How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Corolla
Question From Teresa: DFW area, how much should I pay for a 2009 toyota corolla, automatic LE? Do you have any preference to corolla v/s honda civic?
Queen of the Road: Hi Teresa. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! When comparing the ‘09 Corolla and the ‘08 Civic, both are pretty much equally reliable. So it’s a tie there. In terms of appearance, the Civic would have my vote. Have you test driven both vehicles? It’s important that what you’ll be driving for years has your approval.

You’re probably wondering why I gave you links to dealerships Out of New Jersey. I’ll get to that in one second. But first…
What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.
If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.
If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.
If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.
The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.
So now what? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.
If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. If you want to research more new car prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com.
Keep us posted with how everything goes, Teresa.
