07 Camry from Japan ?

Does Toyota eat the sea freight of cars shipped over from Japan or is it
added to the truck transportation?

The shipping cost listed on the sticker is for land transportation.

So if one were to see two identical cars, one from Japan and the other USA,
would the base prices be the same?

If it is the same model and number and phase, then the answer is yes.

The sticker prices are the same, but Toyota uses regional distributors (some
of which are not owned by Toyota) to sell the cars to the dealers, and there
could be slight differences in the price for distributor or dealer added
charges, like advertising, etc.

When I got my 05 last year the Houston distributor added so much crap at
such high prices I walked away and they came way down. The Houston
distributor adds border on statutory rape.

Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. has 12 regions in the continental U.S. Gulf
States Toyota and Southeast Toyota are independent distributors, all the
rest are wholly owned subsidiaries of TMS.

Hawaii and U.S. territories are all handled through independent
distributors.

The destination freight charges are equalized throughout the continental
U.S. (I'm not sure is the independents use the same DFC but I think so.

Toyota Dealer Advertising Association charges vary by market due to
differences in marketing expenses.

MSRP for the vehicle and factory installed options do not vary but dealer
invoice prices may vary with the independents.

Let me know if you find an '07 Camry from Japan.

Also, look at the "Origin" sticker and notice where the parts come from (if
you do find one, that is!)
