I bought CE instead of LE as the difference was only the keyless entry and Power seat. My other car has the power seat and have used it only handful of times in a year. I might install remote lock/unlock system at a later time. In my opinion the Prius is costly as I did a break even calculation using the excel spreadsheet(using $4/gallon gas). The price difference was unacceptable. This car is just for my daily usage of 80 Miles.
If you are going to get an XLE anyway, it may be worth it to some, but the cost of upgrading from and LE just so you can get nav probably would never be worth it. JBL is also part of nav, so that's why the nav is cheaper on the XLE (that has standard JBL than it is on the Hybrid. It's over $2000 for Hybrid models.
I would probably get the nav for $1200 if I were to get an XLE, but I only need an LE and would use a portable nav if I were to get a Camry.
The screen would actually be higher on the factory nav because I would rather keep the portable down low behind the cubby door so I wouldn't have the hassle of having to move it and hide it somewhere else whenever I parked.
I have already tested this scenario with a rental Camry and it was usable especially since I rarely had to look at the screen. I could rely on the audio alone for instructions 99% of the time and it was still in my lower peripheral vision even being that low. If it says "Turn right on Main Street in 500 yards" there is no reason to look at the screen. I could probably get by with the screen turned off most of the time.
Just bought the 2009 Camry LE (Base model without any options) from Cherokee County Toyota in Georgia today at a total drive out price of $20,850. The price includes dealer fees, Fulton County Sales Tax, Tag etc. and the entire process was smooth and done in one hour.
Just curious.
If I were inclinded to want (or need) a NAV system, the advantage for me for the built in model would be the screen size. The portable units I have used are too small for me to see without putting on my reading glasses. Even the newer 4.5" screens are too small for my tastes. They, like all options, will depreciate substantually, but it will add some appeal on resale, no matter how out of date it is. In the case of the TCH it shopuld provide a lot of interest though. I wouldn't want a Hybrid without the energy screens.

"I would rather keep the portable down low behind the cubby door."
How well did the portable unit pick up the satellites with it mounted so low? I would prefer to mount a GPS lower in the car for the same reasons you stated, but assumed that would seriously degrade its performance. (Did you use an external antenna?)
Anyone have an idea?
Any feedback would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
I am in market for a car right now and you seem to have gotten a good deal. Which dealer did buy your car? I live in bay area as well.
Thanks!
LOL, yeah but increased depreciation does not mean "worser" resale value. That particular option will depreciate at a higer rate than other option, but will still have value. Again though, I would never buy it in a non hybrid vehicle.

We are from Wisconsin and have a MSRP of $30,497 for the 08 with leather heated seats/sport pedals/JBL AM/Stereo CD changer, 50 state emission/ rear spoiler, power tilt moonroof, vehicle stability and the full floor/trunk mats, first aid kit, cargo net. Their is rebate of $1500 and they are offering another $800 reduction in cost. Any thoughts on this deal? Thank you...
MSRP: $30149 (White or Red)
OTD: $25258
There probably isn't much selection of 2008s left though.
I'll wait for 0% financing on 2009
I wonder if it had anything to do with the dropping USD
and I wonder if it had anything to do with some of the quality control issues--reliability reports for the V6 Camry are slipping and that was one of the bedrock parts of their fleet---
It's not a losing quarter, as in they had negative income, they still had profit, just less. And with Toyota's profits, that's still truckloads of money that they made.
Not surprising at all, considering the economy...
MSRP = $30169
OTD = $26353 + TTL
Also, got them to throw in door sill enhancements. Don't know if it's a good deal or not but there is no looking back now. We did view the dealers invoice and we got the car for $500 under invoice. There were only 2 cars in that color in our metro area so the shopping around was VERY limited.
I got our deal in St. Joseph, MO. Are you saying that they offered you a total of $1300 under invoice or the special APR? The special apr is a sweet deal if you can get it. For example, the deal I got if I got regular finance for 60 months, I would be paying an addditional $4000 vs my 2.9% for 48 months.
They gave me dealer hold back money, they told me it was $500 which put me under invoice but who knows, maybe it's more than that, I just don't know. I also know that Toyota is offering $500 rebate or special APR. The fact that I saw the invoice, I'm pleased with the deal and I know that I didn't pay more for the car then what the dealer paid. Getting the door sills enhancement was just my way of trying to sweeten my deal. The sills are an additional $160 msrp or about $130 cost. I'm all for dealerships making there money, I just don't want them to get rich off of me, LOL.
Just remember, someone will always get a better deal but it's nice to see the different deals everyone gets.
After driving my wife's new car, I told her that I might have to get one myself. This time, we'll be trading in our 2002 Camry SE v4, man is my 14 year going to be mad at me since we said it would be hers in a couple of years. Just kidding but it's a very nice car.
I'm hoping the transmission has been resolved, Toyota has ad enough time to resolve the issue. If anyone has an 2009 model, let us know how things are going especially regarding the transmission issue.

