i hope prices will get better!
Yes, we were suprised about getting both. The Fitz guy told me on phone that all their cars would be marked up $500 when the zero percent interest went into effect. But I kept looking and the Red one never went up friom the $19,288.
Even when I went to dealership, I kept expecting to hear about the 'error' regarding the $500 . . . but it never happened.
And best if you leave out all the info about your clunker, the taxes paid to your state, etc., as that just confuses the issue for those who are reading and trying to determine what is a good deal.
Just look at the bottom of the window sticker, multiply by .844 and go from there.

But talking about options is the wrong way to try to ascertain what is a good deal. It just confuses the issue and makes the numbers almost meaningless. Just stick with whatever the window sticker is for the car you are interested in and go from there.
Please look at my earlier post and the post by au74. We clearly show that we paid 84.4% of the window sticker. And the dealer is still making money off of us. So that gives you a beginning point.

Fitz charges a processing fee of $99 (at least in Maryland), but I've seen posts here referring to much larger numbers at other dealers (IIRC $599). Fitz also charged a $12.50 title processing fee, but it may be mandated.
Wish I had had a Fitzmall closer to me, but would have had to drive over 200 miles and would have had to drive my poor old clunker plus another car to do the deal I wanted. I could have saved another $1000 or the clunker I swapped could have broken down and I would have lost out on the $4500 as well as a couple of lost days in travel. That's why I said there were too many variables for you to get my deal or for me to get yours.
I didn't mention anymore about the clunker deal because I thought it just adds more confusion to the numbers since it is not relevant to what amount you can get the dealer to come down in price.
However, in fact, I did do the $4,500 clunker deal. And like au74 (I think it was him) I only got one dollar above the $4,500. No real salvage value like you got.
And like au74, when I asked about it, I got something like . . . the full price dealers will give you some salvage, but since we are rock bottom on prices, no such deal with us . . . we get $50 from government or some such bla, bla, bla. And like au74, I never sought to bicker over a couple of hundred dollars since the deal otherwise was thousands below what I could get anywhere else. Dan Cava, et al would only come down $1,200 or so from window whereas I got $3,500 or so off of window.
Sticker price on the car was 26,900 with the 200 for floor mats.
The salesman said he would give 200 over what he said was "invoice", making it 25,950. He also offered 0.0% interest for 60 months. With the 2000 for my trade in and TTL, it was 25,750 OTD.
Is this a good deal? What are other people paying for the 6 cylinder SE?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you.
Please email me the name of the dealership and saleperson.

However, that was a couple of weeks ago. Stocks of Camry LE have fallen and now they want full invoice price at Fitzmall, or about $1800 more than I paid. If you can, wait a few weeks until they have more inventory and see if the prices come back down.
How much were you asking below invoice?
Initially was interested in a 2009 Honda Civic EX Auto, but got lied at from the Salesperson at the Honda Bradenton Dealership (artificially inflated price by Clunker NOT being tax deductible, plus made up a Registration fee of $599 which I knew was [non-permissible content removed], but he insisted that this is the real cost. Also insisted that State Taxes be applied before Clunker deduction, which he also insisted was true). Got a out the door price of $15,000, which I would have been willing to pay $14,500. This would be a cash deal, as finance rates were too high.
Went to the neighboring Toyota dealer and finally settled for the Toyota. For $4'300 more, I have a larger and more comfortable car WITH stability control, also a 2010 model versus the 2009 Honda.
Car would have been $18,800 cash, but dealer offered me *ZERO percent Financing for an additional $500 upfront. Now, that is for 5 years / 60 month - SWEET!
This dealer had the highest car dealer fee of $699 and also tried to cheat with tag/title fees. Well, maybe they all do. Sticker price was slightly over $24,000, which included the overpriced car mats.
I think I could have done better / paid too much, but only had Friday left to make the purchase, as I was going out of town Saturday, with C4C ending Monday.
Started negotiating around 5pm and walked out around 10pm.
Any thoughts? :shades:
what was the price after your clunker was deducted (3500 or 4500?)
One of the dealer provided the following quote and I wonder is this a Good deal or Not?
Car price 20841 + doc fee of 460 + 6.25% tax = approx 22603 is OTD
I will use the grad discount which will bring OTD to approx 21600 financed for 5 years.
I do not want to lose the 0% offer and the time is running out. Not sure if Toyota will continue this 0% next month or not when there will be more inventory.
Any suggestion or dealer info that any of you have dealt with successfully in paying less than what i have been offered in the MA, CT or surrounding states will be greatly appreciated.
I am looking to purchase a 2010 Toyota Camry with Cloth/Leather Seats and Navigation and wanted to know if you can help me out. In my research on this forum I didn't see a lot of people purchasing cars with the navigation, so I wanted to get some info on how much I should be expecting to pay.
I need the car for my work in Ohio but I am willing to purchase anywhere there is a deal. If you are looking to make a purchase I can also join you and maybe we can get a better deal.
Thanks for the help

