#82 of 6809 2002 Camry SE V6 National Clearance Experience by moyota Sep 02, 2002 (7:22 pm)
National Clearance Experience   Car purchased: 2002 Camry SE V6 Option Package #2 Floor and Trunk Mats   Purchased from: Rice Toyota Greensboro, NC   Edmunds MSRP: $25,239 Edmunds Invoice: $22,264 Price paid: $23,376 - includes $565 Admin fee for Southeast Toyota that Edmunds does not include   By my calculation I paid $348 over TMV.   Did take advantage of 3.9% financing for 60 months.   Background: Definately wanted SE V6. Love the SE's metallic style inside and out. Wanted the 16" wheels and ABS that are standard on SE. Preference was for cloth seats. Color choices were open except for black or white. Option package #2 (or better) was available on all SE's we evaluated. Needless to say, our self-imposed choices severely limited our selection.   Dealer Experience:   Rice Toyota - Greensboro, NC We drove 1.5 hours to look at cars at this dealership. Have purchased two cars from them in the past, both good experiences. Saleman was courteous. Had to go to remote lot to look at car. The car had 18 miles on it. Salsa Red with charcoal black cloth seats. Black and chrome exterior trim. Black and grey interior upholstery with gun metal trim accents. Still had plastic covering seats and trim. Had the 16" five spoke alloy wheels. Bridgestone Turenza P215/60R16 tires. Clearance price was $23,376. Given our self-imposed limitations, this price was within my tolerance of no more than $500 over invoice (including fees that I've never got any budge on in the past).   Fred Anderson Toyota - Raleigh, NC - BAD BAD BAD Had pre-owned 2002 SE V6, 5000 miles, opt pkg 2, ash tray. Clearance price $25,995. This price is over the MSRP for this car with these options! They knew ahead that we were coming to look at this car, so I believe that they thought they could jam this price on us. This car also had 16" steel wheels with "deluxe" wheel covers installed instead of 16" alloy wheels which are standard on SE. If you go there for an SE, WATCH OUT!. I noticed they did this to many of the SE's. But they still charge for the real standard SE features which INCLUDES alloy wheels. Looks to me like they are ripp'in SE buyers for about $500 by this tatic. Maybe someone can explain this, but I'm so alarmed and pissed that it's very likely they will NEVER see me again.   Toyota of Sanford - Sanford NC This is another Fred Anderson dealership, which makes it suspect. But I did not visit. See above.   Leith Toyota - Raleigh NC Bought my 2000 Tundra here. Decent sales staff. Good service department, once you get past the know nothing "service associates". Did not get to visit them, but would have been the next dealer after Rice.   Cox Toyota - Burlington NC On-line inventory show two SE's with cloth seats. When we got there, they had no SE's on the lot.   Mid-State Toyota - Asheboro, NC On-line inventory listed no SE's with cloth seats.   Durham Toyota - Durham NC The one time we visited them, after explaining exactly what we were looking for, the salesman told us that he had the exact car we on the lot. Once we showed up he said he misunderstood my needs, and then tryed to sell us on an XLE and Avalon. A dealership wastes my time only once.   Van York Toyota - High Point NC Did not get to their lot. Had purchased from them in the distant past (1981) and they were excellent at the time.   Well, this one's behind me. Any constructive comments are appreciated.
#83 of 6809 End of year XLE by mja216 Sep 05, 2002 (8:16 pm)
Just paid 20200 +TTF for an XLE 4 cyl. It is a great car and I looked far and wide--the honda Vw etc. Now the only thing I wonder about is the extended warranty from toyota.com. They want $775 for 84 months and 75K. 1) Do i need it; 2) is that the best price?
#84 of 6809 2003 Price Discrepancy by billmahan Sep 06, 2002 (10:31 pm)
I was looking at Edmund's pricing vs. Kelly Blue Book and noticed a $410 price difference on the '03 XLEs. It is in package #8. Edmunds says MSRP is $2530, while KBB lists it at only $2120.   Other than that, all other prices (base, opt. #7, etc.) are exactly the same.   Can someone explain the difference? I know the dealer will probably want the higher price and if KBB is incorrect....so be it. But if not, I'd sure like to keep the extra $410.   Thanks.
#85 of 6809 Interior Colors? by bowie5 Sep 07, 2002 (7:44 pm)
When building a SE V6 on the Toyota site I am given the choice of FC44 & LB44 - what colors are these?
#86 of 6809 To xbbuster, which Chicago dealer did you buy from ? by yliang Sep 09, 2002 (6:28 am)

#87 of 6809 TMV for real? by cedarpark Sep 09, 2002 (12:31 pm)
Hi,   Test drove a Camry XLE (4 cylinder) with essentially the HE package (leather, 6 disc changer, aluminum alloy wheels) and thank god no sunroof (I'm 6 foot five and every inch of head room is important to me).   I liked the vehicle, and decided to see what the salemsan would offer. The color was this neat blue/green (hard to tell--it was raining) that I'm hoping is what they call the aspen green.   Edmunds states this car should be $22,289. The car already had 250 miles on it, which to me, combined with the fact that its a year 2002 model, should lower the cost. As well, I noticed that instead of putting the HE package as one cost, they had itemized it, and it made it much more pricey.   Well, salesman said invoice (which he printed out), was 22696, and no way they were going to sell the car under invoice. He would make no adjustment for the mileage at all, and stated that maybe this was "too much car for you." He implied I could offer $100 over invoice, but I left.   This seems to be my experience anytime I try to get near TMV for the Austin, TX area. Am I nuts for trying? Should I just give up? I enjoyed the car and the ride a bunch, but another will always come along. I just wonder that since these cars have such a great rep., and just a few dealers in town, if they'll ever be reasonable.
#88 of 6809 Is Edmunds invoice incorrect? anyone? by cedarpark Sep 10, 2002 (6:38 am)
2nd dealer on this car has told me that their invoice on the car I described in post 85 is 22686. He quoted me an "internet offer" of 22,986.   Only extras were glass etching, and wood grain (not researched those, don't know what those mean/worth) which added 278 to the cost of vehicle?   Any opinions, please?
#89 of 6809 02 Camry LE auto: is this quote too high? by xshader Sep 11, 2002 (10:52 am)
Hello everyone, I am new here and not sure if it's okay to ask this question: I'm going to buy a 02 Camry LE auto. (I suppose 02 should be much cheaper than 03, right?) I want keyless and maybe power seat. I'm in bay area. So far I only got one quote: $19449 + tax + lic + Doc Fee. But the invoice price on autoweb.com is 17721 (auto) + 485 (dest) + 196 (keyless?) = 18402. So what is a reasonable price? Invoice or even lower? Is autoweb's invoice accurate? Thank you!
#90 of 6809 02 Camry LE auto: is this quote too high? by raybear Sep 11, 2002 (11:37 am)
Depends on availability. The website I used guesstemates the advertising fee also and put invoice with GH (package 1-power seats & keyless entry) at $18,993.   The site recommends offering invoice to start, still a savings over what you were quoted.
#91 of 6809 but raybear, is edmunds invoice even correct? by cedarpark Sep 11, 2002 (12:49 pm)
see post 86 and 85?
