Replying to: stasevich (May 19, 2006 3:16 pm) $30,700 is a decent price, but not rock-bottom for an end of year deal. You should be able to knock $400-500 off that if you bargain hard. Even if they sell the car at invoice they make 2-3% of MSRP on the deal (holdback). If it were me I would offer invoice and be ready to walk, unless the car is a hard to find color that you have your heart set on. There is still plenty of 06 inventory around. Below $30K is not realistic though. |

Whats the best price anyone has paid in chicagoland, IN or WI for a base 06 XL Avalon, in Blizzard Pearl. So far the best I have got is 24998 + Tax + Title + plates. Also does paying cash help get the price down any ? Thx |

I need to special order a new Avalon Limited due to the color and option combinations that I want. None exist (that I know of) in present inventory. Specifically, I want the built-in headrest DVD system with wireless headphones, along with a bunch of other options. There don't seem to be many on the market in the color and options that I want. It looks like the going price right now is about invoice to about $1,000 above invoice for existing inventory. Do these numbers hold true for special orders, or can I expect to pay more than invoice to invoice plus about $1,000 for a special order model? I would like to order one this week. I'm in no hurry and expect to wait several months for the exact model equipped like I want to be built.

Replying to: tpalmer1 (May 22, 2006 1:27 pm) Then there's the issue of Toyota and special orders. As I understand it, if the configuration you want corresponds to what your Toyota region has decided to inventory, then you're OK. A dealer will put your name on one, or locate one at a nearby dealer. As to a special order, as in a configuration not normally inventoried in your region, good luck. Toyota's advertising slogan will never be: "Have it your way." If you play around with Toyota's "Build Your Toyota" feature at their website, and try different regions, you'll see what I mean. Not all options listed for the various models are available everywhere, as their disclaimer makes clear. |

| In the market to buy a 2006 Avalon. Anyone know of any incentives coming up like a Toyota-thon? Trying to figure out when to buy to get the best deal. | |

Replying to: sunny_8 (May 22, 2006 7:22 am) Paying cash rarely gets you a better deal. In fact, sometimes manufacturers offer incentives to the dealer when the customer uses the manufacturer's captive financing, meaning you can negotiate a better price if you finance than if you pay cash (that is not currently the case with Avalon) |

| 1) Can anyone comment on their experience submitting claims under one of Toyota's "Extra Care" extended warranty plans? Are claims routinely refused by Toyota if owners fail to demonstrate that they have done EVERY single periodic maintenance/inspection item called for in the original factory warranty, and are continuing to do ALL recommended maintenance items after the original warranty ends? 2) From reading Toyota Financial's web info about these plans, I understand that a car owner has up until the expiration of the original 3yr/36,000 mile factory warranty to purchase an extended "Extra Care" plan from Toyota. If so, I'm wondering why many of the buyers who post messages here apparently have been buying the extended warranty at the same time that they buy the car? Why not keep the money invested for 3 years and buy the extended warranty just before the factory warranty expires? Wouldn't this make more sense, and would also allow an owner to assess how often his/her car had been in the shop for warranty work under the original factory warranty? | |
