#1412 of 1474 American Express Buying Service by bwia Oct 31, 2008 (8:23 am)
Has any one used the American Express buying service that guarantees to save buyers an average of $750 on a new car purchase? I am not sure if that savings is off MSRP or the average transaction price.   The promotion came in the mail and it does not show how much the service cost but the average savings seems low. Perhaps most buyers could do better on their own, but then again, there are buyers who hate to haggle.
#1413 of 1474 anybody purchased Avalon lately? by zengdehe Nov 04, 2008 (12:23 pm)
I am thinking about buying either Touring or XLE '08 or '09 model and would like to have a rough idea on how much the price will be? Thought I have seen on newspaper ad weeks back that some dealers were selling Touring model for around $22K...   I live in Dallas.   Thanks a million!!
#1414 of 1474 2009 Limited Demo Car by cbusto Nov 13, 2008 (8:33 am)
Hi, First poster here. I've owned 2 Avalons thus far....a 2000 XLS and a 2006 XLS. I Loved both of them. I'm looking now at a 2009 Limited fully loaded with Nav, etc. BUT....it was the General Manager's car and has about 7,600 miles on it.   My question to this group......how much of a discount --- OVER AND ABOVE what I would normally expect to get on this car with 0 miles on it, should I expect to see? MSRP was $39,417.....and the first offer they gave me was $2k discount plus a whopping $880 off for the mileage bringing the price to about $36,500 which according to Edmunds is what any joe blow should expect to see on a brand new car. I laughed at them and walked out.   Now, they're calling me back and wanting to deal. So......what sort of extra price breaks should I expect for a demo car with this kind of mileage? I haven't a clue! Replies to this message: shrimpy (Nov 13, 2008 10:52 am) jamesewells (Nov 13, 2008 1:28 pm) 35divg2 (Nov 14, 2008 6:14 am)

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) My Mom bought in April, Limited with everything but headrest DVD, sticker was $41,6XX. She paid $38,000 even OUT THE DOOR. That was in mid April. Market has changed DRASTICALLY. Deal with them on an out the door basis. Offer what you are comfortable with out the door (OTD). You can back figure taxes and fees. Moms car was discounted over $6,000 off of window. Edmunds, at the time said, around $37,750 plus TT&L. She loves the car.   I would offer $29,000 OTD, NO MORE THAN $31,000 OTD. Also tell them you want the top of the line Toyota warranty throw in at what ever price you choose. Just my opinion, I have not been keeping up with prices.

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) I just bought a 2009 XLS, window sticker $34,800 for $30,800 and I probably could have done a little better but was tired of bargaining. This was at the end of August. I love the car and only wish the suspension was a little more firm. BTW, the Touring model is discontinued.

Replying to: cbusto (Nov 13, 2008 8:33 am) I purchased a new car identical to the one you are looking at minus the DVD Nav and Laser Cruise Control (figure they are worth $3K). I added a $100K warranty and paid a total of $33K. I would hold firm to $34K and ask for the 100K warranty at no extra charge. Toyota sales are down and you are in a buyers market.
#1418 of 1474 2008 Avalon Touring - $27,700 by calidave28 Dec 26, 2008 (1:07 pm)
Hello,   Just purchased a 2008 Avalon Touring for $27,700 (not including TTL).   Has the following options:   Vehicle Stabilty Control   Heated Seats   Moonroof   Anti-theft System   MSRP was $32,400   One thing to note, the $1,000 rebate was applied after the sales tax was added in. I didn't realize that's how the rebates worked. Not a big deal but good to know when you are doing your pre-sales calculations.   OTD price was $30,400 (hefty 8.625% NY sales tax)
#1419 of 1474 2008 Touring for $29,500.00 Out the door by ncee Dec 28, 2008 (6:26 am)
Hi. I purchased a 2008 Touring Avalon in Black, for $29,500.00 TOTAL. All taxes, paperwork / transportation, Document Administration, state sales tax and other fees they could add on.   Emerson Toyota, Auburn, Maine. The car was a dealer swap. And they have NO Avalons in stock at this time. A LT of Doctors, Lawyers and others in Maine, are purchasing Avalons, and saying NO to the Lexus. They say, they can use the savings to go on vacation or to purchase a camp, and in one case, I know a doctor who purchased a Camry for their daughter as a graduation gift. And between both cars, it was a few hundred LESS then the Lexus he was looking at.   The sticker price was $33,000.00   The car came with:   Heated seats Sun / Moon Roof Carpeted Floor mats Front and Rear Rear Spoiler 6 CD changer   I love the car, and have since been called by several dealers where I was looking to see if I purchased a new car yet. They all said about the same thing - "Why didn't you let us know, we could have beat that price"! It's easy to beat the price, when you don't have to, or after it's to late.   Now if they would have made me a nice offer in the beginning I would have likely purchased a Limited Edition model, as they seem to have some other great goodies with them.   Oh well, maybe I'll just have to trade-up (boy or boy, would my wife KILL me:).   Skip
#1420 of 1474 No incentives on Avalons? by iamknott Jan 05, 2009 (11:42 am)
I have noticed recently that the Toyota dealers in Central Ohio are running big newspaper ads listing discounts and/or low-rate financing on every model except Avalons. Does anyone have any thoughts on why? I assume that their inventories of unsold Avalons are low. Is this because the Avalons are selling well or because Toyota doesn't make many of them in the first place? I'd do the research myself, but I don't have access to production or sales figures by model. Replies to this message: DeLaLump (Jan 05, 2009 8:43 pm)
