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

My Deal by godwheel

Hello guys,
 
After much haggling yesterday, I got the following deal (though is pending "management" approval):
 
NEW 2008 4cyl Camry LE AUTO in Magnetic Gray with Bisque Interior
$20,000 OTD (7% tax included OTD)
 
I haven't signed the deal yet so I can't break it down. I will once everything goes through.
 
Also FYI, got these other deals from other dealers around my area:
 
$20,585 OTD
$20,698 OTD
 
The 2008 V6 I couldn't get them down below the low $23,000s so I gave up on that.
 
I think I did great. What do you guys think?
 
It will all depend now if they are willing to give me full KBB value for my trade-in since I will be upside-down even then.
 
I got a lot of "its impossible" and "thats crazy" and "I don't think you understand what out the door is". Keep trying and show them the Edmunds TMV that quickly brought them down to the $20,500 range. Remember, the dealer needs your money more than you need their car.
 
Good luck and I'll report back!

I went by a local dealership to pickup a TCH in barcelona red with almost all options, pretty much loaded, MSRP 31850, dealer agreed to $150 below dealer invoice which included holdback and all. Almost got it done, when I noticed that the dealer invoice had "REPAIRED" in the damage section.
 
Upon asking, he indicated that the car had a 1 scratch on the bumper which he showed me and that would be repaired by his auto dept. But I could not obtain any paperwork from him that would provide an audit trail to indicate that this was what the invoice damage "REPAIRED" was referring to. He tried to convince me but in the end I backed out, not sure if I let go of a good deal or it was better to let it go, didn't want to buy a 30k car with status repaired.
 
Anyone have any idea what "REPAIRED" could have referred to? My take was that something was repaired but the dealer had no idea what it was, so better to let it go, the car was obtained from another dealer since this dealer did not have it in stock.
