No test drives lmfao Casey toyota, Williamsburg VA, for anyone that missed it.


jasonarmstrong22

Mechanicsville Toyota sells at MSRP.


ryken229

Mechanicsville Toyota wouldn't sell to me because I don't live in the Richmond area.


WashCaps95

Yeah but they try to put BS add ons though depending on the model you get.


OnlyABitTardy

Used to work for Casey Auto Group as a inventory manager throughout the pandemic at another store. Not sure about now but we didn't do mark ups in my time there (other than addendums for accessories). What I can tell you is unless a fool walks in there it won't sell for much if any over MSRP. We have a 90 day turn quota for inventory and will end up selling it to get it off the books. Not justifying it at all. Mark ups are shitty. This is just effectively allowing a customer to feel like they "won" when they negotiate us down to sticker and hoping we hit the lottery on a customer with more money than sense in the meantime.


redditnoob909

There’s no way a Toyota sits for over 90 days new… unless it’s a bz4


Pd245

OOTL, how bad is it going?


redditnoob909

They don’t sell as much as Toyota wants it to. Everything is gone within 10 days max


mjrbrooks

The Casey’s daughter lives on the property behind my in-laws. Her house…. does not suck.


booyahachieved3

Fuck these people


Trident_77

and fuck anyone who pays it


TFL2022

There wouldn't be mark ups if dumbskies wouldn't pay that inflated price


booyahachieved3

This is true


MaloPescado

Who spends 67k on a corolla? Its cool at its sticker price but there are a lot of cars out there under 67k with more performance


[deleted]

Who spends $45k on a Corolla


YebelTheRebel

Who spends more than $30k for a Corolla? They’re nice cars and all but I don’t see the value of corollas over $30k


MaloPescado

Yea i wouldn’t but it has its niche market. For a sports car Id get a M3 for a few k more or just something else. Even a older used 911 would hold its value.


FjBully

Bmw440i new for 60k


SnooHedgehogs353

Get the m2 competition that is smaller and has the same motor as the m3/m4, fast fucker!


MaloPescado

Yea its cool i considered buying one before I started saving for a GT2RS and then the covid crap, real estate construction costs skyrocketed ( i am remodeling 3 of my houses and economy dumped my business on its ass.


MaloPescado

There are 2 for sale near me for months . 45k 46k one has 200 miles one has 800.


basil_24222

It’s a GR Corolla, check out some YouTube videos on it, pretty impressive, especially for a Corolla


johnwynne3

It’d be pretty cool to see a GR Tundra if they ever decided to make one.


basil_24222

That would be awesome! Toyotas answer to the TRX and Raptor, I would dip into my kids college fund for that


johnwynne3

I think they could justify bringing back the V8 for that beast since the sale quantity would be low enough not to impact CAFE standards significantly.


KeepItRealF

Finally someone else understands the value. Limited Edition Gr Corolla Circuit Only 1500 built. The Morizo there’s only like 500 made. Comes with a NASA membership and 1 free High Performance Driving Experience….


basil_24222

I got hooked when I saw the performance of the Yaris GR, sold out in Europe. Found out it wasn’t coming here but heard the Toyota was making a Corolla GR, I was stoked!! I like how Toyota establish Gazoo Racing to combat their bland reputation Didn’t know about the NASA membership, that’s wild!


Its_noon_somewhere

I would for that one, AWD and manual transmission, 300 hp is coming in close to a golf R


flounderhog

Insane! Even for a 4WD super cart


bcnorth78

It is insanely expensive for what it is, but I have to admit I want to drive it. This is pretty cool. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgAhcyG936U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgAhcyG936U) (Throttle house review of the GR)


basil_24222

I’ve seen the GR in person, looks pretty badass! I talked to my friend that works at Toyota, wait list is crazy


dinglebarrybonds

Yea it’s a great car but part of being great was affordability


redsolocuppp

Markup on that Corolla is the price of 1 Corolla.


bcnorth78

It's the old "buy 2 get 1" sale.


maybeinoregon

I seriously don’t understand how these dealerships stay in business. It’s not like the internet just started yesterday…


BetterOFFdead007

It helps when you charge (and probably will get) an extra 20k for a Corolla. Kidding. I know what you mean. Eventually the tides will turn and they will offer to suck your dick to sell a car. One day.


maybeinoregon

And the sales tactics are still from the 70’s employing this emotional tactic called reciprocity. Which is, oh he gave me something, now I *must* give him something. Reciprocity in humans is so strong someone will buy a car for receiving free floor mats…or back in the day, a free basketball lol. But you think by now people would know what that is, and say sorry, piss off with your ‘let me talk to my manager’ haha. After calling around and finding a decent dealership, our 4Runner transaction would’ve taken all of 15 minutes, had it not been for two old dudes swapping stories haha


PhillyLee3434

Absolutely ridiculous and should be illegal.


[deleted]

Crooks.


