Replying to: vci15 (Mar 20, 2008 10:09 pm) I had gotten the lexus from Portland dealer last year but that was easy as I took the train to Portland and the dealer picked me up  the train station, spend 1.5 hrs the dealership and I was back home in 3 hours, total was less that 8 hrs in all. Eugene was an entirely different ball game and so was glad I only had to go to Burien to get the car. I tried all the major dealers in seattle, Toyota of Bellevue would not even come down from their invoice a bit, though they do offer 3 free services which probably is the same but I prefer to negotiate in the price vs getting 3 free services and they were not sure if they could fetch the car for me anyway.... Worst was lake city toyota, rude person named Jim Dawson. Once we finalized the price via email, he flipped the car on me, said that "for this price, you can only get this car", if you want the car we were talking about, then you need to pay more.  I was glad all this was via email, atleast didn't waste my time at the dealership. Same was toyota of kirkland, manager named CJ Singh, first he indicated he can match and under cut Burien Toyota but then after a day of discussion, backed out and said "come down, lets talk". I didn't waste my time anymore with him, a friend of mine had a similar experience, he went down to the dealership and they didn't give him the price they had discussed on the phone. Some of the seattle area dealers are very sneaky, got to be careful, Burien Toyota was a breeze to work with, everything was via email / phone and they really worked to get me the car I wanted. Obviously, they did make money but atleast it was easy for me. |

Has anyone gotten a good deal on the LE in Houston, TX? If so, please let me know what price you got it at and which dealership you got it from. Also, is it better to buy the '09 right now? |

I recently bought a Prius, 2008, package 5, list price was $28,464, I paid $24,504 BEFORE all taxes / fees. This was 86% of the list price. Using the same logic on the Camry (for my wife), the list price is $31186 - this is a leather, Nav, heated seats, ... car, so taking 86% of this puts me at $26,847. I will pay $800 for the 100K extended warranty, tax will be $2282, Doc Fee, $55, DMV electronic filing, $28, License, around $250, puts me at $30262 out the door. I will have a trade in also, -$3,500, so my cash price will be $26,762. Anyone see anything wrong with this thinking? sc

Replying to: scottc3 (Mar 24, 2008 2:09 pm) Also, that is the first heard of paying $28 extra for "DMV electronic filing." Might as well let them file by mail. There is no rush and, if anything, they probably should be discounting it rather than charging extra since it's a convenience to them. It's only a few extra dollars in a $24K transaction, but that actually makes it that more annoying for them to nickel and dime that fee since they can pay a flat $200 per month fee for all their cars. The $55 doc fee is already supposed to be paying for their time spent submitting the DMV paperwork. Now you get to be charged two fees. |

Replying to: scottc3 (Mar 24, 2008 2:09 pm) I agree with jaxs1 that comparing % of list price across cars does not work well. You have ot look at each model, and see what the market is for those. Right now, I have seen $4K off MSRP for 2008 and $3K off MSRP for 2009 Camry Hybrid (fully loaded). That should be the starting point for your negotiations. I've heard some people improve upon those numbers, depending on the region and the desperation of the sales force/dealer to make their sales numbers. |

We just bought a used '07 Camry LE 4D today in LA county. It has 28163 miles on it. Sticker was $16,988+fees The manufacturer warranty is 3yrs/36K so we knew we only had another 8K miles on it. We were offered an additional 4yrs/48K extended warranty for $1500. After haggling with the dealer for a bit, we were able to get the car for: $14,500+tax 8.25% (license fee was already covered for 1 yr) $1500 extended warranty Total: $16000+tax OTD: $17330 What do you guys think? Did we walk away with a decent deal? |
