"port installed option" means that when a SE Toyota dealership vehicle arrives at the port (i.e. Jacksonville, FL or Brunswick, GA) it gets a list of items that the SE dealer has requested to be added. Some dealers that are less greedy can work a deal and have these "port installed options" removed where others do not.
 
As a matter of fact, today I confirmed that I will not get the following port installed options:
 
1. IL10 (Interior Lights -- $249)
2. TW50 (Window Tint -- $259)
 
I also did verify (in their NEW TOYOTA INVENTORY) that the MSRP changed from $31,973.00 down to $31,465.00 = ($31,973.00 - $249 - 259)
 
BTW, I did get the port installed XY40 as I have seen on my other vehicles big difference the one that had it with the ones that did not...
 
XY40 $619 consists of:
 
1. Exterior Paint Sealant
   
2. Glass Etch Theft Deterrent
   
3. Interior Fabric Protector
   
4. Toyo Guard Sealant Cleaner
   
5. Undercoating/Sound Shield
  
 
  
 
I hope this helps...

I know many of you are stuck getting this, but it seems like the only value here is the $50 wax job and the $10 scotch guard. Personally I don't want the undercoating on a car that is undercoated from the factory already.
 
As far as etching if someone steals my car and does who knows what with it I would just as soon get a new one and hope they never find the old one.

Agnosto,
 
Thank You for the prompt response. I guess there are some options that can NOT be removed such as undercoating or paint sealant. So if a Camry is built in Georgetown, KY can it have port installed options?

Some options could be removed but it is entirely to dealership's discretion whether to install them or not when the vehicle arrives at the port.
Although I am not sure what the process is in GeorgeTown KY, I do believe it would be pretty much the same, except the ToyoGuard but not sure though...

Buy Camry = buy at an auction ??? by basskey

Hi,
I was at a Toyota Dealer in the Bay area, and here was the story I was told.
I put in a deposit for the Camry now, at which time the dealer orders the Camry.
Once the Camry arrives, the negotiation for the Camry is done at that point in time with the Camry in his lot(and there are hardly any LEs in his lot). Here the Minimum Price is 21,300 for LE - AT with Moonroof (Invoice as per dealer), and the max price is the MSRP.
At that point if there is another consumer prepared to pay more than me for the car I wanted, he gets preference and I go back in line.
This kind of a market almost appears like a strong sellers market, almost akin to buying houses in the bay area with buyers over-bidding on each other.
Is it that bad, and if it is, is it worth it?

Sounds like they need to get rid of their sales staff and just auction their cars off on eBay.

I am not sure about the entire auction atmosphere that you are mentioning. I ordered an SE, which will be arriving in a month, and the car will be labeled as "SOLD", and no one will be able to drive or touch it except me. Basically, I have the right of first refusal on it (which of course is nice, but I want the car obviously). So if this is what the dealer told you, then perhaps you should look elsewhere.

SE for $35,000 ?? by mawizard

I've been talking to a dealer in CT for my fully loaded SE V6. It's been close to 2 months since the car was ordered. It's scheduled to arrive soon. Now the dealer says Camry's are being sold on premium prices and by the time my SE hits the road it might cost me $ 35,000. I'm planning to lease this car. Why should I pay 35 for a camry ? Any similar experiences with SE V6 ?

I wouldn't, that puts you in the range of a Lexus ES350.
 
I'll assume they ordered it into stock (even though for you), but you had no written deal.
 
This is a nice car but it's NO $35,000 car. There are other options in that range that I would consider.

If I were you, I would get a fully loaded Infiniti G35 sedan for around $32K OTD. A significantly better car than the camry SE in terms of handling, engine, acceleration, HP etc. Your dealer is just trying to take you for a BIG ride!! If you want a camry, I would strongly suggest that you go to another dealer who is not trying to swindle you.
