the back deck. Has anyone had the XM radio installed by an after market retailor like best buy or circuit city or has anyone installed it themselves?
#1333 of 1417 Avalon Touring in N. Calif by pedalstomper Feb 16, 2008 (8:59 am)
I've been looking for an 08' Avalon Touring in SF Bay Area. I've been to several dealers and none of them had them. One dealer said that Toyota doesn't ship that model to N. Calif. Of course, calling Toyota USA was no help. Has anyone bought or seen an 08' Avalon Touring in SF Bay Area?
#1334 of 1417 08 Limited by emperorjvl Feb 18, 2008 (9:50 am)
Hi!!   1st, I'd like to thank all the posters here. This thread is very helpful.   Just got a 08 Limited, with VSC, passenger power seat and Dynamic Laser Cruise Control (no mats - cheapskates! haha but I got them on ebay for 1/2 price). Out the door $34,800 which includes 6% sales tax. Also got 0 down and 0% financing or 3 years, though I did put a down payment. Up in 355 in MD... hope that helps.   I love this car, but man, it's deceptive - it's bigger than it looks.   Shopping went like this: went to 355, they could get the car with a swap, they showed me their "invoice", wanted something between that and msrp. I said no. Spent a day calling other dealers and offering $33,000 out-the-door for exactly the same car. Got one to offer $35,000, called 355 and told them if they beat that by a couple of hundred I would buy there, they accepted. Paperwork took way too long, I think, more than 3.5 hours including all the selling me extra stuff, but nice people all around.
