#1818 of 7922 Continued: How I bought a Camry LE in Florida / Southeast by happycamry Mar 26, 2005 (2:14 pm)
Continued from post just above. . .   Be sure when you negotiate that you get a firm Out the Door Price. That’s key. If not, you’ll get stuck with surprise charges at the end. The two dealers that gave me the lowest prices both rejiggered their own numbers on the Buyers Sheet to hit the Out the Door Price. That price is what is truly important and it should reflect EVERYTHING including sales tax and tags.   Also, at first I was going to ignore any dealer that had cars with that dastardly, supposed $699 Toyoguard package on the car. But I decided that since the package likely cost the dealer next to nothing, and since it meant nothing to me, if I could still get a great deal on a car with the package, so be it. So, my car has it and I put only $125 on my spreadsheet for this item’s dealer cost even though I saw sites that say it costs dealers $239. The saleman claimed the undercoating makes the car 11% quieter but who knows--our Camry is as quiet as any Lexus or Mercedes I've ever been in.   If the Fleet or Internet Manager doesn’t meet your price, I urge you to be friendly and polite. Consider letting them know you have already received lower offers than theirs. Two dealers did indeed call me back later with lower prices so it pays to play it cool, but friendly and respectful.   The car is incredible, by the way. Happy hunting!

#1819 of 7922 PS-re tire safety on buying current Camrys by happycamry Mar 26, 2005 (2:54 pm)
Folks, I hope this isn't off subject but if, like us, you buy the Camry because you care about safety, read on.   After we proudly pulled our new Camry into the garage, I noticed that the tires were the Goodyear Integrity model rather than the different stock tire reviewed by Consumer Reports as part of the Camry review--and not reviewed as being particularly good, at that. I looked up the Goodyear Integrity reviews at TireRack.com and one other site, expecting good things. However, this current Camry LE stock tire is universally hated with many hyproplaning complaints! Since we bought our Camry with side airbags for safety, I immediatlely traded in these tires locally and paid a $172 difference for new Kumho 716 tires. These well-priced tires are rated by literally hundreds of buyers as tops and make our new car even quieter. With the torrential Florida rains we've again had this week, we sure are happy we immediately switched to a much better rated tire. Something to consider when you budget for your new purchase.
#1820 of 7922 Got Camry LE with side curtain airbag today at $18,400 by lunarmist1 Mar 26, 2005 (7:08 pm)
Replying to: happycamry (Mar 26, 2005 2:14 pm) The cash car price is $18,518 + tax (3%) + $57 (title fee) + $269 (process fee) - $1,000 (rebate)= $18,400 drive out price. We are in NC.

Replying to: happycamry (Mar 26, 2005 2:12 pm) >>I faxed six offers This is a cinch now since you can go to BuyAToyota.com and easily check the inventory at any dealer in your region.   How do you check dealer inventory through BuyaToyota.com? I've been all through the site and don't see that capability. Thanks.

Replying to: phili (Mar 27, 2005 8:07 am) Go to BuyAToyota.com and look toward the bottom of the page. You'll see a box to enter a zipcode. Enter the zipcode of any dealer in any city and you will see a link directly to that dealer's inventory along with another four or more dealers in the vicinity. That will allow you to also check the other dealers in a given area, one by one. Once you begin to check a particular dealer's stock, you will be prompted to choose the car and the features you are looking for. Hope that's of help.

Replying to: phili (Mar 27, 2005 8:07 am) I was wondering too!

Replying to: phili (Mar 27, 2005 8:07 am) happycamry's advice on finding the dealer's inventory does not work for every state in the continental USA. It does work for the southeastern US however. Replies to this message: happycamry (Mar 28, 2005 4:28 am)

Replying to: patricd (Feb 20, 2005 9:37 am) I think you got a great deal. I purchased a 2005 Camry XLE without Nav.system and side air bags. for $25,599.98 O.T.D. from I-10 Toyota Indio, Ca. with no haggling. Color white. We love it!
#1826 of 7922 Re: Whew! How I bought a Camry LE in Florida / Southeast [fredvh] by happycamry Mar 28, 2005 (4:28 am)
Replying to: fredvh (Mar 27, 2005 9:20 pm) When I saw your post, I tried a few arbitrary zipcodes and do see that some regions such as Michigan/Ohio/Kentucky/Tennessee have an area to request a price quote rather than a direct link to the inventory. Look to the right and you can look up the names of all dealers under the "select dealer" tab.   Another thing to try is to go directly to a dealer's own website. Most that I checked have links to the same pages to check inventory.   Also, if you are not even seeing the place to enter the zipcode at the bottom of the www.buyatoyota.com page, you may want to try a different web browser. Be sure you have relavitely recent version. Common browsers include Explorer, Mozilla, Opera and Safari.
#1827 of 7922 camry XLE and LE Prices by solarisman Mar 28, 2005 (7:06 pm)
Quoting OTD pricing seems useless to me. Too many variances in taxes and fees from State to state IMHO.   Brought an XLE 4 GY,AW,CF = $20,500 Need to add tax, fees, whatever to figure your OTD price!   Not as comfortable as my 2002 and the 6 CD radio is lousy (had the bose in the 2002 . The 2005 seems smaller to me. Otherwise its OK.   If you get an LE 4 GY, CF < $18,100 + fees/tax You did good.   GY=side airb CF?=mats AW=alloy wheels   According to the sheets Lunar Mist and Grey are the most produced colors. 25% and 20% avg. respectively. I love the grey myself but opted for the Lunar Mist since everyone says its much easier to detail and its cooler in the sun (this will save on gas, right!). I had the grey and the scratches show up well. Also interesting is VSC (Veh Stab) is only installed on the XLE 6 model. $$$$ Buy a Lexus or Avalon at this price. The only problem is the Avalon and Lex don't have the 40/60 split. Bummer. Hope this helps:) Tally-ho Replies to this message: alpha01 (Mar 28, 2005 9:44 pm) solarisman (Mar 29, 2005 12:57 pm)
