What was the Doc Fee as this is in the Southeast Toyota area and they always add on to their price. Eventhough it is a Maronne owned dealership, they still must pay Southeast Toyota prices. Have bought four Toyota's down here in Florida and was charged everytime. The Sandman

I went to a Toyota dealer last night in CT. The salesman, who I have known for a long time, told me that the $1000 rebates is gone on the Camry LE 08's and that the Prius is going for list price, that is what ever the sticker says, no discount.. Anybody know if there is going to be another rebate/special programs on the remaining o8's or even an 09 Camry?? I have not totally ruled out the Prius either.. The Camry Hybrid seems to have some issues with the battery staying charged, based on the reports from this site.. Have to admit, I gassed up the Dodge minivan last night.. $54.00 !!!! Dang!!!!  (

Everyone I personnally know with a Camry Hybrid (about 1/2 dozen) say it works just fine. It they want you to pay list for a Prius (insane), you can get a Camry Hybrid for the same amount; they are running $2-3K off MSRP for 2009; if you can find a 2008, you can get another $1,000 back. And yes, the feeling of getting nearly twice the mpg I was previous getting, in the same size care, is wonderful. |

Replying to: badtranny (Mar 18, 2008 3:17 pm) I did reconnect again with the same dealer in Seattle, the one who got a car in for me that had REPAIRED in the invoice. It turns out the bumper was repaired by Toyota but I had him bring in another car for me from about 5 hrs away. It will have about 300 miles due to the distance he's getting it from but atleast I don't have to drive, his driver is getting the car in, would be $125 below dealer invoice. Their dealer invoice includes holdback, tda and WFS, tried to negotiate with about 25 dealers, this is the best I got in Seattle area. Positive thing is that I will get an additional $400 off from the toyota grad program, so will be $525 below invoice in all.

Replying to: badtranny (Mar 18, 2008 3:17 pm) Last night in Massachusetts at least there was a Toyota commercial bragging about the $1K cash back on 08's. I have been all over the Camry hybrid groups, there is a larger one at another url and there is no problem with the battery charging. I have had a '08 Camry hybrid for about 6 weeks now; it is a phenomenal car they have achieved a fantastic balance between fuel economy yet with impressive power when you need it. And getting 40+ mph in a conventional looking car doesn't hurt either.  My wife has an '08 Lexus (ES350) and she now wishes she had bought a Camry hybrid instead. |

Replying to: vci15 (Mar 19, 2008 11:39 pm) Ultimately, we had to get the car from Eugene, worked with Burien Toyota and they had a driver fetch the car for us from Eugene, which played a major role since I didn't have to take a day off or go over the weekend to get the car, our prior car (Lexus GS 350) was totaled and we needed a new car pronto. No doubt, if I was not in a hurry, would have waited till end of month and then tried to get another 300-400 off but I tried that last month and didn't work out in seattle. On the positive side, got $400 off from toyota so total was $27427 for MSRP of $31188, dealer invoice was $28027. Plus they tacked on a doc charge which was not disclosed earlier so I had them give me a $50 gas voucher in lieu of the doc fee. All in all, we were pretty satisfied, its hard to commute with a single car in seattle when you have 2 people working with a daycare drop/pickup.

| 2009 Camry XLE w/ Leather pgk.,Vsc.,heated seats,.and 5 piece floor mat set.Msrp. $28,149 Their first offer was $25300. This would be the third car I bought from them, in jan. 03 I bought a 03 xle. w/ the only options being, side curtain air bags and floor mat set and glass breakage sensor and first aid kit Msrp. $23642. I bought the car for 20,500 the discount was $3142. If this is the car we decide to buy, my offer is going to be $24,800. No trade involved, straight sale. I feel I should get a bigger discount on a more expensive car. Opinions please. I am 1.5 hrs. from Fitzmall and this dealers price is the same as theirs. Thanks. | |

Replying to: r9973 (Mar 20, 2008 10:16 am) Last week I started asking for quotes from dealerships in the Portland area. All of them were giving me a quote of 500 dollar OVER invoice except for Gresham Toyota which straight off the bat gave me a price of 100 under invoice. I emailed other dealerships and all of them told me to go buy from Gresham Toyota. My mom really needed a car because her last car died and she needed a car to go to work but I was stuck in Eugene (maybe I should of tried the Eugene dealership also) because it was the weekend before finals and I couldn't afford to waste studying time to go to dealerships and spend all day negotiating. My mom got really anxious to get a new car but she has no knowledge on pricing or negotiating at all, so I just told her to go to Gresham Toyota and just tell them you'll only buy for 19,000. My mom ended up settling for 19400 but if I was there I probably would of gotten them to go down to 19,000 eventually.
