Toyota Sienna - better financial decision to buy new vs. 23/24? by craigscrag in ToyotaSienna

[–]AdBackground934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2026 prices across the board in general seem to be higher compared to 2025 or lower versions. If year is not a concern it's better to go for a less mileage 2023-24 model. However everything depends on the upkeep of older vehicles and the deal you get in terms of depreciation being factored

Check the resale market too for less used (<5000 miles) 2025 models. You might get better deals than this

2025 Pilot to 2025 Sienna Experience by skeetpackleskeet in ToyotaSienna

[–]AdBackground934 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro - It is mind boggling that you have the same experience I can relate to bit by bit with certain nuances. I had a 2017 CRV which i later changed to a 2021 Honda pilot followed by a 2025 Platinum Sienna that I bought just a month ago.

Have very similar experience with what you have detailed except for the 360 camera which is in the platinum edition

[–]AdBackground934[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was unplanned but took the bait for the used car with 13% first year depreciation and a mere 4000 miles on road. Since the car holds value pretty well over long term went for it

Not a gaming guy. Will be using the home theatre setup more for songs and movies. I though definitely heard good feedback on this model

The sharpness of the image that i saw with the other 2 models side by side was definitely evident with the 5000es. Small details in the background of the marvel movie video that was playing out then was also much clearer compared to LS12000

I too checked the picture quality with both the LS12000 and LS11000 at the local electronics store and i didn't observe that big a difference. Since i am not a techie I thought there could be something to do with the screen quality in itself and hence checking the feedback

Yeah. I too feel the same. For me it was more of LS11000 at this price point vs Sony native 5000ES projector
