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

Toyota LE
 
MSRP $17,904
OTD price: $17000 OTD ($15538.74 before tax, license etc)
w/ carpet, key less entry, all weather pkg
 
hope this is a good price , esp with no current rebate in california. However, the 0% APR is pretty good...!

there's actually a base model that's below the LE and Champion Toyota had a few of those on the lot. These may not have power locks or windows.

low APR finance on corolla by dr94087

Hi,
 Today I called couple of dealers in Bay Area for Corolla enquiry, and they told me that the 0% APR financing is discontinued in July month.
 I checked the Toyota.com site and it dont show the low APR finance.
 
 Is this true?
 
 Thanks,
 DR
