I've been driving my 2008 Avalon Limited for 10 days or so. I used my Credit Union's internet car pricing service (similar to the email-type service available at Edmunds) to start getting prices. One of the problems in Houston is that most of the vehicles get aftermarket add-on packages once they pass through the Gulf States Distribution center. These packages are of varying levels of uselessness, and may make it harder to get a decent price unless you order a spec vehicle -- in which case I anticipated that a dealer would be less likely to negotiate. Fortunately, I ended up with a couple of dealers competing with each other over the internet in terms of price on an incoming spec-vehicle (i.e. prior to add-on packages). I was ready to take the plunge on a vehicle that was 2-weeks away from delivery, but was fortunate to find a vehicle on a dealer's lot that was previously special ordered for someone else (and likewise, did not have the add-on packages). The dealer met my price requirements, of which the internet price emails I had on hand. $35,300 plus TT&L 2008 Avalon Limited, Blizzard Pearl Nav System, Laser Cruise, VSC, Power Passenger Seat, Car Mats Park Pilot (Rear Park Assist) to be added by dealer next week I also was able to take advantage of O%/36 Month Financing. The Blizzard Pearl with the light interior was not my first choice in color, since I knew that it would be difficult to keep clean (especially the interior -- when you put my young children in the equation). However, it sure looks beautiful when clean!!

| Hello, I'm interested in obtaining a 36 month lease on the stated Avalon Lt. and wondering if anyone in the Atlanta area can share any info and/or experiences. I currently have a 06 Lexus ES that I lease and plan to either lease another ES (especially now that they're redesigned and alot faster) or the Avalon Lt. I also love that car but like in 06, Lexus is offering a much better lease. If I could get matching leases I think I'd try the Avalon this time. Thanks in advance for any advise you may have. | |

Has anyone leased or purchased a 2008 Avalon Limited in NJ? How was it configured and what did it cost you? I can buy or lease so I would be interested in finding out about both. Anywhere in NY City or NJ is within easy reach. Thanks, |

My mom just purchased a 08 Limited with Laser Cruise, Voice Nav, 6-disc, Power Passenger Seat, Package "D", Blizzard Paint, Floor mats and Trunk mat, Sunroof wind deflector, paint and interior package (????). Window $41,630, price $35,515.xx. Total out the door at Ron Carter in Alvin $38,000.00. She actually walked in after having driven a couple over the last month and wanted an out the door price. They gave her $39,6xx OTD. She said $37,500 OTD. They said no way, so she walked out on friendly terms. This was at 2:30 to 3:00 o'clock. They called her back at 7:00 the same evening said $38.000.00 OTD and it's yours. She picked it up the next morning. This was a half cash, half 0% 36 month deal. Not to bad based on this forum. |

| I just wanted to add my experience. I used the internet quotes from Edmunds to see what prices I could get on a 2008 Limited with Dynamic Laser Cruise, Power seat for passenger, VSC, floor and trunk mats, XM satellite (factory installed) from Vegas dealerships - My experience was interesteing becuase some of the dealerships that Edmunds sent me to actually came back to me with a price higher than the TMV by Edmunds. That made no sense to me whatsoever. I truly think Edmunds should kick those dealerships off of its site for that nonsense. Anyway, after a few phone emails and a couple calls I got what I wanted - in the color I wanted - for $33,185.00 -- MSRP was $37,273.00. the dealer tacked on a few nonsense Doc Fees that I had to negotiate down. It is unfortunate that I stumbled on this site after I bought my car - but I still feel pretty good about my purchase. | |
