No-hassle purchase by lchancellor

Just bought a 2009 Camry LE auto 4 from Copeland Toyota, Brockton, Mass.
Price breakdown was as follows:
MSRP $22,569
Invoice $20,523 minus $433 holdback & $216 financial reserve
Cost $19,874 minus $500 end-of-model-year discount
Sale $19,374 minus $1,500 rebate from Toyota
Final $17,874
Plus $250 doc fee, $893.70 Mass. tax, $50 title, $36 new plates
$19103.70 out the door
 
(Edmunds TMV = $19,142 after rebate: we beat it by over $1,000 even after the doc fee)
 
Copeland played absolutely no games with us; they gave us their best price up front, disclosed all fees, and put no pressure on us to buy the extended warranty or any of the protection packages. They treated us with respect from start to finish.
 
May all your car purchases be as stress-free as ours was.

Hi - thanks so much for the info, but have a couple of questions. What exactly is the holdback and financial reserve? I live in OHIO and am fighting with all the dealers to get a good price. The best price is have received is 19,558 out the door and I am still trying to find a better price. What is your tax rate in MA? Just curious.
Thanks for your info.
Enjoy your new car, hoping to get mine soon.

The holdback and financial reserve are amounts included in the invoice, which the dealer gets back eventually from Toyota...so his cost is actually less than invoice. Most dealers wish we didn't know about them. Some dealers will give up part or all of them, especially at the end of a model year. We didn't ask the dealers we contacted to give anything up, or even to sell at or below invoice; we just asked them for the lowest price they were comfortable selling the car at. It pays to get in touch with 8 or 10 dealers, including one or more outside your immediate area. We ended up with a dealer an hour away, but it was worth the drive for their respectful treatment as well as their price.
 
Tax rate in Massachusetts is 5 percent. Good luck with your purchase.

Could someone please recommend a good toyota dealer in north jersey? I am looking for 2009 Camry LE with VS option but the OTD quotes I got were all over 20700. Is this a reasonable price? Or did anyone do better?
 
Thanks a lot!

camry 2009 17700 by m0m0ko

I haven't bought it yet but I got a written confirmation that this is a RED LE b/c I requested a red one. This inclues destination. So the total is actually 17695, this includes the rebate, still got to pay ttl. the doc fee is 295. Anybody interested in a group buy so that we can lower the cost even more?
 
I was considering to buy an AWD since I live in MA and the weather here is pretty bad in the winter but all the rogue, RAV4, and CRV dealerships pissed me off. Esp herb chambers honda in Boston. Every time I try to buy a car from them is a pain in axx. This time is even worst. they called me about the CRV and said they were having some ridiculous sale for crv 18995. when i got there, they said they messed up the quote and gave me a 20000 quote. i was pissed and left. don't go there, they are suckers!
 
Anyway, lesson learned was that I need to have something in writing. I got a written statement from the sales manager for a camry and I know that 17700 is doable. if you are interested, email me at m0m0she.com.
 
If i don't get any reponses by 3/30 afternoon by 4pm, I am gonna call them and make a deposit. thinking of lowering them down to 17500, btw, the quote is good until 3/31 only.

Deal almost finalized and turned out failure by iwantnew

I went to a toyota dealership to buy a camry LE base with VSC.the color and vsc that I wanted, they do not have it. for extra 200 they will ship a car from a different lot. later I found that they will drive a single piece and wanted me to take it with over 100 miles. why pay extra 200 then. backed off.
 
lesson learnt - NEVER DEAL FOR A CAR that is NOT IN THE LOT.
