Question From Chou: Which car should I buy?

2009 Camry LE
or
2009 Corolla S

Both of the cars are the same price.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Chou, Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you. What are the MSRP and the discount you got on both cars? Below you can compare the prices we got for the 2009 Toyota Corolla and Camry. In our opinion the Camry would be a better choice if you want a more comfortable car. If you are worried about gas prices the Corolla will save you some extra money at the end of the month.

How do you apply these prices?

Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Toyota dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in Florida should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

If you want to research more Toyota prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com. Keep us posted with how everything goes.

From Private Party
Camry is 4C and my zip code is 11204. Thanks!

Queen of the Road: Only 45,000 miles on 1999 Camry? Not too shabby.

For a 1999 Toyota Camry 4C LE with 45,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $6,100 (being in above average condition) to $5,300 (being in average condition) and $4,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

If you are buying from a dealer you should expect to pay +12%-14% more than wholesale. A dealership’s estimated retail prices could range from $5.1k to $7k. Good Luck with your negotiation and let us know how everything turns out.

Follow Up Comment: It’s a 1999 Camry LE 4CYL with LoJack, passive alarm, keyless entry, powered windows, power driver seat, powered sunroof, CD w/ 6 speaker sound system and rear end spoiler. It’s being sold by a close friend and he doesn’t drive the car very often, mainly during the weekends. That’s the reason for the low mileage.

Question From Laura: What’s the best deal you can get on a 2008 or 2009 Toyota Camry Solara? It’s for a recent college graduate so it’ll need a good audio system, but no moonroofs or navigation system. Thanks. Love your blog!

Queen of the Road: Hello Laura. Welcome to our blog and thank you for your kind words. We can for sure find you a good deal. Congrats on the graduation. He/she is very lucky to receive a car as a grad gift. Is the grad aware of the big gift?

What style would you like: SE, SLE, Sport? Coupe, convertible? 4 cyl or V6?

Question: Hi, what are the OTD prices for:

1) Honda Accord 2008
Brand new
LX trim 5Auto
Silver
zip 60614

2) Toyota Camry 2009
Brand new
LE trim 5Auto
Black
zip 60614

Thanks.
p/s: which one would you go for?

Queen of the Road:  Hi there! Unfortunately, I can’t determine what a good OTD price is because there are too many variables to consider. The best I can do is to help you find deals for each car.

I actually didn’t have much luck with the Honda Accords. None of the deals I found I wouldn’t consider worthy. The average cost was higher than the Camrys. Try back in another few days when our deals get refreshed.

A third Thumbs Up!

The Toyota Camry deals kick the Honda Accord deals booty! You’ve picked two of the best choices for cars. Between the two cars, I would choose the Toyota Camry because their deals are hot right now.  I also think the Camry shape is more appealing than the Accord. These are just my personal preferences. I’m sure we have different priorities when it comes to choosing a car, but over all, both cars are excellent choices and I assure you that you won’t be dissappointed with either one. I’m sure you’re wondering why I gave you links to dealership away from Illinois. I’ll explain below.

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.

If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.

If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.

If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.

The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.

So now what? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local Toyota dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.

If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up a Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Keep us posted with how everything goes.
