Here is the message. You only had to go back a few pages to find it.
 
Dealer in Marin California has been running an ad for 2008 Camry Hybrid with $4521 off MSRP of $31119 for a sale price of $26598 plus a $1000 rebate for final price of $25598. I have never bought a car there and made the mistake of giving them my phone number. They never called when they were running these ads( I wanted $4000 off MSRP last Nov) but did call all the time when they were priced higher. Good price but don't give them your phone number.

There are only two dealers in Marin - San Rafael and Novato.
 
I had had extensive conversation with both, and there is no way they will even get close to that price. Based on conversations I've had with friends who have bought there, they do a little bait and switch/teaser activity. Suckering the supposedly rich Marinites tends to be their MO.
 
Moreover, I have visited both of these dealers in person (I am in the SF Bay Area), and they won't budge much (at least over the past month). Most are in the 28,500-28,900 range (before rebate on 2008).
 
$4,000 off MSRP on a 2008 or $3,000 off MSRP for a 2009 might be tough, but you can get $3,200 off without much fuss ($2,200 for 2009).
 
(2009 MSRP of a maxed Camry Hybrid is $31,070)
 
The lowest I've seen is $28,200 for either 2008 or 2009. (not inlcuding $1,000 rebate for 2008.)
 
I guess the "slow" economy isn't affecting these cars much; I know if I wanted a Chevy Malibu or Ford, I could deal.

Thanks for the info. Test drove the LE and TCH today. Decided that I like the TCH w/ Nav, leather, moonroof and mats. Thinking of offering 29.5K OTD for the 2008 TCH. 7% sales tax where I live.
 
Any thoughts on this offer?
 
Any input is greatly appreciated.

$29.5K including the 7% tax, and license and doc fees?
 
That would be about 27,575. Not sure what state you are in; in CA license and doc is about $350.
 
So that would be about 27,200.
 
You may be able to get a 2008 for that price, (including $1,000 rebate), but not a 2009.
 
If you can get a 2009 for that price, you are getting a great deal.

Thanks for the input. I guess I wasn't clear. A 2008 TCH is what I am looking for.
 
Thanks

All those fees are indeed taxable - but the tax was presented incorrectly in order to get the numbers to work.
 
I'm not complaining. I paid exactly what I agreed to pay so I'm a happy guy. I just found it in amusing/interesting that the numbers were presented that way.

I bought a 2008 Camry Hybrid in the Boston area about a month ago.
 
I didn't want Nav, but everything else.
 
I ended up paying $25.5

2008 Camry Quote... Good Deal? by vci15

I got a quote on a basic white 08 Camry LE with carpeted floors, their price quoted to me was 100 under invoice at 19,966 so they're claiming their invoice is 20,066 on a car that has a MSRP of 21,934
 
Here is a breakdown of the charges added to the get to that invoice price
 
Destination Charge ..........................: $ 660.00
TDA .........................................: $ 410.00
Gasoline ....................................: $ 10.00
Dealer Holdback .............................: $ 421.00
Whsl. Financial Reserve .....................: $ 210.00
                                                           --------- ---------
Total .......................................Invoice $ 20066.00 MSRP $ 21934.00
 
Their price is like 300-600 dollars lower than any other dealer that has offered me and I've called the other deals to try to get them to go lower but all of them are telling me to go buy it at that price. Am I getting a good deal from this dealer or should I haggle down even more. I'm thinking of paying around 19000-19500, is that possible? The only incentives available right now is the 0% APR 36 Months

Well if I'm reading your post right they basically are charging you dealer holdback which is money they get back from Toyota so in essence they are collecting twice on the same thing. The 09's are on the lot so you definitely should target no more than $19000.00.

I should have been more clear in my post that the $25.5K for the 2008 was not including the $1K cash back so the amount I paid the dealer was $24.5K (again my car has all options except for navigation).
 
Even with all the internet information I still never quite know exactly how much the dealer is getting. They do seem to still be more pliable closer to month-end. I end up backing into what is a good price by how other dealers react, so if they are basically telling you they don't want to match the deal then it can't be that bad. On the other hand with the skittishness in the economy right now plus of course they want to get rid of the 08's, so you should have some leverage. Depending on how badly you want this car you could tell them that they've got a deal if they'll drop it by $500 otherwise you need more time to think it over. Assuming the car is still available in a few weeks which it probably will be, you could talk to them again at month end. My guess is they'll call you before then
