I bought the Camry SE with Mats. No Nav and no power driver seats.
Paid just under 21K plus tax/lic/doc fee. Got 0.9% 60 months in October. Toyota has dropped it to 0% since then.
Your price is 2K more than what I paid.
The question is whether the Nav plus Power seats should cost you that 2K extra.
I don't think they run that much.
I bought my car at Vallejo Toyota thru Jason Sangmaster who has great reviews online and was honest with no surprises. I told him what offers I had found and asked him what he could offer. He offered the best price that I could find in the Bay Area. See if he can beat your current offer.

I think the $23k quote is a bit high. I got a guarantee certificate online through truecar from Capitol Toyota for $22,600 with the options below. I assume then this new quote should be my base price for negotiation. I wonder if it's possible to get down to $22k.
 
STANDARD PAINT (-PAINT)
CLASSIC SILVER METALLIC (1F7)
50 STATE ULEV2 EMISSIONS (FE)
BLACK/ASH, FABRIC SEAT TRIM (FF15)
8-WAY PWR DRIVER SEAT (PD)
NAVIGATION DISPLAY AM/FM STEREO W/CD PLAYER/MP3/WMA CAPABILITY (EX)
CONVENIENCE PKG (CQ)

For the Camry SE with Nav and power seats you might be able to negotiate downward toward 22K.
I would figure out "dealer cost" for NAV and Power seats and add that to whatever the lowest price is in this blog for the Camry SE base.
FYI - I paid 21K for the 'base" SE model
What you would need is to get some other quotes such as the So Cal Toyota dealer mentioned in this blog , etc to offer as leverage locally in the Bay Area.
As stated earlier I would recommend Jason at Vallejo Toyota once you have your price "homework" done.

What you bought is exactly what I'm looking for Camry SE with power seats. The least quote I got through email is $21,344 along with trunk/carpet mat set. Another dealer is ready to beat that price by $200. So my least price now is $21,144. Any advice on how to get a still lower price? How did you get 0% APR for 60 months? I only see 0% for 36 months.

Today I was looking at some Toyota Dealerships online and saw a factory rebate of $1000 or 0%/60 months finance offer posted.
Must be new for November.
FYI - In October I paid 20,988 for a base Camry SE (no power seats) so your deal looks fairly good... I know prices keep falling toward the end of the year. The issue is inventory - color and options available with the SE.

Actually I was mis-quoted by the dealer it was intentionally or not whatever. But a 2012 SE with PD, EX, CQ package is around $24,400 + tax & DMV. Since I'm going the 0%APR cannot take the $1000 cash back. Paying all cash would be $23,400. That's the best so far locally for the SE with CQ package.
I then got an email from a local dealer that he is willing to sell me a 2012 SE with power driver seat and Nav. for $22,000 + tax & DMV. I'm waiting for his email confirmation with the VIN, will see if he has the car or not.

Hello Misterve (mr.)
 
RE:Jason S. Vallejo Toyota
 
Hello Everyone
 
I talked to Jason S. at Vallejo Toyota and obtained a price $2,000.00 MORE THAN
OTHER DEALERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!!!!
 
He wants $21,500.00 for a 2012 Camry LE with drivers power seat and mats.
This is the price before the $1,000 rebate. Net price of $20,500 plus fees.
 
Jon T. is the fleet manager of Elk Grove Toyota and offered the LE with PD and mats for
$20,439 less the $1,000 rebate for a net price of $19,439 plus fees. He also is very informative
about the car buying process.
 
The winner of the lowest price still seems to be from The fleet and internet staff at Toyota of Orange led be Robert H. A 2012 Camry LE is 20k plus fees. It seems probable the 1k camry
will be in So. Ca. very soon.
 
As for Jason S. and Vallejo Toyota it seems they need to follow the No. Ca. Toy. Dealers advertising phrase:
                                                   DO THE MATH!!!!!
 
Thank you members for sharing your car buying experiences.

I definitely agree Robert gives the best price. I just picked up a Camry SE with power seats, floor mats for 20,995. I qualified for the grad rebate and 0%.
 
However, the salesman, Frank, tried to tell me that they would not be able to give me 0% for the advertised car even though my credit score was 817. Frank tried to get me to sign the contract for 4% -- bullshit! I said, hell no! I"m walking and going to wait for Robert to come back. After I called his bluff, he finally gave me the 0% and $1,000 for college grad. So far so good, however, I suckered into buying their piece of shit alarm (after I came home and did some research) for $399. Is there anyway for me to get that money back?
 
Trying to tell myself that at least it is lifetime. Any advice? What should I do? Thanks everyone!

Aside for Robert, everyone else is horrible!

Caution, Do not buy anything while signing papers. I lesson learned for the rest of my life.

RE: Jason and Vallejo Toyota...Sorry to hear that it didn't work out better. I may have gotten lucky but I had gotten quotes for both LE and SE models that were less than you had been quoted. I agree that I would take my business elsewhere too.
The Orange Toyota does sound great if you live in So Cal. I had checked the SACRA dealers but some online reviews, etc made me think twice so I went more local.
