| I know the 2009 incentives are better but in the long run would the 2010 be a better choice??? | |

Long story short, I'm helping mom with the purchase of another car. She's pretty much narrowed it down to a Camry and is looking to pay cash. She doesn't drive much (less than 8,000 a year). She's very practical and wants something to get around town in and take an occasional trip to see the grandkids. She's doesn't care about most of the add-on gadgets, a lot of horsepower, etc. As long as it's got power windows/locks a CD player and sand, silver or black - she's good. She was looking to spend $17,000-$19,000. Originally I was looking at 1-2 year old models...but it sounds like she can probably get an 4-cylinder LE brand new for that price. I live in the DFW area, so there are plenty of dealers locally. Since it's a cash deal, I just want to get the best possible deal. Are the rebates just on the 2009? What options/packages may make sense to consider? I've driven the car, so I'm thinking about just working by e-mail/phone and going for the best bottom line deal. Is that an effective approach? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks!

I heard from dealership that special APR offering is just for those who has credit score over 690. Is that correct? or only for QUALIFIED ? What's the trueth ? |

Replying to: atlantarose (Jun 30, 2009 7:23 am) I am planning to buy a new camry while trade-in my old car. When should I talk with the salesman about the trade-in ? Should I get the new car price quote first and then tell them about trade-in ? Or should we talk about trade-in at the beginning ? Confused. Thanks, PP

Replying to: ppmm (Jun 30, 2009 10:11 pm) Many states deduct the value of the tradein, and only charge you sales tax on the net difference. So check your state laws. If they do, you would pay less in sales tax if you trade to the dealer as opposed to selling outright and giving $$. You have to work the numbers to understand the actual difference, might be worth a couple of hundred dollars in difference. Some people will claim to not have a tradein and then spring it on the salesman after they've come to agreement on the new vehicle. To me, that doesn't build trust, most salesman might suspect that could happen anyhow, and it just wastes everyone's time to have to redo all of the numbers. Just be upfront, but keep the transactions menatlly separate in case you decide to not trade the vehicle in and sell it on your own.

I ended up getting the 2010 over the "09" yesterday. Since it was month end and quarter end I ended up getting an incredible deal. I worked with a gentleman from a company called Auto Advisors who helped me locate the deal within a day. My situation was unique in that I had a leased vehicle to trade in that had a lot of miles on it (which would have cost me about $7k) and $4k in negative equity. We were able to absorb the negative equity and come in under MSRP (right at invoice). Thank God! |
