Replying to: blueempireprin (Jul 04, 2008 2:11 pm) I spec'd out an '08 Avalon Limited loaded except the navigation system, in the Kansas City area for about $32,200. I haven't bought it yet because I don't return from my overseas deployment until later this month. All of the KC dealers made offers ranging from $33,500 to MSRP. Same with St Louis dealers. I found a dealer in St Joseph MO, 50 miles north of KC that quoted the $32,200. When I go to make the deal, I'm going to try and get it below $32K or have about $500 worth of extras thrown in. My goal is $31,500 out the door. I figure I have the advantage because these cars are not selling. Also, I plan to try the Costco sales club car pricing service, too.

I'm looking to purchase a 2008 Toyota Avalon-Limited. Can the buyers in the Dallas-Forth Worth area share your purchasing experiences and prices?
#1370 of 1402 2005 Avalon extended Toyota warranty purchase by williewonkster Jul 11, 2008 (7:56 pm)
I wish to purchase an extended warranty for my 2005 Avalon XLS Sedan which has 31,200 miles on it. I live in So. California and have found dealer prices around $1800---want to do better than that. Any suggestions? Willie Replies to this message: fin (Jul 12, 2008 5:07 am)

Replying to: williewonkster (Jul 11, 2008 7:56 pm) This is an often discussed question in the Avalon forums. You may buy from any Toyota dealer. Use the search box (search on extended or warranty) to find a lot of choices in the various discussions or take a more simple route and call Toyota of Greenfield in MA. Their number is on their website along with a contact name. They sell a lot of warranties and price is the reason. Under $1k is likely. There are others certainly, but this is good place to shop based on many posts on these boards. Good luck. Enjoy your Avy.

Well I want to know if I received a good deal for our Limited. I just purchased our new 2008 Avalon Limited with everything. VSC, Remote start, set of floor mats, Nav system, and the Dynamic Cruise control. Oh and the wheel locks. We paid $35500 +TTand L.   MSRP on the car was $39900. What do you guys think?
#1375 of 1402 Good deal on new demo Avy? by mikes. Jul 22, 2008 (8:01 pm)
An area dealer has an 08 Limited fully loaded that was the GM's demo car. It has about 6,800 miles on it. But still considered new since it's never been registered.   MSRP on the car is 34,814. They are offering it to me for 33,100.   Does this sound like a good deal to you all?   Another dealer is offering the same exactly equipped car, different vin, for 33,778.

#1376 of 1402 My New Avalon Limited by fool1717 Jul 23, 2008 (8:58 am)
I just bought a new 2008 Avalon Limited with the following options: * Vehicle Stability Control * Navigation * XM Satellite * Carpet Mats * Park Pilot * Dynamic Laser Cruise Control * Power Passenger Seat   MSRP = $40,037 -- Invoice = $34,983 My Price = $35,202 + TT&L ($4,835 below MSRP, 88% of MSRP -- $219 over Invoice, 0.6% more)   Buying Process: Contacted 15 Houston area Toyota dealers, initially via the Internet, describing my desired vehicle and asking for a quote. Continued email exchanges with the few dealers who gave a decent quote on a vehicle close to my specs. Talked with a few of them on the phone. For a time my best quote was about $36,500. When I talked with the Internet rep from Community Toyota in Baytown, I told her that I had received some fair quotes, but was still looking for a quote that said the dealership really wanted my business. She replied with the $35,202 quote that I accepted. I gave three other dealers the opportunity to beat that price, and none could.   Some things I learned: * The Internet rep I dealt with at Community apparently does not office at the dealership. I don't know how common that is. When I visited the dealer the first time, the people there had to confer with her to confirm the price she quoted. To their credit, the dealership honored the quote. * The State of Texas levies an Inventory Tax to dealers of about 0.2%. On this vehicle the charge amounted to about $80. Just about all dealers pass on that charge to the buyer, but it is actually a negotiable item. I wasn't able to remove the charge or get them to reduce the $35,202 to compensate. Maybe you'll have better luck. * The current panic over gas prices has greatly devalued the trade-in value of larger vehicles. Don't expect to get anywhere near the trade-in value you see on Edmunds or any other publication. On the other hand, smaller fuel-efficient vehicles are in such great demand these days that (one would think) their trade-in value should exceed book values.

Replying to: fool1717 (Jul 23, 2008 8:58 am) Sounds like a great deal. My mom bought back in April a limited like you are describing for $38,000.00 out the door. This was at Ron Carter in Alvin Tx. It windowed for $41,603.xx (I believe).   She looked at and drove several different Avalons the month before, walked in, picked out a color, and made an offer. They countered, she said no thanks and left. This was at 3:00 pm. At 6:00 pm they called her back and said if you will take delivery tomorrow, we will let it go out the door for $38,000.00 even. She said deal!!! She was paying cash, but ended up with 1/2 cash, and 1/2 36 months 0% I believe.   Good job.
