#69 of 109 Why won't Toyota build my Corolla Sport? by frankjrf Apr 19, 2004 (9:42 pm)
I ordered a Corolla Sport 2/15/04 which was supposed to be built at the Fremont, CA factory 90 miles away. I specified side airbags, anti lock brakes, moonroof, cruise and a manual 5 speed transmission. The dealer tells me that the factory keeps declining to build my car each month and just leaves the order waiting for some unknown build date. My order was passed over in March and maybe February and it looks like it is being passed over in April 2004, too.   Can anyone tell me why the factory is ignoring my order? The dealer doesn't seem to know or won't tell me. I am pretty firm about what I want on the car but am worried that 2005 models may be here and I still won't have my car.   Does anyone have any suggestions for me on getting this car built, other that dropping all the features that I really want?

Replying to: frankjrf (Apr 19, 2004 9:42 pm) frankjrf, i've had the same issue. My wife and I attempted to order the same car you've describe. After 3 rejections from Toyota we've given up waiting. It should never be that hard to order a Corolla with those options. I've been told by my Toyota rep that Toyota wanted to only build certain builds due to limited parts being available (side air, ABS, etc.) I think I have found the reason why they won't build that car....2005 Corolla XRS! Yup they were saving those parts in order to make more money off the XRS. Now, obviously, I cannot prove this but that's my theory! They just received an XRS Corolla at a Denver dealer and I'm going to drive it soon! Really sharp looking car AND with more POWER! U may have to take dealer stock and/or pay for the XRS!

Hello, I just bought used 2000 corolla 116km. It came of 4yr lease. Phoned toyota canada with a V.I.N., and they told me from which dealer the car was purchased, Phone the service dept. at the dealer, and was able to get the service history of the car. The car is great and at very good price of $7000+tax.
#72 of 109 2005 Corolla CE with LoJack by lcheng Nov 10, 2004 (5:46 pm)
Hi, everyone!   I just purchased a 2005 Corolla CE last month and I couldn't say that I am entirely happy with the car nor the dealer. It was an O.K. deal and has gone bad with this "LoJack" tracing system. I am still waiting for my dealer to respond but it doesn't look very good at this point. I'll post a complete story when it ends.   For those of you wanted to buy a car, make sure you know what kind of system and service they offered. The problem with LoJack is that IT CAN NOT BE REMOVED once its installed. Another word, if it has a problem, you are doomed with it. That doesn't happen a lot, but it seems that I had the worse luck with any security systems. So, good luck to you all!

#74 of 109 NEW 2005 S by modestmouse Feb 24, 2005 (11:45 am)
I just purchased my 2005 corolla S this last December. I can't say I'm completely satisfied w/ the car, though my quibbles are just minor things such as the lack of a cargo pocket/net on the backs of the seats, where am I supposed to store anything? at 17,500 total you'd think a 1ft square piece of cloth would come w/ the deal.   Otherwise the car is great. I love the manual transmission and the HWY gas miliage is phenomonal. 40+mpg pure HWY driving (I know cause I went on a road trip a month after I got er, talk a about a break in).   Some of the pannels on the dash have slightly warped too, I went to the dealer to get it fixed and they saidd they had to "order" them, but that was 2wks ago. Time to email them.   Great car so far, dealer was really nice too. I'm a college student so he had to work pretty hard to get Toyota Financial to Finance me, I even got 60 months aat 3.9 fixed. Can't say I feel ripped, but I thought the car was a little pricey, but it was the lowest in my area.   OK END, MM Replies to this message: lunasol (Mar 24, 2005 9:32 am)

Replying to: modestmouse (Feb 24, 2005 11:45 am) In November I purchased my corolla ce. I too have noticed a slight warp in the dashboard. (right about the cd player.) I haven't gone to the dealer about that though. Curious if anyone else is having the problem with the ignition though. When I drive for a 40 min period or so, turn off the car and try to start it back up in 20 to 30 min, the car will just crank and not start up until I turn the key to off position and try again. I took it to the dealer yesterday and he said that the computer runs a quick check of the system and if it sees even the most minut thing it won't allow you to start your car. He sent me on my way and said it's fine. Should a new car do this? I love the car though. Fun to drive. I've always owned toyotas and as long as they remain reliable I will always own only toyota! (seats could be made a little more confy though) My dad drove my car and it doesn't quite fit bigger people. Kind of a chick or small guy car!

#78 of 109 Hi, new here...Need some info on a 96 Corolla...mk? by wrenchdog1 May 17, 2005 (2:20 pm)
I just bought a 96 Corolla with 49,000 miles. Hardly used and with absolutely no options.... I have a Sunetun mini tach out of my old Toyota pickup and was wondering where the coil is in this car.... I suspect it's part of the distributor? Theres a group of wires that plugs into the dist., does anyone know if thats where I should be looking? Any help would be, well, helpful. Thanks Chris....
