Replying to: irismg (Oct 05, 2007 8:58 am) Is the place in Kenosha a Carmax? if so, that would explain the LARGE PRICE DIFFERENCE. Carmax means "you paid too much".

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Oct 06, 2007 9:20 am) But in comparison to MY region, Carmax is a deal, especially for a new car! I'd be willing to bet that a good part of their clientele comes largely from other parts of the country, while the dealerships handle the locals. One man's ripoff is another man's bargain, depending on their point of view, eh? Just my view.

Replying to: jlawrence01 (Oct 03, 2007 7:19 am) Although I tend to agree with you on your assessment on the Elantra, as a previous Elantra and Corolla owner, our family's experience was a bit of a contradiction. Determining long-term reliability based upon rental experience is not necessarily valid, as rental cars are notorious for being abused by some renters and with questionable maintenance by the agency. Our family's previous generation Elantra went over 180K miles without any corrective maintenance, just routine oil changes and timing belt changes. It was no more, or less, costly to maintain than our Corolla. The primary difference between the two was gas mileage - the Corolla was always better in that regard. Both were automatics, and the Elantra's best highway mileage was 34MPG, short of the Corolla's. |

Replying to: joblessguy (Sep 21, 2007 9:58 pm) I got a quote in Dallas Tx for 2008 Corolla LE,4Dr, Auto. the options include anti-lock brakes, Side Airbags, windo tint, cruise contro, mudguards, keyless entry with security system and alloy wheels. The offer price was $16,310.00 plus inventory fee ($38.00) and documentation fee ($50.00) plus Ttl and tax. Anybody can comment about this deal. Thanks KR |

Replying to: etschreiber (Oct 01, 2007 9:00 pm) I'm in Southern California and am very interested in that same car. Would you mind telling me where you got that quote? Dealers have told me it's almost impossible to find a Corolla with ABS in this area because the climate doesn't warrant it.  Thanks, Anlina |

Replying to: dridmang (Jul 07, 2007 11:54 pm) Would you mind telling me where you bought it? And why did they give you the discount -- or why would you have gotten 3K off the MSRP? Thanks so much! Anlina |

I just got back from southern California where I bought a Corolla S in impulse red. I drove the car back to Las Vegas where we have registered it. The cars in the Los Angeles area are much cheaper than in las vegas and they have much lower dealer fees. The car I purchased had an MSRP of $19,500. Pretty loaded with moonroof, side airbags, option package #1 and 6 disk changer. The price after rebate was $15,582. Then added T,T,&L at the actual state regulated amounts and off I went with the new car with 36 miles on the clock. Paid registration in Nevada and NOT California. Paid sales tax in California and NOT Nevada. First tank of gas across the desert and our MPG was 37.5. Now with 400 miles on the car we love it! It does not handle anything like a Civic and for some drivers it is exctly what they need.

Replying to: nyguy1 (Oct 11, 2007 6:18 am) Would you mind telling me where you got the car from? I'm looking for that model in Southern CA too! Also, I'm curious in what way the Corolla handles differently from a Civic. Thanks so much, Anlina |
