2013 and Earlier - Toyota Corolla Prices Paid and Buying Experiences

sdride · July 2009

Check out Fitzmall.com. I picked my 2010 S with sunroof for much less than that. It was such an easy purchase i would not hesitate to do it again. It's worth the two hour drive from philly to the Chambersburg PA store. The price they list is what you pay +TTL. No haggle no hassle. You can do 95% of the purchase over the internet and jsut show up and sign the papers. I was in and out in 30 minutes. I'm all for buying locally but this was just so easy. Could I have haggled locally for a better price? I'm sure but for the ease of purchase it was worth it.

tasay · July 2009

I've checked out Fitzmall.com The prices seem to be the best deal all around. It would be great if the local dealers match their price. Hate to travel 2 hours but if it is neccessary then will do.

sdride · July 2009

I asked if they could even come close and they said no way. I asked my sales guy about what other toyota dealers in his area thought of them and he just smiled and said that they hate them. He did say that people still buy from their local dealers and use the fitz price to keep them honest.

meloon · July 2009

I think Fitzmall offer an option of driving the car to your place for a price. Not too sure if it's offered in all of their sites/cars, but I believe that's what was offered to me from the places in MD (they said $200 from there to Philly, for a Hydundai car). Not too sure how the services/experience goes, since I have not yet decide on the car, so would be interested if someone can share their experience if they ever use that option before.

the_guy · July 2009

It seems they just had a couple of cars at that price. The offer I had is not good anymore.

misscat · July 2009

I don't know why the dealers in buffalo NY are so tough and difficult to deal with. They all stick to the price they quota first time in EMAIL.16481(before any incentive)+TTL is the lowest price I can get here. Is it a good price to take the car? I think if I go to finance program, I can get 1500 cash rebate( 500+1000 college). They said they don't have 750 coupon.

i_need_a_car · July 2009

Tough luck misscat unless u r driving to MA before 31st to buy one :-) . Good that u r getting that Grad rebate though.

Omvan, plz check my previous posts for details on that.

2010 Corolla LE, Silver
Long Beach, CA

Options:
EVP (Cruise, Keyless, Mats)

$16,200 out-the-door (after $500 incentive and $500 loyalty rebate).

How I got the price: I basically e-mailed local dealerships and told them I had an offer for $16,500 OTD and asked if anyone could beat it. Some dealerships e-mailed me and told me that I was lying. Other dealerships e-mailed me and said if the offer was real that I should jump on it right away. Finally, I got two legitimate counter-offers. I walked in, signed the papers, and drove-off with a new Corolla.

That deal at Fitzmall is great if you can get it. But I'm dealing with 9.75% sales tax out here so 15.5 OTD might be tough. I'm sure I could have done a bit better, but I'm happy with my purchase.

sdride · July 2009

From what I understand you can't combine the $500 and the college rebate. It's one or the other. But if you can get the car for 16481 before any rebate the college rebate would put you at 15481 correct?

i_need_a_car · July 2009

sdride,

The cash back and grad rebate can be combined. Read below:

the_guy · July 2009

Dealers are not giving great deals now as they expect cash for clunkers will be enough to boost their sales.

iengster · July 2009

Which dealer did you get your car from? The price seems to be reasonable.

acroding · July 2009

The price seems to be good. Could you tell me the name of the dealer? I am also on the market to look for a 2010 corolla in SoCal. If you don't feel comfortable to disclose the name here, could you send the name to my email: acroding@hotmail.com? Thanks.

watfallet · July 2009

This seems to be a very good deal. It would be helpful if you could provide the following for your car:

1) MSRP
2) Price you paid (not including taxes, title, and doc fees)

Working backwards and assuming you paid $250 in title and $50 in doc fees, I figure you paid about $14.5k for the car.

Also, where did you get the loyalty rebate?

Thanks

zekeman1 · July 2009

Why, because of the price?

Sandman6472 · August 2009

Shouldn't this be the purchase price or am I missing something here?

shand32783 · August 2009

MSRP 19874
Invoice 18388
Was offered Invoice minus the $500 rebate and the 5 year cash for clunker lease rate of .00047.

Has anyone else done the Corolla on the 5 year lease through the cash for clunker deal on toyota.com with the $500 rebate?

What was your payment per month?

