No biggie, if it makes you feel better the 3.3l has been a solid, reliable work horse and was already plenty adequate in terms of power.
So far so good for the 3.5l as well.
Toyota had sludge issues with the 3.0l 1MZ, but our engines are unaffected.

Ok,I'm looking for a Sienna LE with atleast one power sliding door and overhead info system. With this being beginning Nov 2007, would I be foolish to buy a used 2007 with low milage (under 9K)? The dealer is asking 24,990 (I haven't talked with him so that's the price on the window). It has an after market DVD player (I could care less about this honestly), says it's got the LE Pkg #2.
If this sounds like a good deal to you (the 2007 over a new 2008) what would you offer??? I need all the help I can get!
(PS: I'm in the chicagoland area)

For the 2007 models you want an LE package 3. I paid a little over $25k for mine back in May, $26.8k out the door with 5% MD tax.
For 2008 it is indeed an LE EVP2.
The 2007 has a rebate, if you can still find any left. That plus the tow prep package was standard. They actually de-contented a little for 2008 to get prices down a bit.

Notice the Odyssey 2nd row seats have ARMRESTS for the outer seats when the middle seat is not used. (They can not be used when the middle seat is used.)
The Sienna 8 passenger 2nd row seats have NO ARMRESTS. We got the 7 passenger Sienna because the 8 passenger 2nd row seats have NO Armrests. The middle seat of the Odyssey 2nd row is MORE comfortable for me than the middle seat of the Sienna.

NEVER buy an "almost new" Sienna from a dealership.
Try to find an unhappy owner of an "almost new" Sienna who would gladly sell the almost new Sienna for the Private Party price....which is much lower than dealer retail.

Good advice, IMHO.
