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. |

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.

Replying to: markjoe (Jun 19, 2009 5:02 pm) I was at the dealership shortly after my 2010 S arrived on their lot (it wasn't "prepped" for pickup yet--still lots of packaging on the car). They opened the trunk and there was a plastic bag with the carpet floor mats and the trunk carpet all rolled up together. As they came in one package, I do think you are correct and your salesperson lied to you. See if you can get $100.00 credit from their service department (i.e. on labor for oil changes/tire rotations etc.) at their dealership. It won't cost the dealership as much as handing you $100.00 cash, but the value to you is the same. I used to work in a bicycle shop and we'd do this all of the time if we couldn't match the competition's prices. We'd throw in a free tune-up or two, which would normally cost the customer $65.00, but would cost the shop very little (1/2 hr to 1 hr work of an employee making $12.00-$18.00 per hour). Alternatively make a stink and try to return your overpriced trunk mat, go to another dealership and try purchase the entire package for $100.00. This means at the end of the day you'd have 2 sets of floor mats + trunk mat for your $$ rather than 1 set of floor mats + trunk mat for the same $$. Not sure if all of this work would be worth it ($100.00 is a relatively small % of the price you probably paid on the car)--but if you're upset and have the time, you could always try.

Replying to: mickeycat (Jun 27, 2009 9:20 pm) I don't know about 09 LE's, but my 10 S's master key has 4 buttons: lock, unlock, panic, and trunk. The trunk button has an icon of an open trunk and is marked with the word "hold"--when I hold the trunk button, my trunk opens!  How many buttons did your keyless system come with? If you give us some more information someone is bound to help you out. Maybe there are two systems (perhaps a mid-year change)? If you do have a trunk button, I would expect it to work. If you don't have a trunk button, I'd probably read your owner's manual to see what's up.

For those of you who have taken advantage of the $1000 college graduate rebate on the Corolla, how did the dealership confirm that you were in fact a recent grad? I have not received my diploma yet. In fact, the university charges to mail it to me (I don't live nearby), so I would rather not have to incur that cost. I do know that I need to bring proof of insurance and proof of employment (or future employment offer with a start date within 120 days). That information is on Toyota's website. They just don't say what, if anything, I need to bring to confirm my recent graduation.
