    Well: OP AGAIN

    Thanks all for the input -- although I was surprised no one mentioned the specific Web sites that give MSRP/invoice and what people are paying regionally -- that's O.K., we found them

    Think he is going to wait 'til end of January, which is probably the 2nd best time to negotiate. Cash, 2026 Camry.

    If you know what you want and you don't want the icky dealership experience, just hire a broker. It'll cost a few hundred bucks, but they make it super easy.

    It really only works if you know what you want down to the model/trim/color.
