| my MSRP is $21,504. The invoice the dealer showed to me is $19738. The selling price is 19,891. Then I got the $1000 rebate after everything is taxed. But I paid $153 over invoice. Most of the dealers charge me $300 over their invoice in the south. Their invoice including TDA, etc which is not included in Edmunds TMV. | |

| Live in NC -- second Toyota bought from Atlanta dealership in July, LE, 16900 plus 200 to drive it to me. Painless. | |
| In today's Dallas Morning News, there is an ad from Toyota Vandergriff in Arlington, Texas( suburb of Dallas). It says "save $3,000 off MSRP on '04 Camrys in stock. We've got 100 Camrys in stock." Unless it is a trick, it sounds like they have some good deals. This dealership was not open when I bought my 2003 Avalon in July and a used 2001 Camry for my son in August 2002 so I have no personal experience with them. However, the Oklahoma shoppers who are having trouble getting deals might want to give them a call and see if the prices are for real. | |

What is the name of the Dealership in Atlanta. Please let me know. Thanks for your input. I'll contact the dealer in Arlington. |

I have to agree, atlanta usually has pretty good pricing. Team toyota in atlanta is advertising on radio this weekend for le around 16,900. I assume that is auto with no options. Not sure if it is an 03 or 04. alpha--i bought from a SET dealer and had no problem with the etching, etc. I agree with you that SET sometimes forces options on in stock units, I have seen that before. Like on the highlander they order all of them with the towing prep pkg. On my camry, i had to order it anyway, so they did not try to add any of the junk and even in F&I they did not try to sell me anything extra at all. Just filled out the loan app, that was preapproved, odo statement and bill of sale. In and out in less than an hour. |

| CarsDirect and Atlanta Toyota both come back with a price of $22175 ($25310 list)for a 4cyl xle with the premium plus package. My local dealer in NJ won't come close to that price. Are these 2 dealers legit with their prices, or will there be suprises? Any other choices for "great" deals? | |

Are you REALLY going all the way to Atlanta to get a CAMRY? They sell 400,000 of these vehicles, and there are PLENTY of Toyota dealerships in NJ- where are you located? I'd recommend Dayton Toyota in South Brunswick. Who is your "local" Toyota dealer (really, in NJ, thats a relative term, as there are SOOO MANY in most areas). ~alpha |

I got a black Camry with no rear spoiler but with a sunroof instead. Beautiful car. Got for $2,500 under MSRP for $18,900.. The dearship had thougth they ordered an auto matic trans. but got a mual which was what I wanted and they what they did not want - therefore a great deal for me. Just did a speed test with it coming back from Greensboro (I-40)yesterday. The speed governor would not let me take it beyond 120 mph. Drove very well, but just don't that fast in traffic! I love "my car" |

The prices are legit, but you are right there are some gotchas to look out for. First, CD is not actually a dealer. They will take your order and then try to find the car at a local dealer that they are set up to do business with. One problem with this is that CD lets you create cars on paper that do not actually exist on any lots. The problem with CD is that I could not get a definative fixed price from them. I saw the price on the website, but when i called them (three different times) to see if this price included a doc fee or SET fee or TDA, I got three different answers and prices. As far as Atlanta Toyota goes, they do not have the best reputation in Atlanta. I am not slamming them as I have never done business with them, but the rumor in the area is that they are high pressure and use low balls alot. I did email them a few times on my camry xle purchase in April. They met my lowest price offer but then wanted to add a $499 doc fee (the highest I saw in the area). When i emailed them back and said that my price included the other dealers doc fee, i never heard back. They also kept wanting me to come in to talk as opposed to email. Treading lightly here as not to violate the member agreement, but there is another dealership in Atlanta near the real big piece of granite we have here (if you get my drift). This is where i ended up buying. If you go to their website, they have a pop up that advertises build your own car and then make a price offer. I did this. The invoice pricing tracked edmunds exactly. My car came to 22.3K invoice. I offered 22K and I get the 1K rebate and they accepted. I expected some tricks like Atlanta toyota had played with the doc fee,etc...but when i went in to order the car the price was the same. the only issue was that the salesman said by law they had to include the $379 doc fee for everyone, so he lowered my price by $379. So i ended up at 22k + TTL - 1K rebate. This was all handled through the dealerships internet dept. |

I do not know the market in NJ but it is quite reasonable to travel to the SE if you can save a few thousand dollars. I would not do it for a few hundred, but 1-2K I would consider it. For example this summer some Fl dealers were advertising le 4 cyl with auto for 15.5K. best price in my area was 17K for same car. I can fly a local carrier for about $200 round trip, one $59 a night hotel room, one day $59 rental car and the dealers were quoting $600 to transport to my area. Even with all that expense I save over $500 and if I want to drive it back I save well over 1K. |
