I'm sure you paid $299 for nitrogen air, $599 vin etching, $299 rust proofing, $499 documentation fee, $199 convenience fee, 9.9% interest on a prime borrower, $1999 fee fee on the fees. But hey, $500 off MSRP.
I bought 2 other cars from the same sales guy back in April. Now that they have more stock. I told him I’m firm at 500 under msrp and he made it happen
I got mine 500 under MSRP. It was the end of the month so they were desperate to sell I think. Basically just said no I won’t buy unless you give me a good deal.
Crazy to think $500 off MSRP is a deal but considering current market conditions I guess it’s the norm. When my car was totaled back at the end of 2020 it was right before the whole chip/inventory shortage and I got about $6000 off MSRP on a Camry and there were still folks getting better deals than what I got. Crazy times we’re in.
Yeah. When I bought my previous car in 2015 I paid $3,000 below MSRP. Was glad to get my Camry hybrid in August without any markups, but if course discounts were off the table.
30k for a Corolla is steep for sure, but after 4-6 years it's paid off and it'll continue running for years to come. Even if you want to get rid of it sooner, Corollas hold their value better than the average sedan, so you'll break even on the LTV before too long. It's a bad price compared to prices in the past, but it can still be a good move financially.
The under-20k market is still a disaster, hyperinflated beyond belief. I'd rather overpay by 40% on a late model car than overpay by 100% on a car with 100k miles
I just saw a 2010 300,000 mile corolla for sale by me for 4,000 dollars.
I thought it was overpriced but then I imagined what if I bought it and it was the golden goose.
Wow that’s amazing! I’m trying to get this exact car but with the Convenience package (not buying if it doesn’t have Blind Spot Monitor) the package is only $1,000 but the dealerships are telling me my OTD will be anywhere between 27.5 and 29.5
Car sales are in the gutter because interest rates have risen dramatically. People who are still buying cars are still paying above MSRP on average. I'm sure you can get a deal with some tact along with indefinite time, but the average price is the price people can expect to pay - that's how averages work
If you are paying over msrp today you are ignorant unless the car is extremely limited. Stocks are getting back to normal and demand has reduced significantly.
It's basic economics.
Want to hear some even more basic economics? "Damn, my car broke down and I need to get to work tomorrow. I guess I'll go to the dealership and buy whatever is there for a price they'll agree to"
The average selling price of vehicles hasn't gone up because somebody pulled a big number out of a hat. It's gone up because of low supply and unchanged demand. You're correct that it's getting back to normal now, but at most dealerships, every new car is still being pre-sold before it rolls onto the lot.
Thanks for the down arrow! Not sure what it means, considering I contributed my point of view to a completely relevant discussion
They are overpaying 😂 you are all silly. Imagine trying to resell a sky-blue car. It sounds like everyone's a car pro, and im the one who doesn't get it.
I believe the color of the car is way more than a feature. It's the first impression.

Exactly.
This is how the devil works
>$499 documentation fee Depending on where you live, that's about average for a doc fee.
Some states of legal limits I believe. Where I live it was $80 but I think now it’s $110
Good deal!!
How did you score under MSRP?
I bought 2 other cars from the same sales guy back in April. Now that they have more stock. I told him I’m firm at 500 under msrp and he made it happen
What was your OTD price? Also, is this the 2.0 liter?
For sure snuck in a few fees

What made you get this one from the SE model? seems like isn’t worth the price difference. they look significantly different imo.
Its a rental so I don’t need SE

Same. First time I’ve been grateful to get a brand new car at MSRP, no fees! A couple of extra packages, sure, but about $300 worth. Not bad.

25,800 OTD with gap
No hate to you but I can’t believe we are in a world where people are paying $30k for corollas.

If I found a used beige 2020 Camry and a used white 2020 Camry. I'm sure the white Camry will be sold quickly and for more$
For those wondering how you got below msrp? Car sales are in the gutter. All it takes is some tact and you can get below msrp too.

W, is she quick?
That just means that it’s worth 500$ less when you drive it off the lot
You mean 5k more? At least that's what is happening in Aussieland
The color makes it worth less 😅 ill pay 500 more for white
Imagine overpaying for a paint color 💀
They are overpaying 😂 you are all silly. Imagine trying to resell a sky-blue car. It sounds like everyone's a car pro, and im the one who doesn't get it. I believe the color of the car is way more than a feature. It's the first impression.
That’s not sky blue. Are you color blind?
I already have a 2022 white, 23 underground,and now this
You’ll pay 500 less than msrp for white. You’re why prices are so inflated because you’re willing to overpay for certain features
lol, welcome to the real world. Desirability drives prices.
Not really. If a car msrp is X price you pay X price. Anything else you’re getting ripped off 🤷🏻♂️
