Toyota will make some improvements to the new Vellfire and release it in August 2024. This time, we have summarized in detail the discounts on the main unit price and points to consider when purchasing. I would appreciate it if you could use this as a reference when making a purchase.

Target amount of discount for “Vellfire” in 2024

How much is the price of “Vellfire” discounted?

We investigated the current discount market price as of April 2024. Vellfire is really strict when it comes to discounts. I see that you can get great discounts on other sites, but from the perspective of people who actually purchase Toyota, I think that there is almost no such thing.

grade	Purchase date	vehicle discount	option discount	Total discount amount
Z Premier	September 2023	00,000 yen	00,000 yen	00,000 yen
HYBRID Z Premier	October 2023	00,000 yen	00,000 yen	00,000 yen
HYBRID Z Premier	December 2023	00,000 yen	00,000 yen	00,000 yen
HYBRID Z Premier	January 2024	00,000 yen	00,000 yen	00,000 yen

The discount is just the mat fee as a service,

I am also purchasing it, but the person mentioned above told me that they could only give me a discount of 0. On the contrary, it is thorough and amazing! It’s a car that will sell even without a discount, so I don’t think it can be helped. This time, since some improvements have been made, we have set the following target amount.

2023 “Vellfire” vehicle price

Vellfire recommended grade

We recommend selecting the grade “Z Premium”. This is a grade not found in the Alphard, and has more safety features as standard compared to the Z, as well as exclusive Vellfire 19-inch aluminum wheels, premium Nappa leather executive power seats, and a special interior color of Sunset Brown. Masu.

grade	engine	Drive system	Price (10%)
Z Premium	2.5 L in-line 4-cylinder direct injection engine + motor THSⅡ (hybrid)	2WD	6,900,000 yen
Z Premium	2.5 L in-line 4-cylinder direct injection engine + motor THSⅡ (hybrid)	4WD	7,120,000 yen
Z Premium	2.4L direct injection turbo engine + Direct Shift-8AT	2WD	6,550,000 yen
Z Premium	2.4L direct injection turbo engine + Direct Shift-8AT	2WD	6,748,000 yen
Executive Lounge	2.5 L in-line 4-cylinder direct injection engine + motor THSⅡ (hybrid)	2WD	8,700,000 yen
Executive Lounge	2.5 L in-line 4-cylinder direct injection engine + motor THSⅡ (hybrid)	4WD	8,920,000 yen

What engine do you recommend?

• I personally recommend the “2.5 L inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine (Dynamic Force Engine) + motor THS II (hybrid)” model.

2.5 L inline 4-cylinder hybrid model Why we recommend it

It has better fuel efficiency and motor assist than the gasoline model, so you can enjoy more relaxed driving. The engine and hybrid system are well-established and have already been used in many car models such as the RAV4, Harrier, Crown (crossover), and Camry . Engine output and motor output have been increased to Vellfire specifications. When considering it as a hybrid model, you can select the drive system: 2WD.

The author is currently driving the 4th generation Harrier model with 2.5 L inline 4-cylinder direct injection engine (Dynamic Force Engine) + motor THS II (hybrid) , and the fuel efficiency is 17.1 km/L while driving without worrying about anything. Even considering the weight and size of the vehicle, it has impressive fuel efficiency. Furthermore, thanks to the motor assist, it was able to run comfortably, and I was confident that I would not be dissatisfied with the fuel efficiency and driving performance, even if I imagined it to be an Alphard, which has the weight and class of the car.

What options do you want to add to the 2023 Vellfire considering its resale value?

Toyota Teammate Advanced Park + Parking Brake Support

“Executive Lounge” and “Z Premier” are standard equipment. All new Alphard models are equipped with the next-generation Toyota Safety Sense as standard . This alone is great as it has many functions, but even though it has a lot of safety equipment (Z is a manufacturer option), it is definitely worth adding this.

Advanced Park

After stopping next to the space you want to park, press the advanced park switch to confirm the parking location. Then, when you press the start switch, the system monitors the surrounding area and assists with steering, accelerator, and brake operations to complete parking (shifting is manual).

Advanced Park (with remote function) Hybrid vehicle

Limited to hybrid vehicles, you can remotely park and exit the vehicle by operating a dedicated smartphone app from outside the vehicle. Those who want to do this will definitely choose a hybrid car.

Parking support brake (stationary object) [Intelligent clearance sonar]

When parking or driving at low speeds, when there is a risk of colliding with a stationary object such as a wall, when starting suddenly due to pressing the accelerator pedal incorrectly or too much, or when starting due to pressing the shift lever incorrectly, the sensor automatically adjusts the direction of travel. When a stationary object is detected, the system is activated, mitigating the collision and helping to reduce the damage caused by the collision.

digital inner mirror

“Executive Lounge” is standard equipment. “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G” are manufacturer options. If you carry a lot of people in the back seats or carry a lot of luggage in the luggage compartment, we recommend installing a digital interior mirror.

