Replying to: joeblack1 (Jan 02, 2009 8:10 am) 3 dealers have been able to find that pkg combo with one or two add ons but no cars are available with only those 3 packages. I have gotten 4-5 dealers quoting $1000+ over invoice (Ramsey, Toms River, Caldwell and a couple of others) regardless of the MSRP ... Morristown (Jose x251) and Rt. 22 (Hillside) were willing to go at invoices for the cars they do have. If my wife decides to stay with the Venza, I'll either be locking it down with Ramsey or Rt. 22 depending on which one has the best combination of color and options. Great response/behavior from Ramsey and Morristown...Rt. 22 has done a lot of work trying to find me the right combination of packages (Jamie - Internet sales). Now, we're waiting for Acura quotes ... big ole' circle but boy, its been fun and learning experience buying a Toyota with the veritable variety of options. HP. |

I'm in Central TX, and hubby and I packed up the babies to go check out a Venza. They were all sold out. Even the cars to be shipped to the dealership have been presold. The sales guy told me that there was a waiting list (so no room for bargaining really), but if we wanted a Highlander there were plenty on the lot.

Down here in Houston there seems to be 3-6 at every dealership.

| I hope you have better luck than I had fighting with Toyota. I bought a Camry and the engine blew after 18k miles due to TOYOTAS FAMOUS ENGINE SLUDGE FIASCO. It too two months and finally I got a lawyer and threaten litigation against them. Only then they finally replaced the engine. Now it leaks oil and rattles. But it only had a three month warranty. I would never buy another JUNK TOYOTA. Anyone want to buy a Camry? Maybe I'll donate or Junk it. Probably the latter. You're taking a huge chance buying a Toyota. I learned my lesson the hard way | |

| I just received an offer to buy for $34K in Atlanta, GA with FWD V6 with NAV, PREM #2 and PANORAMIC ROOF. However, the buying service through my auto insurer says I can do better at $32,600. | |

I posted this in another thread but I think this is a better place for it: Hey all, I'm new here on the forums and I am really excited about the Venza. I've been doing a lot of research on the invoice pricing on all of the extra equipment, as well as the car itself, so I could see in reality what kind of prices the dealers were offering and how realistic they are. I actually ended up making a whole spreadsheet about it, and it was truly interesting to see the wide variety in pricing... Here is the package I was looking for, followed by some of the prices: 2WD Black Venza with Ivory Cloth interior SA - Security Package CQ - Convenience Package EJ - JBL Premium System + Bluetooth SR - Panoramic Sunroof CF - Floor and Cargo Mat GN - Cargo Net WL - Wheel Locks That package I just detailed has an MSRP of just over $32,000, but an invoice price of about $29,000... Meaning the dealer selling it for $32,000 would make a $3,000 profit minus whatever small fees here and there. For a consumer, that means there is a lot of room for them to lower the price... First, I got an offer claiming to be a "special Internet price", "just for me", saying basically "MSRP: $32,000, our Special Price for You: $32,000". I was honestly offended upon seeing that after learning the invoice pricing. I received a few offers from other dealers for $31,000, then $30,000, going back and forth in emails asking if they could match or beat a new offer I had received from a lower priced dealer... Eventually it hit $29,765, and $29,430, which seemed to be the bottom line at which most dealers started saying, "Well that place is obviously desperate and in a bad location", and that they could not match that price. Finally, I narrowed it down to 2 dealerships, and was satisfied with the price at $29,430, but liked the relations with the dealer that was selling at $29,765 much better; I asked if he could lower to match the other dealer price, and he offered me this deal: Either he could match their price, $29,430, OR he could upgrade me to a Venza with the same exact specs, but ALSO with the glass sensor and remote start package... At our originally agreed price of $29,765. The invoice price including those 2 new things he added in? $29,692. I am getting the Venza for $73 dollars over invoice price, at $29,765 (plus tax of course). $2,000 dollars lower than my first offer, with more features than I expected, and $3,458 lower than the retail price ($33,223). I just wanted to share that little story with you all, and encourage everyone that hasn't already to do a bit of research and calling around, because chances are there is a great deal on the exact Venza setup that you want, but don't settle with the first offer.... Bargain!!!
