Replying to: lexus_ne (May 22, 2009 1:55 pm) Would you please share the dealership name? I am going to buy a 2009 Camry LE. Last week I went to the herb chambers brookline, but didn't work out.

Replying to: simonliu315 (May 21, 2009 11:55 am) - Sticker - $29,314 - Invoice -- $26,370 - Paid ----- $26,450 (invoice + $80) - OTD ----- $29,121 ...if you factor in the interest costs of their 3.9% / 60mo financing, the total cost went up an approximate $1,900. simonliu315, I live in Burbank but purchased in North Bakersfield. Apparently the SoCal "district" is from San Diego to the San Joaquin Valley. |

Replying to: ring1 (May 23, 2009 3:14 am) I believe the most important is the strategy you play during negotiation. If you say something like: “my friend bought a 2009 Camry LE Auto from the XYZ dealer with the OTD price of $19,260,” they will not believe you. Here is how I did: 1. I went to a dealership with a lot of printouts from Internet/email and a calculator, showing I did a thorough research. 2. I proved (showed them with evidence) that I could buy a 2009 Camry LE Auto (MSRP: $22,569) from the XYZ dealer with price of $18,000 before TTL and doc fee, and asked them to match the price. 3. The obvious question they asked was: Why didn’t you buy one from the XYZ?” I answered: “The XYZ dealership does not have a camry LE Auto with the combination of the exterior and interior colors I want to buy.” 4. They showed me a paper sheet, and told they would lose money if they offered $18,000 before TTL/doc. But I insisted and gave them the impression that I would leave if I did not get such a price. I showed them I was sincere and ready to buy one immediately. 5. After about 15-minute intensive negotiation, they finally agreed my price of $18,000 before TTL/doc. I gained a lot of tips from Edmuds.com’s forums, and hope other buyers can share their buying experience as well.

Replying to: johnk8 (May 23, 2009 3:18 pm) Unethical practices of the Southeast Toyota region has decided to hide the incentive increase on May 19th from $1000 to $2000. I have confirmed with SouthEast dealers that the $2000 is available in the region with no answer to why it hidden by the regional distributor. The fact that I used to work at TMMC, I find this very unethical. I have emailed TMMC's marketing department for an answer why SET has elected to not disclose the incentive increase on May 19th. I think that TMMC should be enforcing the market incentives they advertise and not take a benign attitude towards indecent practices and non-disclosures. I will report back TMMC's response or lack of soon. To the poster above, you got a nice price.

My config for the 2009 V6 SE in white: SR -- Sunroof Package EJ -- JBL AM/FM CD Changer w/8 Speakers QB -- Sport Convenience Package RF -- Rear Spoiler CF -- Carpet Floor/Trunk Mat Set The MSRP was 28,800, the sale price including the 2k rebate was 23,895 + 55 doc fee + TTL. Another dealer called me while I was signing the papers with a 23,775 deal, so there is a few more $$ to play with here, probably down to 23,500 or so. I put 6,000 down + 2,000 rebate for total equity of 8,000. I financed the rest at 5.00% (5.75% - 0.5% for equity - 0.25% TFS Encore program). My credit score is 800+. At this dealership (Toyota of Hollywood, CA) they had only one with this config, but there are a few more around SoCal if one searches their inventory (tedious, but worth it.) Now I need to sell my well taken care of 2002 Camry V6 SE in white, exactly the same config as the new one. Anyone interested?
