Any comments about the reasonable price will be much appreciated?
Walnut Creek Toyota has standard Camrys going at $15,9XX(after rebate), plus TTL. Le camrys @ 16,6XX. (I can not recall the exact figures, but if you check the paper or their website. These figures are very tempting.
Capitol Toyota has LE camry for %16,588 or so, plus ttl after rebate.
Hope this helps.
Anyone could offer some hint here?
I didn't find advertisment on paper or internet of capitol toyota on the price you mentioned. Could you let me know where to find this.
Do you think the prices would be going down further by next weekend or thereafter. I suspect the 2007 is on its way by March early.
It may have been Stevens Creek Toyota. However, their price excluded the mat package (floor and trunk mats.) It was in the Mercury New's Saturday edition, but I think it may have been in the Sports Section. Walnut Creek Toyota had the better value because their vehicle included the mat package for about $60 more.
I doubt prices will be going down any further on the 06s unless larger rebates are offered. I'm still debating between the 2006 and the 2007, but if I go with the 2007, I don't plan on buying until May (memorial day weekend).
You also mentioned possibly being interested in a Corolla. I saw those for around $12.9K to $13.9k. Personally, I like the new Civic better.
Best of luck.

Started at Magnusen's Toyota, Palo Alto, had a great test-drive, good salesman, although it wasn't in the car I wanted. Unfortunately, they didn't have the car in stock, although they kept insisting that they could get it. We negotiated all of five-minutes on the price ($24,000 after rebate + TTL), they flinched, and wouldn't come down any more.
Then we waited an hour or so while they kept insisting that they could find it. They couldn't. We waited, they couldn't. They were desparate because they knew the checkbook was open. But they couldn't find one or couldn't get some other dealer to trade. So finally we walked. Which was a bummer, because they had been really good to work with. I'm pretty sure that $24,000 was the best the could do.
Went to Toyota of Fremont, which we knew had a car that matched out description. They matched the $24,000 without batting an eye (so I think we could have done a little better there.)
Unfortunately, the tried the old "add the rebate then subtract it scam", and we had to get a manager in there to demonstrate that they were wrong. I was very ready to walk. Very very ready. But in the end I decided I would just show it on their survey.
Then they made us wait for an entire hour for the F&I guy, insisting that he would be with us very soon. And so we did walk.
They called us in a panic that night, and offered to deliver the car to our house across the bay, with the finance contracts. So we let them. And we now own a 2006 Camry SE V6 with leather and premium package for $24,000 after rebate.
I am absolutely sure we could have ground Fremont toyota's fleet department for a couple hundred more, but I'm pretty sure that was the bottom line at Toyota Palo Alto.
I just wish Toyota Palo Alto could have found the car. I would much rather have given them the business.
Thank! :confuse:
Thanks again.
How would you all compare different dealers based on their after sales service - how is stevens creek / capitol and toyota sunnyvale?
So when we are comparing the price before TTL, would I be accurate to say that we are looking at:
1) the price that's been marked up after the "real" dealership invoice price
2) with the Destination Charge and TDA (toyota advertisment fee?), and
3) your options selected?
Is there any kind of other hidden fees? I am still learning to see how should I negotiate when there's a dealer holdback offered by Toyota to the dealership, or when there's a rebate (e.g. $750 currently available on Camry).
Thank for all the help! :shades:
So many online resources is making it a bit confusing... :sick:
Thanks for sharing your experience. I am looking for a V6 with leather too. What kind of options do you choose besides Premium package? Is your MSRP $26,275?
Thanks a lot.
Have anyone been able to negotiate without paying the TDA?
What's TDA for anyway, Toyota Dealers Association / Toyota Dealer Advertising Fee? Those are what I can find online so far...
Thanks

