Replying to: abchin486 (Jun 17, 2009 5:45 am) I need to mention that I am seeking the help from a person who works for AutoLand. I went into a couple of dealerships and did not like my experience at all with the salesmen. Therefore, it was recommended, through my credit union that I ask AutoLand to help me because they do all the hassling and bargaining for me. At first I was going to take Toyota's rebates and finance through my credit union but in order to get Toyota's rebates you must finance with them. Therefore, I am financing through the dealership instead of the credit union but the person from AutoLand is still helping me get a good deal. With that said, it is difficult to discuss the rebate after the fact because upfront he asked me, "do you qualify for the college rebate" what was I suppose to say? "Maybe I do, maybe I don't?" Also, the dealership the person from AutoLand is dealing with is from Torrance, so I am not sure what the MSRP or their sticker price is. Today he just spoke to me and now the OTD price is $17,600.14. There are no additional costs, the amount I have to pay is $17,600.14. I have the official contract in my hands, and here is the breakdown of it: APR: 3.9% Finance charge: $1,574.46 Amount financed: $15,100.14 Total payments: The amount you will have paid after you have made all payments as scheduled: $16,674.60 Total sale price: Down payment: $4,000 (this includes $1500 in rebates and my $2,500 down payment) = $20,674.60 Monthly payments are: $277.91 Cash price of motor vehicle and accessories: $17,160 Documentation preparation fee: $55.00 Sales tax: $1,592.39 Total cash price: $18,807.39 Is there any information you would like for me to give you?

hi, I just bought a 2010 Corolla LE in CA. base LE + Cruise Control + Keyless = $16800 OTD. I asked the salesperson to throw in a Carpet, he charged me $100. Then it turned out that he did not throw in the trunk carpet, and he refused to do it after I found out. He argued the trunk carpet is a different option from the front&rear carpet (I believe he lies. Please correct me if I get him wrong). Is it fair to get the whole set of carpet for $100? So $16800 + 100 for carpet = $16900 OTD. (I believe this is not the great deal, but a OK deal) Then I used the $1000 rebate for college, which brings it down to $16900 - $1000 = &15900. I downpaid 10k, then I need to finance about $5900 for a apr  5.9%. The tax in CA is 9.25%. The finance guy also mentioned, as a part of Obama's stimulus policy for this year, I can get the tax for the car and registration fee back when I file the income tax for 2009, is this true? |

Replying to: markjoe (Jun 19, 2009 5:02 pm) That means you save the federal income tax on the amount of the sales tax.. So, if the tax was $1500 and you are in the 25% federal tax bracket, then your savings will be about $375. As always, consult a tax professional..  regards, kyfdx

The lowest phone/email quote I am getting from NY/NJ dealers for a 2010 Corolla LE is 16,000. I plan to go to the dealership and negotiate for $400 or so lesser than that. The price quoted includes the $500 cash-back Corolla is giving currently. Features include auto-transmission, all weather guard package, cruise-control, keyless entry, carpet mats - the basics. Is this a reasonable price or am I being over-quoted ? Please let me know as I want to purchase it while the $500 cash-back is available. Thanks ! Maya. |

Just picked up my Corolla from a dealership in NY and used the AAA Auto Buying Club discount. I was given the dealer invoice (approx. $16,000) and AAA adds just $200 above that. So all in all I think I did very well. My question is I don't see any attachments to put up a cargo net inside the trunk. I happen to have one but it doesn't look like I can use it. That is disappointing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Jan |
