2007 Toyota Camry — rebuilt-title price looks tempting

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. In Los Angeles, insurance quotes flipped a 2007 Toyota Camry comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.

Insurance and tax belong in the comparison, not as a surprise. A written buyer’s order on the 2007 Toyota Camry is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. On “rebuilt-title price looks tempting,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Then the comparison gets honest. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
