Replying to: thetxstang (Dec 19, 2006 6:05 pm) SET is just 5 states - Alabama, Florida, Georgia, NC and SC. The Gulf States region is AR, LA, MS, OK, and TX. The Gulf States region is just slightly better than the SET as far as added $$ and useless high margin package add ons. |

Started my search Monday morning for '07 LE 4 cyl. Auto. with VSC and floor mats. Turns out there aren't any LE's with VSC within a 5-state region of me. I guess they're not making it even though the literature says you can get it. So I bought an LE with just floor mats/ cargo mat in Desert Sand from Quality Toyota in Independence, KS. Paid exactly $20K OTD. Doesn't include tag and tax since we pay that later at the tag office in OK. |

Haven't checked the papers for ads recently but a month ago in St. Louis, Camry LE 4 Cyl. automatics were going for about $19K + TTL. I paid $19,188 plus $125 in fees so it was $19313. I think there were some ads for them about $100 less. Kind of surprised by what people are recently paying. |

I posted here a few weeks ago regarding my upcoming plans to purchase a 2007 XLE V6 in January. My plans remain intact, with the only exception being that I'll be ready, check in hand, to purchase on or around December 29th instead of in January. I'm still planning on doing it online, and as the time draws nearer for me to send out the e-mail(s), I find I'm unclear on just how to word my request for an OTD quote. My question is this: When I ask for the lowest OTD quote, should I specifically ask that they include TTL, do I ask for their quote excluding TTL, or does the term "OTD" inherently imply that TTL is included/excluded? If so, which one is it? I've gone to the AAA website to get a general idea of what CA TTL would be - I want to be as informed as possible - but I'm just not sure if I'm supposed to add this to their quote, or if their OTD quote includes it. Is there a certain way to word my request to insure we're all on the same page and clear? As an aside, I've already test-driven a car; I've been pre-approved for financing; and I won't be trading in a vehicle. As before, I thank you in advance for your input, Catherine

Ask for sales and briefly introduce yourself and your intentions of buying on a specific date and it being a cash purchase. I'd tell them exactly what model, trim, options, and colours and tell them you're contacting all local dealers for their best out the door price. I'd ask them to get back to me within a few days, and who ever offered the best OTD price would earn my business. In the past doing this, I've had great results where some dealers began calling each other to try and beat each other for a sure commission, others can't or won't release an offical discounted price via phone/fax/email.... but always ended up with a price I was very happy with. Anyways, best of luck. |

Replying to: catalina101 (Dec 20, 2006 8:45 pm) I don't think it will matter unless the taxes are different in the areas you are considering the purchase. If however the taxes are based on where you live and not where you buy then they will all be the same. The processing fees are what could be different, so I would indeed state you want an itemized lowest quote with all taxes and fees included and itemized in the quote. That way if some dealer (as some have stated) want $399 instead of $99 for their paperwork, you'll know who's padding their quote with what use to be industry standard fees that you never even saw until you wrote the check. I would emphasize to them that you indeed want to purchase that week and the car must be available on the lot (if that's what you desire). If you are considering several dealers and they each have a car with different equipment you'll need a copy or detailed listing of the cars options with the MSRP of each option (or just a faxed copy of the window sticker). If one dealer has a loaded one and one has a semi loaded one, the best deal may be harder to determine and you'll have to study the options and quote. You may be able to pay a little more but get options that would cost a lot more from the low bid dealer that is quoting a lesser equipped car. Your dealers may all have a car just like you want as they probably have a larger inventory, I don't have that luxury as in rural states you either order it or take what they have available as the next dealer may not be close by.
