Replying to: jason50 (Jul 24, 2009 8:20 pm) If you look at Edmunds, the Camry costs less. It is also harder to negotiate on the Camry vs. Accord. Strange but true. I remember back in the day when dealers wouldn't negotiate on the Accord. My guess is that Toyota knows how to play game very well. They introduced the '10 Camry as soon as it's allowed by the law, Feb. 2009, ( I read this some where on how early they can introduce a car). You cannot find much deal on the '10 Camry b/c the dealers want to get rid of '09. Even if they don't have many '09, they don't have to sell the '10 low b/c they have many more months to sell them. I bet it will be harder to negotiate for the '10 Accord if they have them on the lot now. I just don't understand why the '10 Altima or '10 Accord is not out yet.

So, it could be September when the 2010 model arrives. On my next lease, I am going to look at the date of the car before I sign for it. My car had been sitting for nearly 8mths before moving off the lot. Not a real issue, but 8mths outside sitting, that is not really 100% new anymore. Too long! I will not do that again. I am going to get a more fresh car. Or get a car right off the truck, with the wrapper on it. We did that on our new 08 VW.
