so i'm afraid i can't offer an insight into the woes
your price is awsome. where did you buy your Camry?
Can you tell me how to deal to get your price?
I've been requesting quotes for Camry 07 (w/o any options) from the dealer, but nothing came close to your price. the lowest quote I got was $19880 + tax, license....
Please help, this is my first time buying a new car
Thanks
I am going to hold off on the dealers name for the time being because I won't have the car in my possession until next week - but here is what happened.
On last Saturday there was an add in my paper were a local dealer was selling the same car for $20295 but you had to add back the college graduate rebate of $400 making the price $20695.
The next thing I did was look at the dealers on-line site were I purchased my last toyota and they list their cost and List price on the cars. Their cost was $19700 for the same car.
Well I took the ad from my local dealer with me and ask them if they could do better. Well after dealing back and forth with the ad I brought with me they finally relented and gave me a price of $20500. A couple of times I started to leave when they didn't come down but they kept coming down because they knew I was buying that day- either from them or the other dealer.
I even had the Inventory numbers of the cars they had for sale for $20290 and I verified that they had them on the lot by going and looking at them when they were closed.
The only thing I can advise is that you do your homework and stand your ground. If you offer a reasonable and knowledgeable price and are ready to buy then and there - you can usually close the deal.
I live in RI - if you are from this area I will post the dealers name next week after I receive the car. Maybe the deal will fall through but I will post those results too. Good luck and good hunting. I hope I have helped.

MSRP on the vehicle was $31,200.
Financing was secured through my local credit union with an interest rate of 6.39%.
I don't like wasting time haggling over prices with salesmen so I used my Costco auto broker to get a no haggle price of $28,480. With both price and interest rate secured, I only had to deal with the ID10T finance manager. She tried and tried to get me signed up for a VERY expensive extended warranty, and a plethora of other useless sprays, sealers and coatings. I said no to everything and she looked at me like I was hurting her feelings. It was a classic moment, and I just had to laugh.
In the end I wrote an $8,480 check for the down payment and financed an even $20,000 with a monthly payment of $391.
Beaverton Toyota gives you free oil changes for life, and this is my second vehicle purchased from them.

I guess if you could get a fairly loaded G35 for $28,000 that is a nice option. The reason they are discounting them is they have already shown off the 07G with new styling. That typically hurts sales of the old ones left on the lot. Still at $28K (assuming you can get one at that price), the G is an excellent car.
How much discount do you get from Costco auto program ?

For the other poster comparing the TCH with a "regular" Camry, my TCH has all options PLUS the NAV for $30,589. The cars similarly equiped are almost the same price. Yes you get a discount of the "regular" Camry. However I got a $500 discount, a $2600 Fed Tax Credit and a $3750 State tax Credit. My cost now < $24,000 for a loaded Camry Hybrid that is averaging 38.95 mpg over 12,000 miles. It's also already saved me > $1000 in gas over what my Infiniti would have cost me.
What do you guys think is the fair price for SE V6 model without any addon. I'm looking to purchase this soon if I can find one in the Houston area.
Thanks
I realize that but every time someone asks this question I got tired of mentioning the Alternative Minimum Tax or their income level.
If they don't pay $2600 in Federal income taxes they either can't afford it or they have so many loop holes filled in their financial reporting that it doesn't matter anyway.
Those of you with the AMT know something that the rest of the world is not even aware of and it's no use in even bring it up just to confuse them.
Also want to thank everyone for sharing their exp. Still trying to set up car. Happy shopping.
Fitzmall in Pennsylvania has one that says that their Factory Invoice (including mats, VSC, and freight) is $20,211, with a delivered Internet Price to me of $20,311.
Can anybody explain why the Edmunds invoice is different? Edmunds shows invoice pricing of $18,592 (base price) plus $620 (freight) plus $520 (VSC)plus $126 (mats) for a total invoice of $19,858 - a lot different than $20,311. Edmunds says that the basic LE (without VSC) is going for around $21,040 with freight.
I wish some other moderate price midsize four-doors like Honda would offer VSC. I tried the Hyundai Sonata but I'm concerned about resale.
Many thanks to all for your feedback and help.
i got a base SE manual 4cyl like this for around 20k I believe (I don't have the paperwork in front of me)
http://www.carsdirect.com/build/style?make=TO&modelid=229&zipcode=20874&trim_gro- ups=4-cylinder,
will show you the differences between the trims, but I would just go with the SE if you are adding those extras. The difference between an LE and SE is $1200 (MSRP), and less off of invoice.
Basically take a look at the SE model. For a price, around 500 above invoice of the car seems to be a good and fair deal for all involved, so try for that.
I am about ready to buy this car and was reading some of the posts. Some of you guys obviously have a lot more experience than I do so let me know what you think.
This is what I am buying:
LE Automatic - White with Ash interior, Sunroof Package, Rear Spoiler, Body side moulding, Carpet and trunk mats.
The price excluding tax and title is about $21,600.00 Is this a good price? It includes the dest. charge.
Any help will be appreciated. (I have looked around with 3 dealers and this is the lowest I got).
The dealer said his invoice is $20,800.
Thoughts?!
I found best deal for LE 2007, premium accessory package plus dealer installed sunroof at 20,700. It is very good deal in my area as camrys do not last more than week in dealer lot
BTW,the car was not as is in the inventory. So, he had to order it made from Toyota. Does that make a difference?
The invoice price does not include any fees that may be charged by the manufacturer to dealers in a particular area of the country, such as local advertising fees. Edmunds.com does not track or provide such local fees.
If an advertising fee appears on the invoice, it is an actual cost that the dealer paid to the manufacturer when buying the vehicle. In other cases dealers may choose to write in their own ad fees on the consumer sales contract. However, in either case these advertising fees are just one example of the dealer's cost of doing business. As with all such dealer-itemized fees, consumers should treat as "negotiable" any advertising fee they are asked to pay.
Well this dealer is going to install sunroof (aftermarket), so I saved money on alloy wheels and JBL. Only thing is shop around your area.

