Buying a used car (2004 Toyota Camry) in west Los Angeles area -- advice?

So my husband's car was stolen and we need a new car, but we're not desperate. We want to buy now; it's the end of the month and the end of the fiscal year. We went online, looked up edmunds.com, kbb.com and nada.com and got the book value so we knew where to start -- I know to deal up, not down. I've bought two cars before this one, from this same dealership, so I'm not a newbie.



Then we figured in tax/title/license, LoJack, plus dealer commission. The 2004 Toyota Camry we want was priced at $12,995, and we asked $11,600+/-. This was the second time we went to the dealership and they wouldn't budge.



I took the median between clean trade in and retail for my starting point for a starting book price of around $9700, then added in TTL, LoJack, plus commission, so I gave a little bit. They said sorry to waste your time! We walked out again. My husband and I were appalled at our treatment.



For those who are curious, this was Marina Del Rey Toyota, where I bought two vehicles before. We want to pay cash and write them a check. We need a car; they have cars to sell. So what's the problem? I am as of this moment no longer a loyal customer to MDR Toyota in Marina Del Rey in greater Los Angeles.



Anything I'm doing wrong? Anything I'm overlooking? Any advice would be appreciated. ThanksBuying a used car (2004 Toyota Camry) in west Los Angeles area -- advice?
Check is there any recalls on the car on 2004 onwards on toyota problems.Buying a used car (2004 Toyota Camry) in west Los Angeles area -- advice?
They did you a favor. Why would you want to pay $11,600 for an 8 year old Camry when they go for $8000?????

But if you got $12k in cash, buy a new car. You can buy a Corolla or Civic for less than $14.
