I'm interested in a Venza that has an MSRP of $38,526. I'm no professional at price haggling and I've read through some of the messages posted here, so I'm wondering how much I should be asking for.. 33k, 34k? 35? I configured the same Venza (loaded, no rear DVD entertainment system, but instead with the dual sunroofs) on Cars.com and the MSRP through them is pretty close, listed at $38,175. The estimated invoice listed by Cars.com is $33,630. Considering the actual MSRP of the one I'm looking at and the estimated MSRP of the one I configured on cars.com are close to each other, is the invoice on cars.com a good number to go by? I'm thinking I should be able to purchase the Venza for around $34.5k. For what it's worth, I have no trade in & I'd be putting $3k down. Any help is greatly appreciated. |

I ordered one yesterday. Loaded, everything except the sun roofs and rear DVD system- basically the LX package with a few 'port add-ons'. That apparently means stuff that can be slapped on at the dealership.... Anyway, I locked them down to a cash price of $33,500. Maybe its because I'm paying cash, dunno, but two dealers in south Louisiana got down that low; the other two made offers of 37.5 and 35.5 respectively. There is a high level of interest in the Venza down here; I went to four different dealerships yesteday, and had to wait in line to have a close look. Mainly tire-kickers, though; one woman in particular who was a ROYAL PITA, and seemed to follow me from dealer to dealer. I couldn't do that job. Anyway, the sales folks seemed gratified to be dealing with a serious buyer. Are there any other forums on this car? I don't relish the thought of plowing through 500+ posts...

Replying to: LSP972 (Jan 18, 2009 10:51 am)  There's eleven Venza discussions here (so far). How much plowing are you looking to do? In this market, any buyer is welcome. Cash doesn't talk so loudly any more and some dealers actually prefer financing, since if they can handle the financing, they'll get a bit of profit off of that transaction. If you order a car from the factory, then you should ask for the holdback to come off the purchase price, since the dealer won't have to pay any interest on the car while it sits around the lot. Holdback on a Toyota is 2% of the base MSRP. (Except in a few southern states, but not in Louisiana.) I think port options are usually added at the port of entry. Dealers do add a lot of stuff too, and their add-ons will be covered by the manufacturer warranty. Enjoy the new ride - anticipation is half the fun.

Replying to: boomdude (Jan 18, 2009 11:11 am)  $17.95. You have one on the shelf and one being built. A lot of people have looked at the one on the shelf. A serious buyer calls and says 'I'll take it off your hands at $13.' Do you take him up on the offer? There's the answer to your email. |

Replying to: kdhspyder (Jan 18, 2009 12:18 pm) If someone else offers a dealer $34,000 and the dealer agrees to sell it for that amount, then I'm not sure where the problem is?

Replying to: macpro (Jan 18, 2009 1:05 pm) It's 2009, the Web is what it is and sales happen in all amounts, mediums and have been for quite a while. If dealers don't want to give people the ability to make true offers or request quotes on a car, don't make that functionality available in the first place. I gave them my contact information & said I'd be interested in buying within a week if the numbers are good. So you got it for just over 35k? That's a real good price given the MSRP. Between your price & LSP972's information (on page 26 of this thread) and everyone else's I've read, I'm starting to get a better feel for a range I should be shooting for. Thank you!