I have tried every local dealership within 200 miles and the best deals are at invoice.
Nobody if moving from there.
Anyone else done a cash for clunker lease? Can you breakdown your deal?
thanks

online4me · August 2009

Can you tell me what dealer in Massachusetts gave you this awesome deal?

2010corollas · August 2009

I bought a 2010 Corolla S at Corona CA.
I paid $18700(OTD), in this prices include loyalty$500, graduate$1000,cash for clunker$4500, downpay$3000, and 60month with 3.9% APR.(it was first new car in my life, I will pay $180 a month.)
So I actually paid $12700. was it good deal?
Thank you

Sandman6472 · August 2009

Of all the Corolla's, that is the one I'd buy. A guy at work bought a white S and it's a nice lookin' ride.

The Sandman :shades:

sikka50 · August 2009

Thanks for sharing your posts - am posting my own experience. We brought a new 09 Corolla in July - drive out price was $15,000 (including TTL) - only options were mats, automatic and keyless. This was at Toyota dealer in Alpharetta, GA .

All other dealers quoted ~16000 - Nalley had a special on a few cars they had.

steven39 · August 2009

does anyone know what i should be able to purchase this car for down here in south fla??2010 corolla S 5sp manual..i don't qualify for any of the rebates and this will be a cash purchase.dealer quote i recieved a few days ago seemed a little on the high side at $17,100.00..been comparing this car to the kia forte which at the moment seems like a much better value although the resale value on the kia is not the best compared to the toyota corolla.

splahn · August 2009

Has anyone else been charged a dealership fee? in my Out the Door Price I was quoted a $949 dealership fee on 2010 Corolla S. I have only seen this at one dealership and the sales guy told me it is pure profit for them and most dealers don't put it in the quote price but end up charging it when you actually write the check for the vehicle. Is this true?

splahn · August 2009

Today in Central FL I was quoted for a 2010 Automatic Corolla S invoce &17,529. This is with the 16 in alloy wheels and spoiler. I am not sure if this is a good price or not either. was your price standard or with options?

all168 · August 2009

A friend bought a 09 corolla 3-4mo ago for $15500 including TTL in Los Angeles, don't understand why their price go up to $17000+ OTD now. maybe 09 was in clearance.

movinout77 · August 2009

Hi, everybody. I posted here -- movinout77, "Lost? Ask a Host for Help!" #2608, 4 Aug 2009 11:05 pm -- # 2608 -- since my questions were general in nature, but the motivation behind them was originally from my wanting to buy a Corolla. The power steering issues (which I also posted about) are making me leary about it though.

If you have any experiences about paying in cash, what that means for shopping and *rebates* within the context of the Corolla, please share them. I'm also wondering if anyone had trouble finding a metallic blue S model recently as they seem rare when I search inventories. Any insight? Thanks.

PS - Is anyone else disappointed that the rebate offers seem to have disappeared in August -- even for the '09's? Anyone see that changing anytime soon?

movinout77 · August 2009

Stephen, I see that you posted this on Monday after you posted on Sunday that you weren't happy with the test drive in another thread. Did you have a change of heart?

steven39 · August 2009

first off,my name is spelled steven and 2nd after looking at and test driveing a 2010 kia forte EX yesterday my decision about the corolla is floundering a bit at the moment.when i was given the quote for a 2010 corolla S with auto for $17,100.00 i decided to compare this against the competion.what i found was for $17,490.00 msrp kia forte EX just blows the corolla away as far as haveing way more features for the money as well as a better warranty.here are just a few examples of what the forte EX has over the corolla S model...power...corolla 132 hp,forte EX 156 hp,4wheel disk brakes,sirius sat radio with 3 month sub,bluetooth,usb plug in,..ect..
so from a value point of view the forte wins out although resale value for the forte remains a concern.

movinout77 · August 2009

Thanks. I'll looking into adding it to my list of candidates. Sorry for misspelling your name.

2010corollas · August 2009

Yes there is in clearance, if you can buy a 09 corolla now(if possible), you can get $1500 (clearance rebate)more than 10 corolla.

movinout77 · August 2009

It stinks that there are no rebates in my area (NY metro), but does anyone know what strings are attached to the cash rebates? Do you have to finance through Toyota to get them or would I be able to combine them with a cash purchase, if they ever make their way to my neck of the woods again? Thanks.

