the new corollas are pretty sweet rides.....i tinted one recently and they are definitely nice and much more sporty than previous models......

i dont know that there is a scientific approach to some of the advice you will get such as "third model year is price reduction year" or get gap insurance....if you need gap insurance you didnt buy your car right..i have never had to carry it or needed it.....if you shop around someone has the car you want at the price you want (within reason, you cant buy a 350z for 10000) in my life i have owned 16 vehiclesin the last 18 years...dont get antsy and stick to what you want to pay... i like to lowball so low they are afraid to take the offer to the boss the first time.....ill be like "ill do 175 a month for 60 months, thats all i can swing" and regardless of what they tell you the bottom line is important but if you know what you want to pay a month and for how long if they want your business they will have to adjust the bottom line...either get you a lower interest rate or come off the price or give you more trade in......the only one who gets a percentage of the sale is the lot and the salesman....the loan people at the lot get paid by financing you for say......5% somewhere and selling you that same loan for 7%...they get a portion of the difference....so they always have room to maneuver....i used to go golfing with a sales manager for a large chevy dealer here and he taught me a lot

I love Hondas, my family is filled with them (funny we are Italian), so I'd put my money on that, just dont get an Automatic if you do get one.

Well, I am back from a dealer, with my brand new 06 Corolla S. Getting a manual was too much of a pain and a wait, so auto is what I've got.

I got 1k for my van as a trade in. Sooo nice to be rid of that POS.

Me happy, but pics will come after it has been detailed :)

Damn, finally got rid of your sexy van. Good luck picking up chicks now. just kidding. Should be pretty happy with that corolla. It should at least be a little more reliable than the van. And plus, now you have a dealer to blame things on :happy055:

Yup. Maybe in a week or two, I'm already hating the stock stereo! I feel the need to get used to the car first.

The best thing about the front speakers is that they won't need to be modified this time to fit my Rainbows.
