Two different cars and there is a difference in their options. Let me know which you think is the better deal. Color (Black), 4 cyl., FWD. Option A- Has tan cloth seats that are going to have leather put on them after market. The car has the comfort and covenience package. I believe with this option, because the leather is after market the front passenger seat is not power or heated. MSRP is 28,944, leather, taxes, title, doc fee, processing take price to 30343. Offered to us out the door at 28000. Option B- Same vehicle except leather comes with this so passenger seat is power and heated. MSRP is 30039. Dealer claimed to give invoice pricing of 27318, then add doc fee of 250 title 25.50 and tax of 2136.52 giving an OTD price of 29730.02. Are these good deals? Which one would you pick? We negotiated with A pretty heavily. B we didn't really negotiate too much with. Any help would be appreciated. |

Replying to: qs933 (Jun 04, 2009 10:43 pm) I recently looked at brand new (10 miles) left over 2008 loaded Avalon in the showroom where the dealer wanted the same money for it as a new 2009. They claim they simply can't sell it for under invoice. Their strategy has been (and remains) to wait for some sucker and uninformed buyer. I said it should be selling for at least 10% under what a comparable 2009 would sell for. They laughed.

My advise, stay away from demos since those vehicles will be an unknown and the savings are minimal at best.You will be buying a used car. Good luck to you...and enjoy a new Venza.. |

Hi, I am planning to test drive the Venza V6 tonight. I live in Edison NJ and I am interested to know if any one bought a Venza from nearby dealers and the final price you paid ? I can use it as a bargain if you can give me the dealership details. Thank you in advance. Right now I am leaning towards FWD 3.5L 6cyl 6A with the following options LS,CQ,EJ. The invoice price is coming for around 28,956 and TMV is around 29,815. Which price I should start my bargain ? Last time I am in the market for car is in 2000. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

They are currently offering similar Venzas for $200-$300 BELOW invoice. If your local dealer won't get close to the fitzmall price, it's only a 3½ hour drive to Maryland. You can pick up your new Venza and visit Washington DC while you are in the area. Then you'll have a nice drive back up I-95 in your new car. Good luck. MD

Replying to: svofan2 (Jun 11, 2009 5:13 am) I agree, there is some risk dealing with an out-of-state dealer via Internet or phone. So I would get a definitive contract in writing, including pricing, VIN number, etc. before traveling to fitzmall or any other dealer. I think if you actually speak to the salesperson and develop somewhat of a relationship with them, they are not likely to play games with you. I did a search on this forum and found several folks used fitzmall for their Venza purchase: their usernames are "jimmy2x" "sealbeach_la" and "prasadperi." Maybe they can give you some direct advice. I would have purchased my Venza from fitzmall, but they didn't have my exact car (color and options) in stock and another dealer did and they also met the fitzmall price. MD

Replying to: md_outback (Jun 11, 2009 9:04 am)  . I live in PA and bought my 4Runner from Fitzmall in Gaithersburg. We communicated via phone, e-mail, and fax. There was no BS (except for agreeing that I would listen to the extended warranty, rust, dust, mop & glo stuff for a max of 10 minutes). They had exactly the vehicle that I wanted and it was precisely as advertised. I saved about $1700 over the best price I could get in the Bucks County area including the one-way rental to MD. BTW, I gave them a deposit via VISA over the phone (don't remember how much, but no more than $300) to avoid the car being sold out from under me. Easiest buy I ever did.
