The only complaint is interior color. The current colors easily show dirt and shoe scoffs. I would seriously consider the car if it came with a black interior.
 
At our local auto show a couple weeks ago, I noticed a lot of vehicles with all black interiors. It was across both ends of the spectrum -- compacts to luxury cars.
 
Personally, I like the contrasting light and dark interior of the Venza, especially the black carpet that matches the dash. I do agree, though -- the light colored surface is going to be fun to keep clean. This is my first car with leather, so I'll need to research what's recommended for leather care soon.

I went to the dealership March 16 (in Missouri), it took two tries (3 weeks) to get the order/request through. My Venza is scheduled to be built the week of May 4 and it will be 2-3 weeks later before it arrives at the dealership...oh the torture to wait so long (but it will be worth getting exactly what I wanted).
Hope that helps, Good luck!

Thanks for the info...
I suppose I'll have to push a little more on the dealer to get our venza closer to the "build" stage...
Best

I ordered my FWD V6 Venza and got about $3500 of MSRP. I'm also elegible for any incentives that come out when the car is delivered. It helped that I shopped around and talked to Fitzmall and Carmax so I was able to bring those prices to the table. Just got a note from my dealer that the car I ordered on March 13th will be built in early May and should arrive about the 3rd week of May. Yea!

I started with figuring out the car of our dreams and then used this site (Edmonds) and this site: http://www.carbuyingtips.com/ to help me come up with a true INVOICE price. I drove a few Venzas in the meantime trying to figure out which powertrain we wanted and then went and talked/negotiated with the dealer for price.
This is the post (#170) from the "prices paid" I made a few weeks ago:
"In the works soon...
A RED with grey leather, FWD V6, Premium #2, Pano Roof, JBL Audio, Mats and Bumper protector for $32,400.
From a very nice Kitsap County, WA dealer.
Now the wait!!
THIS will be the tough part.."
My thought (flawed??) is that a dealer would LOVE to SELL a car, on the lot or not AND if the car never sits on the lot, they never pay Toyota to "rent" it in the interim - sounds like profit to me...
Best of luck to you...

We just placed the following order,
4cyl, FWD plus,
JBL Premium Audio (EJ)
Convenience Package (CQ)
Security Package (SA)
Floor/Cargo Mats
 
Price was $26,500, plus $100 dealer fee, plus TTL
 
We were happy with this price especially for a built to order vehicle, although I am sure you can do better. We live in MD and so the Fitzmall prices set the mark in this area. Of course that means you get a good price but it also sets a floor for the price in this area, it is hard work to do much better. In the end the comparison to Fitzmall was $26127 for the same car without the Security package and Edmunds lists the Security package at $460 invoice and $570 MSRP. That puts us just above invoice on a built to order car, so we got a reasonable price and the car we wanted and the dealer gets their holdback plus a few bucks. Of course now we just have to wait!

The dealer in Missouri that I am working with pulled up the Edmunds TMV tool, looked what the TMV price was and said he would match it. It is above invoice, but about $2000 below MSRP. It may not be the best deal since I did not take a Venza off the lot, but I am happy with it. He also said that if any incentives came out while I was waiting to take delivery of the car, I would be eligible to take advantage of them. Same with my trade in, I am trading an 07' Camry Hybrid in, and he said if gas prices jump before the car is delivered and the value increases they will give me more on the trade too (the based the trade on Kelly Blue Book). Hope that helps!
