0.0% Financing by willyd

I'm in the New York / New Jersey metro area, and I'm in the market for a Corolla LE with ABS, Cruise, Side Impact. I want 3 years at 0.0% APR (my credit is high enough...i think!!) but theoretically, this is not offered in my area...only 2 years. 3 years is for MA, ME, NH, etc.
 
Can I still get this rate around here? Any tips on how to go about this??

Got my car at $15425 in NYC by alexxl

Thanks for the quotes people gave here, I purchased a 2004 Corolla LE (Auto Trans) for $15,425 + in transit fee in New York area before I moved to another state. I then paid the local tax there. The options are as follows:
  AB Antilock Braking System
  BE Side Impact Airbags
  CL Cruise Control
  EJ AM/FM/Cass/CD Combo
  CF Carpet Floor Mats
  CK All Weather Guard Package
  C1 Trunk Net
After I requested quotes from the net I went to a dealership and they offered $15800 and asked me to put down $100 deposit (100% refundable). Later I went to another dealer where my friend bought his van there. I told the salesman that I got offers between $15400-15700. He asked whether I decide to buy if $15400 is fine with the manager and I said fine. The manager offered $15500 with I said I can get elsewhere and later lowered to $15425, which I agreed with the trunk net throwed in the deal.
I am happy with the deal and the car, except that the acceleration below 10MPH drags a little bit (which may be the case for most cars in this class) and the "rotten egg" smell sometimes.

Looking for a car in Maryland ... by neec1

Hello All:
 I'm looking to buy a new car in February or so. My top picks are the '04 Corolla S and the '04 Civic LE (automatic and 4-door). Each car has things that I like and dislike, which is making this decision even MORE difficult! Does anyone have any suggestions? There are TONS of dealerships in the VA/DC/MD area for Honda and Toyota so I have plenty of options. I test drove the Civic and LOVED it; the salesperson allowed me to take it out by myself, so I really got to drive it. I also test drove the Corolla but the salesperson had to sit with me, took me on a horrible course (it wasn't conducive for feeling the car out), and he knew NOTHING about the car! I want to give the Corolla another shot, because it clearly got a raw deal. Does anyone have anything they'd like to direct my attention to as far as purchasing the S over the LE? Thanks!

I used to own a Honda Civic until I got tired of the same old styling and recently bought a Scion xB. It's an incredibly fun car that is in the same price range as the Civic/Corolla but is made in Japan and sold by Toyota/Scion dealers. I believe in MD/VA/DC they will start selling them in February, but dealers may have one on display. It looks unusual (some people call it weird) but drive it and check out the interior room before you settle on a Civic/Corolla. On the other hand if you prefer a sedan, check out the new Mazda3 - much better than the Civic/Corolla, imo.

2004 Corolla LE - San Jose, CA by vnguyen5

I just bought a 2004 Corolla LE with:
Automatic transmission
AM/FM/CD/Cassette Combo w/ 6 speakers
Cruise Control
Carpet Floor Mats (4-piece set)
Trunk Mat
50 State Emissions
----
The price quoted at Carsdirect is $15,377 as the MSRP is $16,630 and Invoice price is $15,277.
----
After ALL rebates, including the $400 college graduate discount, I got this car for $14,085 at Piercey Toyota in San Jose. This is before tax and other fees of course. Out of the door price was $15,516.98. Price wise, this is not the best deal I was offerred, but the service + not having to drive so far made up for it.
(By the way, you can get the discount if you graduated in the last two years or will graduate within the next 6 months. Thought you may like to know.
-----
The Internet Sales Manager was VERY helpful and nice and so was the Finance Manager.
I did all my research online and negotiated through emails.
--------
I went to Capitol Toyota first and received such poor service and high price, too. The saleman said that he was not allowed to show the invoice price. He hid it while someone he called his manager passed by. He showed me the invoice price acting like he is the nicest saleperson, risking his job for his customer - what a liar!!!
-------
I bought my car at Piercey because of the price and the outstanding service level.
-------
I love my car!!!
