For those who already got LE, do your keyless work on the trunk? I have got different answers from different dealers, some say yes, some say no, but the charges for the keyless options are same.

Here in TX we are hit with the Gulf State fee that folks on the East Coast are not charged and that adds somewhere in the neighborhood of $700.00 or so and that may be part of the price difference you're seeing.

first time buying...

I just graduated from college and it's my first time buying a new car. I'm going to be buying a Toyota Corolla.
Anyways, I plan on putting 11,000$ down, getting the 1,000$ cash rebate, and doing the 2.9% financing to pay of in 36 mos.
The price the dealer quoted me was $16,271 for the LE model with the All Weather Guard package and the LE Extra Value package (plus taxes and fees).
Is this a fair price? I live in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls Region, and I would like to get the price down to $15k.

Actually....yes you can. Infact, that is how we bought our corolla (big rebate on S model followed by 1K college rebate). What you cannot do is combine low special apr with rebates. There is no writing anywhere that says you have to buy the car in cash to get the non grad rebate. The college rebate can be combined with any offer.

This may depend on the area. At least in TX, we checked with several dealers and all confirmed that you have to finance through TFS and you have to borrow at least $10K. So when you finance, you automatically give up the cash rebate.
But that is great if you were able to combine both the cash back and the college rebate. Where did you buy your S from?

July6 new incentive ?

Current incentives expire July 6, Gulf State Toyota region. Will there be a new incentive something ? Dealer in Houston reporting 09 LEs are sold out. Left over are stick shifts and xle models with half the rebate, twice the trashy options.
Toyota must be doing great in Houston, 10 customers walked in during that hour I was there, around 11 am Monday. Had to wait 10 minutes for an avalable salesman.

I think they misunderstood you or you misunderstood them. When you do the college rebate, you have to finance through toyota. You can get the the special low 2.9 or 1.9 or 0% (whatever it is in your area) apr if you want...after all, it is still financing through Toyota. You will however lose the cash back rebate. If you chose not to do the special apr, you will be subjected to Toyota's graduate rates, which is around 5.5% for tier 1 now. This is not a special rate. It is the normal rate for college graduate car loans from most auto companies. You can still use that rate and qualify for the the cash back rebate (however big it is in your area). If your dealers are telling you that you cannot do that, then it may very well be something unique to your area, or they are all just choking your chain so you finance through the dealer.
Call Toyota and find out. Also, the minimum finamce is not 10K either....we financed less with no problem. This is in MA.

yeah, Toyota is selling alot, unwillingly though. they are in "keep dealers head above water" mode (most car manufactures are) and to keep as much as their work force as busy as possible. If dealers close down, they lose market presence, they get less volume, they then have less production, then it leads to laying people off. As a result, they have to sell lots of this stuff for little profit or none at all just to keep afloat. The are relying on people not taking the rebate and going for the the low apr so they can eventually recoup the losess and they did 0% for 60 months a few months back because nothing sold at all in prior months. They had no choice at that point.
As for new incentives, no one knows. If we did, we would just wait until the better incetive came along.

I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from, but you --> CAN <-- combine the Grad Rebate with the current low APR's offered by Toyota Finance. Here is what I was able to do in MA recently (06/09) when buying my 2010 Corolla (if you're looking at closeout 2009 incentives, it might be different): Receive the $1,000.00 Grad Rebate (Applied to car, didn't take cash) Finance at 3.9% (for 60 month) through Toyota Finance Delay first payment for 90 days (as benefit of Grad Rebate) and got 1 year Roadside for no additional fee (as benefit of Grad Rebate) Hope this helps. It seems like the incentives will change after this 4th of July weekend; you might want to act fast. People are saying that "Cash for Clunkers" bill that (will be/was recently) signed might actually work (i.e. get a lot of people motivated to purchase cars) so manufacturer incentives (low APR's/Cashback) might quickly disappear and dealership might not be so motivated to negotiate low prices. Best of luck JAMG
