Last week I went to a dealer in NC and negotiated for a 2010 Camry LE.The car was supposed to be at the dealers place July 24th.Its still in factory I think.After I made the deposit the dealer said that the VIN would cange when I take delivery.He says that since the car is not built yet it gets assigned an interim VIN and a new VIN will be assigned after its built. I think the dealer tricked me on this.  Is he trying to swap an existng car and install the options like sunroof,leather seats and alloy wheels OEM? If not how can I make sure all options are factory installed? thank you

They may have seen one available at the port when you were negotiating, yet when they went to grab it....some other dealership had it so they're going after another. Personally, I think the line about VIN numbers changing is BS. But give them some leeway to find your car and bring it in. They swap around all the time to get the specific vehicles they need with their allotments. It's been a couple years since I've been crawling thru the inner workings, but there are a number of options that are installed at the port, and others that get installed locally at the dealership or thru a local company they sub it out to. I know my mirror for instance, was installed locally. That option wasn't on the spec sheet coming in from the port, but I knew the dealer had ordered the part and was putting it on. My local dealership also had a leather shop that did all of their leathers.

Replying to: arayan (Jul 05, 2009 8:21 am) Not sure why it matters, but if there is something wrong with the installation then you don't buy the car. Look at your dealerships inventory, focus on the vehicles that don't show as on the lot and available yet, and see if they have sunroofs coming from the port. If you want to go as far and be able to prove something, start tracking their inventory yourself by VIN number, as to whether it's coming from the port with Sunroof or not. Then when they tell you your VIN number, you'll know whether it came from the port that way, or was installed locally. |

Hello abchin486 I had asked this question earlier but you may have missed it. I am in Massachusetts and thinking of buying a Camry LE from IRA. Can you tell me which of the IRA locations did your mom get her car from and will you mind sharing who she dealt with? Thank you. |

Replying to: mcdawgg (Jul 05, 2009 9:43 pm) Other differences seem to be: LE has driver's side power seat and color selection for Camry Base is limited to black, white, silver, sandy beach and blue ribbon. |
