Can you tell me what dealer you got this deal from? I am south of Boston, willing to travel to NH to get a car close to or cheaper than invoice. Just drove the Venza today and Loved it.

Already Frustrated! by katylin1

Now I remember why I hate to buy new cars! I'm already getting frustrated and I haven't even got to the negotiation part yet! Okay...
 
Advice needed. What am I not understanding about the car buying process?
 
I've read, research, test drove, read everythign I could in the forum etc...now I've sent out price quotes from internet sales YET it seems everyone wants to give me what I DON"T WANT! which of course adds to th price of the vehicle. I mean how hard is it? I know they need to get rid of inventory first, but if it doesn't have what I want why do they tell me they don't have...sounds like "we don't have ...too bad" attitude their giving me.
 
So question: I want 4cylinder, FWD, leather pkg, security, & towing prep
Is this something they can quote me on even if I have to wait for it from the factory? Or should I settle for inventory quote and then try to have them add it on later like the towing prep?
 
Anyone can help, I greatly appreciate it.

I am sorry to hear your story, but I fully understand your frustations...be prepared and be, must of all, PATIENT....yes you are right in all your observations, the dealers want to get rid of their inventories first since THAT is what they OWN. Remember that if anyone is willing to order a car the way you want you will wait probably more than 3 months (Toyota as well as other manufactures have shut down or grately reduced production). I had a similar expirience, I buit the car and sent out in the internet for dealers to call me or email me with prices...guess what?..yes they call and email but evryone wanted me to show at the dealer and "test drive" the car..in other words not one had what I wanted...similar yes..and not one discussed pricing at all.
Your best bet is to look at the dealers inventories in their websites and if you see something that you like and your price contact the internet sales people or manager and try to negotiate the best price this way, otherwise you will have to wait until the venza becomes more available and the dealer load up.
In northern NJ there is only 1 dealer with about 10 of them in stock..the others have eithe 1 or 2 and not what I like. Join any Venza group and you will see that those that order waited almost 3 to 4 months..besides if you order you are out of the "game" as far a being able to negotiate with other dealers if it happens that the car you like shows up...good luck and keep us posted...so we can learn also.

Thanks for the encouragement. I was torn between getting a Honda CR-V and the Toyota VEnza. The VEnza had more "oomph" obviously and was priced higher at the base model because the base model had already incorporated alot of the features I wanted except for 2 LITTLE things...the security pkg and towing prep pkg. The way they write in their e-mails I'm getting the impression that they can't add these two items at their dealership. I responded to an internet sales rep & asked him this question. Will wait to see what he says. If they won't work with me on what I want for the price, I guess I'll go with Honda which I still like very much.
 
Thanks again for your input. I was sooooo irritated that I wanted to be spiteful and say "ha ha...didn't buy from you" ...however, I still ended up not buying on me

Katylin1,good for you but please do compare bananas to bananas...comparing the CRV with the Venza is like comparing...well you know....CRV should be compared to the RAV4 and in this case the RAV4 has a V6 and the CRV is only 4 cyls.
The towing pakage is good since it gives you better radiator etc which are items that I consider of practcal value even if you do not trail anything...and the security package is also good since I think it also includes the rear camera vision when backing up...but then that is me...those items are not dealer insatalled...not even port installed, they are factory installed....what ever you decide to buy keep us posted I am interested in seeing how well you do...good luck,

Thanks for letting me know that SA & TO are factory installed. It explains alot. Well, I just found this website talking about the distributors of Toyotas at my area and it explains alot about how they are really gouging us around these parts.

I'm sure other car company have something similiar. Maybe I'll look at other states and see about the prices. I already checked out Fitzgerald Mall in MD and they're pricing them pretty nice, but again I haven't asked about what I wanted.
