Toyota sold 34,781 Camry’s last month for a 4.9 percent increase over same month last year. With only one month left of 2015, Toyota has sold 361,111 Camry’s year-to-date (YTD).

Competition Between Dealers Always Gets You the Best Price
When negotiating a new car’s price, it’s important to know the dealer invoice price and what other people are paying for the same vehicle in your local area. Otherwise, you won’t know what’s a good price to pay for the vehicle. I highly recommend using an online referral service such as Ryde Shopper or Motor Trend, their quotes will automatically include any discounts or cash-back incentives currently available in the marketplace.
