05 Camry SE side airbags?

[s_ajanthan]

This is to all Gen 5.5 owners. I'm in the market for an 05 or 06 Camry. (I don't like the interior look on the Gen6)

I've come across a nice 05 SE which is a bit pricier than I budgetted for. I must admit the SE is a pretty slick yet practical car yet it comes at a price premium.

With the economy as it is, I need to justify to my family the extra $2000 price premium of buying an SE. I've read reviews from CanadianDriver and it says the 05 SE comes standard with Side airbags unlike the LE. When I went to a dealership (not Toyota) the salesperson said that only the XLE comes with side airbags.

My decision to buy the SE over the LE hinges on the SE coming standard equipped with these side airbags. If the SE doesn't, then IMHO its just a fancy LE.

Can anyone with an Gen5 SE confirm the SE has side airbags and possibly send me a picture of where they are in the car.

Thanks
