I thought I'd update you all again. Buying a Camry is now history. We won't be buying one anywhere in the near future. I ended up finding a really nice '05 Honda Civic sedan on Craigslist a few weeks ago. It only had 8500 miles on it and it was nearly perfect. The owner was moving across the country and couldn't drive two cars so he had to sell this one. I got for less than wholesale. It's a blast to drive and in my opininion a better car overall than a Corolla (sorry guys). I did look at Corollas but they didn't have enough legroom for me. The Civic has just a bit more legroom to be OK for a long trip, but afterall I did buy it mainly for my wife.
All hope is not lost for a Toyota. We're still looking to replace our Tahoe so we're looking at a 4-runner.

Got my check today and have already deposited it. Now we're back to square one looking for a new car again. I know for sure it won't be an 07 Camry though.

When I talked to the finance manager, he said that they'd cut me a check on Monday.
I'll keep everyone updated.
I'm still hoping to become a Toyota owner somehow.

I just checked my bank statement this morning and found the @#$! dealer cashed my check.
This is not over yet.

The dealer never mentioned this nor even gave us any form to sign in the beginning. I simply called the Toyota corp office and found out who the contact was at the dealer. I called her and told her about the problem. Intially they wanted to inspect the car but I said I simply wanted to return the car and they said OK and I returned it and signed the rescinding form.

Apparently it is applicable to vehicle purchases in WA. The dealer actually had a simple form to fill out. It appeared to be a very easy process in my situation.

I rescinded the contract yesterday. I did it before even knowing about the WA law that Cactus mentioned. Thanks anyway Cactus.
Now I'm waiting for them to return my check. Sadly it appears that there are no more '06 Camrys in our area the way we would want one. The one the way we wanted it had to come from 6 hours away. The only thing special about it was that it had a V6 and side curtain airbags. I'd hate to have to settle for an Accord now but what else is there? I'd never have a Maxima.

Actually I should have have named this thread, "My first bad experience with a Toyota dealer."
There was nothing really wrong with the car itself. It was a fantastic car, drove silky smooth and was nearly dead quiet at the light. I sure wish I could have got to know the car better.

The first thing I noticed about the car when I looked at it was that the finish on the door and fender had specks in it. The sales manager snapped back by saying Toyota had the best finishes. It wasn't until I got it home that I noticed the taping and overspray.
I'm going to make give me my money back. My attorney suggested at the moment that I not not mention that I plan to seek legal action. He suggested that I contact the zone manager and to see if I can work it out that way.
