#79 of 417 I hope it has better quality than my Camry by rvictor Jan 11, 2009 (12:29 pm)
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

Replying to: juliawithtwo (Jan 07, 2009 6:17 pm) My salesperson mentioned that they are expecting to receive about 25 Venzas a month, to be split across 7 dealerships, for the next several months. That's only 3 or 4 each.
#81 of 417 FYI: Offer to buy at $34K by mrschris Jan 19, 2009 (1:06 pm)
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.
#82 of 417 $73 over invoice / $3,458 off MSRP by venomshot629 Jan 22, 2009 (7:54 pm)
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!!! Replies to this message: princesssandra (Jan 25, 2009 6:14 pm) venomshot629 (Jan 26, 2009 1:07 pm) irismg (Jan 26, 2009 7:01 pm)

Replying to: wstevec (Dec 23, 2008 6:09 am) I am going to check out the Venza (maybe wait until the 4 cyl is here) and am also outside Boston, would you mind passing along the name of your sales person (who you mentioned isn't pushy)?
#85 of 417 Re: thanks for Venza information [princesssandra] by venomshot629 Jan 26, 2009 (1:07 pm)
Replying to: princesssandra (Jan 25, 2009 6:14 pm) Were you looking for the glass break sensor and remote start engine? If not, the leather package adds another $1280 to the invoice cost, which would put the car's invoice price to about $29,000 even; this means the dealer buys it for $29,000. I think if they can discount it to $30,500 or so that would be a good offer and they would still be making a considerable profit if you are getting the same options as me.   I am getting my Venza from a Northern California dealership near Vallejo, it seems dealers in that region have some of the most competitive pricing. Maybe you should email them? It may be worth the drive if they can get you a good enough deal.

Replying to: chadx (Dec 29, 2008 1:11 pm) Interesting thoughts! I guess it remains to be seen, then what with all the layoffs, whether potential buyers and the market will continue to bear a $30K+ car or not. Happy driving!
#87 of 417 Re: $73 over invoice / $3,458 off MSRP [venomshot629] by irismg Jan 26, 2009 (7:01 pm)
Replying to: venomshot629 (Jan 22, 2009 7:54 pm) Excellent! Well done! Making them sell below $30K is great. Still costs too much, but well below what they wanted for it. This will make the fleet or program car prices very reasonable. This is where a broker's services would be invaluable, for those potential buyers who don't want to play games.
#88 of 417 Purshase Power Toyota Venza by princesssandra Jan 28, 2009 (12:19 pm)
Thanks for all post of prices, great to have knowledge to go into battle. Since we are costco members, going through auto program, just starting to get into choices of packages before I can strike deal..Dealer must show 1.Member only price sheet. 2.MSRP. 3. Manufacturer's invoice. My question to owners of Venza, Options. Package #2 Is it worth the extra charge? I do have to have leather, but the camera, sound system and etc.?   thanks again. Customer with a mission. Totalied my honda accord last week, so also without car..cracked 2 ribs..so not in any hurry. On my knees with thanksgiving to God.
