Negotiate A Selling Price

A 2018 Camry LE with few options has an MSRP of $25,119. Here in Southern California, the average selling price is approximately 8% off MSRP. For a Leasehackr worthy deal, we’d target a selling price of $22,230 (12% off MSRP) before incentives, which is aggressive but doable. Email the internet sales departments of several dealers for their best quotes; your mileage may vary.

Apply Incentives

Toyota incentives are regional. Here in Southern California, there’s $1,250 in lease cash on 2018 Camry, available to all, plus additional $750 grad bonus and $500 military bonus for those who qualify.