[2022] Digital interior mirror car model list recommended summary We will summarize the car models that have adopted “digital interior mirrors” as of 2022, and introduce more recommended car models. Vehicle models that adopt the “digital interior mirror” are “light vehicles…

Universal steps (both sides)

“Executive Lounge”, “Z Premier”, “Z” and “G” are manufacturer options for all grades. We recommend installing this for people who carry elderly people or small children in the back seat. The disadvantage is that you won’t be able to install a spare tire. From an export perspective, it may be fine to have a spare tire, but for domestic use, I think it would be better to have a universal step.

Twin dimming panoramic roof

The seats feature a “super long overhead console” and “twin dimming panoramic roof . ” It is recommended to install it as it is an option on “Alphard” and “Z” grades.

priority list

All of this can actually be said to be natural. “ Continuous purchase history at dealers ” This is the easiest to understand, but for dealers, they are the most important customers who can make continuous sales, and they are the users who spend their money. “ You can trade in your current car. ” You can also make a profit by selling it on the directly managed Toyota “used car market.” “ You can make a contract in installments (KINTO/residual value setting plan) ” This also generates interest compared to a lump sum of cash, so you can make a profit on the interest rate. ` `Maintenance at the dealer ” This also leads to profit for the dealer. In other words, no matter which option you consider, priority (points) are given to those who will be profitable for the retailer. You may need to keep this in mind when making your purchase.

Does the delivery date change depending on whether you choose “Alphard” or “Vellfire”?

According to the dealers I have checked, the number of Alphards and Vellfires scheduled to arrive is higher than the number of Alphards. However, I was told that if I wanted to get it quickly, I should choose Vellfire. As expected, “Alphard” has a good reputation in terms of name value, so it is expected that popularity will be concentrated.

Vellfire discounts, points to successfully purchase cheaply

• Consider purchasing at the end of the fiscal year. Or have a business meeting around the end of every month.
• Consider rival car models, compare and contrast about 3 car models, and even bring it up during business negotiations.
• If you have a trade-in car, first have it appraised by a dealer, then have it appraised by at least three other companies, and then sell it to the highest bidder.
• Check to see if you can get discounts on the main unit and options.
• When purchasing through installments or leasing, you may be able to get a better deal on the total price if you consider other options than going through a dealer.
• At the final stage, you press no and make an immediate decision at the desired price.
• Get a quote from a different store dealer

1. Consider purchasing and negotiate at the end of the fiscal year

Honda’s financial results are aimed at monthly financial results, interim financial results at the end of September in the first half of the fiscal year, and year-end financial results at the end of March at the end of the fiscal year, which are quarterly financial results in June, September, December, and March. It might be the eyes. Salespeople also want to increase sales at this time of closing, so they may be willing to negotiate on price. I’m sure they’ll work really hard especially during the fiscal year-end settlement at the end of March!

2. Consider rival car models and compare and consider about 3 car models

Including competitors can be used as a bargaining chip in business negotiations. As a salesman myself, I understand that when other companies enter the market, we are forced to compete on price. It also lets the other party know that you are planning to make a purchase soon, which will help lower the price.

Vellfire competitors

Competing models within Honda are no good. For example, I am having trouble deciding between Voxy, Vellfire, and Alphard. Be sure to estimate and consider products of the same class from other manufacturers.

Recommended car models for Vellfire and competitors

The following are the models that are perfect for competition in terms of body size and lineup. It may take some time, but please try getting a quote from another company at your dealer. However, what often happens is that when you get a quote from another company, you find that the other company’s product is discounted or offers a better product, so you end up purchasing from that company. It is also important to know about other companies.

• I’m absent this time.

If you force me to include you as a candidate

• honda odyssey
• nissan elgrand

It can be said that the lack of competitors is creating this situation of discounting. Please come out with a car model that other companies can compete with.

3. Trade-in car appraisal

If you currently have a car, think about how to sell it for the highest price when you get rid of it. When requesting a quote for your Vellfire, be sure to also request a trade-in appraisal. Based on the appraised price given by the dealer, consider getting quotes from at least 4 other companies to sell your car. This is required.

Reasons and experiences

I have had good and bad appraisals at dealers, but of course it is necessary to compare with other companies. For example, in my case of selling a Prius that I had driven for two and a half years, there was a difference of 640,000 yen when I got the appraisal results.

• Dealer: 1,660,000 yen (condition: if picked up next week)
• Company A 2,230,000 yen Condition: If it can be picked up the next week
• Company B 2.3 million yen Condition: If it can be picked up the next week
• Company C 2.3 million yen　OK until the next car is delivered

What surprised me the most was the trade-in price at the dealer.

