Replying to: rraja (Feb 24, 2007 3:39 pm) No it will not, the dealer will probably be using Classic Soft Trim to install the leather, the package is made the Camry and has seems built in for the side airbags. Dealer can not install anything that will conflict with warranty. after market leather is better quality as well and they will give you longer warranty as well.

#4945 of 6661 Camry Hybrid Price Paid by need_a_new_car Feb 26, 2007 (10:36 pm)
It's amazing to me that bad sales people still exist, and apparently thrive, given the amount of competition there is out there. So I guess it should come as no surprise when I visited Keyes Toyota in Van Nuys that their sales person was terrible. He was unfamiliar with the product - to an astonishing degree - I'm not splitting hairs here he couldn't answer basic questions about the vehicle. I believe he even got the warranty information wrong on the battery. Even so it is a close dealership and my wife and I didn't want to look to hard so we asked about pricing. We were ready to buy and almost any reasonable response would have closed us, instead he acted as if selling me the vehicle ABOVE MSRP would be doing me a favor. Needless to say we started to shop elsewhere. I had a similar experience when we bought our E-Class at a Keyes dealership so I am saddened to say it is a corporate culture issue.   I made a few calls, found the car we wanted at Northridge Toyota spoke with their Internet department and made an appointment to come in. We had to postpone a day but called in advance the next morning to be sure the salesman would be there, so we confirmed our appointment for mid-afternoon. He acted as if there were no changes from our previous conversations. Needless to say when we got there he took us out to the lot showed us a different color combination and confessed they had sold our car the day before. He had my number, and had he called to give me a heads-up we would have come out and looked at different colors, but by manipulating me into coming out to the dealership so that he could get paid for booking an appointment he lost my business.   I was beginning to lose hope when I called Longo in El Monte and spoke a fleet manager who shares the first name of a Nintendo game character "Super M... Brothers". M was like a breath of fresh air. He didn't try and play games, he shot straight with me and he gave me a great price fast. But you be the judge of it: 2007 Camry Hybrid loaded: MSRP $31,458 - "Super M" price $28,000 period. No hidden fees or additional charges (obviously I had to pay TTL). My experience at the dealership was exceptional we were in and out in 90-minutes. Including time we spent checking out the car. I am a believer. Codes on car are: CQ, LA, NV, SR, CF, V4.

Replying to: tnsig (Feb 08, 2007 9:18 am) I think it varies by dealer and salesman. My wife and I got several long test drives the past Friday/Saturday after: 1) saying we were close to deciding, 2) specifying the vehicles we were torn between, and 3) simply asking what was the longest possible test drive. Result--Continental Toyota (Chicago) gave us the keys (after photocopying license and insurance card) for separate 3-4 hr test drives of both an Avalon and a Camry XLE. Also took a shorter drive in a Hybrid (alone again). Napleton Acura gave us 24 hours with a TL, requesting only that we keep the total miles under 90...I could hardly believe it. (The TL ride was much firmer (rougher) than I expected--broke my heart as it is a fabulous car otherwise and I had been set to buy one) We were running out of time when we got to Honda and settled for the 10 minute drive with the Accord salesman. After the prior experiences I was almost surprised when he got in the backseat.   Another suggestion...do the visit during a busy time (Saturday) when the salesman might be more distracted and less inclined to ride along.
#4947 of 6661 AMT issues by wvgasguy Feb 27, 2007 (12:25 pm)
Well, I just did my taxes and as I thought I was able to claim the full $2600 tax credit on my Federal Tax Return. There are a lot of folks out there throwing out a scare that most people won't be able to claim this because of the Alternative Minimum Tax issue. Granted a lot of people won't be able to, but I'm guessing most of them already know who they are.   It's not so much about income I don't believe than it is about the type of deductions you claim. My guess is that most Californians who are griping are probably stuck with high mortage interest (same for any large metropolitian area I assume) with the high cost of real estate. Although I understand that small business owners may have issues as well.   My income was in (well, it's a lot higher than average) and I still didn't have to pay the AMT.   It is something that everyone should have checked into if they were expecting the credit, but I don't think it's a big issue (except as always to those that are affected).

Replying to: wvgasguy (Feb 27, 2007 12:25 pm) It's income as well. If you have high enough income and minimal deductions, AMT still throttles back what deductions you do have, as well as throttles back the amount each exemption is worth.

Replying to: wildcats2 (Feb 26, 2007 9:33 am) I bought a basic Camry Hybrid in November. I paid sticker, about $26,500. Its white. I really wanted silver. The dealer has a silver TCH on the way. I can't find any reference to the trade-in value of an '07 TCH. It only has 2900 miles on it. I know I should have just hung on until a silver one arrived. Anyway, whats done is done. Opinions on trade in values and what to expect are appreciated. The new one is a basic TCH at about $27,000. Thanks.
#4950 of 6661 CE Manual Tranny by mcdawgg Feb 28, 2007 (6:56 am)
We got a new ’07 Camry CE with a manual transmission for $18,050. This includes the carpet floor/trunk mats and destination charge. This does not include tax and $90.00 in tag/document fees.   Very happy with everything, especially getting a Camry with a stick shift!! Replies to this message: regal1945 (Feb 28, 2007 4:12 pm)
