Why is the stripped version so bad, out of curiosity?

i'm not saying it is but i'm sure you can get a used stripped version for a lot cheaper than 29k
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

If he's gonna go on to describe the procedure he used to procure a really good price, the public might be interested in following.

Everything I know is already posted by Dan on numerous occasions. I prefer to give business to Yidden (it's a din). For both my cars I got the best price I could and then I called Will from PAL and see if he could be match it. With my sonata he couldn't, with my Odyssey he did

I just got quoted $35k for a 2014 XLE model, which sounded pretty loaded (entertainment systems, nav, etc).

Does anyone have suggestions how low I should try to get a Sienna LE?

I got a good offer on a Camry hybrid from a family friend in the car buiz. It's a 20k 2010 Camry  hybrid. My question is if anyone knows if the hybrid engine will last the way a reg Camry does? The other offer is a 60k 2013 altima. Both are the same price. Anyone care to say in which is a better choice? Thanks

If you lease or buy you pay the same price it's just a matter of,
a lease is prepaid
a bought is postpaid (after initial deposit) + sitting @ the body shop every so often after 2-3 years
it also really depends where you live here in NYC the roads aren't accommodated for vehicles no driveways, a lot of traffic, people are hyped up by every red light stop and go.......... the list is long it's called city mileage the car gets ruined very fast (who's talking about the amount of tickets you're prone to),
versus if you live in country style, or oot cars can last longer
