My wife and I purchased a Venza earlier tonight. We bought a V6 AWD Magnetic Gray Metallic fully loaded minus the rear entertainment center. The MSRP was $38,444 and we paid $35,288 (plus title and registration. no tax paid, since we had a trade). Only had it for an evening, but will write a review over the weekend. We really love it! |

Replying to: wstevec (Dec 06, 2008 7:28 am) We are interested in the AWD though and have heard from one Bay Area dealer that the his allocation of AWD isn't going to get here until January. Wondering if they are allocating the AWD models to areas with winters that really need it. Any insight from someone more knowledgable? If we saw an AWD model here that would likely be the difference for us.

Bought a bronze V6 AWD (loaded) from Rhinelander (WI) Toyota this PM. Made all arrangements over the phone. They consider themselves a no commission (best price) dealer. MSRP: 38,444. final price: 34,714 (first car on the lot). If they needed to do a trade with another dealer in the 5 state region for a different color it would have been 34,976. If it is bronze + ivory zipping down the road in the snow and the ice, it's us. If we don't like the color in person, we can substitute for a bit more money (262.00). The MKE, WI dealer wouldn't come down a dime below 38,525, the 'MSRP' on the car. His loss. Went in with the 'best price' quote in hand asking for a match - he couldn't believe it. Felt real good about the deal. Donating 'old blue' (formerly known as our trade in) to Rawhide. What can an '87 Camry LE really be worth anyway? Tax deductions are good. |

Replying to: wstevec (Dec 07, 2008 8:14 am) For you, being in Mass, would you consider going to MD to save a few bucks? Go to carmax.com to find their Toyota dealer closest to you. Wouldn't hurt to try. Or start calling around and ask for 'best price' or 'no commission' dealers. Sometimes friends or local bankers know ones closer. Maybe even calling my Toyota dealer or Carmax will get you into the info loop as there probably is a secret society of this type of dealers. Dealers shunned by high cost dealers probably need to stick together. Good luck!
