Replying to: laurie77479 (Jul 16, 2009 5:19 am) When Venza first came out, we were able to "build" our own Venza. I did not want nor desire a lot of extra's. I took the print out to the dealer and said "THIS IS WHAT I WANT", they pooh-poohed me and said I had to have this or that. Well, I said I would go elsewhere, and they finally took my order. I have a basic black, fabric seat (did not want leather have dogs), moonroof, and satallite radio..the end! I did not want a GPS (I have one), I did not want mats (they threw them in), I did not want a camera (wish I did at times). The order went in in Feb. I did not get the car until May - the company seemed to have been pushing this special order to the side, somehow, they could not comprehend..when a customer doesn't want something, the assembly goes to the next person in line...hard concept! I was told the Designers in Japan couldn't comprehend, but, the car is built over here!! What is worth having is worth waiting for...just remember, YOU, the consumer has the say in what YOU want. Don't be bamboozled. Good luck, the car is a dream!! |

In my opinion best bet is to shop around until you get your price or as close as posible within reason, by doing that you preserve the "full power" of the buyer. But to each its own, this worked for you and you did not mind the 3 months wait. I will be buying a Venza soon but I will never lock myself into a 3 month wait at the mercy of the dealers and their different tactics (ie: someone willing to pay more for ordered vehicle than you gets it..etc this you will never know) until you get a vin # and actual possesion you will never be sure you got the promised car.There are many ways to "divert" your vehicle to another buyer, trust me it happened to me and there is nothing you can do about it. But this is my 2 cents..and whatever works fou you should be fine... Enjoy the Venza

Replying to: svofan2 (Jul 28, 2009 6:51 am) The price they offered to me on my trade in was on the low side..I refused as the blue book gave that car a trade in value of $13000, they gave me a price for $11800, I got $12600 for it. I called several dealers to see if they had the Venza in stock, and they all returned my call, asking to speak to my husband. I was the one getting the car - not him and I do all the wheeling and dealing..he doesn't say a word, he sits there amused. You really do have to do your homework and not let them do a lot of double talk. I had 3 salespeople in the room with us and they were the ones that cried uncle. Good luck

Replying to: mommomk59 (Jul 28, 2009 10:06 am) The fact that you had a trade in made things even more difficult, in my case I am buying cash ( no loan and no more leasing for me) and that may make my life more difficult since is less money that the dealer can make and the bargaining process is mopre difficult....but I will try my best.....I am trying to teach my wife in this art....but she beats me in about a 100 others so I can't complaint..this is something that she lets me have fun with...some fun!!!!!..good luck to you.... |
