Question: Why is Sienna so expensive? Needing $15000+ on top of MSRP to get one.
I am trying to learn/understand why would we consider that if we can get say, Lexus, Bez, Volvo, Mazda CX90, or Subaru for similar prices
Thanks
Those other brands don’t have cars that can compete in terms of interior space
$15k over msrp is insane. I got my Pacifica hybrid for way under msrp plus incentives. There’s a broker on here @Jrouleau426 that should be near msrp on Siennas…
Purchased a Sienna XLE with 18 inch wheel option, entertainment package and XLE plus package in windchill pearl for $1,500 over back on New Year’s Eve. Waited 7 weeks from the time it was allocated. Spread out your search area. They are out there.
I have them from 1-5k over msrp now. Shipping to cali 2k prob.

Toyota have a fanbase they know why you’re going in a Toyota dealership you only care about one thing reliability not the best tech or best seat or the luxurious feel. They know you need it not want it lol there’s a difference.They also know you’re not going to check out what Land Rover has in stock for third row.
New model
Its a hybrid
Its a Toyota They dont make many
Look at the Honday Odyssey, but it gets worse mileage and is under MSRP
I feel like you have to look at resale values also when factoring it in. It’s not always best to go with one brand jist bc they have a discount. The siennas sell used a year old with 10k miles above msrp. So if you can get one at msrp you’ll more then likely be ahead in 3 years over other brands. Of course this is totally speculative but just what the current market is for them. Many trims are doing 5-8k over msrp used right now as well. Crazy market on these vans
-Its a Toyota hybrid, which has been historically supply limited.
-It has a loyal word of mouth presence in terms of being “Reliable transportation”. That effects new and used transaction prices .
-It has essentials down pat including space and MPG.
Unfortunately everything else in its class just doesnt resonate.
-Everybody else has tried valiantly to raise the bar (carnival comes to mind) but realized the minivan buyers who want that product are a very small demographic, high trim buyer.
-Some mfgs dont have the means to launch a whole new generation of product on a all new platform.
Thanks, good to know 
Thank you 
That’s a great point, ty
Thank you so much for the details
