2025 Toyota Camry — advertised price jumps thousands at the desk — second opinion before I spend money

The advertised used-car price was competitive, but the worksheet includes protection packages, tracking equipment and other preinstalled items that were not obvious online. How do you compare the real OTD price across dealers?

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. Independent PPI on the 2025 Toyota Camry is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” I'd do that before spending real money. Do that first. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Title status is the whole conversation. If the 2025 Toyota Camry still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. I'd do that before spending real money. Do that first. I'd rather be boring and correct. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.

This is from a 2025 Toyota Camry in Atlanta. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.