While C4C was going on dealerships wanted MSRP for it making it $29,758.40 OTD for the car. CRAZY!!!
Now that it is over and the 0% is still going on the lowest price I can get for the car is $26,850 OTD with 0% APR financing. That saves me $681.60 from the $25,800 OTD with 2.9%. Is this good? I need to buy by tomorrow.
Any particular dealer that I can try to get this deal to 20K flat out the door?
Any help will be appreciated
Good luck.
0% offer ends on 9/8/2009
Tustin Toyota, Irvine Power Toyota, Hollywood Toyota, and SouthBay Toyota all offered $20,900. A auto-broker offered me $20,200+TTL over the phone so I emailed the dealers if they can beat that. One of the dealers responded by saying if I get that in writing, he'll beat that.
LE model w/sunroof, 4 cyl, no allow wheels..
21,000 + (664 fee -tax?)
$0 down - toop was $700 which included 1st months payment and mv fees.
$267.22 per month, standard 36 month lease
The only thing is.. our lic plates and registration have not arrived yet. It's only been a little over a week, since the temp ones expired. We got the car end of July.
Does this happen often to people?
Just wondering what to do (I have called them).
would you please send me the details of your deal to noteasyway@yahoo.ca?
I am also looking for Camry 2010 LE Model. The price $20,303.00 seems to be good deal since i talked to many car dealers in bay area. can you please let me know sales rep name of capital expressway so that i can talk to them to see whether i can get the same deal.
appreciate your reply.
MSRP: $23,xxx
$22,835.97 OTD
2010 Camry LE/ Auto
Magnetic Grey
Options: Floor mats, vehicle protection package
0% interest in lieu of the $1000 rebate
Comments: Houston Dealers would not budge...had to work hard to get it under $23,000 OTD. Added extra warranty, vehicle service contract (camry takes premium oil now???), and Lo-Jack. My logic:
1. Extra warranty - good for 100k miles, fix a broken A/C in the Texas heat would pay for itself. Also 0% interest
2. Vehicle Service Contract - figured at 0% it would be better than paying out of pocket come major maintanence time.
3. Lo-Jack - wife wanted it, but it does help to save with insurance premiums. Should pay for it itself over the life of the loan.
All of those 3 items were negotiated at a lower rate with the finance guy (the haggling doesnt stop at the final car price!). Final OTD was ~26,000 , no down payment, 0% interest for 60months.
***0% rate expired on 9/8/09. I believe toyota is now running $1000 off or 2.9% for 60 months
my friend has to get some one off his current lease contract(reason unknown), which i was told is not possible. it is a 07 jeep commander v6 in excellent condition. his payoff on it is roughly 19,700 with 14 months left on the lease. the dealer offered him 15k for it as a trade in, so he is already going into this deal upside down -$4700
now, the car he was looking to finance ( he doesn't want to lease again) is a 2010 Camry se w/ sunroof and 16' aluminum rims and i think the sport package, im not sure... but i think thats about it.
so after a few days of trying to bring the price of the car down, and the offer for the trade in up, the numbers are looking something like this
trade in negative $4700
camery se 4 cyl, auto, with 16' aluminum rims, sun roof ( possible sport package?) including destination charge and the other stuff beside tax tittle etc... $25,100
he is not putting any money down and they are giving him 9% apr @ 72 months, his monthly payment was quoted to be $593.00
i dont know what to think of this deal, especially because of the trade in with negative equity.
on 1 hand i think it is ok, because
#1 he is not putting any money down
#2 he is getting out of a gas guzzler and into something much cheaper to fill up( some savings right there)
#3 i dont know if he could get a better offer on his jeep, or is 15k a bad offer?kbb has it at 16k for trade in
#4his credit is pretty much shot, and his co signer is barely pushing 670 fico, so i dont know if the 9% apr is good or bad for his situation, (im guessing 9% is as good as it will get)i could very well be wrong
#5 probably his most important reason, he needs to get out of the lease to remove someone, asap.
but on the other hand
#1 if it were me i would not pay $25,100 for that car, but i do know dealers like to do some sort of seesaw when it comes to buying your trade in, than selling you a car, like they will give you a "good" price on your trade in, than try to kill you on the price of the car, or vise versa
#2 i dont know if i would obligate myself to a 72 month term of 9% apr
but that is just me, his options are limited, is this the best deal he can get?
is this deal good, bad or mediocre?
Is this coverage worth it or would I be better of canceling it?
Thanks,
Chris
