Would appreciate anyone's input as to whether the price I got the car for was a good deal. If anybody got a better price in LA area, please let me know as well as I may be in the market for another one.
SE-V6, Lunar mist metallic from AUSTIN,TX
1.SE-premium PKG
2.Side and curtain Air Bags
I did a special Order for this.. Took 45 Days exactly.
for 23132.00+ttl ( this includes $1000 cash rebate )
OTD=24800
Is this s good price.
THE CAR RUNS GREAT and Very satisfied.
Anyone out there bought an SE in Denver or Colorado Springs or Boulder?
Looking for a 4cyl automatic, and what price to pay.
Have gone back through the last few months of messages and the area here seems $1,000 higher than Chicago for SE 4cyl.
Thanks,
I just bought my '05 Camry LE 2 days ago and my OTD was $19025.00. It came with just 5 floor mats (incldg. trunk mat) and window tint. Color is Lunar mist. This price also included the $1250.00 rebate.
Did I get a good buy, decent or got ripped off?
I am currently offered a OTD price at $19.8 K on a '05 Camry SE Auto. Is that a good price? However, the car has 150 miles on it. Is that a normal mileage on a new car? The sales person told me he has to get it from SD to Simi Valley, and that's why the 150 miles. Has anyone of you ever buy a car from Toyota Towne of Simi Valley? If so how do you like your experience? I just want to hear some opinion on this. Thank you.
Your deal seems to be better than mine. You're getting the safety package for only $572.00 over mine. Which dealer did you get your quote?
Got it for $20,400 before tax/title; $22,400 OTD. I kelly blue booked it and according to that I got it for $200 cheaper than what it said.
Anyone have any opinions on what I paid for it...good or bad??? sorry if i didn't say an important key fact that one would have to know to make a judgement. the dealership has filled my head with a bunch of crap..forgive me. Thanks ahead!

This car has a manual transmission. I called and emailed different dealerships before buying the car and only 3 seemed interested in following up. None would beat this price and all said that other fees would be added on. The closest match was $16,345. No other fees were added when we closed the deal (and we would have walked if they were), so we figured we got a good deal. One dealership told me that all dealerships carry standard models to use as ad cars to get people into the dealership. So if you are looking for a deal, look for the ad cars!
By the way all four dealerships tried to up-sell us to a higher model (ie pay $2,000 or $3,000 more) to get an LE. The only difference between the standard and the LE from what I can see is the power seats, you get to choose a nicer color and you have the option to get the side curtain airbags. We decided that because we will be in the car it doesn't matter what color it is, the less gadgets, the less expensive they will be to repair later on and how often does one really have an accident that generates enough force in the right direction to deploy side airbags? We would rather put the $3,000 we saved into investments.
As all were pushing the LE really hard I think there must be an extra dealer incentive involved in selling this model in this area.
The dealership itself was high pressure, high BS, nasty management and of course they tried to rip us off as much as possible on the trade-in. Advice to anyone trying to trade in a car - go to CarMax and get a trade-in quote. The offer was raised $4,500 (to match less the tax savings) once they saw the quote. It saved us a ton of time and lots of $$$. Of course they tried to sell us all sorts of add-on things, but we didn't go for it.
Now that the dealership experience is behind us - the car is great and we are glad we got this car.
I've been in the market looking around and after reading the recent messages about other people's purchases I am quite suprised. Howcome there are 1000$ off and I only found a 700$ off from toyota.com ? I am getting the following quotes right now, could you tell me if its a good deal or am I just being fooled...it's my first car purchase and I haven't had much experience with the pricing
New 2005 Camry LE, Automatic V4 + Moonroof+ Heated Leather Seats
Quote 1 : $21,195 + taxes
Quote 2 : $20,800 + taxes
Quote 3 : $19690 + taxes
The lowest quote I am getting from an out of state dealer in MI but I keep getting told by the other dealers that this dealer is pricing it too low and there'll be a catch once I get there....Any advice on how much I should ask for is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks very much
Rob :confuse:
What dealer in Michigan gave you the lowest price?
subject.
The best i can get right now is $19000 (after all the rebates and
discounts) OTD with private financing from Toyota Universe on route 46 in
little falls. I also want to add side air bags to the car and that would
be on top of $19000.
Could someone please suggest me what price range i should look at in NJ
and maybe if someone got a car recently, i can use the same dealership.
I will really really appreciate the responses.
Thanks
Andy
check my post from 2 -3 weeks back for prices in NJ. I dont know what discounts you are eligible for (ie graduate rebate etc).
Camry LE with 750 rebate should be around 17.5 K in NJ...
Thanks.
The Sandman
Decent?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot
I am from TN and closet I got from my TN dealer was 22500 + 250 processing fees and this dealer was also 60 miles away from my home town dealer.
Interestingly KY dealer did not charge me processing fees and they even sent me $ 50 check in mail which I don't know for what is that for?
It was very difficult for me to find minearl green color esp. with the above mentioned combination.
At that time there was 700$ toyota rebate and 1000 $ coupon. I don't who provided that coupon toyota or dealer because most of the dealers in TN and KY were offering that $ 1000 coupon.

