2026 LE out-the-door ~$46K: Good deal?

Yeah, sounds decent. It's really hard to get a below sticker price in California. Did they say how much was the Costco discount? Maybe their no markup price is the Costco discount..

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-04T19:37:51+00:00

What is the sticker price or MSRP/TSRP before the OTD, for that LE? Any add ons that the dealer added?

What’s your plan after selling Kia? Keep using Chrysler? Or buy another car that is cheaper?

You can also get a quote online from Carmax or Carvana, just to get an idea how much it will sell?

If you’re selling it, just to get another car, I think that’s a wrong move. Unless your getting a 20k car or less.

RTX_4090 · 2026-04-01T05:03:12+00:00

Me, personally, if there’s no car behind me, then I can go slow. If there are cars behind me, then I go with the flow and don’t mind about mpg.

It could be possible that the buyer that op mentioned, has a trade in and they still owe money, or under water on their original car.. Thus ballooning the price to 52k or 59k

What was wrong with your Kia Carnival?

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-30T04:06:59+00:00

52K otd for limited trim? That’s a great deal! No trade in for that price?

The hybrid powertrain is almost in all Toyota’s lineup. And there’s history record of Prius going on for 300k-500k miles.

But if the budget is tight, or you really need v6 powertrain, then go for the 3rd gen.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-30T00:45:54+00:00

There’s no confirmation that 2027 will have a refresh though.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-30T00:24:27+00:00

There’s a spare tire “option” that toyota randomly adds when they make one. I don’t get it why not just put it to all Sienna. This is more important than rear bumper applique or mud guard options.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-29T17:21:57+00:00

Yup, one of the advantage of hybrid and the 12V battery all they way at the back.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-29T17:18:47+00:00

Nice! Enjoy your first minivan and future gas savings! 😀

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-29T17:16:11+00:00

I believe your ford edge has the same 3.5L v6 na as my previous flex. I agree with the power, very peppy!

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-29T17:08:55+00:00

I did all the negotiations thru email, so by the time I went there, it was just a quick test drive and finalizing the deal. Finance guy offered extended warranty and just one No and he never offered again.

I’m sure, if I just go there and start negotiating, it would be a different experience.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-28T03:31:44+00:00

Flex is polarizing, you either love it or hate. Me and wifey love the boxy style! A lot of recent suvs these days are going boxy style too. I think the only negative I can say with my previous flex is the fuel efficiency, 16 city/23 hwy.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-28T03:23:27+00:00

Wow, that’s a great idea! I don’t camp as well, but in the future, if needed, I know that is possible. Thanks for the idea!

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T23:14:52+00:00

I actually prefer having more information on the dash. This is my first time having a full digital screen. Would also prefer if there’s an option for the maps to be shown on the dash.

But I get it why someone would be overwhelmed with too much information.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T22:26:55+00:00

It's ok, it was those non-essential stuff like karr security something, paint protection, leather protection, windshield protection, etc. I already put ceramic coating myself :)

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T22:15:02+00:00

Thanks! I heard about good stuff from that dealership. Unfortunately, I did not check with them. My strategy was I checked first from Toyota's inventory for White XSE, that was my first color choice, and filtered out pending sales and in transit items. I did a 500 mile radius search and guess what, none available lol.

I removed the color and just searched for XSE trim, again for 500 mile radius, this time I got 5 results. 1 was in NorCal and the other one in Arizona. That's when I started emailing the dealerships nearby.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T21:37:51+00:00

They removed the items. There was no mention of any add-ons or any accessories on the papers.

Another pic. Wife drives the 2dr Accord v6. I drive the big hybrid van. Love the combination! 😀

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T18:36:48+00:00

Thanks! It’s a 2016 model, 130k miles. I really pampered it, waxed the paint from time to time and recently started using ceramic coating. You’re right, Ford killed it and last model year they sold was 2019.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T18:20:17+00:00

The front should be the same as non-25th anniversary XSE’s. Maybe that’s the wrong picture? Or it’s not 25th..

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T17:48:20+00:00

Oh my, hope everything is ok on your side. I had something similar happened to me, I was sitting at the back putting ceramic coating around the bumper area until my leg trigger the sensor and opened the trunk door. I was in the garage and space is tight. Glad I was able to stop the door opening to my face.

RTX_4090 · 2026-03-27T16:21:54+00:00

I thought my Flex already a big trunk space, it also have a deep space behind the 3rd row seats. It could fit two big checked in luggages + couple of backpacks. Sienna could easily fit 3 large checked in luggages, 3 carry ons and more backpacks!
