Default 2007 Camry already selling near invoice

Fitzmall (www.fitzmall.com) is already selling fully loaded Camrys ($31,000) near invoice ($28,000).

Fitzmall is known for its no haggle approach and great pricing, but I'm surprised that they are discounting so much so soon seeing as how the car went on sale yesterday.

Good for consumers in this area I guess.

Look through the whole list and you'll find the "Internet Price" for 2007 Camrys.

hehe, to bring in internet customers from far away...

I dont think Camry will hold MSRP at dealer at all after only few months... They will have around 45k to sell each month, Toyota can not afford shortages of Camry. Its a bit different when you have small sellers hold their msrp better.

I said "near" invoice. Some models are a few hundred over invoice, which constitutes "near" invoice as far as I'm concerned.

It's one of the biggest Toyota dealers in the US, I think. They are very credible, and are famous for their no-nonsense, no-bull**** approach. Posters on Edmunds have only positive things to say about them.

why not get out of state/area shoppers? I like the idea, as long as Toyota likes it.

Here in Europe, we would get closed down and lose our contract for undercutting other Toyota stores...

You seem to think that those prices are there mainly for bringing out of state shoppers, but the vast majority of buyers at Fitzmall are still DC area shoppers. Sure, some people travel hundreds of miles for those prices, but there really aren't that many of them.

Fitzmall also owns a ton of other brands in that mall, and they use the same internet, no-haggle strategy. Just a different business model that relies a lot on volume and less on salesmen.

Wow. My wife is considering trading in her 01 Solara SLE V6 for a new Camry SE V6. Not at dealers yet, but they told me a base level SE V6 (w/cloth interior) would be around $27,000, which is about $3k over MSRP.

Well thats nice. I just drove by the Toyota dealership today and someone was testing out a Blue Camry LE. It actually a nice looking car in person. Still dont like the grill, but overall it looks so much better than the current model.

My Dad will be in line for one very shortly. He just loves the Camry. Can't get the guy to buy anything else.
