I got my SLE convertible (Cosmic Blue with ivory interior) today. The only option that I got was the floor mats. My out the door price was $28,424 (includes $3,200 for trade-in of my Celica). I got $500 off MSRP and no documentation fees. I bought my Solara at Toyota of Hollywood which is located in Hollywood, FL. The entire deal was with the internet salesperson and I really enjoyed buying the car this way. |

Working on purchasing a 2005 Solara SLE and trying to understand my negotiation room. Reading through all these discussions, I now understand that the Invoice price actually includes Dealer's profit and that I should negotiate from the Invoice Price , not the MSRP. Two questions: 1- After the Holdback price substracted from the Invoice price, is the dealer still making some profit when he sells the car at a invoice price? 2- I would like to add some option to the car. Options also have their Invoice and MSRPs. Is it fair to ask for Retail price of all options? In summary, here is the price I want to pay the dealers: Base invoice price+destination charge-Holdback+Options with "Invoice prices" Is this realistic? thanks |

That's meant to help cover their operating expenses, and isn't usually part of negotiations. As a consumer, you can, of course, offer any price you like. However, be prepared to have any offer that includes holdback as part of your "discount" rejected. kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host

I sure hope it's loaded to the gills - navigation and everything. Unless it's completely loaded, our TMV invoice pricing says you're not getting $1644 below MSRP - unless you live in an area of very high pricing! Is that an out-the-door price, including tax, title, and licensing? If so, the deal looks much better. Make sure you do a report - click the "new cars" tab at the top to get started. kirstie_h Roving Host & Future Vehicles Host |

$30,975 includes Navigation, Vehicle Stability and Wheel Locks as additional options. Tax and licence are not included in this price. I live in Concord, California. Here is the calculation I made. INVOICE MSRP 27,224 30,190 base price+ destination charge 1163 1350 navigation 559 650 vehicle stability 295 395 wind screen 37 58 wheel lock $29278 $32643 TOTAL Does it still look good?? |

Has anyone here tried leasing a Camry Solara in the Southeast area. I live in Miami, FL and I understand that Toyota's leasing program down here is different than everywhere else. Just wanted to hear about someone's leasing experience. Thanks!
