#12 of 2208 official Invoice on Corolla 03 by brs12 Mar 15, 2002 (9:49 pm)
I wanted to know when will be the Invoice for 2003 corolla be available. I recently checked out the invoice for corolla S 2003 with the options I want at www.kbb.com and they said a price of abt $15200 including the destination charge, but the dealer says an invoice of about $15700 for the same car with the same options.   Also the dealers are not ready to negotiate much since it is a new car. When would the price for this car go down .... I dont think I would like to pay so much for a Corolla.   Thanks in advance for any insight ....
#13 of 2208 Tire size on Matrix by sar4 Mar 16, 2002 (5:58 am)
For XR_Matrix: Good idea to get 15" steel rims for winter (especially in salty N.S.). What size of tire are you going to put on them?
#14 of 2208 New Corolla LE purchased today by nvcolor Mar 16, 2002 (4:31 pm)
Paid $15,608 today for LE Auto with following options: Guard Pkg (CK), Cruise (CL), Radio Upgrade (EJ), Mats (CF). Dealer advertised invoice + $300 in today's newspaper. They told me they had 6 in stock and expected all to sell today. I also paid a $249 advertising charge as well as $180 document processing fee, which are included in the $15,608. Sticker for mine (not including advertising or processing) was $16,557. I am in the Kansas City area. Pretty painless process - I am happy with the deal I got. I do a lot of long distance freeway driving - 35M miles per year - and feel this car will serve me well. I had tested Focus, Sentra, Protege, and Civic. Thought about Lancer, but have seen mixed reviews. Jetta I liked, but I wasn't sold on long term durability, not to mention much higher sticker. I liked the Focus, lots of features for the money, but unsure about durability and quality. All others felt cramped compared to Corolla. I felt the Corolla offered the best value. Another selling point was that it has a timing chain rather than a timing belt. FWIW, I purchased a 2002 Camry LE 4C Auto for my wife yesterday, ABS, keyless, power seats, floor mats for $19,300, just about Edmunds invoice. While Edmunds doesn't have the info yet, Kelley Blue Book does have invoice prices for the Corolla at their site. I am hoping these cars will last us for 6-8 years.

#15 of 2208 Southeast region by friendly_jacek Mar 16, 2002 (5:22 pm)
I wonder if anyone has any advice on "dealing" with dealers in Southeast region. I have heard that there is something peculiar about this geographic region. I did my research and decided that 2003 corolla CE is a good replacement for my old Mazda protégé. I printed a decent offer from carsdirect.com (250$ below MSRP) and I am planning to ask the dealer to at least match it. Unfortunately, all cars on the lot have worthless options (including $610 Toyo Guard). I guess I will have to ask for factory order or similar to get my options. It sounds like some dealers request a deposit for such an order. Is it reasonable to object to this deposit? Also, how long it takes to get delivery. Thanks, Jacek
#16 of 2208 carsdirect.com by friendly_jacek Mar 16, 2002 (5:26 pm)
BTW, does anyone have any experience with ordering through carsdirect.com? I used once carorder.com and was moderately pleased but it does not exist anymore (I think). Thanks
#17 of 2208 Friendly, about Southeast by just_some_guy Mar 16, 2002 (6:41 pm)
I'll probably get flamed by Scott (Southeast salesguy) but my advice is go somewhere else if you can. Alot of that added stuff the dealers don't have any choice about, it's added at the port. And I think some of the additions are done rather unethically. For instance on the Matrix XRS, Toyota has a 17" wheel option for $150 MSRP. But if you buy from Southeast they don't put the Toyota 17s they put another brand, for $1199. They also put on a different rear bumper protector that they are charging MORE for.
