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!

Sorry, but nobody, at least I myself, didn't say anything about a private discussion, but I was addressing someone else with my question, that's why I replied rather than posted a separate entry. No harm done in either case. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how these forums are supposed to work!
 
To your other comment, I consider the Murano very ugly. Actually, these days I'm more interested in the Hyundai Elantra Touring wagon/hatchback/whatever. It's very nice looking, outside of the awful color choices, and I hope to actually sit in one soon to see whether it sits too low for me or not.
 
Thanks for the advice, though.

Venza Seat Comfort - Question for Current Owners by md_outback

Hey Venza Owners,
I just completed a 30 minute test drive in a V6-AWD Venza and was quite impressed. I think my only concern is with driver seat comfort: It wasn't bad but it almost seemed like the seat cushion padding was kind of thin. I'm pretty slim myself without much "built-in" butt padding, so I would like to hear of your experiences when taking long trips - does the seat remain comfortable after a couple hours of driving? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Already made five 4 hours long trip from Washington DC to Virginia beach and back without discomfort. If you adjust the seats ergonomically like the height, the back, distance to the steering wheel and lumbar support, you should be fine.

I have 6,200 miles on my V-6 AWD with leater. Took one 1500 mile trip was really comfortable and still is. I only wish that it a/c seats like my wife's Avalon. I'm 6' 1" and 215.

Hey MD outback
 Are you use to driving a Caddie. There is nothing wrong with the cushion seating on the Venza. It is very comfortable and just as good as my wifers 06 Avalon Just returned from a 500 mile trip to the Florida Beaches and it was great .I have leather seating. Maybe it was the way you had the seats adjusted. I like mine to sit kind of low and back some. Try it again

No deepsouth, I currently drive a Lexus RX and the Venza's seat seems to have less padding. It was just a simple question requesting input from Venza owners, since I had only driven the Venza for 30 minutes.
