2003 Corolla CE, black sand pearl, stone interior, all weather guard package (w/power locks), floor mats, cargo net. Paid $15,000 usd. Probably a little high (I'm guessing about $500), but I wanted it NOW and I'm the first one on my block to have one.

I wanted to know when will be the Invoice for 2003 corolla be available. I recently checked out the invoice for corolla S 2003 with the options I want at www.kbb.com and they said a price of abt $15200 including the destination charge, but the dealer says an invoice of about $15700 for the same car with the same options. Also the dealers are not ready to negotiate much since it is a new car. When would the price for this car go down .... I dont think I would like to pay so much for a Corolla. Thanks in advance for any insight .... |

| For XR_Matrix: Good idea to get 15" steel rims for winter (especially in salty N.S.). What size of tire are you going to put on them? | |
Paid $15,608 today for LE Auto with following options: Guard Pkg (CK), Cruise (CL), Radio Upgrade (EJ), Mats (CF). Dealer advertised invoice + $300 in today's newspaper. They told me they had 6 in stock and expected all to sell today. I also paid a $249 advertising charge as well as $180 document processing fee, which are included in the $15,608. Sticker for mine (not including advertising or processing) was $16,557. I am in the Kansas City area. Pretty painless process - I am happy with the deal I got. I do a lot of long distance freeway driving - 35M miles per year - and feel this car will serve me well. I had tested Focus, Sentra, Protege, and Civic. Thought about Lancer, but have seen mixed reviews. Jetta I liked, but I wasn't sold on long term durability, not to mention much higher sticker. I liked the Focus, lots of features for the money, but unsure about durability and quality. All others felt cramped compared to Corolla. I felt the Corolla offered the best value. Another selling point was that it has a timing chain rather than a timing belt. FWIW, I purchased a 2002 Camry LE 4C Auto for my wife yesterday, ABS, keyless, power seats, floor mats for $19,300, just about Edmunds invoice. While Edmunds doesn't have the info yet, Kelley Blue Book does have invoice prices for the Corolla at their site. I am hoping these cars will last us for 6-8 years.

I wonder if anyone has any advice on "dealing" with dealers in Southeast region. I have heard that there is something peculiar about this geographic region. I did my research and decided that 2003 corolla CE is a good replacement for my old Mazda protégé. I printed a decent offer from carsdirect.com (250$ below MSRP) and I am planning to ask the dealer to at least match it. Unfortunately, all cars on the lot have worthless options (including $610 Toyo Guard). I guess I will have to ask for factory order or similar to get my options. It sounds like some dealers request a deposit for such an order. Is it reasonable to object to this deposit? Also, how long it takes to get delivery. Thanks, Jacek |

BTW, does anyone have any experience with ordering through carsdirect.com? I used once carorder.com and was moderately pleased but it does not exist anymore (I think). Thanks |
