Minnesota Toyota Car Dealers

Did you take a look at the Manufacturing date of your car? It is located at the driver side front door step. I notice that Toyota still has a lot of 2010 Corolla made before March 2010 in the dealer lots. These cars are recalled and fixed at dealers and thus some dealers may give deep discounts to these cars.

No reply from txgirl about the name of the dealer.????

The other day I drove my new Corolla home and noticed that the engine ran over 3000 RPM at 60 MPH on highway. It turned out that I accidentally put the new car in the 3rd gear because the shift position 3 and D are in the same slot, a slight move to the left will move the gear to 3 rather than D. Thinking that 3 and D are the same gear, I kept driving on for the rest of the trip. At home I had read the manual over and discovered that the D gear is what I should have. This is a bad design from Toyota engineers for Corolla because new Corolla owners and Corolla car rental drivers may accidentally drive at 3rd year for their first trip. Toyota should have create a separate slot for D gear like P N and R rather than have the 3 and D in the same gear slot. If Toyota wants to save money on gear shift positions it should combine 3 and 2 in the same slot rather than having 3 and D in the same slot.

Wow, this is $2,000 below what I paid in Minnesota. People who look for a corolla in Minnesota should take a vacation in Houston then get the car there and drive it home. For 1,000 miles driving from Houston to MN, the car will use about 300 gallons of gasoline or about $750. Just wonder why there is such a big difference in price?

It turned out that the desert sand color that I was looking for is not available and thus the dealer sold me a red wine color for $15,500. It was made in Japan with Bridgestone tires. The only thing I don't like about corrolla is the donut spare tire. I thought the donut spare tire disapeared.
