Great to see so many on the road now. @dairy_co Was there any markup from the dealer? I’ve got friends that are looking and basically all LM dealers are playing the game.
Good call, I will never buy a vehicle from these guys. Took my deposit only cause they thought I was trading in a lease. When that didn’t work out my wait time was longer all of a sudden. Got my awd XSE tech from Nanaimo at msrp after a month. Smaller out of town dealers is the way to go, it was worth the harbour air and the ferry ride back.After 15 months of waiting for Sienna XSE AWD Tech, our family decision on BC Family Day was to cancel our waiting as the dealer (New West Toyota) will only give Sienna to trade-in regardless who is the next person in the queue. I get that the number of new Sienna is low. I know they want to max their profit so they recommended me to buy pre-owned Hybrid Sienna which you know the price is 10~20K more than new or buy gas Rav4 or Corolla while waiting. Anyway, I know 15 months isn't long compare with others I've heard like 3+ yrs for Limited Awd and still waiting. I think most of us know the dealer these days will not sell MSRP of new Sienna. They have their way of marking up price or require trade-in. If you can get one with MSRP, you should be very grateful. I hope the production line will be back to normal so people can get their cars sooner or hopefully, my cancellation helps whoever is in the queue to get your car faster. Good luck to all who are still waiting for new Sienna!
