07' Toyota HyCamry

Well I went to a dealership and test drove the Hycam, man what a car!

We went in and crunched numbers, The dealer offered $14k for my 04 Prius as a trade-in.
They then said they would drop the price of the camry from $27,813 to $25,200. If I would put $5k down and that would drop my payment to $595 a month. Since I had a credit score of 7.90....

I told them I needed to stay between $440-$550 a month as a payment. The salesman went back to the finance person, and returned to ask if I planned on putting any money down? I told him NOPE.. He left and returned again with the finance man and said they could get me a payment of $490 if I put $1k down to pay for the tax tag & title?. I told him they could tansfer the new tag I had on the Prius... He said they couldnt do that... :mellow:

I told him I didn't have $1k, and it would be $0 down.. The payment offer then jumped back to $550 w/ $3k down again.. I thanked him for his time, explained that it just wasn't the right time or place to make the purchase. The salesman asked if I would concider a non-hybrid camry instead?

:blink: Duh, I had to ask, why would I want to get rid of a hybrid for a non-hybrid?(Here's Your Sign) He did say, I could get into another Prius with no problem. But again, I was looking at the roomyness factor. I was glad I didn't need a new car because the one I have runs/drives just fine.. the HyCam was just alot roomyer, I then got up and walked out & got into my prius and left.. ( there are other dealerships in the area ). B)

I thought it was funny they where going to get me the $490 a month if I gave them $1k. But in the begining they wanted $3k down, and the payment would have been $550 a month..... :huh: ... :angry:

PS this is the same dealer that rooked me into a 60k service on my 04 prius for $550... <_<

Any ideas? why / how they could jump the numbers like that???

I had asked what the CASH buy-out was for the HyCam, they told me $31,500.00

Anyone else have a similar exprience? (dealership woes)?

width room is better on the HyCam.

It was explained that for every $1k you put down on a car, drops your payment $20.00
