Hi!
I want to ask your opinion on this quote I just got from the Toyota dealer:
For 2009 Camry LE with moonroof = $21,498 (incl.TTL)
For 2009 Corolla LE with moonroof = $17,810 (incl.TTL)
Dealer also said that I can take $1,000 rebate or 0% APR. Do you think I can do better?
Please help me. Thank you!
P.S. I am located in Los Angeles, CA.

That does seem high, even by TX prices on the Camry. I've seen them advertised here ranging from $19,425 to $19,795 for the LE so there definitely is some room to negotiate with the dealers. Unfortunately many dealers here want to add on extra fees which raises the prices, especially in comparison to the east and west coast prices.

Keep in mind that advertised prices have rebate already included and all other fees excluded. If you want 0% financing then rebate amount will be added to advertised price. Doc fees in some states can go up to $500.

Very true, here in TX doc fee is $50.00. What often occurs is they try to hit you with high dealer prep fees and of course the added gulf coast fees that often times drive up the price compared to other areas.

Does anyone know how these dealers can offer 5 cars at this price? Is it a true price or are they just trying to get people in the door and then add on extras to the price? I saw a similar deal in the Friday paper from Power Cerritos. However, all the internet quotes for a standard 4-cylinder, automatic LE are around $18,500-19,500.

Power Toyota Cerritos has more than 120 Camry LE I4 autos in-stock, and get 10 from shipment everyday. The ad price is the price you pay. No gimmicks, no hassles. The way it works is the dealer tries to sell all their oldest inventory first for $17,477. Manufactured date is probably July 2008, based on the VIN #. 50% of the Camry LEs for $17,477 will have more than 30 miles on the odometer due to test drives. The internet quotes are for the newest Camry LEs in inventory with manufactured date of October 2008 and less than 8 miles on the odometer. Of course, not everyone will want to pay $17,477 with 30 miles on the odometer. If a buyer wants to pay more with lower miles due to concerns with quality and prefers the one with a stronger new car smell, so be it.

Thanks for the good (and interesting) info. So, if they have a lot of the "older" cars in stock, is it possible to just go there to get one anytime? The internet guy at Power said to go in early on Fridays in order to get that deal. Also, should there be any quality concerns if there are only around 30 miles on the car?

Last time I was there, they will only do 5-10 Camrys for $17,477 every weekend. You cannot select. It's possible that the colors availabe suck. They have a paper written with all the VIN #s available from the ad near the parts department. If the VIN # is highlighted, it's already sold. If the VIN # is not highlighed, it's still available. All 10 Camrys from the ad price were highlighed, meaning that all Camrys for $17,477 were sold and they will not do anymore for $17,477. If you need to get one on other days, most likely you will need to pay invoice price. Friday morning is the beginning day for their weekly ad prices and your greatest chance to select. You should not be worried with quality concerns at all, even with 30 miles.
Check out Hooman Toyota at Long Beach, CA. They are selling 3-5 Camry LE I4 auto every week for $17,388, cheaper than Power Toyota, but selection is more limited.

The fitzmall site has a few LE automatics between 18,600 and 19,600. If I read the site right that includes the destination charge and the floor mats which I think are extra in 2008s. Are the prices they post on their site negotiable, or are they the lowest price?
How do I tell if I have to pay sales tax in too states if I get one from Maryland?
Is Friday the best day too check the news papers for auto ads in all states?

Out of all of their dealerships, there are two in that area that are Toyota, Chambersburg PA and Gaithersburg, MD. You only pay sales tax in PA, since you're from Pgh.
To my knowledge, their no-haggle prices are no-haggle, I've never heard of anyone getting a better deal from them than their web detailed prices.
Give them a call, I've always found them very pleasant to deal with, and extremely helpful for any and all questions. I've shopped them for Toyota's, a Nissan, a Suzuki, and a Chevy, but they have other brands as well. For Toyota's, I've been to the Gaithersburg site, but have only driven by (and called) the Chambersburg one which would be one closest to you.
