Camry question

Nov 25, 2005 1 Replies

I understand that Hayward Toyota in San Francisco is selling new automatic Camrys (2006 LE's) for $16,999. They say they have about 20 of them, but color selection is limited.



That price is only $900 more than the $16,100 I've negotiated for a Corolla LE at my local dealership in Missouri.



Should I fly out to San Francisco while the sale is going on, and buy a Camry?



Is Hayward a good dealership? Do you think I'll really get a brand new Camry that's in excellent condition for that price?



Would anyone know of other dealerships selling Camry's at similar prices?



It almost seems to good to be true.



Thanks.


I was negotiating the local dealer when I bought my new 2001 Tundra. I had to take delivery before the end of the month, appx 1 or 1-1/2 weeks away, to get a $1000 discount. I did one of the internet car quotes and got a bid from a dealer in an adjoining state, appx 2 hours away, for quite a bit less than the local dealer. When I told the local, they said the remote dealer was "low-balling" me and I would lose my discount if I waited too long. They offered to call remote dealer to prove it, I declined and called myself. When I talked to salesman at the remote dealer he verbally confirmed the quote I had been given. I told him I was recording our conversation and if he was low-balling me I would sue them for any losses. He put me on hold so he could "check on something". He came back and told me he was sorry but they had sold the last Tundra they had available at that price. I doubt I could have benefitted financially if they had screwed me around due to different state, distance and admissability of a recorded telephone conversation but the threat did make them get honest. You might want to try this with Hayward. You could also call the BBB or Chamber of Commerce in their city to check on them. Or someone may respond here with info. HTH, davidj92
