#90 of 2115 dbehrens1 - An XR like yours is down south somewhere by footie Jun 30, 2002 (11:00 am)
Hi dbehrens1   You ordered a configuration on an XR that I've was looking for too. They are impossible to find or get here in New England, where the ABS is valuable - hence the reason Toyota sends them to the South East.   I figured out that the SouthEastern Toyota dealerships ( AL, GA, SC, NC and FL) are getting 2WD XRs with 5spd, some of which are equipped like yours.   If you check SavannahToyota.com, they don't have the spec car you asked for but the inventory listing says there are 39 other 2WD 5 spd XRs either at other SET dealerships or inbound to them.   If you want to cut short your wait perhaps you could get your dealer to get one from down South! For example, I looked through all of the Lunar Mists XR 2WD 5spds and saw one that is config'd like your plus the moonroof option. It's VIN ends in XXXXXXXXXXX26A535 from the inventory listing. They don't tell you where it is but it is due to its dealer on 7/9, which means its probably in 'port' which I think is Jacksonville.   Maybe your dealer could contact SET to see if they could get it. It has a high MSRP because down south they add 1970's rip-off packages called 'Toyo Guard' which includes stuff like 'paint sealant.' But perhaps if its an intra dealer deal, you could get that option price reduced to zero given its value.   Good luck!

i just traded my 2002 for a 2003 corolla CE (Black Sand Pearl)   im picking it up in about 2 hours, and i also got one that was built in japan!!!!   this car came of the truck last night (no test drives 0 miles!!!)(2 came in last night and both are gone this morning)   i paid msrp $15102 (i know... but i figure what the heck when i bought cheaper my dealer sucked so i dont mind paying the extra $10 a month)

what made you decide to trade in your 2002 for the 2003? Were you having any problems or did you just want the '03? Keep us posted on how you like it!
#93 of 2115 britton2 by mpyne Jul 02, 2002 (9:41 pm)
it was a couple things. i was so unhappy with the dealership i bought my car from that it almost ruined the whole experience of having the car. 2nd was i figured my payment would only be $30 dollars more a month so what the heck. lastly i thought this would be my only chance of owning 1 built in japan (i know sounds weird but i want to see if the quality is really that much better compared to cars built here or canada)   as far as the 2003 corolla. all i can say is "oh my god!!!!!"   the car is sooooo much better than the 2002 model. i know youve heard this but it is like a mini leuxs. also im still getting used to how big (tall) the car is compared to the 2002 model. its like you can just walk in it(dont have to step down) and the headroom is amazing (im 5 11 and plenty of headroom.   this car is a keeper for a looooong time. i love it!!!!!!!

Sound good! I love the look of the '03 - it reminds me of a Lexus as well (I have a relative who has a '02 ES 300) - I have a '01 LE - like it very much - am very pleased with the gas mileage too - but I must say the '03 looks alot better - good luck with your new car.
#95 of 2115 Has anyone paid $14k for 03 Corolla? by mralan Jul 03, 2002 (7:15 pm)
Has anyone paid $14k for an 03 Corolla with auto? I've seen ad cars for that amount, just curious if anyone actually approached that figure?
#96 of 2115 My new Matrix by beethoven07 Jul 04, 2002 (10:30 pm)
I just bought a new Matrix to keep the Camry company in the garage.   I bought a Lunar Mist XR FWD w/ automatic   plus:   17" Alloy Wheels All Weather Guard Anti Lock Brakes Cargo Mat Carpet Floor Mats Cruise Control 3 in 1 Stereo Sport Plus Package Bumper Protector VIP Alarm System   MSRP - $19,597 Invoice - $17,546   I paid - $18,300   I feel this is a pretty good deal for this time in Portland, OR. There aren't too many Matrix's in the area yet and most people in the NW seem to be paying MSRP or even a little over.   I bought my car through Autobytel.com
#97 of 2115 2003 Corolla purchase by luongs Jul 06, 2002 (6:44 am)
I just pickup my 03 LE Corolla with auto after a week of searching through every dealers in PA and NJ. This car is made from Japan (VIN # begin with JT)considered myself one of the lucky one and priced at $15800.
#99 of 2115 compare 2003 corolla models by mpyne Jul 07, 2002 (3:21 pm)
we should compare build quality between the nummi/cambridge and japanese built corollas' to see if the quality control is different.   my 2003 japan built corolla is solid, i only have had it a week so maybe to early to give thumbs up yet, but i thought my car tank was broken because my gas mileage is really really good. im getting close to 40 miles a gallon!!!
