A reporter is looking to speak to consumers who were looking at mid-size vehicles and were choosing between a four and six cylinder engine but chose the four cylinder because of fuel prices or to save money.

Leesburg Toyota, VA. Paul & Jason, tricks and surprises as expected from any dealer, firm pricing but soften up easily when presented with evidence. very smooth talking. very pleasant to talk to, especially Jason, young man with a passion for sports cars. Highly recommended.
Seattle area, two weeks ago: $21,300 0% 60 Months. I's the base LE Auto, with only floor mats and a rear bumper guard added on the window sticker price. Nothing like some of the prices here, but thought I'd post anyway. Went out for a drive and pie and coffee, stopped by to sit in a Camry and Corolla. Didn't talk price or go for a test drive. The 0% planted the seed, though. Went home and checked Edmunds real quick. Made one phone call, asked what is your bottom line price on a base LE. $21,300 was the answer, $150 below Edmunds price. Went to that dealer, test drove a Corolla then Camry. Camry won, then it was on to the paperwork part. Got body side moldings, but nothing else in add-ons or warranty. I think the Body side moldings and mud flaps should be standard equipment, but whatever... My sister loves it. I wash it on Sunday's. Replaced a 2001 Camry CE 5 sp manual that I had bought new in Summer '01. That's now with my nephew, replacing a '93 Prism, my Sister's last car!
We just purchased a 2011 XLE w/leather, heated seats, NAV, smart key & floor mats for $26,088 + TTL. With 0% & 2 yrs scheduled maintenance, this was the time to pull the trigger. We traded in a 2005 XLE with all the same features except smart key. I have to say this car is a joy to drive. Good pickup for a 4 cyl. and as quiet as a Lexus. I look forward to many years of pleasure driving it!
hey, could you please confirm that this is a new 2011 model? also, how did you get them down to 17534? which evidence did you put forth? thanks so much
The processing fee's should be added to the cost of the vehicle....that's all dealer profit.
You just leave out the DMV title and licensing charges, and city/county/state taxes. Those vary state to state. That way everyone can compare in an apples to apples comparison.
If a single particular person is doing their own deal evaluation they should use the OTD price.
hi folks,my local toyota dealership down here in hollywood fla is running a special for online customers.2011 camry base model with auto for $16,788.00. plus TTT and dealer fee's..is this a good price???
I'm new to the car buying business, but used Edmond's as a guide. I'm curious how the deal I managed stacks up:
2011 Camry LE for $21,300 with 0% financing.
No other fees (besides DMV cost and taxes) and it also includes these accessories: auto-starter, security alarm, alloy wheels, cargo net, and emergency health kit.
The alloy wheels were a freebie, as the only car they had in the color I wanted happened to have alloy wheels. The cost of the extras alone go for about $1500 (I think) so figure I made out okay.
It's a clear piece of very thin film, that gets applied across the top of the bumper. It covers the area where when you had the trunk open, that you might drag something across the bumper and scratch it.
My girls have been driving it to school daily, and putting book bags in and out all the time. They haven't scratched any paint yet. Don't have the applique, and I think if one is careful you don't need it.
After approaching many dealerships in the metro Detroit area, I got a 2011 Camry XLE-V6 with value#1 package for $26,950 +other fee (tax+doc fee+title+license plates) and 0% financing for 60 months.
Other dealers in the metro Detroit were quoting higher by $3000 on average.
what is the Toyota mfg MSRP sticker of the vehicle (to be sure of apples to apples comparison), and how much were the doc fees (added on dealer profit)?
Here's a comp, about 1K higher MSRP, and about 200 higher in price to consumer.....as compared to your deal. Your doc fee is reasonable as well at 190.
So you didn't get 'taken', which is what I think most people really care about.
I want to thank you for the information on your buying experience with Jim Barkley Toyota in Asheville, NC. I live in Charlotte (130 miles from Asheville) and was initially just looking at dealers in a 90 mile radius of home. The folks at Jim Barkley were the easiest to deal with (they listed their no-haggle price for each car on their website) and they had the lowest prices, by far (also don't charge a doc fee). I saved over $2,000 vs the local Charlotte dealers. At first, I was a little skeptical that they were the real deal, but the car was ready and we were out the door within 30 minutes of our arrival.....I am a VERY satisfied customer.
Forgot to give details of price paid on July 29th purchase from Jim Barkley Toyota in Ashville, NC: 2011 Toyota LE 4cyl auto, mats, upgraded radio w/bluetooth and Ipod, and LE extra value pkg 16" 7 spoke alloy wheels. MSRP: $23, 789 Discount: $4,901 Price before Tax/tag:$18,888 Tax (3%): $566.64 Tag: $68 Total Out-the-door: $19,522.64 (There was no doc fee!!!!)
Hi Guys, I am getting a toyota camry SE V6 with leather interior for 27000 dollars OTD. Is it really good deal? They are offering me 0% Apr for 60 months. Thanks.
assuming the msrp wasn't hiked to include dealer add-ons like leather protection, and assuming your fees other than tax was $300 or so, it appears they're offering car at 83% of the MSRP. To my way of thinking, that's a great deal.
Any one know what exterior color would allow the tan or beige leather interior/dash choice? Most interior colors seem to the ash/gray. I'm trying to decide what my limitws are as far as exterior color so that I can get the tan interior.
I had the same problem: wanted the beige interior, which serious limits the available exterior colors. I ended up with a white car, but gold/champaign, Barcelona red also comes with the beige interior. I did in fact see a blue car with a beige interior as well. Good Luck!
It sounds like a very good price. Does the price inclued dealership fees, destination, handling fees and etc.? Also do you mind sharing the dealership name and the location?
price is $16,788.00 plus dealer fee's of 699.00 which i got cut down to 499.00 plus TTT and the dealer is hollywood toyota in hollywood,fla......however,this deal is on hold for the moment because i recieved another quote from another dealer for a 2011 hyundai sonata for $18,000.00 and is a whole lot of more car than the camry is so i'll have to research the two and see what i can come up with....i'll keep you posted.....
Go with the Sonata. We bought our kid an Accent from Coconut Creek Hyundai, we live right across the street, and had a pretty good buying experience. Checked out the new Sonata last week and it's a lot of car for the money. Having had a few Camry's as rentals, think the Sonata is a better looking car overall inside and out. Something about it says fresh while the Camry looks like an older persons car, eventhough the Camry is a nice ride. Hyundai has finally come of age with fresh designs and much improved reliability which would make it the logical choice. Good luck with whatever you choose. You seem to have bought a few cars over the last few years...is there a special reason as to why? Would love to try something a bit different eventhough I'm very pleased with my Civic. $ is holding me back though plus I drive about 7k per year which will go down drastically when I retire in the next few months. Just not logical to buy something new at this point in time!

Damn...sorry to hear that. Bet you live somewhat near us...we're in Coral Springs. Did your insurance pay you full price to replace the Civic? So what cars do we have now?

MSRP was around 29K, but Edmunds had invoice at about $26,400, so I was satisfied. Especially because of the 0% financing. That's like using layaway but getting to drive it before it's paid off! XM comes with a 90 day trial; after that, you pay. We'll probably let our run out unless we get a deal.
Our daughter got a trial XM subscription with her new Hyundai Accent but let it run out and the last call I got was for her to pay $3.99/month...a killer deal but she declined. Do nothing and I'd bet towards the end there, you'll score the same or similar deal. My next car will definitely have it...it's that good...but I'll use the same strategy. The sales folk seem to have the authority to offer a ridiculously low mothly fee. Just be patient!
