09 Corolla in Winter Park, FL by psciortino

We bought a 09 LE Corolla 6-23-08 from the Winter Park, FL Toyota dealer
Internet Sales team. They were quick on the floor but a bit slow on the internet. We were treated very respectfully. The numbers are as below:
Out the Door: $17050 for a LE with carpets and cruise control. No other options.
Price Quoted: $17,624--with a full tank of gas--got to be worth at least $50.
Dealer Documentation fee: $599.95
Discount: $1607.24
Rebate: $750.00
Net Cost: $15866.71 with a lifetime warranty of the powertrain (comes with all Courtesy Toyotas) Based on my repair experiences this is worth about $3-500)
 
Tire disposal and other misc. fees: $48.50
License Tag fees $110.00. May get some of this back.
Sales tax: $1024.79
Out the Door: $17050. with carpets, cruise control and NO TOYOGUARD, NO OTHER OPTIONS WHICH RAISE THE PRICE AND GIVE LITTLE VALUE SUCH AS RADIO UPGRADE, KEYLESS ETC. I WANTED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL BUT COULDN'T FIND A LE IN THE SOUTHEAST WITH VSC. THEY WERE UNWILLING TO TAKE BACK THE $245 CARPETS.

Hi, i am looking at my owner warranty info booklet, and it says the powertrain is only 60 months, or 60,000 miles.

This 6/60 is the Toyota normal powertrain warranty - lifetimes are purchased separate.

Hi:
Toyota Co. offers a "60,000 miles/60 months" power train warranty. Courtesy Toyota extends that warranty to "lifetime" for the original owner. If we keep the car beyond 60,000/60 months the warranty has value (for me). It does have a $100 deductable per event.

Stay away from Modesto Toyota!!! by mrcoolguy209

This is the first time I've experienced the BS that so many call the typical car buying experience.
 
An '09 Corolla LE, Auto was on ad for $14,999 (sticker of $18,003). I knew the ad was a loss leader and was ~ $1300 below invoice.
 
I called to confirm they had the car. Got to the dealership in 20 minutes. Somehow the car sold in that 20 minutes. Unbelievable that they could BS me to get me to come.
 
The kicker is that I told my dad and he called them 10 minutes after I left. They told him they still had the car and to come on down. Ridiculous sales tactics.
 
Does anyone know how I can register a complaint? I'll try contacting Toyota corporate offices but what else can I do?
 
Thanks.

I had the same thing happen on a LE for $15,999 but told my salesman ( good guy and had purchased a car from him before) i told him that that i would be down to look at it when I got there and someone was test driving it and bought it. I then turned to a differant one on the lot a model that had a few more options and said lets do this. My ad car had a MSRP of $18,154 and the LE with options was 18,659 so i split the differance $250.00 - $50.00 for a repeat buyer so my cost was $16,200 only $200.00 more but with more options. I would take the ad car price and shop it around a bit. There is no recourse for you that you can get anything but you could use it as a tool with a different dealer or see the manager of that dealer.
 
Good Luck

Which trim level are you looking for? North Park and Cavender seem to be the best in the San Antonio area.

I'm dealing with two dealers in Austin right now and have an offer at $100 over invoice.
The car I'm looking at has an msrp of $18059. The invoice is $16249 and they've offered me $16349 ($100 over invoice.)
Contact me if you want more info.

the trim level I'm looking for is probably pretty much base - guess that's now the LE - wouldn't mind keyless entry and cruise control if the car had that. but need a lot of bells and whistles
