help needed on 06 Sienna LE

[traders008]

I am about to purchase a 06 Sienna LE. The package has 16 inch alloy wheels. My wife felt a bit bumpy in the third row. Does it help if I move up to 17 inch alloy wheels? In addition, do they make much difference in terms of feeling it or safety improvement? Worth the money or not?

Moreover, I got an internet quote from a dealer for LE with extra package including 4 wheel disc brake, DVD, VSC and Trac cotrol, power sliding RH door, 16" alloy wheel, and 2 wireless headphones for $36,500 before title and tax. Is this a good price? Anyone can comment? Thanks!

17" wheels would generally make the ride worse, not better. More aluminum, less rubber....

Re you sure that the quote isn't for an XLE. A dealership in my area (suburban Washington, DC), shows an internet price of something comparable for under $28K.
