Thread: Anyone need to know the dealer invoice of a new car?

Yeah, I'll have to update that post. I'm the owner of a 2009 Toyota Sienna LE 8 passenger......minivan.

Actually it's not that bad. It's actually a lot quieter than our Subaru Forester that we've just loved but outgrew. My pain was eased when I easily threw a bunch of 8' 2x4s, 2x3s and 2x2s and some 8' lengths of cut plywood in the back of that new minivan with room for all of us to ride. I'll get used to it!

That's a great vehicle.I predict that you will more than get used to it,you'll probably like it a lot.

I never thought I'd say it, but yes, I'm liking it more than I thought I would.

I still can't figure out why at least in our area, so many senior citizens drive minivans. I'd say they outnumber families that have minivans from what I can see. What's the allure for them?

I don't know what the allure is,but I've seen it too.

From what I've seen when working with older people, minivans are comfy and easy to get in and out of. They can fit a bunch more old people in there with them to go to bingo too.

I could see that. It's easier to step up into something and step DOWN out of something that it is to do the opposite. The few times my mother in law got into my company car (a VW beetle which is very low to the ground) she had a difficult time getting up out of it even with help.

How does Cosumer Reports' dealer invoice compares to Edmunds dealer iinvoice ?
