The final is $19100 OTD, 4.8%APR/36months. Is it acceptable? Would decide tomorrow.

Seems somewhat reasonable stylishgirl.
Don't know what the tax and fees are in Ohio though!
What color did you pick?

Tax is 6.75% here. and fees are about $125.
I chose desert sand. Just feel that the Apr is high, but the price includes $1100 incentive ($400+$700).

Vehicle Theft Replacement by nancynyc

Did anyone purchase a Vehicle Theft Replacement option offered by Toyota or is this a financing scam to spend more money on a new car?

That's a creative idea, but I doubt it would work consistently because dealer incentives/rebates, etc. are always changing. Much involved in buying a car is related to current market conditions, demand and inventory. For example, the Prius is in such high demand now, it's hard to negotiate much. For the Camry, as many here have found, you can do very, very well. Just be patient and hold your ground. You can learn quite a bit at www.carbuyingtips.com and work with their free downloadable spreadsheet. Best of luck.

SoCal Friday loss leader deals coming again? by lilabner
Mar 31, 2005 (10:23 am)

Last Friday four of the Toyota dealers in San Diego advertised "loss leaders" in the local paper (SD Union Tribune). One was on a 2005 Sienna LE for $23,695 plus tax, license etc.; and several were on Camry LE's for $15,700 to $15,999. I was leaning on the door when Mossy Toyota opened Friday morning, and snapped up one of the Camrys for my wife. I heard later that some of the other dealers (Bob Baker Toyota, Toyota of El Cajon) had people showing up at 3AM or even earlier. Mossy had advertised the Sienna, and it wasn't bought by the time I left at around 10:30AM.
 
Most of them seem to do this about every Friday, or maybe every other Friday. And so tomorrow is the day! Poway Toyota also does it frequently, but didn't do it last Friday, so maybe they are due! These are the deals where they say "Two only at this price! Serial Numbers XXXXXXXX and YYYYYYYYY only!". But at Mossy, they let me substitute a different color car from the two they named. That might have been because one of the specified cars had a big scratch on it and had been sent to the body shop the day before, so they used that as an excuse to swap it out and keep a customer (me) happy. Bob Baker is said to have four Camry LE's when it does this.
 
Camrys have a $1,000 cash rebate from Toyota, which ends April 3. The above superdeals include that, obviously. So I'd guess that deals after April 3 will have prices $1,000 higher. 2005 Siennas have college-graduate rebates of $400, but you have to show you just graduated from a college, and it ends today (March 31) anyway.
 
Does anyone know if any other Toyota dealers in other areas, do this? Either on Fridays or on some other day? Please post!

What do you think of $26,417(without CA tax.) for this? I know about the $750- rebate or 1.9 to 2.9 financing. This price does not have the $750 deducted.

New car warranties and selling a used car by alloy
Mar 31, 2005 (6:56 pm)

I'd like to get some input on two questions:
 
Does anyone have any pros or cons they can share about the extended warranties and car maintenance programs that you can purchase from Toyota? For a new car up to 5,000 miles, you can purchase an extended warranty costing a little more than $1800. I think it's good for 7 years or 10,000 miles. If you decide before the 7 years is up that you have not or do not want to use the warranty, then you can have your money refunded. Hence, it's no cost to you if you don't use it. However, I am leery about Toyota coming back to you after your 6th year or something and telling you that you can't get your warranty back for this reason or that, or because you did or didn't do this or that. Does anyone have any experience with that? How about the car maintenance program for about $1200.
 
My second question has to do with a used car. I drove my old car to the Toyota dealer hoping I could trade it in for a new car. The problem is that it didn't make it there. I don't quite know what's wrong with it, but it overheated and is burning oil. I don't know now whether it will even pass smog. Since I couldn't get it to the dealer, I couldn't get it appraised. The trade-in value is around $500. The private sale value is $1800, and the retail value is $3400. I know I have three choices: 1) donate it, but the new tax laws are not in my favour, 2) get it to the dealer and see if they'd give me much for it, 3) put money into it and sell it private party. I only thought I'd throw this question out there to see if anyone had any other creative ideas on what to do with this car. I went ahead and purchased a new Toyota despite not being able to do a trade-in for it.

You might want to visit our topic called Advice on selling your car. A lot of sales professionals hang out there, and can give you advice on the best way to get rid of your car and maximizing whatever $$ you can get out of it.

Sandy Springs Toyota dealer in Atlanta is the worst dealer I have seen!!! by azhua

I gave them my price to them for camery LE.At first they did not agree.But they called me at the end of March to tell me to pick the car at that price because they need to sell enough cars in that month.When I went there they refused to gave me that price,and cheated me to buy Camery basic with that price.You know why?Because they already sold enough cars before I arrived.
I was so angry because they played in this way.You know I called them before I drove to there place.They said:' come on to pick up your camery LE'.But they changed the decision in 1 hour(my dirving time).
Sandy Springs is most unhumanity dealer I have seen.You guys if do not want to be cheated by other people.Do not believe them at any time!!!
