Hope that helps....
Until just a few days ago, I thought the LE was only available with A/T! It seems odd that the Corolla LE is A/T-only, but the Corolla Base & S models are offered with both a 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic??? Sidebar- Why did Toyota suddenly stop using the "CE" designation (which made sense) and now the base/standard models have no model designation at all- it's just Camry, Camry LE, Camry SE and Camry XLE now??? When I see Toyota Camry and no further model information, I don't know if it refers to the Base trim level OR the LE, SE or XLE and someone just forgot to include! Small peeve, but it's very annoying, IMO. :mad:
Regardless of what they call it, the "Base" trim level is a LOT of car for the money! The Camry Base (Manual) stickers for $1455 less than the Camry LE (Manual), starting at just $19,595.
The $1455 premium for the LE buys the following:
Power adjustable driver's seat with lumbar adjustment
Remote Keyless Entry
Metallic-style interior trim with chrome door handle accents
Power seat- unless someone else regularly drives your car and moves the seat around, a manual seat should be a non-issue if it's comfortable; with a manual height adjustment and tilt/telescope steering wheel, I've never missed a power seat
Keyless entry- this is the only feature that I'd have trouble living without; luckily there are plenty of aftermarket solutions to add keyless remote entry for as little as $200 (but doesn't include remote trunk release, I could deal with that).
Metallic-style interior tirm- If it's anything like the trim panels in the Corolla LE (which are also described as metallic-style), I'd prefer to skip them. They're just plastic with a silvery finish and they scratch very easily.
Just curious, what does the Base have for the center console trim (around shifter and up center control stack)?
Otherwise, the Base and LE are identical-looking. From the exterior, there is no difference in appearnce- same wheels, same trim and nothing cheap looking. The LE is available in four more colors than the Base- Magnetic Gray, Barcelona Red, Aloe Green and Spruce. But the Base still comes in Black, Super White, Classic Silver, Sandy Beach and Blue Ribbon. I'm surprised that Toyota has even offered the Spruce Mica for two years in a row....who'd want it? I've never seen one on the road or at a dealer, but the photo in the brochure is hideous enough....yuck!

Thanks so much
I'm trying to get delivery of Camry 2011 now, but within the paperwork from the financing guy there was a page that said Conditional Delivery? .. it states that delivery of the car is conditional for about 2 weeks pending credit approval.. Also, I chose the 0% financing offer.
Can anyone please tell me if this is standard from Toyota these days? I googled this and am getting afraid that this is a scam, apparently called "puppy-dogging" ?
They say that within the 2 weeks they'll call you back and say credit approval didn't fall through and that you have to put up more money or take on higher interest rates..
But at the same time, I was thinking how would Toyota dealerships do this at a time of recalls for them.. would they really risk that?
I'd really appreciate if anyone could please share their experience with this. Thank you so much!
Edit: This is happening on a Saturday.. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Thanks again.
There is another option that can happen if you don't qualify for the rates.. You can give the car back.. If you think you might not qualify, and you don't want to take the chance, just refuse delivery until you are approved.
It's called a spot delivery.. It isn't a scam...unless they lie to you about whether you are approved, or not... You should really know your credit score and if you are likely to be approved before taking any spot delivery.
The "puppy dog close" is usually referenced when they give you a car to take home on an overnight test drive... Like a puppy dog, once you take it home and show the wife and kids, it's hard not to keep it.. More of a sales technique than a scam..

If this is standard for dealerships, then I'm satisfied. I was worried whether I fell into a scam.
Thanks so much for confirming, kyfdx.
0% financing for 60 months.
From a dealer in Houston, TX. A good amount of haggling was involved.
That would be more useful information imo.
also, do you folks think that i could get a drive out price around $18.5K if i opt for cash instead of the 0%? i think dealers do get more cash incentive from toyota/distributor if customers choose cash rebate.
$5000 off on 2011 camry automatic or $7000 off plus 0% interest on 2010 le camry.
Careful with that hope factor, Ed17. The other posters are correct that conditional delivery isn't necessarily a set-up for a scam, but some of the downtown Houston (if that's where we're talking about) dealerships are known for rather aggressive business practices. Read the fine print on your paperwork. I'll give at least 4:1 odds that there is a clause in there that says something like "in the event the vehicle is returned to Dealer for any reason, Purchaser shall be liable to Dealer to any damage to the vehicle".
"Damage" doesn't have to mean only collision damage, unless you've gotten that spelled out. More likely than not, they will try to charge you for some type of mileage related wear-and-tear. You can try to fight it, but you may not get much backing. It's still a new vehicle if it hasn't been titled, but it might be viewed as a fair argument that the value has been diminished if you have put several hundred miles on it.
If you have other transportation available, it's always financially safer to let the new vehicle sit at the dealership until the financing is approved. If your only old vehicle has died and is beyond fixable, or you're otherwise up against taking conditional delivery of the new vehicle or paying for a rental, then conditional delivery might be worth the gamble. Even then, I would explore whether I was eligible for other financing that can be approved faster. Unless it's a rather iffy financial picture, two weeks is a long time to have to wait for a final answer on the financing.
also, do any of you know where or what free web site i can find the hidden factory to dealer cash incentive? if had that additional info., it would be better for consumers/buyers. i guess car sales folks who happen to read this likely won't reveal the info., lol
anyway, thanks in advance for anyone who has the info or don't mind to share
thanks.
Thank you, superman12
purchased 2010 corolla Le for 13888 plus tax and tag
they are basically giving them away here in south Florida.
Maroone Toyota has bought up as many as they can to capture the market
2011 Camry LE 6AT
MSRP- 23,174
Sale Price- $17,775
Classic Silver w/ Ash Fabric
Magnetic Gray w/ Ash Fabric
*Just add sales tax & $21.00 title fee
They also have several 2010 Corolla LEs for $13,775, although I'm not much of a Corolla fan. I'd beg, steal or borrow the extra $4k to get the Camry LE instead. It's an amazing deal!
MSRP = 24185
Discount = $ 5585
Tax (7%) = 1445
Doc = $ 599
Title = $21
OTD price = $ 20500 with 0.9% APR for 60 months
I think this is a pretty good deal?
Is that a question, or a statement?
Is that the JBL stereo?
What area of the country/state are you in, for this I4 (no Toyota V4) purchase?
Thanks!!

No I dont think

Atlanta, GA
It's a little hard to build an apples to apples comparison (in trying to match a vehicle with the exact same features), but if you look at www.fitzmall you can find a 2011 LE, with an MSRP of 24,260 which you can pick up for 18,800 (no tax or tags).
Your vehicle is a little less than that in MSRP, but take their 18,800 add your tax and tags for your state mandated locale, and you'd be at about 20,250.
You paid 20,500, so pretty good deal in my book.
Enjoy your new ride!
