I see people discussing rebates on Hondas but Edmund just shows manufacturer's incentives with no detail. I am currently talking to a dealer about an 09 Odyssey and he claims they have $2000 available in rebates. TIA. |

You can't change the past, so just shop for the current options, and pick the better current value today. What are your prices on the EX-L and XLE? The XLE has a power lift gate, which is nice, plus a trip computer. The XLE also comes with front and rear obstacle detection and memory for the driver's seat and mirrors, automatic climate control for the rear. A lot of that stuff only comes on the Ody Touring. The Ody has the sunroof and the 7+1 seating, which the Sienna lacks (8 passenger models only come in CE and LE). You can add EVP2 to the Toyota to get a moonroof and then you get some bonus sunshades. You decide which features matter more to you. The seating was a biggie for me, so I got a Sienna LE 8 passenger, because XLE only seats 7. If that's enough, it does have a lot more content. I felt the cloth was nice, but I did give up the power lift gate, and I do wish I had one. If you need 8 seats, go for the Ody. You can't combine leather and 8 seats in the Sienna. Good luck, let us know what prices you're quoted.

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 14, 2009 8:42 am) I am getting DVD, JBL and much better inside look in Sienna XLE at the same price w.r.t EXL. It does not have the backup camera, but it's compensated with front & rear park assist. Moonroof does comes with XLE, part of package. But you are not correct about memory for the driver's seat and mirrors. That's not available in XLE or part of any of it's package. It's only available in Limited version. I also found that many Toyota dealers are dishonest, at least in my area, they just want you to be at their dealership and then they play games with numbers and finance options. I walked out from couple of dealers just for this reason, otherwise, I may had a van by now already. I have much better experience with Honda dealers.

Replying to: madams1 (Sep 14, 2009 12:02 pm) My LE has power sliders on both side, and I agree with it being a key feature. You only have to step up to the XLE if you want a power liftgate. To match that on the Ody you'll need a Touring.

Replying to: hot2004 (Sep 14, 2009 8:46 pm) I stand corrected... My latest brochure is for the 2008 model year and even then Toyota makes mistakes in their brochures. The 2007 brochure says my LE pkg 3 doesn't have a power seat, but mine sure does! The packages confuse even Toyota's brochure design staff.  The fuel tank capacity is also wrong (brochure says 20.0 gallons, owner's manual says 21.0 gallons). I believe it's 21 gallons because people have told me they've topped off near empty tanks with more than 20 gallons. I shopped mine using no-haggle prices on web site and e-Quotes. Locally, fitzmall.com and Carmax Toyota in Laurel, MD, put their prices up front. Then I got an e-quote from 355 Toyota DARCARS. They had the lowest price. To hedge my bets even further, I asked DARCARS to add fees and taxes to the bottom line and give me an exact amount for the total, so I could bring a Cashier's Check. They matched my price to the penny!
