Thanks so much for your comments -- I am precisely upgrading from a Sienna too, so this was very helpful...

Sorry, I meant with the 2nd row slid forward in the minivan in the previous pose.

Thanks -- that is a bummer. I guess it depends whether you get as much cargo room with a fixed 3rd row (and no fourth row) as you would in a mini van with the 3rd row slid forward. Thanks for your help.

Quick question: Do the 2nd and 3rd rows of seats conveniently slide forward or backward (like say, on a minivan)? My plan if I buy an NVP is to take out the 4th row, but I wanted to be sure the remaining rows can be pushed forward/backward easily to create more room as needed. It is hard to tell from the videos online whether or not this is possible "at the pull of a lever"...

Yeah, this is a similar situation although I haven't shopped around to quite as many places as you. It seems 90% of everyone's inventory is white or black, with very few of the other options. On the other hand, they are really trying to push the white/black ones they have in stock. Blue is best, IMO. You got a great deal. I would take a 2016 but I do prefer the 375 hp engine...

Yeah, but I was thinking it should be closer to 42k OTD (Florida, 6%) even for a 2017. Will keep looking...

Thanks -- yes, I checked the inventories in the 100-200 mile radius and there was actually very little in the build/color I wanted. Hence I'm willing to go above the "best deal" price, but was still thinking this was too high. Will keep looking...

Thanks! Yes, I did read your blog a couple weeks ago -- it's one of the reasons I was skeptical about the price I was quoted. Can I ask what your sales tax rate was? On the other hand, it is a 2017 (there seems to be much bigger markdowns around on the 2016s now) and I prefer the 375 hp engine over the 317 hp -- plus they will source it from elsewhere (I believe over 100 miles away). But yes, I think they need to come down a few Ks...

Thanks -- yes I would prefer to buy one in my home state. I wonder what the 42,785 MSRP Tucson price translates to as an OTD price after negotiations but then adding the dealer extras, tax, tag, etc. I still suspect it would be less than the 44k final OTD I'm seeing here...

I recently visited a dealer who didn't have the color/build NVP I wanted in stock -- but he offered to source the vehicle from elsewhere in my state (Florida), quoting 41,500 USD as the (pre-sales tax) OTD price on a 2017 NVP HD SL V8 (about 44,000 after tax). This seemed a bit high to me, and I was wondering if this is in line with what anyone else has paid for the top-end 2017 version. Any and all advice is much appreciated.
