Yours sound like good advise, but about the sales person...well you can trust them as far as you can yhrow the...lol....little story about the "business"...recently I took my son to a Ford dealer (I knew the sale manager and owner for a while)..they located the car foe my son in NYC and were assured that the car will be in NJ (our dealer) on Monday am, my son even got the vin#..I told my son not get insurance card until the call him on Monday and confirm that the car was at the dealer here in NJ...but no...young people are impulsive so he went ahead an got the insurance card...guess what the car in NYC was sold by the dealer Saturday night and the car never arrived...so they went located another one in PA...that is how the business works....so I guess if I go to Fitz I will have to get used to the idea that the Venza could be sold right underneath me...and come home with my bank check and loose $50 fee and the time and gas to get there and back..
Good luck with your Venza...

Glad to see I popped up in a search . 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.

Thank you very much...you have been a great help in deciphering all the "misteries" about buying from Fitz AutoMall...I don't know if I will drive my other car there or take a plane...but the idea of renting a one way car sounds very good...I wonder if they have a rental company on premises also..that will make it perfect...
Thanks again..

You are quite welcome. It was about a three hour drive from Central Bucks County - not sure where you are at in Central Jersey. I rented the car locally and had notified the sales guy that we would need to drop it off. Went w/o a hitch.
Traffic around Gaithersburg at rush hour was just about what you would expect (nasty). Best bet is to leave right after the morning rush. Good Luck!

My Deal

I want to thank all those you have posted on this forums; I’ve been monitoring them and studying the Venza for the last 6 months. Here is the deal I finally made:
FWD V6
Premium Package #2
Navigation
Sun roof
Body molding
Carpet Set
Vehicle Shield Package
Golden Umber with Michelin tires
MSRP: $37,407
Paid: $33,500 + TTL
I too used fitzmall.com and Edmonds to research and negotiate the deal. I’m sure others may get better deals, but I’m comfortable with mine – and love the vehicle.
I purchased from Team Toyota in Baton Rouge, LA and worked with Steven Lobue; both were professional and willing to work with me. I’d recommend them to others.
Hope this information helps someone else.
Thanks!

good luck to you and enjoy your Venza....any deal that a person works out and he or she is happy with it is a GOOD DEAL.....but yours sound like a real good deal...
Much luck,,,
