PSA if you are in need of a new vehicle

My in laws lost everything in the flood (like so many others) including both vehicles. They are old and don't want to deal with any of this, so I call around to dealerships trying to get them info so they can make an informed decision. They like the Camry so I focus mainly on Toyota dealerships. The best deal to be had by far was in Brookhaven Ms. Local dealers from BR to Slidell couldn't touch their deal. The best part is the dealership delivered the car to my house (where my Inlaws are staying). They are VERY happy with their new purchase all around.
TLDR; if you need a new vehicle call Toyota dealership in Brookhaven Ms. Best price was found there.

So they bought a car without even driving it?

Happens much more often than you think

They had already driven the car. They knew what they wanted. Tried to make a deal elsewhere. Salesperson basically told them take it or leave it at Price LeBlanc. Another salesperson told me over the phone that they wouldn't sell the car for the price they quoted me. But they did and delivered it to boot.
Btw the Price LeBlanc price was $1k more for the same vehicle.

Price Leblanc is proud of their vehicles, one call to Houston and beat price LEBLANC'S "best deal" by $4K

Which dealer in Houston? I'm looking for a Tacoma.

PL was pretty much in line with everyone else.....mostly. This was a base Camry. Barely had $4k of fat to work with. But maybe you are right about Houston. I wonder if they deliver.

West side Lexus, but call around they will make it worth your drive

Try Fred Haas on I-45 North. They have an online sales dept.

I know right. Some camry's have square steering wheels and others are shaped like a triangle.

I committed to a car over the phone. Did all my negotiations over email and one phone call. Got a new $56k Durango Citadel, fully loaded, down to $39k. This was at Love Field Jeep/Dodge in Dallas. There are probably a dozen Jeep/Dodge dealers in the DFW area, so you can really negotiate if you know how to work it.

1 of the last 5 cars I've bought I've driven before buying. It's not that big of a deal.

We are looking in the Houston and Dallas area. Plenty of selections and good deals.

No way in hell do I ever make a purchase like without at least driving the model I want to buy. Doesn't have to be THE car, but at least one of the same model.

Had to replace my truck that was flooded...
Local inventory has been lacking since the insurance checks have started rolling in and the local dealers are not budging off MSRP and only offering factory rebates.
I drove to Alabama this morning for a 2016 Silverado that I negotiated the price of over the phone- the dealership there was offering the same $7500 factory rebate, but also came down off MSRP nearly $5k... Well worth the drive and they had more inventory to choose from.
Also was considering flying up to St. Louis to buy from Laura Buick GMC- no one around could touch their prices. May be worth a look if you're looking for a new BUick or GMC.
The chevy dealer I purchased from was Terry Thompson in Daphne- very nice people to work with.

Does Price Leblanc still throw in the country sausage? That's worth something.

Its like here in Mobile... these GM vehicles here are so overpriced yet you go up to Bay Minette, the same cars and trucks are $2,000 to as much as $5,500 cheaper... for only driving 20 miles north!

Sent my girlfriend to Houston to get her SUV. She saved about 3K off New Orleans area prices.

I looked hard at Laura GMC, but went Ford instead. Tarver Ford in Sulfur treated me right. Hollingsworth in BR can eat a bag of dicks.
