Hello, To be honest, I've been holding off buying a Toyota because I've heard so much stories about horrifying salesmen at Colonial Toyota in Milford, CT and the non haggle pricing of some dealerships(they include lifetime tires, oil changes,etc). I really love the Venza, but getting the best price is so much hassle and the internet sales managers were not willing to negotiate. They quoted me $4450 above Edmunds price and when I told him, he said he doesn't know how I got that figure and Edmunds don't even sell cars. I wonder if Toyota Corp. knows that they are loosing some customers because of their dealerships. How much did you pay for yours? Edmunds TMV: $27,750 (Dealer $32200) Navigation System CQ Convenience Package SA Security Package

Let me ask you this: what do you think needs to be done to address what's happening? Do you think Toyota should step in and buy out their distributors? Do you think the government should step in to protect the consumers, like they did with the Monroney Act?

I am looking for Venza V6 AWD with LX, NV, PC, SR, TO in Blizzard Pearl/gray leather, the best quote I can get in bay area is $35100 ($500 over invoice, $3594 off MSRP) including carpet set, cargo net, and rear bumper protector, but since this combination is out of stock in whole bay area and need to wait for 1.5 months to get the car. Do you think is it a good deal? I can find the car in LA area, but don't know if it worth to fly to LA to get the car or not. Can anyone let me know your best deal in LA area? Then I can have the rough idea how to make offer to LA dealership. Usually, people can get around 1K cheaper from LA area than bay area, but don't know how Venza will be due to not a lot of inventory in CA currently. It's hard to negotiate with dealership now. Need your kindly advise. Thanks. |

A savings of a few thousand dollars will make me travel some distance and still put money in my pocket, but each his or her own...good luck keep trying different places and I hope you succed.. |

The dealer located a Venza we wanted but it doesn't have the JBL audio system which I would have liked. Its in the building stage and was told adding it would be tough and might delay it even longer (scheduled to be completed July 27th) so I guess I'm stuck with the standard audio. I'm not too savy when it comes to car stereo things but is there any aftermarket system that may sound similar to the JBL or is it even worth trying to upgrade?

Replying to: lisa4labz (Jul 07, 2009 7:17 pm) If I were in a similar situation (and you may have a huge reason to get the car sooner than later), I'd strongly consider delaying it to get the car that I really want. After I listened to the JBL (and also because I wanted Bluetooth), I kept it on my list of options that I wanted (moonroof was a 'nice-to-have' -- and I ultimately didn't get it). With the right amount of money, you could have an after-market system way better than the JBL. But, if you're like me, you probably just want something better than the stock system. |

I'm seriously considering the purchase of a new Toyota Venza, leaving behind my -05 Nissan Murano. The Venza styling and price look really good - at least on "paper". Any advice, other than caution negotiating with a dealership? What about the car itself?

Replying to: emjay1 (Jul 08, 2009 10:30 am) I am doing the exact same deal. 05 Murano for Venza. I hope folks respond. I am almost ready to go. What makes you want the Venza? I would choose Toyota over Nissan any day. Gone are the Nissan/Datsun days of high quality. While the Venza nor Toyata are flawless, my 11-year-old Corolla is still running just fine.
