ABOUT TO BUY A NEW CAMRY by mcseri
Nov 30, 2006 (2:58 pm)
Reply
I am about to purchase a brand new 2007 Camry in the Naperville, IL area and I am curious to know of any top notch dealerships that may offer me a great deal. I am shooting for $100 over invoice. However, I am curious, how should I calculate the destination fee. How much is it and should it be included when I a bargaining for $100 over invoice.
 
Thanks for all your help!!!

zippy786 lol, was the finance mangager extremely persuasive abouut getting those extras? Was it a she, a quite attractive she at that? They almost always seem to be. lol... Yes, my $34,500 included "free paint sealant, three free key chains (whoo hooo!), two free oil changes, a bottle of red wine, and a paint touch-up pen.
 
I ended up leaving the downtown core to go towards my old home town and to Whitby Toyota. My parents are still in Durham region and I always dealt with them in the past servicing my old Avalon when I would visit my parents... so, I knew the price I wanted from asking/looking around, called a salesman I kinda knew there from being there so much, and told him this is the model and option I want, if he gives me my price, I'll be in next week to sign the deal...
 
As for the Nav, how is it? Easy to use? Look good? I bought a can of scotchgaurd for leather and applied it to the Camry's interior. Don't know if it works yet, but it didn't ruin it either.

Do some legwork and read most of the posts (4,400+) in this forum.

drjames... nah... I just got carried away... They got me in the door talkin to them b/c they had advertised that they wre giving the nav system for free... but when the deal came to this low of a profit - they told me that their cost was $700.
 
I know I paid over on the nav, but do you know if I got a fair deal on the package for 700? Or did I pay too much for that too? I just wanted to protect my investment of $30k+ so didn't pay attention...
 
Looks like you are the one who beat me on the deal man! I think I had gone to Whitby, but they weren't willing to budge off the MSRP.
 
Nav is cool - As I am new, i felt like having icecream tonight so went down to Baskin Robbins, hehe The nav took me through a shortcut through some neighborhood. At first I thought the machine was crazy, but when I came out right in front of BR, I was pleased
 
There is a drawback though - As it is satellite operated, it does not speak the name of the streets where you need to turn. I still have to play around with it to make sure that I reallly like it. Love my car though!

zippy786, $700 is actually pretty good, considering rust proofing is a $500 dollar stand alone option and the paint sealant goes for something like $300, and interior protection goes for $200 or something... so, bundled together... they gave you a slight deal. All said, atleast you know that cosmetically, your new car is protected for a very long time. In all honesty, I've been considering going aftermarket rust proofing, need to find out who Toyota dealerships sends their cars out to... since I'd like to have them do it, should be considerbly cheaper than getting it from the dealership. But, first thing's first... gotta get some tint on the windows. I'm also considering getting the 3M clear bra applied to the front end, but don't know if it's really worth it.
 
lol, if you're not sure about the neighbourhoods in TO, maybe it's not the best thing for you to "blindly" follow the Nav since it might take you through some of the lesser neighbourhoods like High Park or Jane/Finch lol. So where is your Nav system mounted? Is it just sitting on the dash? How does it look. I kinda wish we could get the factory Nav system they get in the states... though it isn't very cheap either...
 
Glad you're loving your car. It's no longer 'new' for me, but I still find myself babying this car more than usual.

Extended warranty by mboliver

What is your opinion on the 7yr 100k mile warranty for the 2007 camry? I will put that many miles on it in about 3.5 years. Do you think it's work $900? That's what the dealer's offering me. Please let me hear your opinions!

OTD or invoice by tnsig

Do you all think it's better to negotiate the price based on the out the door price or is it better to negotiate the price based on a dollar amount over invoice (or a percentage over invoice...ie 1%)?
 
So for example if I want to buy an XLE V6 with Nav with an MSRP of $31,500 (approx.)should I work towards 100 over invoice (as an example) or should I work for $29500 out the door. These figures are purely for example.
 
What do you all think?

Definately from invoice up. You need to position it how much more you're giving them, not how much you want them to discount it. Good luck!

I would not pay extra for a warranty on a Toyota.
That car should run for 100,000 mile++ without any problem other than regular maintenance. Don't waste your money.
