If you're sold on the two tone (Not trying to be mean, I just can't say that I am), $24,800 for that level of equipment is a very good deal, and I'm sure you'll be happy with the Camry, regardless of model designation, for a long time to come...
But still... there's just so few concrete details about the 2002 model.... Either way, best of luck!
Have a great holiday/weekend,
Alpha
Is the the Lexus ,and Camry the same
body? Is there any new changes for the 2002
Camrys that would include a body change? I'd like
a 2002 Camry,and was wondering if there was any
new changes cause I like the way it is now... I
have a 94 Camry ,and love it, I haven't had a bit
of trouble with it.... I heard that the Camrys
are now being made cheaply ,and I went to the
dealership to go look at the Camrys & Avalons,and
it doesn't seem to be made cheaply cause of the
outside mirrors,and inside mirrors being glued
on ,and doors being glued on,and it doesn't look
like anyting is glued on.. Looked at The Rav 4,
Four Runner,e.t.c,and all the mirrors seem to
look the same. I dont know much about cars,but
the mirrors looked fine to me... Thanks in
advance.. Happy Forth Of July weekend
everybody...

Well, I decided to go with the 2001 Camry Collector Edition, even if I still think it's pretty ridiculous to call it a "Collector Edition." When the 2002s come out, I'll probably wish I'd waited, but if I wait for the 2002s, then I'll wish I'd bought the 2001...
Thanks for everyone's help, and good luck with all of your cars!

Camry,but doubt it... I just looked in the
Consumer Guide Cars 2001 Magazine ,and it says
nothing about remodeling the body of the Camrys..
I do think that if the body is gonna be changed
that it would of been in the magazine... I wish
that these people would stop placing pics on
websites and saying that that's the new 2002 Camry
,and let the Toyota website do it instead if
there's gonna be any body change or let the
Toyota company report it to the papers or what
have you. I find this very frustrating ,and I'm
sure everyone does that is car shopping...
Looking for a car to buy is a very big investment,
and I dont think it's nice of these people to be
placing pics of the supposedly new Camry.... In my
opinion the pics do look fake,and find it
frustrating that people just place pics on
websites ,and not think about other buyers being
frustrated and confused...I'm hoping that by next
month or late next month that I have my new car
whatever it may be.... I would really like another
Camry cause I've been happy with my 94 Camry.
The Camry has been the #1 car for so many
years,and their reliablity still stands great,and
I'd rather stick with what I know which is that
Camrys are great,and reliable ,and safe ,and
they're nice looking too... I didn't mean to
offend anybody ,and if I did ;then, I
appologize,it's just that I wish people would stop
placing photos of the Camry when a body change
hasn't been offically announced. Have a great
4th of July weekend everybody....
Good Luck on your future purchase.
Do people really have trouble getting lost?
If price is the most important thing, then get a 2001 since the 2002s are certainly not going to be cheaper to buy.
didn't mean to sound like that.. It just seems to
me that the Camry was just remodeled is all,and I
can't believe that they're remodeling it again...
I've decided on the Camry,and I guess if they're
gonna be remodeled ;then, I'll get a 2001 Camry
because I dont like the looks of the new one....
You know what? I did come off nasty,and I'm sorry
I'm just frustrated with this car shopping,and
looking forward to the day that I pruchase the car
because then the stress of looking for a car will
be over.. I'm presenting job hunting ,and with
car shopping on top of it I'm just stressed out..
Sorry again for the attitude....
P.S. Wish the pics that people are showing are
on here show more of the car, what I mean by
that, is that I wish it showed the whole car not
just the front ,and back because how do people
know if they're gonna like the looks of it when
the 2002's come out in mid or late August or
September.. I live in Michigan, and I went to
Mount Clemens to look at the Toyota's and the
saleman said that they're gonna get their 2002's
mid to late August..
Thanks bdesai!