Do you read the threads???
Technically the TCH doesn't have a traditional transmission and there are no problems with the PSD that I have heard of. However when the new body style came out in 07 there were several problems, mostly with the V6 models I believe.
Found it!!!

This dealership has sold other camry's at below invoice prices:
260223575870
260226323230
I have now used this pricing for comparison on the internet quotes I am getting here in the DFW area. I contacted the dealership that posted this sale and they informed me that shipping to my area will be around $600. We already have a 2008 LTD HL and would like to replace our 1993 camry. Any thoughts on the practicality of buying from out of state and having it shipped for an additional $600 with the total cost still coming out lower than local dealerships?
PS - Some part of listing shows it as used, but I have verified with dealer that this is "BRAND NEW AND NEVER TITLED" as shown in another part of description.
LOL, they should be talking to the people that bought Hyundai and regret it. Those that didn't buy the Hyundai and got something else really don't know what they avoided. (Sorry all you Hyundai owners, don't bash me, just go to your own blog and bragg if you want)
why don't their posts get moved

Sticker with Freight = $27,359
Concord Toyota / Concord CA had an ALL in stock sale 4/26/08 - $23,995.
Had zero hassle. They said better pick the color and test drive quickly as they were moving them. Picked a Black / Beige unit.
Agreed to make the purchase and they stood by the newspaper pricing. I think this was about $1000 below invoice.
My guess, they were moving them to build up the allocation for summer when the gas hits 4.50 + in the San Francisco area.
Had friends go the following weekend and they were told that was a one time deal on the Hybrids.
FYI, I went to Walnut Creek Customs on North Main and ordered the Sirius Satellite. They do cars for the Toyota dealer around the block. The price was 1/2 of the price the dealer wanted, installed. had the windows tinted and a clear bra installed. Satellite radio sounds great with the JBL 440 system.
The first tank avg was 40.3 MPG. This may be the perfect car for today's gas prices.
I'm not familiar with the Veracruz. However two of my friends have Sonota's. It is a nice car but gets no where near the FE they expected. Additionally, you mention you don't regret "having it" and I believe my main gripe with Hyundai would be when I want to get rid of it. If you get the same resale % as you do with your TCH I'll be surprised.
You'll also find on this board we love to bash what we don't know :P
I don't plan to ever get personal knowledge about a Hyundai so I guess the articles I read and my friends comments won't allow me to form an opinion, so'll I'll now shut up and we can get back to Camry prices
Purchased:
White / Gray
All options (nav, carpets, etc.)
MSRP $31,269
Invoice $28,256
Paid $700 over invoice
Paid $200 to get color/leather combo traded from a dealer 3 states away
Total with all taxes/fees: $30,488
I was very happy with the deal. No haggling/negotiating. I deal with Wendell and would definitely recommend him.
how many V6s do they have on the lot like this--
look at the registration tag on the front windshied--at least in TX that is where it is--a car that has been on the lot more than a month should be moved--they have lost the hold back on it....
Anyone know if Toyota will sweeten the pot on 2008 or 2009 Camry's this Memorial Day weekend?
Thanks!
