Replying to: kcflyer (Jan 20, 2009 1:38 pm) Are you sure you weren't looking at the dealer's own "adjusted market value" sticker? My Toyota dealer doesn't even bother insulting everyone's intelligence by using one of those stickers. Without NAV but with JBL, moonroof, Premium Package #2, AWD, you should be in the $36-37K range, and that's MSRP. You can cross-shop any vehicle with any other vehicle (I went to look at an Infiniti G37 sedan; that's definitely different than the Venza). I'd agree that compared to the Forrester, CRV, or RAV4, the Venza can be much more expensive. Does that mean it's overpriced? I don't think so. The Venza is larger than all three (10" longer than a Forrester, for example). It's packaged and targeted for a different target audience (there's no true "base" model with steel rims like the CRV, for example). There is overlap -- I didn't realize that a top-of-the-line Forrester has an MSRP of $28K. The top CRV starts at $27K. Is a top of the line RAV-4 better than a base Venza? That can only be decided by the buyer. A better pricing comparison would be with the Nissan Murano and Ford Edge. Both have a similar pricing range and are similar in size. A fully optioned Murano LE tops $40K, MSRP.

Replying to: kcflyer (Jan 21, 2009 10:12 am)  But if your price point is under $30K, then you'll need to wait for 4 cyl Venzas or look elsewhere. As far as value is concerned, when it comes right down to it, the way most people drive (one person in the vehicle with limited cargo), shouldn't we all be driving Honda Fits or Nissan Versas (or Ford Rangers with 4-cyl if you have a business need)? But we don't because each of us has personal preferrences that we may be willing to pay extra for. And for everyone who thinks the Venza is overpriced compared to a RAV4 or a Matrix, there is someone else who thinks it is a bargain compared with a Buick Enclave, an Audi A6 Avant or a Volvo XC70. That's the beauty of a marketplace full of choices.

Whats the rush? Wait a couple of months and get the car you want for a few thousand cheaper.. Geeze they have hardly delivered the first limited batch of cars. Plus once everyone realizes that Obama doesn't have magic powers and that this whole economy thing is going to take some serious work and time to get going - you'll be able to find the car you want for MSRP or less. By the way I haven't paid MSRP for any car - never - nada. And neither should you. Cool the jets and just wait a little besides its a Toyota they'll make a million of them its not like your shopping for a one of a kind car. |
