A few days ago, I posted about how I almost had my new Camry hybrid:

What happened today: The top manager at my dealership called me, and the upshot of the story is....

They can't/won't take off the 3K "premium" that they have added to the car's price...

Soooooo......I get my deposit back, in 10 business days or so!

Man oh man.....I have already spent it!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

1. Good for you

Glad you found a dealer that is not marking UP the price of the car!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear KitchenWitch!

Thanks, sweetie!

We're glad too.....

:loveya: :hug:

I'm assuming it's too late to call.....therefore, there will be a PM in a few.....

4. My dear SeattleGirl!

Thanks, sweetie! I am happy to get that money back.....

I can always use an extra $500!!

And my husband has ordered another hybrid Camry from a dealer where these premiums don't happen!

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

7. Hi Peggy.

I want a Camry hybrid, but my partner won't let me get one because they don't have four wheel drive.
:(

9. My dear 6000eliot......

It seems just a bit presumptuous of your partner to NOT LET you.......IMHO...

I mean....really! But anyway......I'm sorry! They are nice cars....

8. Coolio - but what inquiring minds REALLY want to know is....

what colour is it?????

:)

Edit: and does it match my shoes?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. What color is it? AND does it match YOUR shoes?

:rofl:

I don't know....the color is white.....Do you wear white shoes?

White helps keep the car much cooler.....

:woohoo:

11. Hee hee -

White shoes? Only between May and September, of course.

:rofl:

Congrats on the new car, btw!!

:woohoo:

12. My dear Jazz2006!

Well, I thank you!

I don't have it YET.....but I will!

You WILL hear and see when I do......:woohoo:
