How Much Should I Pay: 2010 Toyota Corolla Prices

Question: How much should I pay for a New 2010 Toyota Corolla Sedan LE Automatic through a Toyota Dealership located in Connecticut

Queen of the Road: Hi there. Before you begin calling or visiting every dealership, I highly recommend you start a virtual negotiation with your surrounding dealers through out Connecticut through Braggle on www.AutoBrag.com. You basically place anonymous offers to all dealerships within a 25 to 200 mile radius within your zip code. Dealerships get to compete for your business without gaining your contact information. This method is the easiest procedure and it’s free of charge. There is no obligation to buy if a dealer accepts your bid.

According to AutoBrag’s statistics for the 2010 Corolla,
The National Average discount off MSRP: 13.37%
The National Maximum discount off MSRP: 23.06%

If you see a particular car you want, you can easily calculate the percentage off MSRP to see if you’re getting a good deal by comparing it to AutoBrag’s discount statistics.

How To Calculate The % Off MSRP: MSRP – Selling Price = X / MSRP = Y

Selling Price = The price the dealership is willing to sell the new car for. Excluding tax, registration and dealer fees

X = the dollar amount saved off MSRP

Y = the % off MSRP (Move the decimal point over two digits to the right and that’s the percentage you’re saving.)

Keep in mind that the price you pay all depends on the MSRP of the Corolla you’re looking at. If you see a one online or at a dealership, send me the MSRP and I’ll calculate a Selling Price.

If you’d like to browse through 7 pages of LE deals to get an idea, use the AutoBrag Car Price Search Engine.

The First Step: Open a new browser window and go to http://www.autobrag.com/#SearchCarPrices then select the appropriate Year, Make and Vehicle Model of the new car price you are searching for.

The Second Step: Choose which mode to display new car prices.

On the left hand side there are five selections on how you want the new car prices to display: Lowest Price, Best Value, Biggest Discount, Accepted Braggles and Countered Braggles.

The first selection is Lowest Price. New car prices are displayed according to the lowest price.

The second selection is Best Value. In this mode, new car prices are displayed according to percentage off of MSRP also referred to as “discount off of sticker price”.

The third selection is Biggest Discount. In this mode, new car prices are sorted by the biggest total dollar savings amount. Keep in mind this is not the same as largest percentage off MSRP.

The fourth selection is Accepted Braggles. These prices are derived from AutoBrag users who submitted buy offers through the Braggle System For New Cars and had their offers accepted by dealerships. This information is exclusive to AutoBrag and will save you thousands of dollars and hours of time.

The final selection is Countered Braggles. These prices are dealership counter-offer prices to Braggles submitted by AutoBrag users. This information gives new car buyers an idea on what dealerships are looking for from a pricing standpoint when car shoppers submit Braggles.

The FINAL STEP: Once you know what you should paying… utilize the Braggle System For New Cars on http://www.autobrag.com/ to decide which dealership to purchase from.

The Braggle system enables new car shoppers to negotiate the lowest new car prices by making anonymous offers to local dealerships simultaneously with just a few clicks. Dealerships compete, buyers win, and best of all it’s free for both dealers and shoppers of new cars.

Here’s a great car buying article written by a former car salesman you should read before buying. There’s always an advantage when preparing yourself for a car buying process. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. Goodluck and keep us posted!
