Replying to: saga112 (Dec 27, 2004 2:39 am) Your Camry post.......... #1621 of 1634 2005 Camry LE V6 for $21250 OTD by saga112 Dec 23, 2004 (10:30 pm) Bookmark | Reply I just went to Darcars Toyota in Maryland and got a 2005 Camry LE V6 for $21250 OTD. In case this information helps anyone, here's the breakdown: 2005 Camry LE V6 - invoice 19916 JBL Package - invoice 218 Side/Curtain airbags package - invoice 559 Cargo Net - invoice 34 Mats - invoice 114 Destination - 515 Total Invoice Cost = 21356 Dealer quoted me at $19923 which is 1433 below invoice. To get to the total cost (21250), it was: 19923 for car including 750 rebate 100 processing fee (lame) 188 tags (20 more if we had financed) 5% tax Darcars is kind of a shady dealership in that we spent 3 hours filling out extraneous paperwork (that I haven't seen at other dealerships) despite having told them to have everything ready, and a lot of hassling about trying to sign up for extended warranty plans. Overall it was the best price we found though, so we went for it. Good luck! |

They told me this offer was good through the end of December, so you might still be able to get a very headache-free deal.

Just picked up an Anthracite/Ebony in Boston area last week. Paid $32,600 + ~$160 Doc Fees + Tax & Reg. Took it to CT for the weekend and drove back in the blizzard - felt very confident if the snow, but was probably a little more cautious because it doesn't even have 400 miles on it yet. Any other feedback about this car in the snow? How do the 235's handle the white stuff? I am used to the 205's on my Maxima

Maybe SM Acura gets aggressive with all those supplies. Congrates to your no sweat good deal. |

Today we went to buy a 2005 TL w/AT. We drove both the TSX and the TL. She liked them both, and so did I. But the 2005 TL w/5spd AT is a real treat! But, I AM SO tight, I SQUEEK..... Having just had my Red 2002 Firehawk totaled, by a Camry no less, I voted 2005 TL w/270 hp. We agreed on a price, while she was looking at all the different colors and driving several cars. She wanted white/parchment. But they did not want to honor the price on that color. I guess there is a limit on the number of white cars, which is the most favorite color in the Kansas City area. So, I walked away from the deal at $31,500 including doc fee, lug nut locks, and the rear spoiler. THIS would have been a great deal! EVEN THOUGH WE NAILED DOWN THE PRICE BEFORE selecting the color, the manager was balking. So, I started to leave and said we would check with his competition. While getting ready to leave, my wife said, "Go back in, I want the Silver/Ebony 2005 TL w/AT". (she changed her mind for the 6th time!) Since this is really about me letting her pick a car she wants, I said OK. I went it to talk to the manager. He explained the salesman made a mistake and quoted me $334 for the rear spoiler, when it really was the “cost” on a front spoiler. He said, “This is a great deal for you”. But, I don’t like taking advantage of an honest mistake. I would expect the same, if I made a math mistake! I replied, "I don't want to get anyone in trouble, since we are getting a good price! Take the spoiler off: $31,500 - $335 = $31,165 (which includes locks at $50.50 and shipping at $570). So, $31,165 less invoice ($29,982.29 + $570 shipping + $50.50 for locks = $30,602.79 Add the $169 doc fee which = $30,771.79). I HATE doc fees!!! I have never paid them before, but my dear wanted the car and I said, "OK!" So I hate to admit it! I did not get into holdback, and I paid $562.21 OVER INVOICE! (w/$169 doc fee). They tell me this is a great deal for the KC area. I think she will love the car. NOW, if I can convince the manager to give her the white diamond with parchment interior.... I sure am going to miss my very fast 2002 Red Formula Firehawk, 6 spd! But, she has had to putt up with me for 26 years of marriage, I think she deserves a new TL! Guys, if you really love your wife, give up your muscle cars/BMWs/Corvettes/Harleys and Fast boats, and let them pick out a car they like. JC

Is $33,500 (plus TTL) a good deal for a 2005 White TL with Navigation? There are no other fees/charges besides TTL. I am in Houston. Do you think they would throw in mud guards and wheel locks at that price? This is my frist time to buy a car so any help is appreciated
