The dealers really wanna move them.
Does anyone know if you can put down a deposit, or leave a credit card in order to test drive alone?
Thanks,

I think I would know the difference, I even have the quote in writing, and it specifically states the MSRP for the LE model and says LE with CF mats.
It's possible if you have a dealer you've dealt with over the years they might (mine does) but to just walk in I doubt it.
However a "test" drive is a test. You need to warm the car up gently, pull out from a stop quickly, take a curve or do whatever you need to do to say that you'd be satisfied. Tell them to buckle up and hang on.
I took a test drive in an Infiniti FX and the guy was showing me the more aggressive features of the car (that is sales person accelerating to 90 mph on a 2 lane road_ and taking curves at 80 in a 45 mph undeveloped area). Then he let me drive it. Needless to say it was the next car I purchased.
Don't abuse a car in the test drive (hopefully you wouldn't abuse your own) but do "drive" it.
I really think it depends on the dealer. I know when I was considering an Acura and Infiniti the dealers just handed me the keys and said have fun. I never had to ask to test drive alone. The Nissan dealer also let me and my wife test drive the new Altima alone. It was a different story when I test drove a Toyota and Honda.
However I did figure out how to test drive a Toyota without a salesman. I brought 3 other people with me and asked to test drive a Camry. I told the salesman that I wanted to test drive the car with the people that I brought with me. There was no room for the salesman so he just stayed at the dealership. You may try that...
Just bought the Camry. Bought it from Longo Toyota. Paid $20200. So $18428 plus tax, license etc. This was for the LE only option was the CF mats. I got a japanese built one. I bought nothing else, did not finance, paid cash. No trade in, nothing else. Way under invoice. Email me if you want the salesman's name.
When you say invoice, are you including the Destination Fee ?
Are the prices on the Options are fixed ? Here is an example
Details for Option D - $1,940
- JBL® AM/FM EJ)
- 50 State Emissions (FE)
- Aluminum Wheel (All Season) (AS)
- Moonroof Package(SR)
Is this $1,940 negotiable ?
Appreciate y'r opinion

One of my local dealers runs "specials" every Friday.
It's usually 2-5 cars per an event. The deals are being advertised in the paper.
In order to get one I had to go to the dealer's still locked gates at around 5 a.m. and obtain a ticket from a security guy.
Then I went home and came back right before the opening, presented my ticket to a sales person and completed the purchase.
No negotiations or other BS.
The only thing is that you can't choose the color. This time they had 3 silver cars, last week - 5 blacks, before that - reds.
FE EJ AS SR CF R7
How much I can bring down the price further ?
Appreciate it
I tried the $17995 specials around the LA area but I specifically wanted a Japanese built one, so I had to pay the extra $400 at Longo.
I am looking to buy a 207 Camry (CE or LE) in the next two weeks in the Philadelphia area. Anybody with previous buying experience, please connect. Would like to know which delaer you went to and what price you paid for it. Currently, I am being offered 20k for a LE and 19k for a CE. I do want the remote keyless, so I might go for the CE+Keyless for 19.6K. Are these prices ok.
Please help.... Urgent!!!
They're close enough to you, to make it a worthwhile and simple shopping experience
$30,100
TTT's
$31,326.71
Both lines have the exact same drivertrains for the 4-cyl models - the engines being sourced from the US with the A/Trannys coming from Japan- so there is no difference there.
But while on the lot, I've checked a couple of the Japanese cars and compared them to an American unit.
During a brief examination of the US interior, I've found some uneven gaps in the dashboard area, while the Japanese cars had none.
Being extremely anal about details, I then proceeded to examine with a fine-tooth comb my Kentucky sourced car.
To my surprise, I've found the same slightly misaligned dashboard pieces, plus a steering wheel horn pad that isn't
perfectly centered and has a little bit larger gap on one side than the other. It functions perfectly though.
To be fair, most folks would probably never notice the little things I've just mentioned but the fact is the Japanese cars I've checked featured more precise interior assembly.

Please respond. Thanks
Sorry, stupid questions but I am a novice buyer. I do need help here ):
Are you saying you got a better deal (on equivalent model and optioned cars) than the Fitzmall prices? If so, then assuming the local dealer isn't adding a bunch of additional charges then you should get it. If they play funny games or add additional fees, go get it at Fitzmall. You don't have to waste a lot of time.
You may find some place willing to let some loss leader go (you can't choose color or options you want), but you'll be doing an awful lot of haggling and searching to try and save that last 50 bucks.
Fitzmall always have very good no-haggle prices, if you can match them locally, go for it.
thanks
Between, what r these extra costs they could add....
Also, by reading last few posts, I am going to ask for a Japanese built car. Would that be the best? Reading other posts, I also see that cars built after Oct 1 may not have the transmission problems
Thanks for answering my questions....
Good luck.
Now if we could only get some of that into the SouthEast monopoly.

For instance, your taxes could be $200 or they could be $2000....a big difference as to how good the deal on the car was. You could have no doc fee, or 699 doc fee.
IS THIS GOOD?
Took a test drive and was astonished to see the interior build quality issues (panel gaps, misaligned panels) referred to in the Edmunds Long Term Road Test log http://blogs.edmunds.com/roadtests/!discloc=.ee94e80&nopopup=1&cat=2007ToyotaCam- ry, in each of the 3 different cars I looked at(!) The test drive car also had noticeable squeeks. Couldn't believe they'd use it for the test drive - not a good first impression! The panel gaps, etc. were also right on the dash - and stuck out like a sore thumb to me. This may not be an indicator of reliability, but boy, not something I would have expected to see.
Any thoughts would help. Thanks
Good luck with your decision.
Thanks. B/w I have an offer of 18900 + TTL for a LE 07 Camry Silver.
Which dealership are you receiving the '07 Camry LE Automatic for $18,900? Does that include the floor mats?
Anyway, enjoy the car - other than those issues, it seemed like a nice!
I was under the impression earlier that I needed to have the jbl system to be able to get a factory XM radio in the camry.
I live in SoCal and there is not much on terrestrial radio that I enjoy. So XM is a Godsend to me.
Has anyone got the xm factory radio without having the jbl system?
Thanks,
Joe
