Replying to: luvhh (Nov 12, 2007 7:44 am) 2008 Corolla LE, Model #1822, MSRP: $17,395, Auto, PDL, PW, $14,188 after $1,000 rebate, 5 at this price. For Southern California, I think all the other stuff add up to abut $1,500 so it would be about $15,700 out of the door. The CE's are now $12,388 so the prices are coming down.

I have TWO separate questions: 1) TWO local dealers tell me that toyota itself has stated that the basic corolla front disk and rear drum brakes are so good that going to the 4 wheel antilock brakes is a waste of $$ and gains nothing in safety. Thoughts? 2) ONE local dealer says Antilock brakes best and offers the following: 2008 Corolla LE in indigo blue C T Carpet Floor Mats/Cargo A B anti-Lock Brakes B E Side & Curtain Airbags C K All Weather Guard V V Audio Value Package MSRP $18,471, dealer's Invoice $16,930 Will sell to me for $16,185 plus $200 document fee plus tax, title and tags which includes the current $600 back from toyota. is this close to a good deal, assuming that ABS are what is recommended? thanks. |

Replying to: haocorolla (Nov 12, 2007 9:19 pm) there is no waiting time, the car (whichever I decide) is in stock.so, assuming that abs is the way to go 2008 Corolla LE in indigo blue; C T Carpet Floor Mats/Cargo; A B anti-Lock Brakes; B E Side & Curtain Airbags; C K All Weather Guard; V V Audio Value Package MSRP $18,471, dealer's Invoice $16,930, cost to me $16,185 plus $200 document fee plus tax, title and tags which includes the current $600 back from Toyota. I don't really WANT the floor mats or or audio value package but it sounds as if that is the 'way they all come' if you want the ABS. Look for lower price? or seal the deal? thanks skiguy

Replying to: skiguy02920 (Nov 13, 2007 4:34 am) I am in a similar situation to buy a 2008 Corolla LE with ABS, Side airbags, etc. I got a quote (after coming back and forth several times) not it sits at OTD $17232. Based on the quote, it is the SAME car like yours, has a MSRP of $18,390, dealer's invoice $16,949. And cost to me would be $16000 + tax in Michigan + $260 doc fee +... sum to $17,232. I think it is an OK price, can't beat the Fitzmall.com price, but not too far. If you can't wait, go for it. You won't regret it. For me, I send the quote back to ask a OTD price of $17000, we'll see what will happen. |
