Replying to: doug52 (May 10, 2007 1:59 pm) I agree, I don't need a power seat, and I can add keyless for about $200, so it makes no sense $$$ to get the LE. In my opinion, the manual transmission is the only way to go on any car! Now, most people don't agree (the wife would rather have automatic), but considering the money savings, it is worth it. Resale is at least 10 years (150,000+ miles) away, so the resale value reduction for the manual is not worth considering. Besides, if the automatic fails, it a big expense compared to a clutch replacement. No problems to report, other than a minor interior rattle, but only when really cold, and even then it goes away after the car is driven a few miles. Let me know if you have any other questions. Good Luck! |

Here is the info on the Camry I am looking at. Does anyone know how to break down these fees and tell me what I should really pay for this car? THank you so much! CAMRY CE : Base retail: Retail: $19520.00 Dealer: $17275.00 Carpet/trunk mat: Retail: $199.00 Dealer: $126.00. Destination Charge $620. TDA???: $320 Gasoline: $10 Dealer Holdback:$390 Whlsl. Financial Reserve: $ 195.00 TOTAL: $18936.00 Ok, I live in NJ and the tax is 7%.That price with tax is $20,261.52. They said this price would be $100 below invoice. I was given the OUT OF THE DOOR PRICE as $20,816.06. EVERYTHING INCLUDED no other fees at all. Is this a good price. What can I work on to get this price lower. THANKS AGAIN !!!

Replying to: timmush (May 11, 2007 11:40 am) The key for you to get a better and maybe more honest deal is to get quotes from some more dealerships. Out-the-door (OTD) price (including Tax and Fees) should be between $19,000 and $20,000. The max OTD price you should pay is $20,000, so don't let this dealership "take you to school"! Tell them you know all about these bogus fees and if they don't drop them, you'll take your business elsewhere. Actually, just on the gasoline deal alone, I would take my business elsewhere. Good Luck!!! |

ok, i was at the dealership for a few hours today. the lowest I could get for a Camry LE was 19710. which had an out the door price of $21,651.20. I told them I couldn't do it, they said they were losing money on the deal (yeah right) but I offered $20999 cash and they couldn't do it. I told them I was leaving, thought they would give it to me but no, so, I walked. OK,,, how can I get this car for what you are saying. I actually think I would want the CE now so I think it should be about $1400 less, so now we are talking $18600. Is that possible, because the other place said there is no way it could be done.

Replying to: timmush (May 12, 2007 11:33 am) tim, Where are you located, and what were the elements of the markups on top of the dealers price? That dealer offer is 900 more than you can pick it up at no-haggle Fitzmall. If your dealer offer had other admin fees on top of that, you could save even more! Take a vacation to DC. |

Replying to: timmush (May 12, 2007 11:33 am) As for the CE, it's possible to get an OTD price of $18,600, but it will be very tough. As in my previous post, the realistic range is between $19,000 and $20,000. Most people get it for $19,500 with almost no problem. I don't know how many Toyota dealerships are around where you live, but just get quotes from all of them, and use the lowest quote as your starting point and ask the other dealerships if they can beat it or not. Also, tell them that you know people are getting the LE out-the-door for around $20,000 and the CE for around $19,000 and you want the same deal. Just be patient, and they will come to your price. Every month that vehicle sits on their lot, they are losing around $300. Also, if you don't mind going to another state to purchase your vehicle, get quotes from PA and MD dealerships as well. They'll be glad to sell you their vehicles as well. The more ammo you have, the more you can shoot down the price. |

Replying to: amirk (May 09, 2007 8:57 am) Dealer Cost = Invoice - 3% Hold Back - Manufacturer-To-Dealer Incentive. There are a few more pieces to the formula like other Special Incentives and Dealer Floor Plan Interest, but you can just lump them all in as part of the Manufacturer-To-Dealer Incentive category. That's the piece that we consumers are unsure about because it varies month to month. |

Replying to: nighthawk326 (May 12, 2007 12:15 pm) anyway. The car was a base model LE. . THey said $19,710 was the cost of the car to me, with tax (I AM IN NJ) and other fees-tire fee 7.50, Registration (254) and DOc fee (299.50) out the door price was $21,651. they wouldn't go any lower. I dont know the MSRP on the vehicle but it only had floor mats, that is it. So know I decided on a base model CE. I have sent 7 emails to different Toyota dealers and no one says they can beat the $20,816 out of pocket for a CE |
