What is the difference between a 2009 camry LE and a 2011?
Also, what is the lowest price someone can purchase out the

Answer
Personally, I always read the manufacturers brochures to get accurate information and details on cars I'm interested in buying. These days it seams like dealers keep the brochures locked in a vault and steer buyers to the internet for this information. Two great internet resources are KBB.com and Edmunds.com Here you can find invoice and retail car prices. Dealers will sell cars at invoice and sometimes even below invoice after they give the buyer their factory advertising credit. The end of a month is the best time to make a deal as the dealer needs to meet monthly sales goals. I'm not aware of any Camry body style changes for 2011 but you can count on new electronics and features without paying big $.
