Hi, We're looking to buy a Camry 07 SE with V6 as engine. With all the problems I have read about the 4 cylinders on this car , I decided it would be better to go with a V6. The options we want are leather seats, 18' wheels and vehicle stability control. We don't want the other options. We're in the Potomac area, Maryland. So I'm wondering what the price of a similarly equipped car someone has recently paid in the area of Washington DC/North Virginia? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Phuc |

looking at an XLE, 4cyl, leather, VSC in central New Jersey. Both dealers started at $1000-1100 off msrp. This seems pretty high for a camry since there is about a $3000 difference between msrp and invoice. List price of the car is $27,708. What would be a fair offer now? I did notice that the supply of camrys on the lots has been low, any ideas on this?

Replying to: rutger3 (Nov 06, 2006 12:31 pm) With the options you stated plus Heated Seats, Mats and wheel locks, this car is only $27,724 MSRP - buy for $25,242. link title Sounds like you need to go back and read this forum if you want a better price. |

Hello there - I checked out the 2007 Camry Hybrid at two Atlanta-area dealerships today and am wondering what kind of deals/experiences others have had. Just looking for the basics on the car, no fancy options. (except leather!). Is he NAV system worth the extra outlay? I am also looking at Lexus IS 250, which is a lot snazzier and more comfortable (but a lot more expensive to buy and maintain, plus lower gas mileage). Thanks for the help and advice.

Well... it's for my sister, just a plain LE, automatic w/o extra options except the floor mats. It was the best price we could find around here at this time in So. Calif areas. She downed 10K and financed the rest thru her bank at 5.75%. However, I think we overpaid on extended warrany. I had no ideas what it should cost but remember it was about $1,600 when I ask for it early this year for my Camry '03. I kept saying no and prepared to talk tough to finish off the paperwork but she (women you know, easily to be convinced and always worry about safety) kept asking and about it and finally agreed to buy. The guy fist quoted it at $1795 then down to $1400 and $1300. I thought it could be at $1000 or max at $1200 but it was her car and she wanted to go home soon (think she's a bit sick standing outside in the cold looking for right color). I didn't bother to check its price before going since I didn't plan to get it. If you do, toyotawarranty.com has it at $1,170 now and you can wait till end of your 36mons or 36,000 whichever comes first to buy. The price may go up a bit by then though. Lessons learned: #1) You can easily find a lower price by using online quote and sending emails to dealer asking them to beat prices. This way you get lowest possible and know what options you will get in advance. #2) 2nd negotiation battle is at the finnance guy's table. This is for the alram, and warranty, extra accessories blah blah... Saleman on the lot or internet manager only deal with price and built-in options. You have to say no and sometimes be rude to stop them from pressuring. I believe the lowest price you can get for warranty here will depends on how much you paid for your car. If you already paid low then they will try to make up by selling you higher warranty. #3) If you're a guy buying for your sister, gf or mom and bring her w/ you, hahah... make sure you taught her to say no, no like in that Captical One TV commercial, lolz. It's hard to bargain when you have disagreement within your own family. That's my buying experience... I won't have another one for a year or so. And oh, her Camry is built in Oct so probably won't have that transmission problem. About the warranty, I don't think we can cancel it now, right? Already drove the car home. But anyway, it's really not my money  The payment comes out still under the max she can afford so she's still cool about it even I told her she overpaid on ext. warranty, lolz... Thanks everyone here for your advices. PS. She got the 84mon/100K Platinum, $0 ded. for $1,300. This can definitely be lower. Someone here reported they got same mon/mile amount for $800 (not sure if it's Platium or Gold level) Another buyer said he/she shopped around at dealers and lowest they could get was $1,275. So I really have no ideas what its true price is. Best strategy for you is to say no and get it later.

Replying to: georgia411 (Nov 11, 2006 7:05 pm) 1. Keys - How many do you get when you purchase? The unit I drove had that push button start and I imiagine the keys are pretty expenive to replace 2. NAV system - How are the maps updated? Do you have to go back and purchase disks to update the system and if so, how much do they cost? As I said, I am also looking at the Lexus !S 250, which is more plush, but will probably cost me more in the end (higher cost to buy and maintain). Thanks for the advice |
