We got rid of our 2004 Toyota Sienna Limited AWD and got a used 2007 Sienna XLE with package 6. We paid only $22,881 for it and it is fully loaded with only 20,805 miles. Awesome Deal  Love the new engine and gets way better gas mileage then our 04 AWD. I like the new opitron gauges a lot. Bluetooth is nice and the Dvd/Navigation is awesome!!!

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 1:03 pm)  By my estimate that about 13K off the MSRP of a similarly equipped 2009. Around here the dealers want that much for a 2007 LE with EVP1 and wouldn't budge even when I told them they were nuts and walked away.  If I could have found a deal like you did I would have bought used. As it is, after 2 months and 3Kmiles we are still quite pleased with our 2008 LE with EV2 and Audio upgrade. It is quiet and quick and gets excellent fuel economy. |

Check KBB. 08 Town&Country Touring's in my area are selling for $15-20K with under 30K miles. Our van also has wheel covers but they are going to switch them tomorrow hopefully. |

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 4:42 pm) A repo at auction with a missing second row explains something of the price though it sounds like they are giving you the seats with the price of the van. Still not a bad deal. I also noted that while Toyota and Honda dealers wanted more than $20K for relatively barebone 2007 vans, the 2007 Chryslers and Dodges could be had in the low teens. Our problem was that as much as we disliked the 2008 models, the 2007 and older were much worse. My wife felt especially glad of our choice a few weeks ago at a Las Madres activity when a Chrysler T&C (the only American brand vehicle there) wouldn't start and had to get towed. Scenes like that are exactly why the Big Three are losing their shirts and have to beg the Government for bailouts.

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 10:47 pm) DCX vans depreciate quite fast. When I shopped I found new vans for $22k and 1 year old vans for $15k, or about 32% depreciation hit the first year. And that's retail resale at $15k. Wholesale trade would probably be more like $12-13k. There's no way the residuals are better. ALG has the Sienna well ahead of the DCX vans, too. |

Replying to: hause7 (Sep 19, 2008 4:42 pm) wow, you are right that's an awesome deal that your grandma got for this baby. As you know I just bought the same one from toyota dealership at 5.4k more than what you paid for it. I'm so impressed. I'm now interested in the auto auction. How does it work? Did they have a base price before you place a bid. What're their fees associate with your winning bid? Does your bid include the license/registration and tax ??? We need a 2nd car, this might be where we 'd shop for it! I think you got the best deal on this limited compared to all peaple that I know whom own one of these. |

Replying to: hansienna (Jul 09, 2008 8:58 am) Transmission slips in drive Transmission indicator light (D4) flashes on and off Engines revs from 1-4000RPM without touching the gas pedal Traction Control System will not disengage. Chyrsler trans problem worse. Toyota is 6 dB quieter in cab, I will buy one next. There is a class action suit against Honda in Calif. over automatic transmissions.