sunshine60105!
a lot of people were fed up with all the fake pix that were posted on hte maxima/freshalloy/maxima.org boards so i guess i might understand what ur saying better. people were waiting to see how the next gen maxima would turn out so they could go out and buy current gen maxima if they didnt like the new one. then our "buddy" (hehe jk) vinceburlapp got pix of the "new maxima" and a lot of people were ready to plunk down 20-30 large because they didnt like the styling of hte new maxima. luckily it was proven that the pix were fake so some people are still waiting. if it wasnt proven the people that waited probably would have bought the max and regretted the purchase (well maybe not...its a great car! hehe ; P )when the new model came out. ack sorry if this all was confusing!
Hyundais have a bad quality image because they made a lot of junk for a lot of years. Most people have no confidence in Korean cars, that's why they have to give the farm away by offering 10 year powertrain warranties on their new cars.
It is confusing because the people that
are set to get the Maxima or the Camry ,and then
all of a sudden they see these pics,and then they
have to rethink their decision because a car is a
huge purchase,and if your not happy with it once
you take it off the lot ;then, that's gonna be the
owners problem cause the car is theirs once they
drive it off the lot.... I dont want to black ball
myself from any message board forum,but I think
that I'm entitled to my opinion,and shouldn't be
attacked because what I call remodeling some else
doesn't... To me,the Camry is being remodeled...
If you look at the pic of the Camry in Edmunds
and click on the photo section,and print it,and
you go to one of the websites listed in here that
shows the 2002 Camry ;then, you'd see that it's
being remodeled... People are entitled to their
opinion on what they consider remodeling,and
that's my opnion... If you'd like to talk further
about Camrys ;then, please feel free to email at
sunshine60105@hotmail.com,and perhaps we can help
each other with questions that we may have....
Have a great Sunday..
Courtney
I didn't know that it was 1997 that they last
remodeled the Camry,but ;then, again I had lots
of stuff going on ,and that year is a blur to
me...Thanks for the information....
might as well wait for the 2002 based on the coinbox redesign !!
One other note here: Please go easy on the "enter" key. When you are typing your response, you don't need to start a new line. The system adjusts it automatically. Your posts get very hard to read.
Camrys dont appeal to me. Tomorrow I'm gonna go the Toyota Dealerships,and see if I can find exactly what I want... I like the collectors edition,and the Gallery Edition.I agree with that there shouldn't be a problem making a deal with a saleman ,for they wall want to get rid of the 2001 Camrys..
Yes, your right that I shouldn't let this car shopping stress me out...I think a little of the stress is relieved cause I know that I want a Camry,and now the only thing is finding the color I want,and the goodies that I want in it...
I'm not hard to please,so I'll compromise,and bend a little,and I'm sure I'll be happy with my 2001 Camry...
Also thank you for tellin me about the enter button, I had no idea that that made my entrys harder to read.....
Thanks! Happy 4th...

Camry LE (and they list most of the options included) for $16,888 and say 45 in stock.
Is this some sort of regional sales event to clear out the 2001s?
This is called a "screamer ad" and are only meant to drag you into the showroom. Once there, they try to work you for whatever they can above the ad price.
sunshine: i hope my post didtn sound like i was attacking u. i was actually i was supporting ur side of the story because fake pix were causing confusion at the maxima boards too. good luck on ur camry purchase! ; )
I wanted to get another Camry from the very beginning,and it sure looks like I'm going in that direction.I'm defintely getting a Camry,and I'm sure I'll get a deal on it too by that all the dealerships wanna get rid of the 2001's.
I'll let you know how it goes today....
The best course of action is to just ignore inappropriate posts knowing that I will take care of it, or email me. You also could use the Online Support link on the left sidebar of the page to report the violation - but always email me as well, I may be able to get to it more quickly.
Thanks.

