Got the price via internet pricing, but got it price matched at the dealer closer to my house.
Anyone know if the pre-paid maintenance is worth it on these? I checked the maintenance schedule for the 2008 Corolla, and there doesn't seem to much beyond oil change, tire rotation & air filters until 120K.
According to Edmunds car pricing the MSRP is $20,828, Invoice $18,080, What Others Are Paying $20, 828. I paid $18, 700 and 20,300 OTD with our expensive CA T/L fees.
I bought it at Magnussen's Auburn Toyota in Auburn, CA. I bought it through the asst fleet and internet manager. He told me he only made $200 on the car. Never just walk in and deal with a salesman. Always call the dealer and ask the name of the fleet and internet manager and/or assistant and deal with them and bargain, bargain, bargain. Or just go check out the cars at a dealership, decide what you want and buy it online. You can still bargain online. I love to bargain. I should start a business LOL.
I was going to buy a Prius and then started doing cost comparisons. With this car you can go to your own private mechanic, you don't have to go to the dealer for maintenance, etc. With the Prius you can only go to the dealer and their prices are HIGH. With the $$$ you save between the 2 cars (in my case I saved $8000) you can buy a lot of gas. There are other costs savings involved also. So I'm only getting 35mpg instead of 45. It's worth it. Depending on how you drive you can get up to 41mpg. On the way home from the dealer, 20 miles, all uphill I got 36.2mpg going 60 mph.
The new body style is really nice, they look like Camrys. The seats are way more comfy than any other Corolla and both interior and exterior are quite spiffy. The car handles well on the street and highway and it's really zippy. I'm a happy car owner.
One last thing. A lot of the accessories you can get on line at a much cheaper price than you can with the dealer and they are genuine Toyota. Go to www.dealerfit.com and plug in the car. They don't have the 2009 stuff out yet, but a lot of the 2008 stuff, like the cargo net, cargo tote are the same.
If you are buying sheepskin seat covers you can go to www.sheepskin.com They don't have a category for 2009 because they say the 2007 one will fit just fine. And they make them for the side air bags, which is what you want.
I am a employee of Toyota (Sienna, Tundra and Sequoia plant)and that was just about the same as what I paid.
Mine is an S with moon roof, jbl 6 disk changer, xm radio, 8 speakers, ipod hook up, steering wheel controls, cruise control, heavy duty heater w/ heated power mirrors, 16'' alloy wheels, floor and trunk mats, blue tooth, rear spoiler, chrome exhaust tip, power windows with keyless. my cost before adding the100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, anti theft package and 3 years prepaid maint. was 18620.
We just went through a major change on the Sequoia's and that is a big pain, so I'm not looking forward to it.
My car is an (S), Black Sand Pearl, 5-spd Stick, 6 disk changer, and all the other bells and whistles. I've driven it about 60 miles to get back home. RPM's in my manual trans Corolla were exactly 3,000 at 70 MPH. Very much like my '06 I traded in. The interior appears to look maybe a little cheaper, as the plastic is very hard and not as nice looking as the previous (S) I owned. Seats are comfortable as expected, ride is controled and nice. The car is VERY quiet on the highway (better than previous years). JBL sound system w/XM is wonderful and "thumps" accordingly. One thing previously noted in another thread somewhere here is that the clock is located in a multifunction little window inside the gauge cluster. You need to push the little button in to switch between clock/mpg/average miles to empty/etc. Not as convienient as previos models, but still functional.
The car is also noticably a bit wider and seems longer too (although I'm not sure it is). Completely satisfied with my peppy, fuel effiecient, redesigned COROLLA S.
Dealer where purchased....KOLAR Toyota, Duluth Minnesota. Only had 5 new corollas....2-S's, others were LE's. Enjoyable buying experience.
MSRP $20,794
I Paid $18,506
I'm pretty sure I got a decent deal... is there anyone else that paid a similar price?
I like new design, quieter engine and all other futures it has, but don't like at all BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL 400 OEM tires. These tires have low performance ratings, they are on 22 place in the category, are noisy even brand new, and after 15 000 miles the comfort and road noise is unbearable.(according the Tire Rack survey)
Could you share your experience in this matter and what is OEM tires on your Corolla S.
I paid $19,600. (who knows, I could have probably gotten a better deal. it's a crap shoot).
That's just my experience. I thing you may be paying the full sticker with no discounts. Prices paid seem to vary a lot depending on your geographic location.
Good luck
Can you tell me where you saw the spoiler for $139? Also have you had the fog lights installed yet? I saw those bling lights on ebay and emailed the guy but his answer he didn't answer my questions. I don't see how they'll mount at the stock location without hacking up the black grilles.

I just ordered a
2009 Toyota Corolla
XRS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Blue Streak Metallic
with the following
SR Sunroof
PO Power Package
Z1 Preferred Accessory Package
CK All Weather Guard Package
MSRP 22599 I paid 19759 $2800 off sticker. $300 under invoice. Took about 15 minutes to get this price
Here's how I did it.
I built the car I wanted, then emailed all dealers in the area last night asking for their best price. I then took that best price and emailed the dealer I actually wanted to buy it from. He beat the lowest offer I received and I drove over, wrote a check that won't be cashed till it arrives for $500. That was it
Dealer was Toyota of Waldorf in Waldorf, MD Internet sales dept. Very painless.
I am looking to buy a New Corolla 09 LE.
The current promotions going in bay area are 2000 OFF MSRP + 0% APR for 3 Yrs.
Is this a good deal ??
The MSRP for Corolla 09 LE is $16,500.
How much I will have to shell out (OTD) considering this offer?
Thanks,
DR

Can anyone beat this ?
Thanks for the help everyone !
:surprise: :confuse: :shades:
$19,400.00 seems to be the best deal so far. No sunroof too on this Corolla S. $100.00 bucks isn't enough for me to fly or drive down. It would cost me more now with gas breaking the $4.50 / gal. mark !
I still hit up my sale rep. and see if he will match...worst he can say is "no" .
Thanks
if this is so, then this is a good price!!!
Located in Mass. Considering the Corolla LE package below. The sticker is .18,200. Can someone suggest what I should be able to talk the sticker down to?
THanks for any Advice!!!
with Cruise Control ,6 Disc in Dash ,Remote Keyless Entry w/Key Transmitter ,
Carpet Mat Set , ETC...
