What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Sienna

Price of the Toyota Sienna: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Minivan, ext. 266-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Reasonably priced - $26k w. DVD & bluetooth stereo upgrade.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 I got the vehicle I wanted at the price I wanted when I wanted it.
Price of the Toyota Sienna: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Minivan, ext. 266-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Expensive
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 In general a Sienna is more expensive than domestic brands of minivans - getting is slightly used mitigated this problem.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 I paid $ 8,000 more for my new 2006 Sienna LE than for my 2009 GC SXT, 2002 T&C LX, or 1999 GC SE. The Chrysler minivans have many more nice features than the Sienna LE.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 The Toyota did not have the rebates and incentives that are common on the domestics, so it is priced higher.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Price is over $40000 Cdn
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 4-5 k more for same or fewer features in packages.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Priced higher with packages that limit choices
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 Overpriced compared to a Dodge Grand Caravan or Chrysler Town & Country.
2006 4dr Minivan, ext. 215-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic FWD		 expensive
2005 4dr Minivan, ext. 230-horsepower 3.3L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Too expensive for what we need

2009 4dr SUV 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 Price very good for AWD.

2002 4dr SUV 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
