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!!!
