my Venza experience with lustinetoyota.com by normvenza09

Bought a V6 FWD with Convenient Package and Premium Package 2 for around $33,800. Excellent service before and after buying the car.

They got this Auto4Life program as standard

Drove the Venza from Washington DC to Chesapeake VA and back. Caught in the middle of a snowstorm on the way back. No need for AWD, FWD handled the snow very well.
 
I read about the stiffness in suspension. I don't feel it at all. Car got Michelin tires. Get the Voice Activated Navigation. Great sound system. Overall, it it a great car. Got people along the road giving me thumbs up!

Bottom line--very pleased. I went cheap. V-6 in blizzard pearl, conv package and bumper protector, wheel locks, all weather mats, cargo net, splash guards and front window tint and mat package. MSRP was $30,450. Paid $27,500.
 
I drove a 4 cyl highlander to test the engine. The 4 is powerful but not refined after driving the V-6. So no 4 cyl venza coming my way..
My guess is that real world gas savings will be 1-2 despite EPA estimates. We got 27.7 mpg on 100 mile trip home at 68 mph or so. Regular gas is a plus.
 
Was surprise satellite radio standard even on non navi and non JBL model. Nice surprise.

Awesome mileage for a brand new, not-yet-broken-in, 3800lb vehicle! With winter gas!
 
Congrats. I may get the V-6 as well if the mileage spread is this small. What I'm really curious about is if the V-6 may even get better mileage than the I-4 at higher speeds like 75 (or even 80).

Exactly, the 4 has to work hard with less mass but economy may be close at 70 mph. Around town it would be better but in the highlander is was rowdy power.
Anything over 2.0 in the inline four is going to vibrate like crazy. Hence balance shafts which actually are power suckers.
 
Consumer reports noted how the V-6 vs the inline 4 was so close on the RAV4 that if you have $1600 buy the V-6.
 
Maybe Venza four will be civilized better...

End of month deals are the best time. I bought from Fletcher in Joplin, MO.
Only had two in stock and mine was the first one sold. from my dealings, I think reliable toyota in springfield, MO has more inventory and same pricing.
 
I would never buy in OK due to gulf states add ons..

Hi Folks - If you haven't committed to a dealer yet, check out ebay QUICK! Search "Venza", there is a USED 2822 (AWD) Silver, Prem Pack #2, Nav, Pano Roof, Tow Prep, Mats, i.e. pretty well loaded out with 800 miles and a "Buy it Now" price of $32,499. This is a DEAL!!
 
Because it's used there wouldn't be the normal dealer up charges, i.e., TTL and Prep fees, $32,499 would be it. MSRP was $38,444, that's a savings of $5,945 off MSRP and NO TTL and Prep fees. If I hadn't already bought one 2 weeks ago, I'd be on this one like a Duck on a June Bug even if I had to make a trip to NJ.
 
If anyone buys it please post to the forum.
Thanks, Gabill

I saw that on ebay and thought about it. This could be a great deal but I was way too far away in OK. why buy new?

You could fly to NJ for around $200 +/- one-way. Make a mini vacation out of driving it back. After all you are saving roughly $8,000 to $9,000 once you include taxes, title and dealer prep fees you would have to pay if bought local.
 
Go for it!