I defintely want another Camry..
Anyway I test drove it,and went back to the dealership,and asked the saleman if I could get it
the Collectors Edition with Two Tone Diamond White Pearl/Lunar Mist Metallic with oak interor ,or the Antique Sage Pearl/lunar Mist Metallic with sage interor, or either White ,or Cashmere Beige Metallic XLE with oak interor,and he said he'll see if he can locate one.
For the XLE it's listed as 26,216.00 on the sticker,and the consumer Guide Magazine says that the Retail is 24,095.00. Is 24,095.00 good price to present to the salesman? I was thinking 22,000.00,or 21,094.00. Any feedback would be appreciated..
Now the Collectors Edition's sticker price is
28,089.00.... The Collector Edition is a LE loaded. It says LE on the Camry,and then it says below it Collectors Edition.. I think 28,089.00 is way to much for a LE. The LE with Auto transmission retail is 23,185.00 in the consumer guide... is 24,000.00 a good price for the Collectors Edition which so happens to be a LE?
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks..
I read chloe6's post ,and she made out pretty good except I dont think I'd want to $800.00 more to the 24,000.00 she put out ... Can I present a better price for the collectors Edition? Again, thanks, any feedback will be appreciated..
Gonna go back to the dealership and present the salesman with an price,and if he doesn't except then I may just go to another dealership...There are plenty of White XLE's and plenty of two tone Collectors Edition I'm sure.
The XLE is a different story. In my region, they are fairly scarce, especially with the 4 cylinder engine. You probably would not be able to get as good a deal on one if your area has a similar inventory to mine.
Again, good luck and keep us updated.
you figure out invoice, then deduct around $1500 cause according to where i live there's a $700 rebate and an $800 dealer incentive.... varies by region they say... no restrictions.
so if a car has a $25,500 invoice-- less 1500 gets you to $24000 approx.
you'll love the camry but hate the coinbox.
Thanks for the feedback.I dont think that I am gonna get a Camry from this dealership that I went to because I asked him when I was at the dealership if there was a rebate,and he said"no"
,and then he called yesterday,and said that they're are nine Gallery series but not a 4 cylinder that I want ,and no white camrys except for the one at his dealership that is a 4 cylinder which I dont believe him cause when I went on the internet myself to see about rebates to see if he was truthful I found rebates,which started June 1, and end July 9th,and he failed to mention that,and told me that they're no rebates at this time. I told him that I found rebates ,and he said that it wasn't for this region which is Michigan ,and then he says in another breath that we can include a rebate in the deal,but I wont receive any money back... He tells me that today they're closed cause of the 4th of July holiday,and to give him a call Thursday if I want the car or not... I didn't put money down for him to hold this car,and I'm sure that if someone else can ,and was interested in the car that he'd sell it. This salesman is trying to push the sale,and I wont be pushed.. I'd rather purchase a 2001 Camry else where... This guy has the two most expensive Camrys out in front which is the Collectors Edition,and the XLE,and everybody knows what that means... I agree with what your saying cliffy,and I believe that's what chloe6's is a great deal for the collector's edition. Do you think the price for collectors Edition also stands for the Gallery?
I just dont think that I'm gonna get a Camry from this dealership because he doesn't want to budge.
He said that it would nice if someone paid the sticker price on both which I listed before , so I wont repeat myself... I do agree on 24k goal price,but dont believe that I am gonna get him to agree on that price,and really think that I'm gonna have to go else where.. I'm flexable with what two tone I want,or the color of the XLE,so I'll find someone else that will give me a good deal if this guy wont. I may not even call this guy back if I dont want the car, I didn't put money down, so there's no reason why I should call if I dont want the car. I may call him tomorrow and give him a price,and if he doesn't except ;then, there are plenty of dealerships that will come down on the price on a 2001.. I'll let you know what happens...
Courtney
That sounds great... I'm sure I'll find a dealership that will give me a rebate if this salesman at the dealership that I went to Monday doesn't.
I'm gonna present my offer to him on the phone ,and if he doesn't take it ;then, I'll go else where. Thanks for your help. I'll let you guys know what happens either way... I love it in this message board forum because everybody is so nice and helpful...
2001 Camry has a coinbox? Where is it exactly?
