    Have liked this car so much that I just bought another for about $300 less than the first one. Took a bit of back and forth to get it even cheaper, but got it done.
    Speer Mabry at Mike Edman Toyota in Merritt Island is the man!

    Just bought a 2013 Toyota Corolla LE with tinting for 17,900 OTD in Corpus Christi, TX.
    MSRP 19,200 + 399 for tinting
    Selling Price 17331.25 minus 750 college grad rebate = 16581.25 plus ttl, fees = 17895.28
    This is with 0% financing and I put down payment of 2900 so monthly payment is 249.92
    I was getting internet prices from two dealerships in the area, starting from 19,700 OTD to 18,900 to 17,986 then both matched 17,900. I went with the one closer to home.

    Hi,

    I am also planning to get my Car from GA as the price difference between NJ dealers and GA dealers is too much.

    I have quick question did you fly to FL and drove back to NJ or is there any other way I can get my car here.

    I live in Merritt Island,FL...Just bought my second Corolla in 2 months. Both are 2013 Corolla L with Manual Trans.
    They are offering HUGE price discount on ALL Corolla models here.
    My first one was 13,690 + tt&l.
    The second was 13,590 + tt&l.
    They're running about $4k off MSRP on all models here.
    Been very happy with both.
    And I traded my 2012 Honda Civic Si for the second one. I miss it, but it needed basically a new motor after losing qt of oil every 1,000 miles. Cant beat the savings for the trade.

    I was also tracking prices in the Atlanta area and they seemed even better than South Florida. My daughter flew down one way from NJ and drove the car back. There are other ways to get the car back to NJ but with the additional costs you might not realize the savings you anticipate. Though the price difference is sooo much you still might.

    Automatic. The MSRP is meaningless. Negotiate from the bottom up (dealer cost) not MSRP down. Auto Buying 101.

    Yes, and compute your initial price as follows:

    Invoice, less holdback, less incentives, plus 2-3 % profit.

    Work up from that number, not down from any price the dealer quotes.

    Use True Car Target Price to get the dealer's true initial price offer. Reduce that by $299, TC's commission paid by the dealer for any new car sale through TC. This is a price at which most dealers would likely sell with no real negotiation.

    If your dealer will not play ball, use your feet and look elsewhere. You may not get the dealer's best offer unless you make them think you are leaving.

    Just got a 2013 Corolla S with automatic transmission.
    MSRP was $18,219
    Sales Price $14,500
    Tax $920
    Total out the door price $15,422

    This was at Cobb County Toyota in Kennesaw Georgia.
    Paul Garfield was the salesman, very nice, highly recommended!

    no dealer fees, nothing else added.

    I just bought a 2013 LE with an OTD price of $16,800. Elk Grove, Maita and Roseville offered me the same OTD price. Took the $1K incentive instead of 0% APR.

    Did you get the 0% financing from Toyota or did you pay cash or finance from somewhere else?

    Where there any rebates/incentives included in your price?

    Dear Forum Members,
    I would appreciate any feedback on recent 2013 Corolla LE purchases with 0% financing. I am also interested in window tinting and LoJack. Would appreciate any suggestions - will purchase in 7 days.
    Thanks a lot.

    Just bought a Corolla LE yesterday OTD price: $17,288 the only options were carpet mats, window tints and nitro fill tires (not sure what the advantage of this is or the cost associated with it). Took the $1000 cash rebate ilo 0% financing.

    Hello, I am in the market for a Corolla LE as well. Does the $17,288 price include the financing fee? What are your monthly payments and what was your APR if you don't mind me asking. Also, was this in the Sacramento or Northern California area? Thanks for your help. I'm looking to buy in the next few weeks before the 14's come out

    Thank you for your response. I just bought a silver LE (MSRP 19,200) in the Sacramento area for $17,700 OTD with 0% financing. The car was around $16,085 plus tax/license/fees. Payments are $295 for 60 months. I'm interested to see what the prices will be in a month or so when the new ones roll out

    I would like to know if the OTD prices that are being posted for the 2013 Corollas include the $1000 Rebate amount? I am new to this forum and want to get an idea on pricing for a 2013 Corolla. I am looking at a 2013 LE Corolla. If I see an $17,700 OTD price I know this includes all fees and taxes - but does it also include the $1000 rebate - or can I expect to get an additional $1000 back ON TOP of the $17,700 price?
  • Options
    weezymweezym Member Posts: 4
    $17,700 does not include the $1000 rebate. I took the 0% financing instead of the rebate. You can only do one or the other. If I took the $1000 off then the price of the car would be cheaper, but I would actually be paying more due to financing fees (probably around 17,950 OTD). Just find out what APR you qualify for. That will determine which option you take. You can price both options out and see which one is better for you. I hope this helps

    Do Toyota Incentives only apply to new cars on the lot? Or also to cars ordered from the factory?

    We like the 2014 Corolla LE but do NOT need to purchase right away. Just wondering if we would be able to order the color and options we want and still take advantage of a Toyota rebate if there is an offer later this year or perhaps next year?

    Also I assume we may not get a good deal on pricing if we order from the factory?

    I bought a leftover 2013 Corolla S (added options Southeast window tint, and floor mats, automatic transmission) at the end of September at Nalley Toyota in Roswell, GA. I was out the door with the paperwork fees and the dealer fee of $599 for 17,800 out the door (the way the paperwork was written, the car was discounted $3,600, but of course the dealer fee offsets some of that. I got top dollar on my trade per NADA, a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix of $7,500 for a net price of $10,300 before taxes, which ran me about $688 in Georgia. Car has been good so far...sometimes I wish I had waited for the 2014, but I knew it would be awhile before incentives kicked in. That is a very nice vehicle though, nicely done interior vs. the outgoing model, transmission has changed, as the manual has moved from 5 to 6 gears and the AT from a primitive 4-speed to CVT. Also, the back seat has much mroe leg room in the new model.

    Bill, that is an outstanding price at Cobb County Toyota. How was MSRP that low on an S? I bought one recently at Nalley in Roswell and MSRP was over $20k with just window tint and floor mats. I got about a $3,600 discount off MSRP but then a $599 dealer fee was assessed. Your price was outstanding.

    Great net price. I bought one at Nalley in Roswell about a month later and my net price out the door was about $800 higher than that a month later. You did really well. Mine did have floor mats and window tint (about $700 in options), and I was trading a car they were giving me top dollar on, "clean NADA trade in" and I had her for sale for a month on cars.com earlier and wasn't moving it at a net price $1,500 higher than the trade. Additionally my trade was worth about $500 in lower TAVT on the car. So a $7,500 trade was like 8k. Still thinking I should have taken them down another $500 in net price but not too bad.
