There are a few other states that have a credit or an exemption, but not many.
No, my comment before was concerning the guy that said he bought a loaded TCH for $24K. My point being that's all I have in mine, but had they been available for $24K with discounting then I could had effectively gotten mine for $18. His $24K claim is a little unbelievable (again unless he married the dealers daughter).
Credits only reduce your tax obligation. And as many have complained, if you pay the AMT the credit doesn't help. The AMT is designed so that people with a certain income and expense level still pay a "fair" (governments view) share of taxes. From what I can see (it was complicated to fill out) the AMT affected business owners and "normal" tax payers in areas where they had large deductions due to high mortgage interest. (Here in WV a $500,000 California cottage only costs $125,000 so we don't have the huge mortgage interest expenses to write off.)
My boy is a VT co-op; he's home this weekend. Hokie Nation is hurting right now.....
That's gotta be tough. It's tough enough for young people to be exposed to war and terrorism, but sensless acts of violence from crazy people to occur is tough for anyone to understand. The worlds hard enough to adjust to. This just makes them wonder "why".
But hey, co-op'ing at TMMWV is a great opportunity! Congrats to YOU, (has to help with him working)
If I were buying now without the WV credit, I would go out of state if I had to,to get some of the deals others are getting. I'm curious to see if they quit dealing again as the gas goes over $3 and demand goes back up.
Thanks.
I also bought extended warranty for $815 + 7% tax = 872. I told them that I have 2 quotes of $880 from out of state dealers, and since it is out of state there will be no tax. He was more than glad to match it in a way that the total amount I paid him, including tax, was lower than the out of state dealers. This would be a nice deal of non-NJ people - 7yr/100k for $815!!

I posting this message to help people like me who don’t have any negotiation power or perseverance to survive in the world of pressurizing old fashioned sales people.
I enquired the price of Altima through phone. I was foolish to drive 150 miles to the dealer believing the price he had offered me. Reach there, I come to know from them that it was a trick to get me to their dealership. The sales manager seems to be proud of this tactic and he bragged that he sold 200 cars last month in the same way. For your information forum users, I am talking about Quirk Nissan.
The next day, I started looking for a different car. Test drove two other mid sized sedans, decided on Toyota Camry. Got a better deal in my own small town. No negotiations, all through phone. Thanks to the cost numbers I got from the forum.
Camry LE price - 19587 (including floor mat 199+ Mud guard 0$)
MA tax 5% - 979 $
Doc Fee 160$
Inspection 29$, title 86$, title preparation 5$
Total OTD price - 20846$
Local bank finance is available at 5.9% .
The office people very nice and I was watching them dealing with other customers when I was there. Altogether it was a pleasant experience and the sales people were very different from the ususal bunch I have seen in other places.
The dealership is Haddad Motors, Pittsfield MA.
I am happy with the car and deal i got. thanks once again for helping with all the information. I will post any valuable information i get in future
07 Camry LE, auto, 16" alloy wheels $410, mats $199, chrome exhaust tip $65. Total $22,340
From my reading this site I should be able to get it OTD for $20,000-$20,500. Is this close to what I can buy for in NC?
they call the other dealers or do they have access
to the inventory information of other dealers?
And, how long does a locate take?
Just trying to understand the process ...
Thanks!
In-Laws: Basic Camry LE (w/CF) - $18,495
Me: Basic Camry LE V6 (w/CF) - $20,758
Father:
Camry XLE V6 (fully loaded w/NAV & Lojacks) - $26,979
Hope this helps others.
if the car is in their lot for one month or more then you can get some discount on price.
What I am trying to find out is how long does it
take for a dealer to do a locate. If I ask for some
specific options, and the dealer says he does not
have that particular combination of options and will
have to "locate", and says it will take a week to do
the locate, is it reasonable?
For example, if I have to locate it myself, I see
that I will have to call the dealers one by one to
find out if they have a particular combination of
options - say body side molding and rear spoiler.
That is because some dealers have their inventory
on their website, and some do not. Even those that
do list the inventory, have only basic search
options based on trim levels.
Do the dealers go through the same process? Or do
they have a dealer network or toyota network that
they can tap into to access this information much
faster?
Thanks!
If you go to Toyota.com, go into build a vehicle, and then check the inventory. Inventory will show all inventory available to the immediate dealer, as well as you can expand the scope to the whole area. You can use zipcode 27609, if your area of the country doesn't have a similar capabilty for customers.

Go to the above link, select the Camry, and then click "Click here to view inventory". After you look at the car inventory, you can go up to the top and expand the search to the area inventory.
Tell them you want carpet mats (CF I think) with the car. Ask for OTD prices.
Was 18,500 an out the door price?

helpful for northeast!
NOT transferred from another dealer?
less than 10? less than 100?
Thanks!
kind of testing they do, and how the distribution happens -
do they get shipped to the dealer straight from the
assembly (after testing, if any) or do they get shipped
to a regional distribution point or something and then
are driven (I hope not!) to the dealership ... I hear
the camry is made in Kentucky.
In your case it looks like it was probably shipped
straight to the dealership. I wonder what is generally
considered acceptable - less than 10, less than 50?
(I understand this will go up if the dealer gets it
from another dealer in a trade.)
Thanks.
I am very picky, but I would only buy one that has never been on a test drive, because you never know what happens on those test drives!
So, your $32,204 OTD might be too high, unless the car is fully loaded with MSRP over $34,500. I would continue getting quotes so that I can use them for my negotiation.
says that there are some colors that do not sell
well (like sky blue pearl, aloe green), so if I am
not particular about the color, I can get a better
discount. Is this true? Sounded a little dubious
to me - one would think that unpopular colors will be
made in less quantity, so things would even out ...
Also, w.r.t. camry, is it true that the dealers do not
always have a choice on what colors they receive from
toyota?
Thanks.
When it comes to getting good deals, it all comes down to your negotiation skills. Some tips include:
- Preparation: Getting as many quotes as you can on the model you want, and knowing what people are paying for it (Thanks to forums like this one).
- Patience: Being ready to spend over 2 hours at the negotiation table and outlasting them.
- Flexibility: Not falling in love with any specific car, model, color, feature, etc.
- And MOST important: Be ready to walk away from the dealership if you can't agree on a price, especially if they try to bully you. There're plenty of cars, and plenty of dealerships carrying them.

The MSRP was $30,379. It seems that I can get more than $4,000 discount. Is that a good deal to go? What do you guys think?
Thanks.
How can I find out how long a car has been sitting on
a lot? Anyway to find out with the VIN number or stock
number or whatever?
