I've read that Edmunds article before. It's a great one.

With quantities being limited and the car being so new, I don't know that you will have much room for negotiation.

I know, 1 guy is willing to give me a $500 off msrp, I'm asking him to throw a back up camera too, a friend told me it cost about $500 for a back up camera.

The best advice is to wait as long as possible for stock to fill up. What you're looking for is NOT rare...thus, by waiting for stock to pile up, you will have more bargaining power. Now, if you're planning on getting the Trail Edition, then yeah, you won't have much bargaining power.
Q: if you're paying $35k, then why not just get the Trail??

it doesn't come with a 3rd row seat I think and we don't wanna go over $40k.

People have been complaining about the price but back in late '98 my '99 stickered at just over $35k so really prices have held pretty much the same and yes,some creature comforts have disappeared and Toyota has cut corners but you do get much more advanced technology with the 4th and 5th gens.

I see. I think that the Trail MSRP is $35k without KDSS and NAVI. BTW, the 3rd row is really tight...and with it up, there is not much cargo space. Do you really need a 3rd row?? I know...i am just trying to push someone else to get a Trail so that i can live vicariously through them!

Unfortunately yes we need the 3rd row seat, we are a family of 6, wife really likes the 5th gen w/c is fine with me , by the way how's your 08 sienna? I got a 08 odyssey, I like sienna too its just that honda gave me a good deal that day.

I will be picking up my 2010 4Runner tomorrow, there is more room to negotiate off sticker than $500. I got $2000 off sticker & $7000 for my 04 Tundra with 195K on it. SR5 model, sticker was $34,817. Good luck!!

I love my Sienna. My brother has an '08 Ody too...Touring i believe. He bought the Ody because the Toyota salesman never showed up on the showroom floor...so, my brother wandered over to the Honda dealership! My Sienna Limited is more comfy & quiet and has more luxury stuff...however, it handles like a boat with poor steering/braking feel. The Ody is a lot more sporty and has way better feel. For me, i am into luxury stuff and comfort. My brother is more into handling. So, for each of us, we got what we wanted.
