Replying to: cheekylady (Jun 22, 2009 8:13 pm) If the $16800 includes your 1K trade-in, then the real OTD price would be $17800. In fact, they probably made money off your trade-in too. I sold my 1993 Saturn with 200K miles on it and no AC for $1k private-party after I bought the Corolla, so unless your old car was a real clunker, $1K for it isn't much. The deal you got is at least $1950 higher than what i paid for my LE in ATL, then. I'm not sure that's a great deal, but given it's an XLE with options, it may be OK. |

Numerous people across the web have reported that the tire pressures on their newly purchased 2009 Corollas were set much higher by their dealerships than the levels recommended in their user manuals. I've also recently learned that increasing the tire pressure might be a way to reduce the highway "wandering" effect that seems to plague the EPS (electric power steering) systems on some of these cars. Putting two and two together, I've been wondering whether or not certain dealers might not be intentionally increasing the tire pressures on their 2009 (and possibly 2010) Corollas in order to mask the known steering issues. I hope this isn't the case, but my knowledge of human nature makes me suspect that it probably is. Have any 2009 or 2010 Corolla buyers noticed higher than normal tire pressures on their new Corollas after rolling them off the lot? If so, please let us know. I'm also curious how many "demo" 2009 - 2010 Corollas are set up with higher than normal tire pressures. Has anybody ever thought to check this? Of course, this sort of thing would never normally cross your mind, but maybe now there's a reason to check. |

Cars are shipped with the tires inflated to higher pressure... mostly to keep the tires from flat-spotting, but also for more stability while on the transport.. If cars are delivered with higher pressure, then it's more likely the result of a poor dealer prep, than a "handling" conspiracy... regards, kyfdx

Basic LE with following options: cruise control keyless (does not open trunk) AM/FM 6 CD changer 50 states emissions all weather guard package sunroof vehicle stability control floor mats $16,800 OTD includes the $2000 manufacture cash rebate. Tax rate is 6%, although some says only 5.4%. Considering there is $2000 rebate instead of $1000 as in other areas or other time, is this deal still ok or should I be able to get it lower?

Replying to: hhjane (Jun 26, 2009 7:01 pm) However, if you can document that you paid less than 90% of MSRP (before rebate is deducted), the 6% tax will be applied to that lower amount.. Hope that helps... |

Replying to: carbuyer88 (Jun 19, 2009 8:35 am) The only incentives I see here are the marketing support which is to the dealer directly from Toyota. Any special tricks or advice to get a 2010 for a 2009 price?
