you have me confused with someone else..i believe another poster bought one somewhere outside of Pittsburgh..and got a decent deal...There are exceptions to every "rule" and "deal". A colleague, who lives outside Philly could not find, let alone get a deal on a Limited AWD Sienna. He found one at a dealer in the middle of the state, got a good deal and picked it up yesterday. Again, as i stated, the high exposure dealers have no incentive to unload the cars at discount, as they get the floor traffic and exposure to eventually sell the product at their price. In many cases, the smaller dealers prefer to sell Camrys and Corollas, and see floorplanning a $32k specialty car as a liability they prefer not to take, as a result, they sometimes are more likely to take a shorter deal to roll the unit.
#62 of 286 Solara in Akron, Ohio by mikebb278 May 01, 2004 (3:15 am)
Just bought a new 04 Solara SE Sport V6 in Akron, Ohio from Ganley Toyota. The dealer was awesome, 1 hour 45 minuets to complete the entire deal (of coarse it was the last day of the month, and I walked in at 4PM and they close at 6.) They were very professional, their initial offer was $2200 off MSRP. The only hitch is that they had to dealer trade for the car from Cleveland, Ohio. Will be picking up later today. Total paid was $23244+tax+title+doc fee, that is base V6 with CD changer, Sport Package, sunroof, and floor mats. If you are anywhere in NE Ohio, go check out Ganley and ask for Tim Barnes! Good Day All!
#63 of 286 Option of dealer locating my desired car by ccinnova May 02, 2004 (5:35 am)
I spoke to a dealer in Northern Virginia about finding the exact car I wanted from other dealerships. He said he could not do this. Is this true? From reading previous messages, it looks like it does happen.   Makes me wonder if he wasn't trying to "push" me to buy what he had on the lot (cars with navigation).

#65 of 286 Fair price for used 2004 Solara? by ahkim May 24, 2004 (8:03 pm)
Hi, I'm going to buy a Solara and I found a new 04 SLE loaded for about $25,400 with low financing. I also found the exact same car used with 10,000 miles and some minor rear bumper damage for $25,000. Obviously the new one is a better deal, but what would be a fair offer for the used? They actually started at $28,000, which is crazy. Thanks.

I got my SLE convertible (Cosmic Blue with ivory interior) today. The only option that I got was the floor mats. My out the door price was $28,424 (includes $3,200 for trade-in of my Celica). I got $500 off MSRP and no documentation fees.   I bought my Solara at Toyota of Hollywood which is located in Hollywood, FL. The entire deal was with the internet salesperson and I really enjoyed buying the car this way.
#69 of 286 2005 Solara SLE Convertible by lbrown Oct 19, 2004 (1:36 pm)
Working on purchasing a 2005 Solara SLE and trying to understand my negotiation room. Reading through all these discussions, I now understand that the Invoice price actually includes Dealer's profit and that I should negotiate from the Invoice Price , not the MSRP. Two questions: 1- After the Holdback price substracted from the Invoice price, is the dealer still making some profit when he sells the car at a invoice price? 2- I would like to add some option to the car. Options also have their Invoice and MSRPs. Is it fair to ask for Retail price of all options?   In summary, here is the price I want to pay the dealers: Base invoice price+destination charge-Holdback+Options with "Invoice prices"   Is this realistic?   thanks Replies to this message: kirstie_h (Oct 20, 2004 5:06 am) lbrown (Oct 20, 2004 3:43 pm) reeldancer (Nov 09, 2004 4:00 am) leahnj (Nov 05, 2004 1:23 pm)

Replying to: lbrown (Oct 19, 2004 1:36 pm) If you do a search here on the keyword "holdback," you'll find some archived discussions about how it's implemented. Basically, unless you know what the original holdback amount is, and how it diminishes over time, you won't be able to come up with a current, accurate figure.   Second, dealers are generally reluctant to give you any of their holdback. That's meant to help cover their operating expenses, and isn't usually part of negotiations. As a consumer, you can, of course, offer any price you like. However, be prepared to have any offer that includes holdback as part of your "discount" rejected.   kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host Replies to this message: lbrown (Oct 20, 2004 3:43 pm) reeldancer (Nov 09, 2004 4:00 am)
