We bought a new 2001 Corolla and paid about $23,000, you wouldn't pay much more for a 2010 Corolla. Daryl

So why didn't you haggle them for 12 months petrol as well if you really think there is no end to the haggling game? In fact why did you pay so much? Fact is the dealer knows at what price it is no longer profitable for him to sell. You won't go below that point unless he has a good reason, and if he does, then you are just as likely to get a cheaper price as replacement mirrors. But hey, you can believe whatever you want, even if it's nonsense. MrT. |
