#574 of 761 Re: graduate rebate [abchin486] by jamg Jun 30, 2009 (6:36 am)
Replying to: abchin486 (Jun 30, 2009 5:59 am) 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

Replying to: markjoe (Jun 19, 2009 5:02 pm) MarkJoe,   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.

#576 of 761 Re: Does 09 LE keyless opens the trunk? [mickeycat] by jamg Jun 30, 2009 (7:17 am)
Replying to: mickeycat (Jun 27, 2009 9:20 pm) Hey MickeyCat,   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. Replies to this message: mickeycat (Jun 30, 2009 5:46 pm)
#577 of 761 What information to present to get the college grad rebate? by watfallet Jun 30, 2009 (1:45 pm)
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. Replies to this message: abchin486 (Jun 30, 2009 5:15 pm)

#579 of 761 Re: Does 09 LE keyless opens the trunk? [jamg] by mickeycat Jun 30, 2009 (5:46 pm)
Replying to: jamg (Jun 30, 2009 7:17 am) Thanks, jamg. I did not go to look at the cars yet, I was getting price quotes from different dealers for 09 LEs. All of them said the keyless entry was factory installed and the price charge is same for the option, but the answer for whether the keyless opens trunk is 50/50 yes/no. I started thinking if the keyless is not factory installed, then the solenoid is not there, so the dealer installed keyless does not open trunk since it's cheaper this way. 09 models are almost all gone in my region. Hope Toyota will give higher rebates for 10 models in the rest of the year.

#581 of 761 Re: July6 new incentive ? [abchin486] by tx_ice Jul 01, 2009 (7:15 am)
Replying to: abchin486 (Jun 30, 2009 6:08 am) Dealers may be willing to deal, but there are a lot of factors that determine how far they are willing to go. The most important is how seriously you are in buying from them. Dealers don't want to be bait for another dealer to get drawn down further and then lose the sale to that 2nd dealer. The second is whether they have the car in inventory or have to do get the car from another dealer.   I have some dealers just not willing to go below $15.5K on an 09 LE when you negotiate via the Internet. I bought a car for my parents in March at $14.5K but noone is willing to get to that level.   But it is true that in Houston inventory is very low and you really have very little choice in equipment and colors.   Good luck to all you shoppers!

#582 of 761 Corolla S 2010? by alltimeqb00 Jul 01, 2009 (11:52 am)
Replying to: tx_ice (Jul 01, 2009 7:15 am) New Buyer here and was looking into a 2010 Corolla S. I have yet to even go out and look but have done some emailing to see what the first offers were. So far, after one round of asking them what their lowest offer on a 2010 corolla S, one dealership came back with this:   16,998 + TTL Driveout $18,281.81   I'm pretty sure this is way too much still, but does anyone know what I could shoot for. I live in san antonio, texas by the way. any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Replying to: alltimeqb00 (Jul 01, 2009 11:52 am) I did get some quotes on 2010 LE's in Houston and the best I got was $16,295 + TTL. Nobody would beat that offer. So your price for a S maybe pretty good.