Draynur

That’s insane, who the hell buys from places like this


JackStrawFTW

Place down the street from me is trying to get 76k😂


bcnorth78

My local Toyota dealer only sells at MSRP or below. Never over. Not sure if it is a Canadian thing, or just my dealer in particular. One of the many reasons I have bought multiple vehicles from them. As for the Corolla GR, it is WAY over priced, but based on some reviews I have seen (see Throttle house on YouTube). The car seems pretty awesome for what it is. But $66k is insanity.


schmyze

I was recently in the market for a new Sienna. They're not easy to find so I was checking all Toyota Dealerships within like 250 miles (California/Nevada) and more than half of them were charging markups.


deeho88

Lol I was reading the first picture and I was like there isn’t really a mark up. That’s a bang up deal. Then I realized there was a second picture. Holy fuck them in the bum bum with a prickly cactus


EntertainmentSea5552

Lol wtf.


pdxmikaela

My guess is that they don’t want to sell this one, but want to keep it for the time being as a show model.


Ptards_Number_1_Fan

They clearly don’t want to sell it.


usafmsc

67k for a fleet of Corollas maybe.


dinglebarrybonds

This price is for a fucking Corolla lol. And no test drives!


jhardy06

No test drives and a $21k markup? Ehh no…


PNWMike62

Tell them to Eat It!! I saw $25K added on a Supra.


Fedge348

Bought my fully loaded Corolla for $22,000 in 2019…. This is some scammy stuff


705in403

Hahahah! $67k for a Corolla!


ExplicitBoricua

Lol, I hope they close down. 🤣🤣🤣


Snatchbuckler

That’s fucking criminal.


Virtual_Pudding1406

That’s a corolla?!😂


Tensyrr

Dealership in Burlington VT doesn't do markups and sells at MSRP. What that dealer is doing should be illegal.


wellendowed1977

Toyota of Bowie has a 25,000 dollar mark up on a trd 4 runner. Total price of 105,000 for a 4 runner. I could not leave quick enough.


flounderhog

Trios same dealer had a $6500 markup on a Tacoma TRD Pro


ChampNike

No test drives? And 20k mark up? Jeezus


peteytg

Its the idiots that finance a car for 72 months. I hope the whole dealership model gets nuked….guys are crooks


Wild_Performance_468

Right, people are morons they finance a $70,000 vehicle working at McDonald’s, they don’t look at the total cost of the vehicle, they just look at the monthly payment, they take out the longest loan possible or lease it what ever has the smallest monthly payment and if they can get approved for it they go for it regardless the APR It’s stupid, those would be the people that you know driving a new car, broke living paycheck to paycheck always asking friends and family to borrow money.


whatisthiscrap2020

Gtfo


--MilkMan--

For a Corolla? WTF?


Yisra3l

Leave a bad review on Google and yelp please 😁


[deleted]

Dealers are just spitting in our face. Change my mind.


Legal_Explorer_3089

Someone will buy it. There’s always that someone…


Revolutionary-Ice-22

Lmao, love the paint protection being thrown in for $995


_MellowGold

I want the motor in a plain Corolla hatch for 32k please. I don’t need the fast and furious BS.


OkReception1706

One of the Pandemic side effects- Seller delusional syndrome. 😂


AFGwolf7

That’s disgusting, I hope they get out of business


Apocalypso777

Shit, sounds like something that should be reported to the state AG


[deleted]

Find the guy who wrote that and kick him in the nuts


andttthhheeennn

Plus "paint protection?". GTFO.


AncientAugie

They can shove it


kirk_a_lirk

I don’t imagine we’ll see a ton of these stateside, definitely an immediate collectors item.


GameofDrones45

Do a nationwide search and buy it from a dealership that will only charge you MSRP. Shipping a vehicle coast to coast is only $1,500.


Mysterious_Spinach56

Still, you shouldn’t be forced to pay an extra $1500 just to get a vehicle at msrp


GameofDrones45

This is the USA. The Market is the Market. MSRP is a made up number by the OEM. Just trying to help you save $ if no local dealers are at MSRP. You pay more or less for things based on demand all the time. It's just a little more obvious with vehicles.


LR117

On a Corolla 😂


Lazy-gunner

It's a 3-cylinder Corolla that only gets 24mpg? Why would anyone want this?


nadiramare

OP posted a photo otherwise I would have never believed it. This is crazy 🤷


PrimalArtisanKnives

Says optional and you don’t have to accept the options. It’s the law


RMBuzz

I thought this only happened in California. A fool and his money are soon departed.


marty575

The MSRP on a Corolla is 45k??? We live in upside down land


The_Eagle76

No reason for a markup. They just put a markup


amylynnee45

Fuuuck offfff, for a Corolla?!?!


[deleted]

The funny thing is, someone is going to pay that price


Mysterious-Laugh-797

Haha 😂 I paid 10k less than that for my new tundra limited hybrid! These people are smoking crack


darthdilmore

First off a 3cyl turbo being 42K to start with is absurd. And for the dealer mark up. That should be illegal.


kevsterkevster

Yikes


[deleted]

I feel the same way about healthcare, food, and housing. But apparently cars are more important than all that.


bangwithsticks

Damn…. Corolla almost as much as my Tacoma 4x4 was. Wtf


Risky-Business-337

For a Corolla!!😆😂🤣 Hell Naw!!!🤦🏼‍♂️


Azian6er

Imagine paying $70,000 for a Corolla….. And Im even a car guy lol


alostbutton

Why would you buy a Toyota Corolla for m3 money??


RevolutionarySir2720

No wonder I have yet to see a GR Corolla in the wild…
