I am going to buy a Camry soon and wanted to find out what the average price people have been paying OTD for an LE (I am also debating about the SE as well). Edmunds has the LE model listed with an invoice price of 20,949. I am new to the car buying market so I wanted to go in with a bit of a solid price range to haggle with (hopefully). I live in CA and was going to go to Longo Toyota and South Bay Toyota. Any suggestions on pricing or dealers is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
msrp 32300.00 and I paid 29700.00 april 28th. They sold 31 cars that day but there was no high pressure.
I had no trade and we got Toyota fanance at 6.99
Love the car except thet you cant get fog lights and fm reception is poor.

There's about 40,000 previous owners that do
However as a "newbee" you might want to read through the Driving Tips and Tricks. There are website links in those discussions that take you to sites with an enormous amount of information on the brakes, batteries and power splitting device as well comments as how to maximize your TCH ownership experience. Chances are if you have a question, it's already been asked and answered. Good reading
Oh, BTW, great price on the Anniversary model.
PLEASE!!! Thanks in advance
I am a foreigner. I am not goot at negotiate with a dealer. Can you send me a copy if you (justmy)got the copy.
Is this a good price or how can I negotiate a better deal. It dosen't seem like there is any Toyota incentives at this time. Should I wait a month? I don't need the car immediately so waiting is not a problem except for the fact that I would like it now, lol!
Any suggestions to a newbie buyer would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
Vicki
What about the price, do you think its a good one or should I try and hold out for some Toyota incentives?
When do the 08 models typically come out?
Vicki
Why? Simple...used car buyers are only interested in bargains...not add on do-dads. Moreover, in five years, everyone will have portable navis.... the built in ones will go the way mobile phones went with the advent of the cell phone.
I promise that you will receive the $20 if you are the first person to email.
Furthermore, your dealer is only telling you this, because he knows you most likely can't get it done. And, if you do, then he'll just say there is some reason that the deal is different from the one you want.
Decide what you want to pay, then offer that to the dealer. Don't bother telling him you saw it on the internet, or give any other reason. "Sell me the car for that number, or I go somewhere else", is usually the best way to negotiate.

Beautiful super white.. with gas around $3.50 ...
Thanks to the forum for the buying advice and a special thanks to Edmunds for all the research...
Well, this is another offer I just made, waiting to hear back. I offered 21,800 OTD.
07 camry le MSRP 24,183
rear lip spoiler 399 CX10
remote start 569 QR90
moonroof 940 SRAT
alloy wheels 410 AWAT
carpet mats 199 PV50
fuel surcharge 16
At fitzmall an 07 LE w/mats is 18762. I took that price and added all the options at MSRP, added tax(3%) and title and tag fees ($72).
I came up with 21,801.
Does this look like a fair deal to me and the dealer?
I'm in a search for a new camry LE 4 cylinder w/ sunroof only.
I've been doing some research and reading helpful forums for a while and I'm thinking of 20,000 OTD to offer to dealers and trying to get the car for 21,000 OTD.
Is this pretty resonable?
I live in Hanover, MD which is near Annapolis.
Thank you
More than a fair deal to the dealer. You added about 2500 worth of options at MSRP list. If you added the options at cost it would have been fair......adding them at MSRP makes it a sweet deal for the dealer (everything between cost and msrp is additional profit).
If you want to, you can figure out each options cost, by creating a spreadsheet and looking at the details of many cars at www.fitzmall.com
By looking at the different cars, you can back into how much the option adds both to the MSRP and the invoice cost. Fitzmall is selling at about 500-1000 under invoice cost at this point in time, depending upon model and age.
Just saw a CE 5spd manual in the paper this morning, for $17,988 (TTL addn'l). To answer your SET question, I'm in NC which is also in the SET area, which adds about 600 to the cost of each vehicle that the dealership (and ultimately you) have to pay.
The reality is that sales are down. The dealers are willing to make good deals, you just have to prove to them that you will not be a sucker.
Start with the Edmunds invoice for the car and options. Be prepared to walk out. Show them that you are serious and its not personal, its just business. If you walk out, call one time with a counter offer and make them call you back. They NEED to sell cars and you hold the money. Good Luck.
Thank You!

My XLE V6 has blue tooth and the JBL stereo and NO navigation. You don't have to have navi to get those.
I would expect the 2007's price to drop further, as we approach the 2008's shipping.....but the inventory selection will drop as well.
You'd probably be looking at about a 1K difference between the new 2008's price (less discounted initially) versus the 2007's. But, you'd have a 2007 car that is a year older already and depreciatively speaking would be worth less.
This is a tough call, since when the new models start shipping you might not find them with the specific options you want, and that seems pretty important to you.
Does anyone know of a good dealer near Charlotte, NC?
I may just make the drive to MD.
I thought my offer would be accepted.
I took fitzmall base price le w/mats and added the other options at MSRP then added tax, title, and fees.
I am leaving room for dealer profit. Camry's must really be selling here.
I did find my local dealer here in Raleigh price match fitz though, so I wouldn't suggest just arbitrarily bumping your offer up.
Look up specific car with options INVOICE price is on this website. Then figure out how much the difference is from the dealership offer price. [Notice that each state might charge TDA (advertising) fees which are the same amount across the board in that state.] After you've decided certain dealerships are giving you a good price on the car, find out specifically what the extra fees are and how much...(this varied GREATLY between the dealerships.) Therefore making the OUT THE DOOR price the best comparison. Email the dealerships from toyota.com stating what car your looking for. I was amazed at how low the offers were. But don't jump on first offer. Hear back from at least 4 dealers before picking one. Also they get real desperate towards the end of the month!!!!! Good luck!
Most people in this thread are paying at, a little over or even below invoice. Not sure how that's to be considered as paying a premium.
options $2,533
delivery charge $675
total $24,183
$21,100 for car and $21,800 OTD
sales tax 3% title & tag $72
rear lip spoiler 399 CX10
remote start 569 QR90
moonroof 940 SRAT
alloy wheels 410 AWAT
carpet mats 199 PV50
