Finally Picked Up My Venza I4 by sns1

Ordered my Venza on March 16 in St. Louis, MO., came in May 8th. What an ordeal it was, I was trading in an 07 Camry Hybrid which was hit by a 16 year old in a Starbucks parking lot the morning of the 8th. Two hours after she hit me, I got a call that my Venza was in-what a nightmare. A week later the dealer took the hybrid as is and the insurance check.
I LOVE my Venza! It is the best car I have owned!
 
Black
I4
AWD
Leather
Panoramic Roof
JBL
Convenience Pkg
MSRP $34,500
Paid $31,300
APR 7% (Not as good as the Camry, but I added a year which made it jump up from 6.4%) Can be paid off ahead without any penalty.
 
FYI- the I4 has a lot of pep and I don't think the noise is that bad (all cars sound a bit loud after you own a hybrid).

Test drove i4 by toyotaslast

I just test drove the i4, and im a little surprized after reading some reviews, that this was an excellent experince. It was smooth and very powerful for a i4. The engine noise was what i would say normal. I will be getting mine soon, i can't wait. I'm looking to get about 10% off the MSRP, is that about right?

The best way is to compare apples to apples and OTD price.

Does anyone have a sense of dealers willing to deal more on the 4 cyl now that it's been out a while ?

I am being offered a Venza with 3000 miles on it for the same price of a new one $31,500. The most they would take off of the price is 300....10 cents a mile! Does this sound like a good deal? New Orleans, LA

I put a deposit on a new Venza but lo and behold when the car was set for delivery I was notified that it had 3,000 miles on it and they would only go down $300 for the demo that I was set to buy. Does that sound fair to you?

Dixiejill,
The current Federal Tax deduction on milage is $.50 per mile.
I would accept nothing LESS than that deduction FROM the best price you had negotiated for a NEW version.
I would offer $2000 less than your negotiated price as you are offering to buy, in effect, a USED Venza, albeit, slightly so.
Also, keep in mind that I'll bet that this auto was not properly "broken in" if it was a demo, with lotso "lets see what'll do" on many freeway on-ramps...
Cautious is how I would proceed.
Best of Luck.

The tax deduction is supposed to encompass all costs of driving the car.. Depreciation, finance, fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc.. If that is the discount you want for demo mileage, then you might as well give it up, as that will never happen..
 
Heck... if that were the case, I'd look for a demo with 50K miles... At $0.50 per mile, I'd get the car for free!
 
When you lease a car, the penalty for going over your mileage allowance is usually $0.15-$0.20 per mile... You'll do well to get that. If that isn't enough, then a demo probably isn't for you. (It usually doesn't work for me, either.. )
 
regards,
kyfdx

Rather than worrying about the deduction rate of mileage, I would be way more concerned that you put a deposit down on what should be a new vehicle. Isn't that the real issue here?
 
Or is your dealer trying to offer you a lower-cost alternative to the new Venza that you were going to purchase? In that case, it's totally up to you to decide what's fair. Imagine you were trading in a Venza with 3,000 miles -- I can guarantee that the dealer would consider it a used vehicle with much more than $300 worth of depreciation.
