Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Toyota Camry Solara Prices Paid and Buying Experience

You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
These forums are great! This is my first post, and first time negotiating for this type of car. I think certain fees are more in the Southeast, and a dealer has given us a "rock-bottom" of $31,900 for an Arctic Frost with Ivory and Tan top, mats, splashguards, VSC, woodgrain, and nav. His 'invoice' showed $31,413, but KBB shows $31,151. There's also a $13 Fuel Surcharge on the sticker that I haven't seen anyone else here mention. Delv'y, Proc & Hndlg fees are $635 on sticker. My husband wants a $31,000 offer. What do y'all think - possible or not? This is the only vert on their lot, and I think they're getting some 07s in within the next few weeks.

Has anyone used the Costco auto purchase program to buy a new (2007) Camry Solara? If so what was the model and how much of a discount off MSRP or how much over invoice did you pay? Many thanks.

Replying to: moms_max (Jul 12, 2006 12:41 pm)  In NJ, I got quote for Acura TL for less than $29500 - which is V6, sunroof, leather; Honda Pilot for less than 25900 - which is V6 sunroof, leather, 4WD -- why SE V6 Camry is more expansive than the Acura and 4WD Pilot? Something is wrong here, folks! Are dealers posting misleading messages here?  Please post your good deals on SE V6 here.

Replying to: jbl8 (Jul 27, 2006 4:51 pm) ....my post referred to a SLE convertible - which is w-a-y more $$ (and much harder to find) than a SE coupe, which is what I think you were comparing it to. Autoweb.com lists MSRP and invoice for all models of Solara - and the SLE convertible MSRP is $30,210 - before options/fees, etc! SE coupe is $19,530 MSRP.... We just purchased an '06 SLE convertible, red with ivory leather and camel top, for $29,473....and it has 5 pc mats, Nav, and Vehicle Stability Control. Only extras were $100 processing fee, $15 for 60-day temp tag, and $4 Tire Recycling Fee. We bought it in Maryland, because in NC (all Southeast U.S., actually) Toyota charges extra fees and higher prices for certain options, believe it or not! We will do tax/tag work here in NC. The website for the dealership had MSRP and invoice prices listed, with a 'Click Here for Internet Price' link. MSRP:32,976 Inv: 30,173 Internet Price: 29,473 It was a clean, no hassle experience - the salesman was great - very professional and responsive to emails and calls; the managers were great, completely "no pressure" - just a sincere "Thanks for coming by and test driving our dealership!" That was on the first visit! We didn't see the color we wanted, so when I did an Internet search the following week and saw that they had a red/ivory, we called and completed most of the paperwork over the phone! I can't recommend them highly enough... DARCARS Toyota of Silver Spring, Maryland. AND... they may still have a few '06s on the lot!

I just joined the forum. Just wanted to say Hello & ask a question. I plan on buying a 2007 Solara SLE V6 Coupe next month. I'm just not sure if I'm getting it for a good price. The only additional features I want are the tinted windows, Sunroof Wind Deflector, & Wheel locks. The salesman gave me a price of $26,125 MSRP plus 500 handling fee & $1597 in taxes. The total came to $28,222. I also want the VSC & TRAC. He said that would be approximately $600 more. Grand Total of $28,822. Do you think this is a good price? I'd also like to know what people think about the Designer Edition roof. Is is durable? It's approx. $1,800 more. It looks really nice but I don't know how well it holds up. I plan on keeping this car a few years & I don't want a roof that starts shredding. The salesman avoided talking to me about it. I'm not sure why. He told me that I don't need that & that it's "not me". It reminded me of the rag tops that the old Caddy's had. I liked it. Any thoughts or experience with these tops? This will be my first new car. Are there some costs that are not usually negotiable? I was surprised that someone was able to get the dealer fees cut in half. I would not have thought that that was negotiable. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
