Hello Carbuyer88,
 
Which dealership (or city) in MA did you work with? Would you recommend them?
 
Thanks,

2010 Corolla LE in CA by markjoe

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 apr5.9%.
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?

You can't get the tax back.... but, you can deduct it off of your income...
 
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,

NY/NJ - 2010 Corolla LE for 16,000 (basic features) by fountainhead

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

2009 Corolla XLE- Atlanta by cheekylady

MY OTD was $16,800. This was with a 2K incentive + 1K for my trade in, and started at invoice. MSRP $20,175. 2009 XLE 4 speed auto w/ 16" wheels, Floor Mats, Keyless entry, AM/FM 6 CD changer Satellite Capable w/ 6 speakers, Cruise control, Power tilt/slide moonroof. I was satisified and thought this was a "good" deal, but I'm not sure and starting to think that there was more room to knock off a bit more. Although most of these post are for LE rather than XLE.
 
I saw another Atlanta poster earlier that paid 15850 OTD if I remember correctly for an LE. If I compare my OTD price on XLE with sunroof and maybe a couple extra's I'm only $950 higher. I may not have gotten the best price, but since it's an XLE rather than just a base or LE I don't think it's a bad price either. Comments?
