Just saw that Toyota is running Toyotathon promotion for $500 back if you finance the Sienna. Anyone know what the minimum amount that needs to be financed?

There shouldn't be a minimum. But if they tell you there is, just finance the whole thing to get the $500 and pay off what you need. It looks good on the credit report too, to pay off a higher amount loan, for what it's worth.

The standard toyota APR seems to be 3.99% on the Sienna for 60 months. Places online like Penfed are 1.99% and BofA was able to give me 1.59%, so I'm not going to take the $500 since I plan on paying off the car over 60 months especially at 1.59%, it's free money, even if I can pay off the whole car at once.

Buy car and finance with Toyota. But after you took the car off the lot, re-finance with your preferred lender. Result = You get $500 and you get a lower interest rate with another lender. Bonus = you screwed the dealer's kickback, since the dealer needs you to be on the loan from Toyota for at least 3 months.

Usually, a refinance has a higher interest rate than an original loan, that's why I couldn't do that, it wasn't worth it.

Just got my XLE and the dealer was charging double of these rates (NorCal). How do I buy this warranty? I’m still under factory warranty (8 miles on the van). I’m willing to give my money to another dealer/state if it means this much savings…

Check them and you will find what you want.

There was a price sheet posted earlier. I got the 7 year 125k for 1375 it comes with 0 deductible and is Toyota’s Platinum.

Straight price right off the price sheet, no additional tax.

Why not purchase the warranty towards end of 3yr/36k?

This is only for US bought Siennas?

It doesn't matter, is what I was explained. The extra warranty years purchase is never "added" on to the end of your standard warranty. It simply extends you from 3 to 7 and ups your mileage allotment. So if you got it near the end, and got the 7 year, then we would both expire at 2029 or 125k, you wouldn't be able to go to 2031 simply because you purchased it later.

If I am mistaken...then experts please chime in.

For extended warranty to be honored, do you have get all scheduled routine maintenace at a Toyota Dealership or can you take it to non-Toyota Mechanic?

It does matter. If you trade your Sienna in when it is 3 years old or it gets totaled in an accident you will have paid $600 for an "extended service contract" that provided you with no benefit. Your refund, upon cancellation, will be prorated and will be less than $800. In addition, if you finance your purchase you can add interest on top of that.

Are your wheels sold? I am also in the Bay Area and we can meet and trade.

Finally scored a 2022 Sienna Woodland in Cement. I put down a deposit in mid-Nov for an XSE AWD or Woodland at a local dealership that sells at MSRP. They gave me no timeline of delivery just said we’ll call you when we get one that matches your request. After a month, no delivery estimate so I get impatient and start calling more dealerships in Nor Cal as well as So Cal (Longo and Carlsbad). Some said 2 months wait, and some said up to 6 month wait. About a week goes by and Toyota Sunnyvale calls to let me know a customer who ordered a Woodland backed out and I was next in line. The car was on the lot with just 4 miles and I was able to get it for 500 under MSRP ($500 TFS rebate, 47.5K before taxes). This is our family’s first new car in 15 years we are absolutely loving it. It will take some time to learn all the features.

If you are still looking, be persistent and check with other dealerships as they may have some cancellations. If this helps anyone here in CA here are the dealerships that I came across that sell at MSRP: Toyota Sunnyvale, Marin, Hayward, Walnut Creek, One Toyota Oakland, and Longo,

Here are others with dealer markups or add ons: Fremont, Salinas, Vacaville and Tracy.

Good luck and Happy Holidays!

Yep Jerry is the man. He will treat you fairly.

Just took delivery of a Woodland in Cement in the Seattle area at MSRP. I contacted pretty much every dealer in Washington state and northern Oregon, and placed a deposit at Doxon Toyota in mid-October and scored a Woodland allocation a few days later (apparently there wasn't a line for Woodlands).

I was hesitant to celebrate early in case of dealer markups or shenanigans, but it ended up being real.

I noticed BofA is advertising rates “as low as 2.29%”. Did you do something special to get the 1.59% rate?

BofA has 0.50% discount for platinum customers for their platinum honors customers.
