Sounds to me they want to move the oldest inventory, and maybe at a greater discount. Mine was built in 4/09 and purchased in the same month. I practically got it right off the transporter. Chances are it's had more than one jumpstart and has had some movement arount the dealer network. It's all what you are comfortable with. I would scout around for a "newer" one.

It'll be fine. My last two vehicles, and my fourth to last vehicles I've bought ranged from 6 months to a year on the lot. Not a problem with any of them.

I called Toyota today and they told me that it was designed this way to help defrosting. I am kind of skeptical. Would other LE owner verify this please ?

Yes, this is by design. The reason is that they designed it to avoid someone leaving it on recirculate too long and fogging up the windows so much that they cannot see and get into an accident. It will happen at temps above 45, but not as quickly as when the temp is lower.
 
You can defeat this design, however. If you push the recirculate button AND hold it in for 5 seconds, it will stay on recirculate until you push it again or you switch the airflow knob into or out of one of the two defrost positions.
 
I occasionally do this on my '07 CE (same as the LE except no power seat and no keyless entry).

I believe the owner's manual states that A/C automatically shuts off when outside temperature reaches below 45 degrees.

That may be on the newer cars. On my older Corolla, the AC still works below 45, but the compressor is only on for 10 seconds or less. I haven't noticed the Camry, I'll try to pay attention to this.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try it next week when the temperature is expected to be below 45F.

Fob malfunction by jagger

I'm back. The key fobs for the new exchanged Camry I got to replace the one that pulled to the left do not beep and flash lights when I hit lock and unlock. Service said I had to go thru customer rep before bringing it in. Waiting for that fabled return phone call. Both the spare and main key fobs don't produce beeps/flashes. Any ideas why? Service tech said something must've been done to create this, altho he had no idea what. It's not a big deal, but given the hassles I've had with that dealer I want to get all things corrected before I complete the survey on them. Feel it's my only leverage.

Let me understand this. You're using the customer survey mailed out by Toyota to blackmail the dealership? Now that's interesting.
 
Of all the vehicles I've owned, there is always a setting or a way to set whether the car beeps or flashes it's lights when the alarm engages and disengages. This info is usually found in the owner's manual. Have you tried checking there?
