Hello I'm in a search for a new camry LE 4 cylinder w/ sunroof only. I've been doing some research and reading helpful forums for a while and I'm thinking of 20,000 OTD to offer to dealers and trying to get the car for 21,000 OTD. Is this pretty resonable? I live in Hanover, MD which is near Annapolis. Thank you |

If you added the options at cost it would have been fair......adding them at MSRP makes it a sweet deal for the dealer (everything between cost and msrp is additional profit). If you want to, you can figure out each options cost, by creating a spreadsheet and looking at the details of many cars at www.fitzmall.com By looking at the different cars, you can back into how much the option adds both to the MSRP and the invoice cost. Fitzmall is selling at about 500-1000 under invoice cost at this point in time, depending upon model and age.

Replying to: razer01 (May 27, 2007 10:42 pm) Just saw a CE 5spd manual in the paper this morning, for $17,988 (TTL addn'l). To answer your SET question, I'm in NC which is also in the SET area, which adds about 600 to the cost of each vehicle that the dealership (and ultimately you) have to pay. |

Start with the Edmunds invoice for the car and options. Be prepared to walk out. Show them that you are serious and its not personal, its just business. If you walk out, call one time with a counter offer and make them call you back. They NEED to sell cars and you hold the money. Good Luck. |

Replying to: vlapinta (May 28, 2007 10:42 am) I would expect the 2007's price to drop further, as we approach the 2008's shipping.....but the inventory selection will drop as well. You'd probably be looking at about a 1K difference between the new 2008's price (less discounted initially) versus the 2007's. But, you'd have a 2007 car that is a year older already and depreciatively speaking would be worth less. This is a tough call, since when the new models start shipping you might not find them with the specific options you want, and that seems pretty important to you.

Replying to: kiawah (May 28, 2007 5:02 am) Does anyone know of a good dealer near Charlotte, NC? I may just make the drive to MD. I thought my offer would be accepted. I took fitzmall base price le w/mats and added the other options at MSRP then added tax, title, and fees. I am leaving room for dealer profit. Camry's must really be selling here.
