#1765 of 7918 Re: 2002 Camry XLE [rruthlyn] by pmerk28 Mar 01, 2005 (10:34 am)
Replying to: rruthlyn (Jun 12, 2002 2:10 pm) You may be able to. Just remember where you (and myself) live. In the NY/NJ metro area Camry's are very popular, in fact Toyota dealerships where I live were all jammed with people even on weekdays. We bought a loaded XLE V6 with all options except navigation and paid the Edmunds TMV price. I know on these boards you'll see people from other states claiming they got $5,5000 off MSRP and got the same car I got for $22,000 but that isn't going to happen around here. For a GM sedan? Yes. For a Camry on L Island NY? Nope.

Replying to: supernova1994 (Feb 22, 2005 1:07 pm) Was your quote of 18080 on the Accord LX for manual or automatic transmission?? I was offered invoice less 1250 rebate on any Camry on the lat last week FYI.   thanks Replies to this message: supernova1994 (Mar 02, 2005 2:16 pm) alpha01 (Mar 02, 2005 3:00 pm) alookman (Mar 03, 2005 9:12 pm)

Replying to: alpha01 (Feb 22, 2005 1:35 pm) Not Really. Accord LX has side curtains/bags as standard equipment and Camry LE has power seat as std. Shows you the priorities of Toyota. Accord has tilt/telescoping steering and Camry's doesn't. Honda has better collision rating and resale value and Camry rates higher in reliability rating. Toyota loves to nickel and dime you for the options and Honda standardizes those options on various trim levels. Case in point, new Avalon doesn't offer 6 cd player as standard, till you pick the top of the line. Cafeteria plan is great for dealers and distributors and hard to compare cars often.   Otherwise both cars are very similar and a great value. It all depends on which car appeals to your emotions.
#1768 of 7918 My Toyota Experience! by alookman Mar 02, 2005 (8:50 am)
I just helped a lady buy a Camry Le with side airbags and the distributor installed options of alloyed wheel and upgrade alarm and all that junk that is passed off as great value like paint sealant etc. for $20,550 before $1500 rebate at Toyota of Plano on 2/28/05.   It was another unpleasant experience. Being in Dallas market means the dealers get cars from Gulf States Toyota distributor for 5 states. They add few hundred dealer options in bundles that are not always factory option packages and stick it to consumers by charging $1500+.   Take Edmunds.com invoice to any local dealer and they will laugh at you and produce their own fakey invoice which may be the invoice from distributor but not the actual factory invoice.   When we were closing the deal at $20,700 we were told that the car had 425 miles and only reduced it by $150 and we had no choice since rebate expired that day and she had signed and put deposit down.   I have purchased Toyotas and Hondas and the difference is day and night. Honda dealer will accept the Edmunds.com or Consumer Report invoice price and work with you. I was told by all the local dealers that LE doesn't even come with VSC=side bags and curtains for Camry LE and Toyota website indicates it's available.   That is why Toyota Dealerships rate the worst in consumer satisfaction survey, despite such great vehicles.

Replying to: gevans17 (Mar 01, 2005 7:30 pm) Hi Gevans,   Yes, the 18080 was for an Accord LX automatic. Whereabouts are you based to get a 1250 rebate on the Camry?   i think we're going to go for the Camry simply because we prefer the car. We've now been quoted $17,880 (after 750 rebate) for a LE with airbags and the usual floor/trunk mats thrown in. Does this sound over the odds or about right for a Camry LE in this current market? Invoice on Camry's seem to vary i find depending on the website you consult.   I've also been quoted $698 for LoJack, which seems very high.

Replying to: supernova1994 (Mar 02, 2005 2:16 pm) Camry invoice pricing can vary by region, which might explain some of the variability in the consulting of websites.   Alook- the 6 CD changer is standard on the Avalon XLS, and the top model, the Limited has the JBL Synthesis system. So you're a bit wrong.   ~alpha Replies to this message: alookman (Mar 03, 2005 9:12 pm)
#1772 of 7918 Great Toyota Cars, Lousey Dealers! by alookman Mar 03, 2005 (9:12 pm)
Replying to: alpha01 (Mar 02, 2005 3:00 pm) My bad Supernova, Avalon XLS has 6-cd changer but at MSRP over 30k isn't that expected unless you are getting ripped off by the Autobahn car companies. Cars at half the prices have it.   I can see market prices and destination charges varying by region, but invoicing for same vehicle coming from same factory? Doesn't happen with other brands.   I have never been able to have Toyota dealer show us the actual factory invoice, just an internal fakey document. His "invoice" on the Camry LE w/ side air bag+curtain option plus distributor installed package of alloyed wheels, upgrade alarm, pinstripes, cargo net and all that protection gimmick was $21,118. Not possible! Its closer to 20k! Take factory MSRP X 90% and you will be fairly close to his invoice.   I am still looking for Camry LE with VSC as Toyota website indicates is possible. Anyone get VSC on Camry LE?

#1774 of 7918 different invoice prices in different regions by peachtreecity Mar 04, 2005 (10:29 am)
Southeast Toyota Distributors, Inc. is an independent, family-owned company that buys cars from Toyota and sells them to the Toyota dealers in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina. They set their own invoice prices for the cars, which are sometimes different from Toyota's national prices, especially for delivery and options. They also set the consumer rebate amount for the southeast region. There is a similar arrangement in the Gulf Coast region. Kelly Blue Book (www.kbb.com) attempts to show these different regional invoice prices, although they are not always correct.
