#165 of 235 purchased! by ilovecamery Feb 04, 2007 (4:26 pm)
Recently just pulled the trigger and bought one. We prenegotiated through email and phone with several dealerships and just walked in to sign the deal.   2007 XR Auto ABS Value package #2 6 CD changer   $400 recent grad rebate   We paid $18600 out the door, considering we have 6% tax rate here, we are only paying about 1-200 above invoice.   We could have done better because after the purchase, we emailed the other dealerships and two of them readily matched this price.
#166 of 235 Advice needed: preowned fleet vehicle 2006 Matrix XR? by aeffort Feb 10, 2007 (3:09 am)
I'm an artist in the Bay Area and need to cart artwork/equipment around--I was happy with my old Camry 5 DR hatchback but time to replace...After checking a lot of models seems like the Matrix offers the space I need.   I found a preowned 2006 XR AWD, auto, 11600 mi, all power, ABS, side airbag, alloy wheels, moonroof, orig warranty, at dealer asking $17998, CARFAX says 1st owner corp fleet lease registered San Ramon, 11500 mi, 2nd owner held it for only 3 mos in Riverside--can anyone advise me whether this is a good deal/ should be checked out/ or any possible catch? Thanks!
#167 of 235 2007 Matrix XR options question by rookie11 Feb 11, 2007 (3:44 pm)
Hi all,   I am looking at buying a 2007 Matrix XR and the toyota.com web site shows four major option packages for the XR (for SF bay area zip codes)   Opt A: not a package at all Opt B: EVP#1 + 17-in aluminum wheels Opt C: ABS + EVP#1 + moonroof Opt D: ABS + side air bags + EVP#2 + 6-disc CD changer   I would prefer a combo of "ABS + side air bags + EVP#1". Will this combo be hard to get because it does not fit one of the four common option packages? Would those of you who bought this car recently let me know how easy/difficult to get this car with uncommon option combo?   I am considering buying a new matrix vs. a 2004/2005 matrix and if I cannot get my desired options combo, I might as well buy a used one and pay less.   Thanks much, rookie11

Well, I bought a car that was not any of those combos (mine is ABS + EVP#2 + 6-disc, no side airbags), and I am in the Bay Area also. My experience has been that you need to take what the website says with a grain of salt, as there will always be some vehicles floating around that don't match any of the "available" configurations.   Now, Toyota seems to have kind of an attitude about optional safety features, only putting them on the more expensive cars (as built), so getting a car with just ABS and/or side airbags may be very difficult. How likely would it be that they would build one with just EVP#1 and SAB+ABS? I would say probably not that likely, as they are building pretty much every single XR with EVP#1 these days. Once you're sure you want to go ahead with the Matrix, sit down with a dealer and explain that you want an exact configuration and that you would be willing to wait for it to arrive if necessary. I bet they will be able to find one somewhere, and sometimes they will actually take a factory order if not.
#169 of 235 m theory special edition price by lablover2 Apr 18, 2007 (2:52 pm)
hi everyone, i just got a price on a matrix auto-special edition of $17873 plus tax title-etc. it lists for $20,420-it sounds like a really good deal to me but i thought i would ask you guys. i already have financing arranged thru eloan so i think my trade might be the only place they can really get me as i am good at saying no to all of the dealer extras. do you think the price is too low to be true?

Replying to: lablover2 (Apr 18, 2007 2:52 pm) You don't say where you are geographically speaking, and don't give any specifics about the features, but looks very reasonable. You also don't reference any of the addon junk fees (doc fees, admin, etc) which they may try to add when you get down to filling out the paperwork.   Here is a comparable MSRP vehicle. It's 150 approx more MSRP, and approx 200 more for the car, with no doc if out of state, 99 doc if in MD.   Matrix Replies to this message: lablover2 (Apr 19, 2007 5:20 am)

Replying to: kiawah (Apr 18, 2007 3:42 pm) i am in a suburb of chicago and the doc fees here are limited by law to appr. $58. the m theory is a special edition with specific included items which are too many to list. as i did say it was auto trans-it only comes in one color-speedway blue-has larger tires-special suspension etc

#173 of 235 need to add air conditioning by dcamarce Jul 14, 2007 (11:37 am)
I just purchased my base Matrix last April so far the vehicle has already 8kM, everything in my vehicle are manual But I need to add an airconditioning, I already asked the dealer in North Vancouver,B.C. and they said they don't have air con kit available, they been advised me that I can go to the wreck yard to check if there is any. If they have new it might reach as high as $3000 CAD Is the Corollas aircon will fit to Matrix?
