How long does it take once the car is built, before the dealer receives it? Mine went from Kentucky to the processing Center in Jacksonville so the options could be added this week.

I also got an email from Fitzmall yesterday and they gave me a price of $269 below invoice on a V6 FWD with Pkg #2 and Moonroof (in blue, red or green) = $30,534 for an order. The only thing they're balking on is my request for Michelin tires. They said I had to take whatever came with the car and I told them they could switch the tires out with another car or take more money off the price since the Goodyears don't last as long as the Michelins. Fitzmall told me I had to order because they didn't see anything coming in with my specs. I'm going to contact Carmax in Laurel MD, and check some dealers here.

When considering a Venza I checked extended warrantees online and found I could save lots by shopping around--try Bernardi Toyota-same in the past with Honda. I'm waiting to see if Honda is coming out with a vehicle to compete with overpriced Venza.

Brand New Venza in MD by prasadperi

Hello Folks,
Just purchased a brand new 2009 V6 AWD Venza from Darcars Toyota of Silver Spring for $33489 plus TTL. The MSRP was 37K odd and dealer claimed invoice was 33,889. It may not be a great deal but I am glad that my search is over. This car drives like a tank. Very study and stable. I liked the options inside and it is very easy to get in and out of the car. I was replacing a Lexus RX330 and this was a OK compromise as it was a little cheaper. The only thing I missed was the moon roof and seat memory. I did buy the extended warranty for 875 for 8 years and 100,000 miles. The finance guy offered me a platinum protection plan for 1600 and when I said I don;t want it he reduced the price to 875. Note I am sure you all will be able to negotiate this as well if needed.
 
I may have done better if I had searched and done my home work. But I needed to replace my car quick and I had actually not considered this car before seeing it in the show room.
Thanks
PSP

Venza hard ride by mtg2
Mar 01, 2009 (5:12 pm)

I've had my Venza for 4 days and I feel like I bought a truck because of the very stiff suspension. The model I test drove, before I special ordered one with Nav, was a softer ride. Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the independent suspension for a softer ride? I checked the tire pressure and they were set to spec. I don't understand how the test model could be a smooth ride and mine (exact model plus Nav) feels like a truck. The rest of the car is very sweet, and I was able to score $2700 off MSRP...which seemed o.k. for a new model.

Import from across the border by bbting

The Canadians were importing from the US when the dollars were at par. Given the exchange rate at > 1.25, I see a good reason from those who live close to the border to import from the north, especially when the Canadian MSRP is much more lower than the US. The fully loaded with NAV/JBL V6 AWD is only at less than CAD $40000. It works out to be only USD $32000. Just some thoughts for those who don't mind to put in some effort to get better deals.

Do you know if the one you test drove had a different brand of tires? V6 Venzas (I'm assuming you have a V6) come with either Goodyears or Michelins and that could be the difference. You also never know if the dealer's test vehicle's tires were inflated properly - if the test drive car's tires were under inflated, they may have produced a softer ride. I don't think you can do much to adjust the suspension settings; if it is really bad have the dealer check it out to make sure everything is working properly.
