Replying to: jharris981 (Jul 13, 2008 7:18 pm) >>, a couple of years ago you could get a new Corolla for $12,500 - $13,500. << A lot of the options on the 2007 models (side airbags, ABS) are now standard on the same models. Also, there is a whole lot more demand for a high efficiency vehicle that there was 18 months ago ... Thanks heavens my beater died when it did and didn't hang around for another year as I paid $13950 for my LE in March 2007.

Just negotiated a deal for an '09 Corolla LE for my cousin. He paid $15,999. The sticker on the car was $18,070.   The $15,999 includes destination. His tax rate is 7.75% and his out the door cost was ~$17,500.   He bought a red color Roseville Toyota (NorCal). Replies to this message: jilliew (Jul 14, 2008 6:34 pm)

Replying to: mrcoolguy209 (Jul 14, 2008 4:37 pm) That's a pretty cheap price. Must not have had much on it.I bought mine down the road in Auburn from Magnussens. I went tor the XLE and my extras were alloy wheels, cruise, vsc, jbl stereo system, xm radio. I bought a spoiler from Spoiler Source and the rear bumper guard, dash cover, and mudflaps cheap on ebay. Went to a body shop and had the stuff installed. Also got some really cool sheepskin seat covers. Still need to get body side molding. I don't buy accessories from dealers, way to expensive. Before accessories I purchased the price OTD was 20,300. I can hardly wait to get new tires. I just took it on a vacation to Yellowstone NP. I drove practically the whole way doing 65mph and according to my Garmin Nuvi 360 I got 46.6 mpg.

You bought a Corolla for that much? Probably better off getting a Camry for that price...better car with great mileage for it's size. Corolla prices have gone crazy with the outrageous petrol prices. Now I know why hyundai's are selling as well as they are.   The Sandman Replies to this message: jilliew (Jul 16, 2008 9:50 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Jul 15, 2008 2:30 pm) I didn't think that was expensive at all. I didn't want the lower mileage of the Camry. And by the time I outfitted the Camry, I would have paid lots more. I bought it at invoice and the rest was tax/lic. I'm very happy with it. I don't haul around a bunch of people, it fits me just right. I made lots of calls, all the way across the bay area and never found a better deal for a fully loaded XLE. I could have gotten an LE a lot cheaper but it wasn't what I wanted. The last car I would want would be a Hyundai. YUK. BTW, I did buy a 100,000k/7yr extended for $900 and that was part of the OTD price. Those computers cost at least $1000 each and I feel much better knowing I wouldn't have to pay for it. Plus if I'm away from home and something happens I get food and lodging and another car to use. I know that people scoff at extended warranties and this is the second time I purchased one. I purchased one for my Outback and had to use it a couple of times, and it paid for itself and more..
#2034 of 2141 Hyundai by sandman46 Jul 17, 2008 (9:03 am)
Hyundai has come along way and that perception of it being a cheap brand is misguided. We've had all the economy japanese brands now and their quality has gone downhill from their heyday in the '80's and '90's. The Elantra is the equal of the Corolla and the Civic now and the Sonata is definitely on par with the Camcords. My oldest and I pulled up next to a brown '08 Elantra about an hour ago and it looked very sharp...it will be her 1st car when we buy thanksgiving week. The prices of the Civic and Corolla have gone outta sight now and what one would've paid for the last generation LE, which is now the XLE, only buys the new LE, last generations CE. The Corolla XLE and the Civic EX are already in Camry/Accord pricing territory. I understand in your case the Corolla "fits" you, but I think many will cross shop the larger Camry/Accord once they see the final prices they are getting on the smaller Corolla/Civic models. The price of petrol is really affecting many products associated with nit.   The Sandman Replies to this message: jilliew (Jul 17, 2008 11:26 pm) rospotte (Jul 18, 2008 10:45 am) jilliew (Jul 18, 2008 8:19 pm)

Replying to: gane (Jul 08, 2008 5:58 pm) gane   Which dealership is this in San Jose area (and salesperson initials would be great) ? Am looking for similar deal. The quotes I am getting over the phone are much higher, like 18.3+TTL. Thank you,

Did call Ron Carter, (in Houston) did not hear back. Then went to JM dealership. I had one thing in mind for me and they had something else in mind ,only about $800 more. Went to Mike Calvert through my Credit Union. Nice gentleman, not pushy etc. What we are coming down to is about $18,300 (apprx)OTD. electric windows, keyless entry, cd, mats, weather package, stripe, mudguards. In the Gulf coast area several extra fees are attached to the invoice for Toyota, over $1000 that kick the price up. I have seen the same thing on several invoices. The way things are going I have been told some dealerships will be getting sticker price for the smaller cars. Some dealerships are already doing that. Anyone else in Houston do much better?
