Replying to: toyofan2007 (Jul 12, 2006 12:24 pm) Click on any of the other 'Discussion Titles' (either for the convertibles or general Solaras), and type in Costco in the small search box on the upper right, above the posts. You should get a few responses.... I found 5 in the convertible discussion. Replies to this message: impala2002 (Oct 18, 2006 11:14 pm)

Replying to: moms_max (Jul 12, 2006 12:41 pm) I don't get it!! 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. Replies to this message: moms_max (Aug 03, 2006 5:52 pm)

Replying to: jbl8 (Jul 27, 2006 4:51 pm) I think there's been a misunderstanding ....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!

Fantastic car......would do it all over again!!.

Replying to: sonnyp (Aug 19, 2006 4:40 pm) Hi Sonny: Because I was registering it in another country- (CANADA), I didn't have to pay any OHIO state tax...however, once in Toronto, I had to pay close to 3,000CAD in taxes: 15% I still was able to save 18,000CAD though
#211 of 244 2007 Solara SLE V6 by italianrn Oct 04, 2006 (7:30 am)
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.

Replying to: moms_max (Jul 16, 2006 2:10 pm) I don't have too much faith in Costco/AAA pricing - but it can be a very good starting point. I helped my cousin with buying a 2007 Toyota Camry. We asked for the AAA pricing and one of the dealers offered us around $300 over invoice - but didn't have any stock. The second dealer offered us around $800 over invoice but quickly matched the 2nd dealer price. So much for the AAA price - but by using multiple dealers, this was one of the easiest car deals that I have done for what seems like a fair price.   The next experience gets more bizzare. I was looking for a Solara SLE convertible. I went to the dealer (a 3rd dealer) on Sunday. Turns out that the AAA guy was not at work on Sunday. So I go through the regular guys - but he quickly brings out his Costco book. The price - $1500 above invoice. Since I had bought the Camry for $300 above invoice, I was getting ready to walk. He dropped the price to $0 above invoice. Since I was flying out of the country for the next few days, I offered to come back on Fri and finish the deal. When I started walking out, the dealer offered me $500 below invoice for a brand new fresh off the truck 2007 SLE convertible in a color that I wanted (blue). He had only one in stock too. I ended up making the deal that day itself! So I went from $1500 above invoice on a regular Costco deal to $500 below invoice - which is a huge difference. The dealer said something about making their targets - but I don't know if I believe it but $500 below invoice sounded pretty good. [By the way, I had talked to the Camry dealer a few days before before and he was $1000 above invoice on a SLE convertible on his AAA price and would not budge even though he did not have any car in stock as yet].
