I like the exterior of the Venza but it is pricey and option pkgs are sky high.

I agree, option packages run the price up way high...

Not to try to sell you, but you can special order and get what you want, rather than the default option packages you get on the Toyota site when you try to build one which start at $4500. Use the build on the Edmunds site instead which lets you order what you want. If I get a Venza, I plan on going with the Comfort Package (LS) which gives you leather interior including steering wheel and shift knob, wood interior, heated mirrors (needed for New England) and windshield de-icer (whatever that is??) all for $2100 (list) and $1689 (invoice) which you should be able to get for some price in the middle or lower. FYI: special orders will take from 6 to 8 weeks. Just my $.02 worth.

Edmunds lists the Convenience Package as $860 MSRP. Toyota lists it as $1430. The Toyota site also lists it as the only option available on the FWD 4cyl.
 
Usually I see Edmunds display a nice array of options possibilities that don't really exist in reality.

I'm not aware Toyota, especially in certain regions offers special orders.
 
see post #240
 
But then again kdhspyder(a Toyota employee) said if your nice enough to him he can get you most anything!

Special Ordering by player4

Yea but i wonder of you could still get a deal when you pre-order your Venza, just like the same kind of deal you would get if you bought one off the lot.
Wish you could even go pick it up from the plant,heck the plant is only 1 hr and 30 mins away from me, might as well.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could avoid that big destination charge by picking it up at the plant?
 
I see now that the Toyota configurator does say to inquire about special ordering other combinations of options. I never consider ordering because I don't want to pay MSRP. I think buying from dealer inventory down the road saves you thousands. But if you're an early adopter and planning on paying MSRP anyway, why not order I guess?
 
I wish Honda had a SmartKey. Is it possible to get something like that aftermarket?

Sorry about that Mary, meant to list the "Comfort Package" code: LS

Yes, we can.
 
Actually there are some packages and some stand-alone extras. This discussion always occurs at the time of a new launch. Initially the first vehicles always ( from every vehicle maker ) are shipped with all the options. Then more basic units come a little later. Then as the buying preferences of the public become clearer the option packages and individual options become modified to match demand.
 
Since these are made in KY there is somewhat more flexibility.
 
I just went through our region's 'ride and drive' earlier this week. It included base model and loaded Venza's ( all V6's ), a Murano, a CX7 and an Edge. Initial impressions..
..the Venza is the biggest inside;
..the Murano is the quietest but it's not much on 'guts' due to the CVT, but the front cabin almost claustrophobic;
..the CX7 with the turbo I4 may be the 'bargain' but it also is lacking in 'guts' ..and room;
..the Edge will be the natural competitor volume-wise and price-wise.
 
PLUS:
The new Gen6 Navi is A LOT better than the previous iterations.
SKS is such a brilliant idea.
The leather in the Venza is nicer than that in the Camry and as nice but sportier than that in the Avalon.
There's tons of room for 'stuff' in the back along with Avalon-type room for the rear passengers.
The rear seating is shaped and feels like the front seating.
The front console is very smartly done, it's useful, ergonomic, and it looks good IMO.

I'm planning to give one of these a whirl when the time comes, but do you think there will be dealers out there who are willing to approach invoice on these autos? I know for our family it will be important to at least come close to that kind of price point in order for this to be a value.