2010corollas · August 2009

Ops! The clearance sale periods is over! I can't find any rebate information about 09 corolla at Toyota web pages, it was there in July, there are so many rebates program(clearance$1500, special$1000,factory$500,low APR etc,) may be cash for clunker get leads them out. I apologized gave you wrong information.

dantz · August 2009

I read your original post on the other thread (08 Civic vs 09 Corolla), and I think you were somewhat tricked. I also think you didn't do your homework and went in there unprepared. Not only does your deal sound kind of unusual, but the MSRP's you are quoting sound unrealistically high, although you don't mention which accessories are included. Did you look up the MSRP's on Edmunds.com to make sure they are correct?

nniuq · August 2009

I do not qualify for cash/clunkers. Is it a bad time to buy a new car (corolla) if you do not qualify?

If so, how long do you think it will be before dealers start making deals again?

thank you!

fushigi · August 2009

If you can, I'd suggest waiting until about 2 or so months after the C4C program ends before buying. Transaction prices are up some right now and supply for some models is tight due to demand created by C4C. I'm estimating it'll take a couple of months after the program ends for supply to rebuild and demand to slow enough to bring back the deals we were seeing a couple of months ago.

Assuming you'll be financing, though, start making payments now. Make payments into a savings account or similar and then use that money to increase the size of your down payment when you do eventually buy. My brother did that; when he paid off the first car he ever bought he kept making payments to himself and used the money to buy every car since then with cash.

nniuq · August 2009

I got cash already to pay in full. I had thought this would give me leverage when buying but now I am not so sure. I have heard that dealers will resist lowering prices because they will not be making money on financing. Should I just lie and say that I am financing but will discuss it after we agree on a price?

nniuq · August 2009

a dealer offered me $15900 plus tax today for a Base 2010 Corolla with automatic transmission. It was not the color we wanted so we declined. But my feeling is that it was a pretty good price.

njgal973 · August 2009

My offer for a Corolla LE 2009 standard OTD price was 16,500 CASH . They claim was that their invoice price was 16,700. So with taxes, fees, etc it brings it so somewhere above or below the msrp of 18,500K. Total BS much? an 09 not even the '10

After looking at this site, I am disappointed. They had a black sedan @ $17,859msrp and a gray one @ $18,314. msrp
When we argued with them and said that research on multiple website stated that their invoice price was 15,300ish and no one would pay anywhere near the msrp they argued different. They said we were in LA-LA land, etc, etc. They kept on referring to their little booklet. We told them about the prices that many people had brought their cars at, buyers who posted their prices at edmunds.com, true cars, yahoo, etc. and the saleman said that all the buyers are/were lying.

Route 22 toyota Hillside worst service I have ever seen. He practically chased/harassed us out the door. We've bought three/four cars from them in the pass 10 years. Now they can forget about it. After that horrible experience, never again are we going to go back.

arnomantis · August 2009

dukeie · August 2009

WOuld you please tell me in NC area, what is the reasonable OTD price

Thanks

JL

mrt0802d2 · August 2009

What dealership did you get this quote from? Is there any way that you could share the quote information with me and sales person's name. I am looking in Raleigh and it would really help to have this information to talk my guy down. Your deal is looking a lot better then what I have been able to get.

dukeie · August 2009

2010 Carolla auto base OTD $17,026 NC 27514

alamocity · August 2009

Don't see a lot of postings from the San Antonio area so thought I'd share the price I helped my nephew get on his new Corolla, MSRP was $19,040.00, purchased for $16,040.00 plus TT&L. Car had the following options: Toyota Auto Care, LE EVP# 1, Roadside Assistance, Owneres Reward Package, Vehicle Shield Package. Very hard to find an LE model without all the options in stock, seems Gulf State Toyota likes to tack on a bunch of stuff not worth the price. All in all a fair price and the buying process was painless at Charles Maund Toyota.

alkesh · August 2009

Hi Guys,
I was offered $15318 + destination + tags + tax + dealer fee = $17447.00 Out the door from antwerpen toyota in MD on MSRP of $17,950. Is this a good deal? I offered $1700, ans NO. I offered $17200, still answer is NO. So, I just walked out. Dealers are not interested in negotiating at all cuz of the clunkers.

Thanks,
Alkesh.
