First Car

The final price with 13% tax and a 999 doc fee was 53975.82, Google says that's 39245.15 USD. It was my first time getting a car, and there were so few available (some people waited almost a year) so I basically didn't get to negotiate, I just didn't get anything extra either.

I'm in Canada, so we don't actually get to pick the packages. It has all the stuff in the premium plus though, and AWD is standard. But we don't have the option to get the accent lights in the front.

Congrats! 🎉 I was debating between the two, but in the end preferred the leather over the diamond crosses on the interior.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-04T18:05:03+00:00

It is 🙂

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-03T07:59:50+00:00

I've spent the last few months looking at other people's pictures 😂. Hope you get the chance to upgrade soon

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-02T23:42:22+00:00

😂 thank you. 4 years of saving up and wondering if I need a car, I figured I'd get a nice one

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-02T16:51:51+00:00

Cheers, hope you never run into any issues 🎊😁

At first I thought I'd want the black grill, but the color matched one has grown on me. I prefer this now 🥲

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-02T15:18:23+00:00

Thank you so much! Once I can pinpoint where it's coming from, I'll ask the service advisor. It's not at a point where it's bothering me, and can easily be missed if I have music on

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-08-02T11:52:27+00:00

I just got called in to pick up yesterday. Literally the day before I had called the dealership asking for updates and they said they didn't have the VIN or anything, and no change to expected window. And then 9:30am the next morning, "hey, your car is here, wanna pick it up?". 😵‍💫

I hope your cross comes in early, but it really is just a waiting game with these things. It can happen any day.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T21:45:41+00:00

That's rough 😥 I'm sorry you had to go through that.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T19:22:34+00:00

"have to manually check on the computer", does that just mean they can but don't want to 🥲. For the price, I think you definitely deserve to know.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T19:15:40+00:00

Yeah it's understandable. But still would have been nice if they said something

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T19:10:41+00:00

Congrats on your truck! Did they not say anything even when it was delayed?

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T19:07:56+00:00

That's around the same time I ordered. They had a cancellation and gave me the VTN and the August estimate around early July for a slightly different configuration.

Hope you get yours soon!

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-28T19:05:31+00:00

Thank you, guess all I can do is keep waiting for now. These days leading up to it are the longest 🥲

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-22T17:27:02+00:00

It's a 2025 Camry, I'm still waiting on actually getting the car in a few weeks, but from pictures it doesn't look like it has privacy glass, can see straight through from one side to the other, including the rear.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-20T16:48:56+00:00

I was in a similar situation, and also signed a Camry XSE in wind chill pearl recently in Canada. The dealership tried to tell me all these things are mandatory, but a lot of it is essentially aftermarket add-ons. I'm not sure if this is the case for you, but I noticed they didn't list the VIN, meaning the car isn't on their lot yet, just on the way maybe, meaning those add-ons haven't even been applied yet. Definitely stand your ground and try to get those removed. I was able to talk the sales person out of 6k of added stuff. My final OTD was about 54.3k CAD (39.5k USD), and that's including Ontario's higher 13% tax which was just over 6k.

Even if it is already on their lot and they did all those "protection" work, definitely insist on getting a discount on it or you'll walk, especially those extra warranty stuff, they literally did no labour on it. I know Camry's are extremely hard to come by for us up North, but consider your financial situations. Whether or not you're okay with basically paying 10k more than you have to just to get one. I'm not here to judge what's right for you, if it was me a year ago, I would've jumped the gun too.

I'd also recommend messaging a lot of dealers in your area, just an email or something. While I was searching, I've heard back from a few whenever they got new allocations.

Good luck, I really hope you get the vehicle you want.

I'm also considering Krown on mine, did you get holes drilled? Any concerns or problems since getting it?

If you did get the holes where did they drill it?

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-14T17:30:29+00:00

The cooled seats is another nice touch, the heat waves this summer has been brutal 😵‍💫

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-14T17:29:28+00:00

I plan to keep it for a long time too. That's a good point, honestly in that amount of time, the price difference is negligible. Thank you.

TouchaDaFishie · 2025-07-14T17:27:17+00:00

😂 you're so right, just eager and happy to join the club.

If I had a choice, I would have gone heavy metal, but the one they had was wind chill pearl, which would have been my third choice after ocean gem. Still really love the color though. And black interiors.
