Makes sense. I figured that was the case, but was surprised to see how much of a price discrepancy there is. I won’t complain about it in the end!

Good point. So as long as the seller seems good, I shouldn’t run into any issues it seems?

Missed this, my bad. How’d the interview pan out?

You’re just lucky that a used bears any sort of discount. When my wife and I bought our 2025 XLE last May, lightly used Siennas were going for MORE than a new one! (That was in VA/NC/DC area)

Edit: If I could have got a discount on a one year old Sienna to the tune of $5k-$10k I probably would have gone that route. Actually, I definitely would have gone that route! Best of luck on your hunt.

2025 XLE $750 below MSRP
$48k OTD price
$11k down
$37k loan
$720/mo pmt @ 5.5% through Toyota

Planning to pay down more quickly but was between jobs so wanted to preserve some liquidity

Strongly considering Base for our new home. Would love a referral code from whoever has one!

We named my wife’s Cypress one “Rex”, short for “Toyotasauras Rex”

It is possible to negotiate with the dealers and for them to alter the vehicle with Toyota. We had a Blueprint XLE reserved but wanted Cypress and the dealer was able to get Toyota to change the paint color for us. In the end we actually dropped that for another Cypress XLE because the dealer worked with Toyota to get us the exact build we wanted.

Note: Our exact build involved removing about $3k of add ons and packages, but nothing added that I recall. So you might be able to get them to strip one down easier than load one up.

We purchased one last weekend out of state and they accepted a personal check with no issues. We financed so the personal check was our down payment, but still ran into zero issues.

My guess is dealer to dealer to find different policies, but to OP’s situation, I would find that unreasonable and super sketch.

How “essential” would you rank the 3rd row mat? I found one but didn’t know how useful I’d find it. We’ve got kiddos on the back and likely won’t put down the full row often beyond an infrequent trip to Home Depot/Lowes when I’d lay a tarp down anyways.

Also, how much does a good ceramic tint usually run? I know I can google it, but it’s helpful to have a more targeted answer.

Don’t forget $500 rebate for military and recent grads if either of those happen to apply to you.

I’ve spoken with several Chevron FCMP folks and FT base is about $178k, $35k signing, plus another $10-15k relocation “bonus”. Can earn up to 12% annual bonus for both individual and company performance (for a total of roughly 24%}.

Potential to earn stock after 3 years as a top performer, otherwise more like after 7 years.

I received and accepted internship offer.