I can not wait to recieve it. I just wanted to let you all know.
Went on 9th to test drive the car. Titanium color. Liked it and had 18 miles on it. Internet manager told me they had another one arriving on 26th. Signed agreement to purchase it if they could deliver by the 30th. Got call on September 22nd stating that the car had arrived. Went on 23rd and paid by check and drove the car home. Only nagging feeling was lack of heated mirrors since it tends to get frosty her in wintertime (no snow). But did not want to push my luck and asking for it and not having it delivered in time. At home I saw the window sticker under the passenger seat and it had the heated mirrors as the extra installed option (what a stroke of luck). So it appears that I had gotten a vehicle $900 under MSRP and there was a $40 less on destination charge since they calculated using old rates, and a free $30 option.
The total time for initial visit was 45 minutes and the delivery of vehicle and signing papers took 45 minutes. The car had 2 miles on it and smelled good. I have used it for 75 miles so far with no major problems.
I have managed to avail myself of the federal tax credit of $2600 and SC tax credit of 20 % of it ($520) for a total of $3150. This makes this $22400 car cheaper than many basic Camrys even if you add all the options. SC dealers seemed to have basic hybrids on their lots and are selling at or below MSRP. I got mine for Dave Edwards Toyota of Spartanburg, SC. Email the internet manager. It was a very professional experience to deal with him and he is a very friendly guy.
I'm looking for a Camry LE Magnetic Grey with only the Vehicle Stability package?
Should there be any price differential for an inventory car versus a "special order"?

I probably missed something. Mine also has options of leather, heated mirrors, sunroof and NAV, so anything a loaded one has besides those are standard.
Spoiler is a dealer (or port) add on and not a factory option for the TCH
That should be for a loaded one. Mine was MSRP of $30,589 loaded.

To elaborate a bit further on wygasguy’s post, the Hybrid has traction and stability control as standard features to control the massive surge of energy at start up from the combination of the electric motor and gas engine ( from what I read). This is not available in many Camry models and costs a bit if added on to.
The keyless ignition is part of the Smart Key system, the feature I appreciate most. Placing the hand behind the door handle on driver or passenger’s side opens the car (with the FOB being in your pocket or purse) and locking the car is just a push of button on the door handle. No need to take out the key or remote at all.
Regarding options, I did not want leather seats since it can be pain in the [non-permissible content removed] (pun intended) in the hot South Carolina summers. I have that experience on my Odyssey. I hardly use the moon roof in that vehicle or heated seats and hence it was not needed on my Camry. I got heated mirrors for free. I would have liked a bigger energy monitor than what is on the base model that does not have the NAV but I do not want GPS navigation. I have laptops (they are inexpensive at $399 after rebate) with gps receivers and 2 programs (Streets and Trips & iGuidance) loaded on to them and the navigation capability is excellent. Besides each year’s disk of Streets costs only $25 at Sam’s club so upgrade is very cheap. The con is that the laptop cannot be placed as good as position as the NAV of the vehicle but I need gps only for long distance travel and in those times I usually have a free front passenger seat or my wife holds the laptop when needed.
