I found a manual transmission 2022 Toyota Corolla XSE with around 70,000 mileage for around $20K. Is this a good deal? I got into a collision (hydroplaned) this morning and damaged the front end driver corner on my 2007 Corolla CE (manual) and thankfully nobody was injured. I got my car back from the tow company and it still turns on somehow. I was pre-approved for up to $28.5K with my credit union, but I'll try to negotiate the XSE down to $17.5K or have the dealer meet me halfway. I'm not a gearhead, so any insight from experienced anons would be appreciated. First post on /o/, btw. Thank you in advance.
>>29148000Anon, any car made during or after Covid is exta shit.I would avoid anything after 2019.Maybe 2020 depending on when the car was built. (1/3 were probably made in 2019)
>>29148001Reviews of this car seem good. It's the last year they made an affordable manual before the Corolla GR and it's made in Japan.
>>29148003Sounds like you want confirmation not an opinion.My statement stands.2020------Current=Shit
>>29148006You say that but didn't explain what exactly that means for this vehicle specifically. What makes it shit despite everything else saying it's not other than it not having the best acceleration?
>>29148012He's probably referring to modernization like push button start, infotainment tablets, backup cameras and lane keeping type shit. I have a 2025 and I have a key and can permanently turn off all that shit if I don't want it so I don't see a problem, not all vehicles
>>29148026Honestly, those modern features are nice to have, so I don't understand the hate. Like you said, you can turn it off if you don't want it, so it's all optional at the end of the day.
>>29148000It’s 20k for a used corolla with 70k miles. No, not worth it. >b-but it’s and xseStill a corolla though. Some vinyl seats and “sporty suspension” hardly justify the markup.
>>29148000>I got into a collision (hydroplaned) this morning Shouldn't have skimped out on tires while driving at speeds exceeding the conditions of the road
>>29148000No, the end.Buy a civic hybrid for all your econoshit needs and avoid Toyota tax.
I wouldn't, not at that price. It's 4 years old and nearing high mileage. Given nu-yota's engines and manufacturing I wouldn't put faith in the condition of the engine or transmission. But that's jitsu me.
>>29148065Have you seen the market lately?
>>29148000>Toyota Corolla XSEYou can get a brand new 2027 XSE for under 30k.
>>29148239Not for a manual.
>>29148000It's a nice car, well put together and the M20A has proven itself over the years to be a really great engine. That being said, it is pretty pricey but used cars are cooked. Can't find a lower trim with the manual? I had an XSE and didn't find it all that better.>>29148001just spouting retard shit
>>29148273The being said, its not sporty really at all. I liked the car but ended up getting the meme corolla after 4 years of ownership. This ones interior is actually put together FAR worse though, never had so many rattles in a new car.
>>29148273>Can't find a lower trim with the manual?Where I live it's rare to find anything manual that isn't completely run through. I'd have to drive 6 hours round trip if I were to pick this XSE up. My negotiating strategy would be to offer $17,000 and try to land somewhere between $18K-$19K. OTD at asking price is $21,500, so I'll need to see an itemized list of the charges. I'll get my documents ready to make my case but I'm considering getting a mech to take a look at it too if need be.
>>29148079>implying the Honda tax isn't just as bad
>20k for 70,000 milesAnon I have one of these, it is not a good deal at all. Unfortunately this new corolla is massively overpriced in the used market, which is good for me but awful for buyers
>>29148316This market is absolutely fucked right now and I hate CVTs. As bad as you think it is, it's even worse out there.
>>29148223Yeah and the market says a brand new corolla isn’t much more than this. 20k on a used corolla with this many miles simply makes no sense.
>>29148623yeah cool but I don't want autoshit
>>29148623>>29148633 (Me)I'm going to negotiate this car to something between $17K-18K realistically so OTD is below $20K.
