This is going to be my first car, till now i was in NY and have managed without car/driving. I was initially looking for a used car found a 2006 civic lx (25k miles) for 11,400$, accord vp(2007, 18k miles) for 12,500$, 2007 corolla LE without cruise and ABS(18k miles) for 11,500$. Initially i was looking around for new Corolla's. Yesterday i got quotes from couple of dealers. One was offering 2010 Corolla LE with cruise for 14,500 +doc fee (300$) +taxes, another dealer was offering the same for 15,000 + doc+taxes. Thanks for the help I am torn between the used cars and new cars, what is your advice. Also if you are suggesting new one what are the options you would suggest adding and any other thing i can bargain for such as free oil changes etc? I have also heard complaints on the 2009 Corolla moving sideways on highways, will it be a problem for me as i am a new driver?

The options are very personal on what you like in a car. Personally I would suggest trying to get an S for $15k over the LE. I know our dealer was selling them for that price as a standard for a while and I so wanted to get one over my LE.

Rented a LE...barebones car...seats were horrible but pick up was nice and no drifting and also had good radio reception. No clock though...odd. The S model is better equipped & nicer looking with the alloy wheels. Go for it! The Sandman

Guys I have a question Now the lowest otd price I got is from a dealer 60miles away. If I buy his car, does that mean I need to go to their place to do maintenance? Newbie question...Thanks

Replying to: abchin486 (Jun 11, 2009 12:17 pm) I'm nervous because quite a few other dealerships said "yeah, right--they won't stick to that number--email me if you actually walk with that as your OTD." I'm trying to sort out these naysayers are telling me truth (and numbers won't go through when the car comes in), or if I really did land a good deal and they're bitter they didn’t get a sale during these hard times for the dealerships. Edmunds has lists the car as follows MSRP $18,565 Invoice $16,929 TMV $ 17,675—if I’m not mistaken these should be PRE tax/title/plates? What are your thoughts? |
