Replying to: sweetsoul (Sep 20, 2009 8:48 am) From the autotrader.com web site, click on "sell your car." From there, on the right hand side, you'll see a box that says "Turn Your Car Into Cash." Click on "Get an Instant Offer" and follow the prompts. Ardmore is a participating dealer, but I was their guinea pig as they'd never seen an Autotrader Trade-In Guarantee come in before. Frankly, Ardmore didn't meet the guaranteed price, but they came close - close enough that it wasn't worth it to me to drive to Conicelli's auction house, which would have matched it without questioning. As it was, I got about $1200-$1500 more than I might have on the open trade-in market.

Replying to: rw11 (Sep 20, 2009 5:49 pm) Overall I am very happy with the car so far. It's a good all around vehicle that does everything pretty well. It's not a sports car, but it's a great highway cruiser with plenty of passing power (V6). This was my first new car purchase, and I was all over the map with other car considerations. I was looking at a BMW 3-series sedan/wagon, a BMW X3, Audi A3, Infinity G37x, Lexus IS250AWD, Lexus ES350, and Lexus RX. Some of these I was shopping pre-owned as well, because I really wanted to be in the low 30k range. I almost bought a IS250AWD, but it dawned on me that while a very nice car, it was small and kind of slow. The Venza is a nice middle ground, that offers some good room/utility in a stylish package. Throw in toyota reliability, AWD, and some of the nicer options at a competitive price, and I really couldn't find a better all around vehicle for my needs. Sure, I wanted the 335xi, but 40k+ was too much for me to spend, and BMW reliability out of waranty was a question. I kept my last car for 9 years and I intend to keep the Venza for 10+. Good luck to all you Venza deal hunters. |

I've been following this Forum for a good month now, it's helped me get a better idea of what to expect. There was no escaping it, I mean buying a car in the Southeast and bowing to the SET! Just a week ago I took delivery of a black 4cyl FWD with leather faced seats for $26,100 before TTL. After exhaustive research I was pretty happy with the deal, and it was a local dealer (Legacy Toyota in Tallahassee, FL) that ended of giving me the best deal of 3 I contacted. Finding a car without many of the packages was not easy, but they pulled through, and got it to me just days before I was to leave for a vacation. The car was everything I had hoped and more. I had been driving a 6 year old Honda CRV, which had been a great car, but just wanted an upgrade. The Venza feels more expensive than the price and is a great family truckster (National Lampoon Vacation). I drove the 4cyl and the 6cyl, and I got to say, for the weight of the vehicle the 4cyl does pretty good. I think the secret is in the transmission gearing. Does anyone know of a safe, reasonable way of getting more HP? I've heard that synthetic motor oil adds about 7 or so HP, and K&N does not make an intake for the 4cyl, any ideas?

Got a quote for a 2009 Toyota Venza FWD 4-cyl with Mats and Roof Rack. MSRP is $27479. Dealer is offering $24386 before taxes, title,etc.. Is this a good deal? Replacing my 16yr old Corolla which I bought new, back in 1993.