I know the dealer made some money on the sale. But can someone tell me how much money they probably made on this deal? Could I have saved more money? I was looking for a basic LE. Got one (Aspen Green Pearl)that had only the shield package which the dealer was willing to sell for 17,250 and another mineral green with The Extra Mile Option Package A for 17,450. While test driving the second vehicle I accidentally stumbled upon the one that I bought (with Package D + other stuff) and after completing negotiation for the first tow vehicle I once again negotiated for the 3rd one and left with that vehicle. I could have gotten the vehicle for 17,500 since the sales manager had overlooked the allow wheel option on that vehicle but my brother, who had accompanied me to the dealership pointed out that it is cool that this vehicle has allow wheels. I saw a puzzled (genuine) look on the manager’s face and that is when they went through the paper works one more time and updated their price to 18,500. Well after 15 min of negotiation we came to the final price of 17,850.
So, that was my story. How did I do? Please be completely honest even if that involves brutality..
reason I ask is I am thinking of going out of state to purchase this camry and don't want to stress the car too much driving it back home.
thanks
Ken
thank's.
I just left Toyota of Plano with a 2005 Camry LE (V4 automatic, Lunar Mist) + mats for 18700 after TTL. It includes $1500 promotion discount, $100 discount (for not having the car when promised), and a $400 "Recent Graduate Program" discount. The salesman we dealt with was very honest, very straightforward, and very nice (for a change!). All the information he had was on the table; he didn't try to hide any of his numbers from us; and he was truly a customer advocate, fighting for our every dollar. I would highly recommend him!!!
If you want the specifics, just email me!

Thanks.
salesperson who is willing to work for you. In my limited new car buying
experience (4 new cars in past 10 years), I have not met one yet.
I bought a 05 Camry LE about 5 weeks at Toyota of Richardson (where my
wife bought her 96 Camry in 1995). Even I got a very good price ($19,300 OTD for
05 LE with extra mile package, alloy wheels, door sills, tint window, and
7 year/75k extended warranty), but I had to say the buying experience was not
present.
I went to Toyota of Plano too. The salesperson and manager were refused
to negotiate for 05 LE with floor mat at $17,200 before tax and tag even I showed them that Toyota of Vandergriff at Arlington offered me the same deal. So I left
the dealership. I was surprised that no one called me later from Plano since most
dealerships will call you why did not buy the car at your first shopping stop there.
I then went to Toyota of Richardson, presented the same deal, but they did not have
the color (mineral green) with floor mat only, instead they have one with extra mile A and alloy wheel, tint window, door sills. The car had about 200 miles on it when
I had the test drive. The next day I offered 18,000 before tax and tag, no deal.
Three days after, they accepted my offer (OTD $19,300).
Dealships are entitled to make money. But the way they treat buyers?????
I am just glad now we have web site like this one to give us better fighting tools
when buying a new/used car.
By the way, we love our Camrys. The 96 has never had any problems (now has
100K miles). I hope the new Camry will do the same.
Good luck, and enjoying your new Camry.
The price before the TTL was 19200.
Any thoughts?
Ken