Well, I got an SE, which is the "sport edition", not an XLE, which is the "top of the line luxury edition".
Nearly all SE's come with the stability control, side airbags, and rear-spoiler. So, you pretty much have to get those if you go with an SE V6. My MSRP was $28K and change.
Don't know what you are looking for in the car, but XLE's have more amenities, like memory seats and climate control but a weaker engine and poorer mileage--both are V6's but the SE's is bigger and more advanced. I really like the SE's engine compared to the XLE's. V6 LE's also have the poorer engine. SE's also have a stiffer suspension than any other camrys. I consider that a good thing, but you might not.
XLE's are also more expensive, generally speaking.
I would have to check, but I think that by the time you add a V6 and Leather to an LE, you are pretty close price-wise to an XLE or SE, which both have more features than the LE. The extra bucks might be worth it to you to upgrade.
You may have issuese finding one with the options you want. SE's are fairly rare birds, even more so with leather, and XLE's are somewhat uncommon too. Some LE's have leather though. But although the first dealer had trouble finding my car, I surely didn't.
I do know where to find a couple of SEs just like mine (except the color) in the bay area.
The trick is that dealers want to move these off their lots. Hold out for the one you want. The dealer needs to sell more than you need to buy. Camry's are a dime a dozen.
And when you do purchase, make sure the dealer's numbers add up before you sign anything.
Thanks again.
Can you please explain a bit more about this : "add the rebate then subtract it scam" ?
Also, in your opinion, which dealership around the bay area would offer the best price ? Sunnyvale Toyota or Fremont Toyota or Hayward Toyota ?
Thanks,
Appreciate it.
Gray LE - 2532model#
No options added- not even floor mats.
Donot go to stevens creek toyota as the service is bad and they make you wait a long time. Car was not clean when delivered so it is a disappointment. Capitol Toyota matches prices so try them.
Because as far as my research go, the "dealership invoice price" -- i.e. price paid out of dealership pocket to Toyota -- is $17491. Then there's destination chage of $580.
Even excluding TDA (toyota advertise fee, usually in the $00 range), after $750 rebate it still total to $17321 -- a $700+ price difference!!!! :surprise:
In bay area, they advertised these in the newspapers and sold out pretty fast. The Finance guy told me that this is close to wholesale...ie: they are not making much on car ($50 max) but they hope you will buy finance/insurance/warranty/prepaid maintenance from them. They make a lot from that !!!!!
Where are u located? it all depends on location for deals....
still i think wait till 2007s come out , if they have 2006 they will need to clear out..
"Models in Boston, Central Atlantic, Denver, Gulf States & San Francisco Regions - $1000.00 "
Don't believe too much about this so-called invoice price since if using this number, it doesn't make any sense on my deal. As I know, every time the dealers get cars from the automaker, their prices will also be different. Also don't believe the so-called dinstination charge, it's a BS to squeeze consumer's money.
If you are serious about buying a car, my suggestion is to call around dealerships and negotiate the price on the phone, let them know you are a serious buyer and you know what you are doing. Don't waste your time on traveling and talking in the dealerships. I only spent 2 hours on making phone calls and another hour to get the car.
My salesperson couldn't believe her manager agreed on such a price ( I directly talked to the manager on the phone in the same day morning).
MSRP = $21,141
INV = $19,435
subtract $407 (dealer cash back)
This = $19,028
+ $ 100 ( Doc fees)
= $19,128 x my tax of 0.65% = ($1243.32)
= $20,371.32
+ $ 25.50 (title and registration fees)
= $21,396.82
- $1000 ( toyota coupon )
GRAND TOTAL OTD = $19,396.82 with the special APR of 2.9% or 3.9%.
Remember you can do $1000 better w/o the special APR. I have excellent credit rating and could not come close to 2.9% or 3.9%
So this is basically $407 under invoice.
Good luck Hopefully this helps, Like i said I have no clue as to how they did it in TN. I worked email and phone for three days and 12 different dealers.

Does fitzmall do that? I found this on their site
"Time is valuable to all our customers. If you prefer, our Internet Specialists are trained to conduct most or all of the purchase transaction without the need to visit our location.

Rice Toyota was selling 2006 Camry's for $17,257 which included all paperwork & advertising fees. It did not include T/T/L.
I suggest getting a 2007 version of the LE Camry for for about 1000 more than you were quoted. They also sell on eBay, go there and do a search for "2007 Camry"...you'll see what I mean.

Does it come with anything else?
Check out Edmunds.com under new cars and kbb.com for invoice and other pricing info.
What part of California are you in?

At Tracy Toyota, they are offering $22,644. I think that also includes destination fees but not tax.
I'm living in San Jose, CA.
