Yes, I can afford to go with either. My driving habits are rather boring (for a 33yo guy). I do most of my driving in the city, highway occasionally when going to the beach. I LOVE the '09 3 and yeah if I could find one (it's becoming much harder) i'd jump on it. The '10 3 has some issues i'd need to mentally get over. The Corolla seemed solid enough, and while the acceleration/cornering don't even come close to the 3 I'd never drive aggressive enough to fully appreciate it. What i'm thinking is maybe get Toyota and Mazda into a bidding war against each other and see which one gives me the best deal. I have a '97 Civic now and it's time to be retired. Honda is out...they haven't improved sound insulation in 12 years and I HATE the digital/analog (sp?) dash.

hahaha...just to let you know...if you get into a bid war now....I am pretty sure Toyota will win. You can get an LE auto with no extras for 15.1K easily, and there is still some wiggle room. BTW, your price for the S is good IF it has a sunroof. If there is none, try to talk him down to somewhere in the 15's.
 
 If you can find a 3 (yes, they are depleting fast), there might be a dealer who just might want to get rid of it. It seems that the hatchbacks are pretty much gone, but there are still a few sedans out there. If you get the i version of the 3, then you can probably get a really good price, and teh price would be more comparable to low end corolla trim lines. But I would not get into a price war for them, especially since it is between two different brands. The number of 09 3's on the lot is too small to do that.

The price I was quoted is w/out a sunroof. I'll see what I can taking your suggestion into consideration with them. I don't really want a sunroof....I get enough sun in Tampa outside the car. Plus it's just one more electronic gadget to fix once broken. I keep cars 7+ years so less is more for me. If I can talk them into the 15s on the S he emailed me about i'd seriously consider it. The 3 is a nice little car but the grill and lack of temp. gauge have me going through a mental block!! What's the deal with toyota.com showing the "value" sport package at $355 and the sticker at the dealer $1400. From what I see the two packages are identical.

The 3 does have a temp gauge, as does the corolla. 3's temp gauge is located on the radio LCD and is always visible. Corolla's temp gauge (and clock) is located on the tachometer and you have toggle through to get to it. It's kind of annoying because your mileage rating is on the same LCD, so you have about 5 different things to toggle through to get to it.
 
Does Toyota's website still give specs and prices for 09? From what I understand, options are actually cheaper on 2010, so they have an over lower MSRP once options are added.

HA I should clarify. The temp. gauge i'm referring to is the one that tells you whether the car is overheating or not. The '10 3 doesn't have one. I didn't mean to infer the temp. display that tells you the outside air temp.

What is a loyalty discount (if that is a rebate from Toyota, you can still go lower or or it just another name for dealer discount)? But that price seems good....you are at the point of where some dealers will not want to be in. If you have a large dealer nearby, it may be worth it to go there and see if they can beat it, but I will tell you now that that price is definately aggressive. It is priced to get it off the lot at this point.
 
if you want to negotiate with just that dealer, i'd say try for the spoiler one, but try to get $200 knocked off by having them just include the floor and trunk mats (provided they are included in the price) at no cost.

Thanks for the response and input.
 
Royalty discount is $500 off for those who currently own a Toyota or household family members who own one.
 
I think it is a good price, too, but debating whether to push the dealer further buy asking them to either throw in the spoiler for free or reduce it by a hundred or so.
 
Another obstacle for me is that the color they have is Barcelona red. With that color, the car will draw unnecessary attention, especially from law enforcement. At least, that is whay I think.
 
Thanks for your suggestions.

That royalty rebate kind of makes the price better than it really is....how much is your customer cash rebate in your area? If it is 1750, then you still have about $300-$500 worth of wiggle room.
 
This is why I always tell people to not say you have any additional rebates until you negotiate the price.

I had a corolla but sold it this Feb. Is ther any way I can get this loyalty discount if I don't have the offer sent by mail? The dealer said they need to have a paper offer from Toyota credit for this discount.
Are there any other incentive for 2009 corolla besides the 1000 rebate and 1000 for college graduates? I am looking for a reason to get 300-500 lower.
Your suggestions are appreciated.
