I fed the MSRP $33,942 into my spreadsheet that I used to calculate my negotiation price. I got $29,087.48 (Delivery included) for the base, then plus tax, title and registration...
I get my best price by going to the GM (if he's on the floor) or see which salesmen are the top two for the month... they get monthly bonus based on volume. If the 2nd guy is only 1 or 2 away from the top spot, he has a lots of incentive (especially at the end of the month), and the top guy needs the sales to stay ahead.
I bought 2012 Camry SE 4cyl or I4 in Houston for $23000 drive out, 21350 + ttl. If you are interested email me at ahtexas07 at gmail and I will send you the dealer and sales person name & phone number
sale price: 21,430.18
processing: 200.00
MD tax 6%: 1297.82
title charge: 20.00
tags: 252.00
Good Luck.
My wife wants a 2012 4 cylinder XLE model with all the bells and whistles.
Whats a good "out the door" price for this car in the dallas area?
It is amazing how the fees add up in California!
Does any one have an opinion on the extended bumper to bumper warranty of 7/100,000 for $1888?
Thanks again.
For extended warranty, POWAY Toyota was selling third party extended warranty for $1300 for 7 year/100k. We bought original Toyota care 8yrs/125k for $1350 from Molle Toyota in Kansas City. Try to contact Dan Drabek at Molle Toyota. Another dealership is Midwest Toyota (jerry johnson)in Kansas. They were about $50 higher but same price range.
I offered $600.00 for 7/125k. Apparently that was lowered than their cost, so the finance guy had to call the GM (he just left us to go home around 8:30PM) for authorization at $621.00. I paid $621.00 (Maryland state) for 7/125K Platinum end-to-end no deductible.
Good luck - let us know how it worked out for you.

i am looking to purchase a 2012 Camry SE. I negotiated a 25,000 (EVEN) "out the door" price for the SE with a few options. The sticker price read almost 27k, so with tax, tag transfer and other small fees, this appears to be a good price. I was going to "pull the trigger" this Tuesday morning. BUT after reading your post, it sounds as if you're a better negotiator than me. If you could forward me any info that would help me get a better deal, than please email me at ChiroZone@aol.com. I live in Palm Beach county, so getting to the dealership that you're speaking of is perfect.
Thanks,
Dennis
Sticker 28,635
OTD Cost 26,200 (3.2% VA Sales Tax, Delivery, yada yada)

BTW, the deal that I got for the 2012 Camry SE (with some options) of 25,000 "out the door" was for the 4 cylinder.

Used to be terrible about bargaining but I made some changes and now really enjoy the process.

I am also looking to buy a Camry SE but in Northern CA. You got a great price but you mention fees. To give an idea of what fees I'll be facing can you list them? I know tax should be 1925.00 and registration 254.00 but if you can give an idea of other fees you paid it would be helpful . Thanks.

I got the loaded up SE-V6 Camry, Silver Metallic with black leather and ash inserts, not full leather seats. I think that's the only thing this car doesn't have.
Sale price = $26,325.63
Tax = $789.77
Tag and title = $86.80
Their "fees" = $548
Total out the door = $27,750 and they threw in the all weather mats

I drove down the street because I was getting pissed that I was wasting time over $300, and decided to just give the Camry a quick look. I drove the 4 cyl and was like "ehhhh", but then drove the V6 and was like "wow".
I spent a total of an hour at Toyota (and wasted 6 at Honda and still didn't buy from them). Worked out some numbers with the Toyota guy but never shook, then Wednesday night emailed four other dealers in the area. I didn't reveal names, just numbers and what I was looking at, letting them know I will be buying Friday and asked "what can you do to earn my business".
Low and behold, the two "big names" were in competition and didn't know it. The "other guy" beat the deal by $9 and after I asked, threw in the mats. I gave the original guy my business though, because he was nothing like a typical car salesman.
I pick it up tomorrow and am psyched to drive it on a 400 mile trip the first day!
Anyone in NC, drop me an electronic mail at silv333 at G mail dot com and I will gladly share the dealer info.

Add in the Edmunds rebate, so that puts me at $27,000. Car rides like a dream!!
Sadly, I blocked ads in my browser so I didn't see the rebate offer until after I bought my vehicle. After I learned about the offer, I allowed the ads and printed the coupon. I am going to submit it anywhere and hope.
Where did you buy your SE?

OTD price $23,288. And also got the College discount $1000 & $750 Edmunds discount. Final OTD price $21,538.
I think I get a good deal. Good Luck everyone.
I am happy with the deal and should take delivery on Saturday. I also will file for the Edmunds rebate later.
Excited about getting my "wife's" car (I drive a Honda Ridgeline).

Still undecided on 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder and was told by a local dealer that you can't get the blind spot monitor on the 4 cylinder (not sure if that's true).
We want convenience package, navigation, leather upgrade (powered and heated front seats), wood grain interior panels , floor mats, dark window tint,. I wonder if those that purchased the 4 cylinder regret it. The published MPG of the 4 cylinder is pretty sweet though.
One local dealer's internet manager sent me the following two quotes:
A 2012 Camry XLE 6 Cylinder loaded:
In his email he says the MSRP is $30,690 plus $3,800 in installed options for a total of $34,530
His internet price is $30,500 plus TTL.
I thought most options come standard on the V6 XLE (Moon roof, heated/powered leather seats, navigation etc).
On his pricing details it looks like the added options included upgraded Navigation to the 7.1 screen and safety connect.
If we get this car I want it OTD for $28k
Is that a realistic expectation?
He also emailed me a quote for a 4 cylinder XLE:
Base MSRP: $25,000
Options added: $5,070
Total: $30,070
Internet price: $26,800 plus TTL
The added options were convenience package, navigation (6.1 screen), heated leather seats upgrade, Moonroof. this one does NOT have the blind spot monitor.
What would be a fair offer for me to submit to the dealer on either of these vehicles?
I really look forward to this car.
