BTW - I was in Lowe's yesterday for an unrelated item and they carry a different brand by the trailer hitches and truck boxes. (If you want to buy it locally for easier returns - most auto parts stores should have them also).

http://www.trademotion.com/parts/2013/Toyota/Corolla/LE?siteid=214095&vehicleid=388431&diagram=8428435 Might get a better price here, but you would have to call them as 2014 info isn't online yet, and shipping will be killer. Actually, the new bumper probably comes primed - so it is probably...

There are lots of differences between the S and the LE - and suspension wouldn't be the key one (Even if the suspension is the same, the 17-inch vs. 16-inch wheels probably change the ride/handling). If you really wanted to confirm - drive an S-base and an LE base as those should both have the...

Interestingly - there isn't a huge price difference between the S and the LE in most trim levels - the ECO is about a $1000 upcharge. The base S is a few hundred more than the base LE, but you get fogs with it.

http://www.cipausa.com/product/wedge-15-x-2-stick-convex-hotspot-mirror-49002 Might be what you want - at least an idea to consider.

Seems like a reasonable price (without doing extensive research).

No you don't ... Not really .... You might get $3,291 off MSRP sticker if the dealer offers special pricing, but you might save $3,500 off MSRP just walking in off the street and negotiating. I get X-Plan on Ford's through my work, but if you just walk in off the street you can negotiate...

Absolutely ... From my own research and a few things I've picked up online. Edmunds is usually high on new cars - TrueCar tends to be also, but it gives you a starting point and point of reference (i.e. - you should always be able to match the TrueCar price, or if not, just click the "SPAM my...

Okay - I'm still confused. The dealership you bought the car from is the same one that doesn't want to do anything about the paint, correct? Do you mean it ISN'T a true car dealer? Do you just mean it doesn't match www.truecar.com prices, or it isn't a true car dealer (Joe's New Cars as...

Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean they aren't a legitimate Toyota dealer, or you just mean they don't honor the www.truecar.com pricing. I know with gas stations - most are franchised, but a few are corporate-owned. I assumed ALL car dealers were franchised. If they have a big...

Okay - I'm mostly guessing here - but ... When you are working with the service advisors at the dealership, to some extent, the dealership has to decide how much of a loss they are taking on the car. The selling dealer is probably more likely to work with you, b/c he wants your repeat...

I looked into the lemon law since it was mentioned earlier in the thread: http://www.ncdoj.gov/consumer/automobiles/lemon-law.aspx Seems like there is a legal loophole here: The North Carolina Lemon Law, also known as the New Motor Vehicles Warranties Act (N.C.G.S. 20-351), applies to new...

Have you checked with other dealers? Wouldn't be totally uncommon for one dealer to say "That's Normal" and another to say "That is totally unacceptable, let us get that taken care of". In this case, I'm not too hopeful b/c there aren't easy options for them. (i.e. if the cruise control...

As GotWheels mentioned - cars are often repainted during assembly - but I don't know if this is documented so I don't know if the dealership could tell you whether it was or wasn't if they wanted to (which they probably don't).

FWIW - I saw a black 2014 Corolla on the road on the way home yesterday - no orange peel in the paint that I could see, but obviously, I didn't have a chance to do a careful inspection. Do you know how these are worded? I.e. does it mean a Corolla painted in Mississippi has to have...

Understood - like I said previously, I've seen new cars that I would have passed on at the used car lot b/c they looked like they had been re-painted (badly).

Unfortunately, the time to complain on both issues is BEFORE you purchase ... "This one isn't too bad, but I really was wanting an S Model ..." <See how quickly they can locate an S model at another dealer and have it delivered to their dealership for you ...> "This one is perfect, except for...

Again - you need to look at the other 2014 Corolla's - particularly the black ones like yours. If they all look like yours, there isn't much you are going to be able to get them to do about it. If they mostly look better than yours - "If mine is normal, how come this one doesn't have the...

Can you just unpair the phone? I think it would lose radio presets if you disconected power from the radio for an hour or so (either unplug the harness at the rear of the radio or disconnect the negative battery terminal. I would guess contacts would be lost along with the presets. On another...
