Normally, I would agree that there would be no discounting on new models but Toyota sales are down from last year by double digits, unemployment is at 16 year high. I don't see lines forming to buy any new models.

I sure hope you are right when I go to turn in my Highlander next spring. I will seriously go recently used if I can't get a REALLY sharp price on a vehicle like this.

My wife and I purchased our Venza tonight. Blizzard White with Prem 2 for $36K. Great buying experience at James Toyota in NJ.

From Toyota's site, you cannot buy a base Venza V6. To get the V6, Toyota requires you to also purchase one of three option packages which start at $4050.00. Does Toyota really want to sell the V6 version?

Price: not knowing exact options/accessories $36k looks like MSRP. If this is true, how much negotiating happened? With this economy, both dealers and auto mfg's are over a barrel. Sales are down double digits even for Toyota and Honda. Dealers are going bankrupt. Honda just pulled out of Formula One Racing due to auto sales. I think a a below MSRP deal is possible even with a new car like the Venza. Besides, there many other cars in the $36k range.

It is approximately $2,200 off of MSRP. It is model number 2822 + LX, PC, NV, & SR. Unfortunately Toyota doesnt have any lease programs on the Venza's so the money factor converts to an interest rate of about 6.9%. While my intent was not to buy, I figured with a 5.1% loan and as long as the down payment is doable, I decided to buy instead. We also get the 1/4 point deduction coming off of a current Toyota Financial loan (encore ?)
It is a tough decision on paper, you can get a Highlander that MSRP's for 5K more for the same "price" since they are being discounted. However, the two vehicles drive and handle so differently and we couldnt go back to the Highlander once we drove the Venza. Now we wait for delivery....

"Unfortunately Toyota doesnt have any lease programs on the Venza's so the money factor converts to an interest rate of about 6.9%."
Could you please explain what you meant by the above sentence while Toyota has an option on their Venza website for leases? Thanks.
