How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Corolla & Camry

August 19th, 2008

Question From Chou: Which car should I buy?

2009 Camry LE
or
2009 Corolla S

Both of the cars are the same price.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Chou, Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you. What are the MSRP and the discount you got on both cars? Below you can compare the prices we got for the 2009 Toyota Corolla and Camry. In our opinion the Camry would be a better choice if you want a more comfortable car. If you are worried about gas prices the Corolla will save you some extra money at the end of the month.

For a 2009 Toyota Camry LE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A),

The Biggest Percentage Off MSRP Price: $17,795.00
MSRP: $22,164.00
ePrice: $17,795.00
Savings: $4,369.00
% OFF MSRP: 19.71 %

MSRP: $20,854.00
ePrice: $19,044.00
Savings: $1,810.00
% OFF MSRP: 8.68 %

How do you apply these prices?

Print out all the blue links and take them to your local Toyota dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Sales/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 a Toyota dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. This car in Florida should cost the same in California. The taxes vary by state.

If you want to research more Toyota prices, poke around on www.autobrag.com. Keep us posted with how everything goes.




Question For AutoBrag: Good Deal or Bad Deal

August 18th, 2008

This Is An Update To A Previous Question

Question: so there was an ad in the newspaper for a corolla for 15588, i told all my contacts from various dealers of this. realistically it’d be hard to get it at that price as these are “limited” in quantity deals.

so one dealer came back and said let’s meet in the middle. I misquoted the price as i was going off by memory, i told her the ad’s price was 15.7 instead of the actual price of 15,588.
the options for the car for 15588 probably does not include alloy wheels which are worth another ~500
according to edmunds, TMV is worth 18K including destination of 720. The invoice price of the car is 15067 (from car and driver, edmunds doesn’t have invoice price of car) and the invoice price of options from edmunds totals to 986 or total invoice price of 16773 including destination. She offered me 16327.
The colors of the cars she has in stock are not my favs, white (not metallic) and black (i got a black one right now, gets dirty real easily)

what do you think?

Queen of the Road: Hello again. The answer is simply: No Deal. Wait it out.

Never settle for a car. Buying a car is the second largest purchase. The first being a home. When my parents were car shopping, they had a specific color they requested. The salesman called them and said they had that color and it was ready for them. They drove 2 hours to pick it up and it was clearly not the color they asked for, but since they were already there made that long drive, they settled for it. Till this day, they regret it. So that’s why I recommend you never settle.

If you’re going to commit your precious time and a huge sum of your hard-earned dough, then make sure you get exactly what you want. There will be a surplus of Corollas in every color of the rainbow as long as you be patient and wait till the demand is over.

How Much Should I Pay: 2009 Toyota Corolla

July 21st, 2008

Question From Gbolahan: Hi,

Need help with this one:

Toyota Corolla 09
model:LE (non-diesel)
alloy wheels
mileage under 1500 miles
fabric interior
sedan
automatic transmission.. I am looking to buy!

Thanks dude.

Queen of the Road: I’ll research the price at 1,500 miles just so you know the maximum price you should pay with mileage below 1,500.

For a 2009 Toyota Corolla LE with 1,500 miles, wholesale prices range from $18,000 (being in above average condition) to $16,900 (being in average condition) and $15,800 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices.

If you are buying from a dealer you should expect to pay +12%-14% more than wholesale. A dealership’s estimated retail prices could range from $17.6k to $20k. How are you searching for this model? Dealerships? Private Parties?
