Thanks for the response...Albany,NY. I am going to offer based on Consumers Reports Wholesale Price which is $22,120 less the 580 dest. The dealer offered $23,485+580=24065. I had seen Fitzmall and wish they were closer..seems pretty legit as opposed to the clowns around here. I am going to try to buy the car for $22,617+580=$23,197. If I can't get my price I can always go up. I am $868 away from the dealer. There is a $489 holdback on the car and the dealer invoice, according to consumers is $22,609.00
Do you like the car??....Best of luck with it....

Love mine. No rattles, hesitation or fit problems.
It's quiet, competent with good fuel economy.
Good luck! Be ready to go up if you want the car. They are at about $800 above their invoice.
All those consumers report figures are irrelevant on a new popular model.
If it was me, I wouldn't pay more than $23,600 total.

my price is $800 more than yours 
I am getting the metallic grey. I am still not sure if I will get it finally. The comments in the "woes" section bothers me a lot. This will be my first new car. I am quite upset already.

Well you have to consider the difference in taxes, plus i might not even have mats from what i find out now  and im going to be adding a spoiler. so at the end you still have a pretty good deal. but the comments in the woes section bother me too, but i guess i really didnt experience the woes on the same level as the others. its also hard for me to take others word for things i rather test drive it and decide for myself

yeah..thats kinda right that all the cars will be different..but this is my first car...and as a "just graduated student" ...if anything is wrong..it is going to come to me heavily as compared to some other people who drove few new cars already..
I spoke to my dealer..he said if I don't want it, I can still cancel the deal..so I am debating...if I cancel this camry..there are no other cars in the market that I like...honda is boring and nissan do not give you much in the base price.. so I am thinking..
Did you see what Damon34 and kiawah wrote about their cars? If they are right, I will be completely screwed up.

Camry Market Fluidity

Does anyone know if Toyota dealers will go ahead and process the whole deal, trade in, etc, and order the Camry and provide you with a program car while they build yours? I have heard of other dealers doing that but didn't know if Toyota does.
Does anyone know the Camry market well? I am wanting to know if it gets more fluid in December like most markets do. Reason being I am ordering one and it is suppose to be here about that time frame. They said they would work with me on the price if the market was more fluid then but I am wondering if I should just go ahead and do the deal. Seems like prices are going up instead of down.

I have been trying to buy a Camry XLE. I have done all my homework as to price, etc. Subsribe to Consumers Reports for 3 months to get all the price info I need. I have made offers to a few dealers, giving them profit and I have had the car buying nonsense attempted to be pulled. Glad that I don't buy cars often because the process is a disgrace. Bottom line..the Camry is a "hot" car and the dealers feel no pressure to sell unless they get their price. If you feel comfortable with the deal...did you research cost? If you feel comfortable buy...if not walk away. These cars are too pricey to have a bad taste when you purchase..don't fall in love with any car because if you do you will be doomed to be abused by some dealers.
I have made a final offer on the XLE and if I don't get my price I don't buy..I have upped my price but it is time to dig in. They would make, according to my figures about 900 profit on the sale...if they don't want it thats fine...eventually I will buy the car for my price and if I don't who cares. If you feel you are paying too much and that bothers you then do not buy the car IMHO.
You cannot find a car on a lot that meets your needs??? Try Fitzgerald Auto Malls....pretty concise auto site with seemingly no games. If I lived closer to them I would be a customer. All cars should be sold as they do..instead of all the lies and bs that goes on.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have done a lot of homework and the price is decent although I think they could come down more. Right now I have them about half way between invoice and MSRP on the car. Is the consumer reports pricing different than what you find on kbb.com? I didn't want to pay the money for the report if it was going to tell me the same thing. No, I can't find a manual shift with leather seats, sunroof and aluminum wheels for the price I can order it for in an LE. I can't afford the XLE model either. Thought about the SE but it would cost me another 1300 and they don't have a manual around here. Fitzmall is pretty far for me. I am in TX. But I did call them for a quote to order and they gave me the same price my dealer here did.

consumers shows the invoice price to be about 350 less...for the XLE, 4 cyl, cloth, stability control, and floor mats....it also shows the hold back on the car. I am still waiting to hear if my offer was accepted..the sales rep had quoted me their final offer at $24,065 which includes the dest charge....my final offer is $23,412 incl the dest. If I can't get it for that price I am done for now....by my calculations they are making approx. 1292....which IMHO is fair enough. Now, I will wait until DEC to buy a car when their business slows down...and try again. Unless of course I see a better advertised deal which I will as the economy slows down and cars slow down with it. I believe it will become a buyers market very soon, and if the Camry stays hot I will just have to find another car to buy..the new Altima is out in Nov..always deals to be had..right place and right time is all...
