Shopping for Avalon Limited by treynard by dan41

It is not a bad target, but given the strong reviews the Avalon is receiving as well as the limited inventory, you may have to wait a while to negotiate a better deal on the Limited. Many dealerships in the Boston area seem to have very few or no Limited's in stock. Right now, the advantage seems to go to the dealerships because they seem to be able to sell the Limited's they have in stock and, in some cases, even future allocations. Good luck! Dan

Toyota is selling many more LTDs then they projected. They are selling LTDs 1 to 1.6 XLSs. Most dealers in the greater DC area are still at or close to MSRP. Although last night I saw where Fitzmall.com was showing about 1,800 under MSRP.

I got this quote yesterday but I needed more info so you folks could maybe help me out better. Here is what I got. A quote From Fleet Sales for a 05 Avalon Limited Base with added Dynamic cruise, Vehicle stability control, rear spoiler and floor mats for $33,988 + Tax and License and a $45. DMV doc fee. I said I just wanted the base Limited but he said ALL of the Limited's are coming in with the Dynamic cruise upgrade. This is N. Cal. Is this a good price or what can I say to do better?

Could someone comment on the type of deals they are getting on the 05 Limited in the Atlanta GA area?

Try talking to the internet sales manager at Marietta Toyota. He quoted a good price on the XLS and I noticed they have several Limited models in stock. His price may not be quite as low as other dealers, but he can leave off the documentation fee. That can save you $400-$500.

Price Paid - '05 Avalon Limited by jms132

My wife and I drove the 2005 Avalon Limited on Saturday, 3/19 and signed the purchase agreement. We have to wait two weeks for delivery. The dealership I went to, Toyota of Bedford, Ohio, is selling them at full MSRP through the sales department. I went through the internet department and they knock of $500. I was able to get them to knock $800 off and then we talked trade. I got them to bump my $2k trade (value at Edmunds) to $3k.
Bought:
2005 Avalon Limited, Titanium Metallic with Graphite interior, Mats, Laser Cruise and Vehicle Stability Control.
MSRP = $35,529, my price $34,729.
I feel I received a fair price for such a hot car. They have a demo only on the lot as people (such as myself) are buying up to two months out on the delivery cycle. They even limit your test drive to 15 minutes since so many people are lining up to drive it.

I too live in the midwest. I found a dealer willing to reduce the price on a xls. Many dealers I talked with were getting the sticker price. The pricing I quoted was 800.00 over invoice for the touring or 1000.00 over invoice for the XLS. I bought the XLS and now need to wait until it's made in mid April.
I noticed at all the dealers I visited, everyone had touring models and a 1 or two XL's but no Limited or XLS's? One last note, internet quotes are joke. Out of 6 dealers contacted only one would give me a quote and that was after I put money down on my new xls.

I completely agree. I requested about 8, NONE replied back with a quote, all requested that I call to make an appointment to come in and one actually sent me a nasty message about the unemotional and anonymous nature of internet quotes, trying to make me feel like a horrible person for wanting to shop around - uh, hello, why was there a link on their website for customers to request an internet quote then?

  Generalizations are often less than reliable (there's a generalization right there!). Fitzmall.com (i.e., their Toyota dealership in Gaithersburg, Maryland) gave prompt responses and serious, no-hassle quotes on a Limited to my internet inquiries. I was ready to finalize things and make a purchase (they're 200 miles from me), when at the last minute a local dealer matched their quote.
  On the other hand, my own personal experience with credit union "special deals" has been a joke. I could always seem to do better on my own or through some other approach, which makes the credit union deal you (dalcolli) got particularly impressive to me.
