枫下家园 / 爱车一族 / Any DX help me? thanks in advance: $24700(including freight and tax) for 2001 corolla LE, is the price fair? -wangshuny(dd); 2001-8-3 (#155347@0)

fair, but should include the air conditioning and auto transition. if basic, could be around 21K. -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-3 (#155374@0)

thanks a lot! but is it possible to bargain, let's say $24000 or something like that ... -datou(大头); 2001-8-3 (#155404@0)

it's alway possible. but the 'net' price for the car is not so important as u think, anyway, there is only $700 diff. -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 {320} (#155503@0)
if i were u, i will pay more attention to the loan interest, down payment, warrity , service package and when i can get the car. the dealer would like to see u pay cash for saving the $700, even the new car finance is only1.9%. otherwise, he also prefer to deduct the money from other options. take care the whole thing.

could you tell me more about warranty and service package? I am really new about this, I thought every dealer give same service package for new car ... -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155520@0)

i believe the new car's warranty is same because it's provided by factory, but -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 {274} (#155543@0)
dealer will ask u to buy extended warranty or service packages, they can make money from these options. of couse, someone feels these kind of things are useful, but others look them as garbage. if u buy some options u may possibly get hundreds bucks down. u can think of it.

so service package is always optional, but if how much do I need to spend on these option and how many options do they have? -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155549@0)

wow, this question is so professional that only for the dealer: how can i know how many options they have? :) the way is: -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 {210} (#155571@0)
don't say: how much do i need spend on these options -- change ur mind: if it's necessary that i need these options? if yes, then which one fits me well? and if i can afford? not only focus on the money,ok?

yes, sir! Gotta run, thanks and talk to you later maybe. -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155583@0)

Why LE? CE is enough. for a LE, I'd rather go with a camry -eglington(eglington); 2001-8-4 (#155463@0)

good point. but a full-loaded corolla LE is still cheaper than camry. also results in insurence and tax, even loan interest. -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 (#155482@0)

even 4 cylinder camry, I need to spend extra $5000 - $6000, could you compare difference bet. corolla and camry ( 4 cylinders), thanks -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155493@0)

i say 'good point' because i feel u spend extra 20% money and u get ur car upgraded to a higher class. but not wise to spent the money on the diff. between CE and LE. -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 {326} (#155521@0)
it's not necessary to compare camry and corolla, they r two classes as i said. u can find the diff. everywhere. anyway, i will not go for camry. it's more expensive, and it's absolutely family car, for mid-age, couple with child, business career or sth. like office-guys. it's not for me, xixi... u make ur own disicision.

couldn't find dealer with 2001CE, and 2002 CE comes with higher financing rate (5.9%), do you know any dealer who has 2001 CE ? thanks -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155535@0)

i'm in vancouver, hehe... ask for egg, he has corolla. -sailer(SailingBird); 2001-8-4 (#155545@0)

Egg, you must have CE, which year? does Pasu have 2001 CE and where? -datou(大头); 2001-8-4 (#155557@0)
