What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Toyota Corolla
| Price of the Toyota Corolla: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The payment on the car is less than 300 a month for a nicely equipped car. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The Corolla provides a lot of "bang for the buck" in my mind. It has all the things I need in a car, all the things I wanted in a car, and even a few minor fun "bells and whistles" for good measure - all at a price I can afford easily. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Decided to go with Corolla because it was several thousand cheaper over civic for similar features. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
I felt this car was reasonable price for its class. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Low interest rate on lease payments. Reasonably priced car while well equipped. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
we got a pretty good price (before tax,tags and title fees) from a ford dealership. Bought in 2010, it was a used 2007 model. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Low payments and priced right, it seems that newer corollas can be had for what you would have paid for a new vehicle 2 or 3 years earlier. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I only took the automatic transmission option and it was one of the cheapest. Interest rate was only at 1.7% for me. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Great pricing, easy financing |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Paid $14,500 |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Purchased new, well-equipped for the market segment for 15k. Very competitive pricing relative to lesser known (by me) brands. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It was what I felt I could afford at the time I had to replace my 1995 Saturn SL1. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
low price |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
A/C, power window, power door lock, ABS, side airbag, rear spoiler, alloy wheel, 6 speakers, remote keyless entry, and more for $16,000 brand new. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
This may just be a little quirk with me/my location but I could not find it cheaper used anywhere in Texas. I guess on the other side though, it was one of the cheaper Pre-Owned Certified vehicles I was trying to find. Another one was a 2011 Honda Fit asking was 15k but had 40k miles for example. I bought this one for 13.7k (full bumper to bumper coverage for next 4 years) so you can't be too sure. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Its expensive compared to Sentra, Elantra and Lancer, while providing the same or less features. Also mainteinance is expensive but is because the brand, not the car. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 132-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
More expensive than a Focus (but more car, too, and better resale value for sure). |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Not as much of a bargain for what you get and the payments were too high for a boring daily-driver. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 130-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
sort of upmarket cost for a dinky little eonobox with crappy handling. But I guess you pay for the fact that it will biodegrade before it will wear out. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 5.6L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range |
Nissan had a great lease offer for V8 SE models and the payments were less than what the competition was offering. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
The Pathy runs about 10% cheaper than the Toyota ForeRunner, which is an excellent vehicle, but comes at a premium price. I think the PF runs 99% of the Toyota longevity, and about 95% of the fit and finish. This makes it a better buy in my eye |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
We where able to deal a $34,000 pathfinder down to $26,500. with 4.0% interest. GREAT DEAL! |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range |
Was less than a 4Runner. |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD |
Theres not another SUV in its price range that has the power, features, and quality that the Pathfinder offers. In my opinion is superior to the Toyota 4Runner in every possible way while being a little cheaper. |

| 2003 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
As it is an import SUV, you will pay more than comparable domestic SUVs. However, the reliability of the Pathfinder should more than make up for it. |