I drive the current 4th generation Harrier, and I was surprised at the trade-in price.I visited two certain used car shops beforehand and negotiated the deal, but compared to other shops, the trade-in price was 500,000 yen. +Furthermore, since the price was promised up to the time of delivery, there was no reason not to choose it, so it was my first time trading in at a dealer. If it’s easy and affordable, it’s hard to give up on Toyota cars.

4. Check if you can get discounts on the main unit and options.

For example, the discount amount will often be greater if you add the main unit and options than if you only add the main unit and few options. The reason is that the discount amount for the main unit and the discount amount for options can be generated separately. Therefore, the discount amount is listed for each of the “base price” and “option price” above. However, of course, the more options you have, the higher the total cost will be, so be sure to select and add the equipment you want and then ask for a discount. Of course it will be more expensive if you add everything.

5. When purchasing in installments or on a lease, you may be able to get a better deal on the total price by considering options other than going through a dealer.

For example, let’s say Vellfire Z Premier costs 7 million yen including miscellaneous expenses. This is a simulation where you prepare 4 million yen of that amount and borrow 3 million yen.

• Loan amount 3 million yen
• No down payment
• Bonus payment 0

If you calculate the difference in interest rates under the above conditions, you will see a huge difference in the total repayment amount. If you borrow 3 million yen for 10 years at 5.5%, you will pay an additional 900,000 yen, but if you borrow 3 million yen for 10 years at 2.5%, you will only need to pay 400,000 yen plus 500,000 yen. It also makes a difference. So, one way is to look for an auto loan from a bank or other company that can provide you with a loan with a low interest rate.

If the interest rate (annual) is 5.5%

Loan period	Monthly repayment amount	Total repayment amount
3 years	90,587 yen	3,261,131 yen
5 years	57,303 yen	3,438,168 yen
7 years	43,110 yen	3,621,187 yen
10 years	32,557 yen	3,906,877 yen

If the interest rate (annual) is 2.5%

Loan period	Monthly repayment amount	Total repayment amount
3 years	86,584 yen	3,117,008 yen
5 years	53,242 yen	3,194,492 yen
7 years	38,967 yen	3,273,218 yen
10 years	28,280 yen	3,393,641 yen

Car loan popularity ranking

loan company	Interest rate (annual rate)	Interest rate structure
Mitsubishi UFJ Bank	1.500%～2.450%	Fluctuation
Sompo Japan	1.400%～3.950%	fixed
Yokohama Bank	0.900%～2.400%	Fluctuation
Chibagin	0.850%～2.400%	Fluctuation
Joyo Bank	0.850%～2.750%	Fluctuation

important point

Cheap, car loans from banks have the strictest screening process, followed by loans affiliated with dealers, but the interest rates are higher accordingly. The more lenient the loan screening by other financial institutions, the higher the interest rate.

6. At the final stage, press no and make an immediate decision at the desired price.

If the discount is not the amount you want, just tell them your desired amount without any hesitation. If it’s that amount, I’ll sign the contract today, but if it’s still difficult to get the discount you want, you have no choice but to give up and say it’s the best you can do.

7. Get a quote from a different Toyota dealership

The store that I am familiar with is Toyopet, but there are many other companies as well.For example, if you get another estimate at the Chiba Toyota store, the price may change. This happens because the companies are completely different. If you get a quote from the same Chiba Toyopet store, you will quickly find out through information sharing that the other store is paying the same amount. So please try again at another Toyota dealer with whom you have no capital ties.

example

• Chiba Toyopet
• chiba toyota
• Toyota Corolla Chiba (now Chiba Toyopet group)
• nets toyota chiba

Toyota exclusive advantageous “Maintenance Pack”

*Pack contents vary depending on the retailer.

A maintenance pack is a package that mainly includes vehicle inspections, legal inspections, and maintenance necessary for vehicle maintenance. There are some packages that only include vehicle inspection and maintenance and statutory inspection and maintenance, but many packages also include after-sales services in addition to vehicle inspection and maintenance, and the prices are set to be cheaper than the regular price. It is characterized by a large number of

For Chiba Toyopet “Medium Class”

For example , this is a simulation of applying for a maintenance package of 2 and a half years (30 months), 3 years (36 months), or 5 years (60 months) for the medium class Corolla Cross.

Maintenance period	Regular price	package price	Great value
2 and a half years (30 months)	91,592 yen	68,694 yen	22,898 yen
3 years (36 months)	166,716 yen	125,037 yen	41,679 yen
5 years (60 months)	219,566 yen	164,674 yen	54,892 yen

If you plan to keep your car for a certain amount of time, you will find that it is better to apply for a package rather than paying for regular maintenance or vehicle inspection each time.

You should think that “Vellfire” is special.

I would say that people who are really concerned about discounts should try looking for a new or used car , but the Vellfire is a premium car and there are no new or used cars available. Furthermore, used cars are sold for much more than new car prices. “Vellfire” is currently cheap if you put it in the purchase quota even without discounts, so as of 2024, we recommend purchasing without putting too much emphasis on discounts.
