Why not get the base and get Type-S tails? You could also try to find a A-Spec and I think she would like that even more than the Type-S. Plus...it's cheaper!

I literally chose my mom's latest vehicle, a 2013 GS 350 F sport. She had no involvement until it came to the day at the dealer for delivery, none whatsoever. I went into this challenge knowing she had no interest in being involved until delivery day and had an idea of what she liked. I checked out all the luxury brands within her budget and ultimately decided she would like the GS 350. Turns out she liked the car more than I thought and that is has Lexus reliability behind it as well compared to a couple headaches brands we've had in the past.

Your mom is basically telling you which car she likes. You're about to get it under budget and have some leftover for maintenance or some tasteful mods (I'm sure mom would like window tint) as well as a good sunshade. If you know that's the car she likes, then by all means go for it, seems like a good deal.

^ That's exactly what I was thinking reading through this thread!

Can't wait to see what OP comes back with, yesterday was the last day of the month...

And that last day of the month business is spot on, I didn't ever work at a dealership myself, but my would-be brother in law from a long bygone relationship sold cars for a number of different dealerships, including Honda, and man the stories he'd come home with were awesome at times, but no doubt about it they would sometimes f'n GIVE cars away on the last day just to hit some incentive number or win an office pool etc etc

Rev, you're gonna be so mad. Yesterday was the 1st day of the following month.

LoL

Today is the 2nd.
I posted that yesterday, meaning the 1st, and I said "yesterday was the last day of the month" ergo 7/31, or the last day of the month!

So nothing to be mad about

For me, I would probably never purchase a Camry, at least for myself. But they are solid cars i do have to day.

LOL I pulled shit very similar to this once. I told him I was going to get a cashier's check and would be back in an hour. 3 hours later I didn't show up - so he calls all anxious. I said "Oh, I just stopped by X dealer and am looking at Y, so I'm a little undecided. . . . Is there any way you'd come down $1000?"
"Let me check with my manager" (doesn't check with anyone, only a 5 second pause) "Oh fuck yes we'll take 1000, if you'll come back here immediately... "
"Okay. Fair enough."

THIS definitely. My parents traded in my 08 accord coupe I4 and an 04 TL for a 2014 sonata FULLY LOADED. Luckily me and my pops working for Pepsi, we got the limited tech package pretty much for free. It really is a beauty and great value and the drive is AMAZING! Although I find the Optima to look a little more sporty, but to each their own on that. Good luck with buying your mom a car! Much respect man!

Interesting. I don't understand what working for Pepsi has anything to do with getting the limited tech package on the Sonata??

Have you ran against the turbo Sonata? Maybe with your dad driving it? I've always wondered how the Optima/Sonata turbo does against a stock base 3G auto.

LOL sorry i can see why this is weird, what i meant was the company offers a discount and it was worth the amount of the package.

and no unfortunately, i can't convince him to run it against my car but i can tell you that the car can pull... it should leave a very nice grin on anybody's face
