Celica Forums General Discussion General What discounts/perks did you get when purchasing your Celica?

Just curious to what deals people have gotten for their car.

I got mine for just over 20,000. GT with no sunroof, everything else though. I'm Military, so I didn't have to pay tax either.

i got mine 2k below msrp. msrp was about 19k+

though my car has no power anything , buttrading it for a GTS will be worth it.

Free Window tint.

got free maintanane long as i own the car and they threw in the 100,000 mile extended warrenty.

1st free oil change

Custom alarm window etching wooo hooo which later i found totally uselesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

my car was on sale because of the labor day,i got the car 2k lower then the sale price from what i remembered! And it has power everything, but I had to pay to get an aftermarket alarm! everything else was A-ok! came with leather seats too and they were LIKE NEW!!!

I got a free refills on water and a donut ... O yea i also got a free picture that they take when i purchased it! YAY! That was the greatest deal i got in my whole life for $17000 lol I love the car very much though!

I just ordered my 2005 GTS Tsunami today!
And they gave me $500 off, the complete protection package, and all season mats...not too bad.

I'm so happy, but now i'll just have to wait.

I work for John Elway Honda here in Colorado, so I bought a celica from John Elway Toyota. I just bought a 2005 GTS that just left the factory fully loaded. I got it for $24,000.

i bought mine for 7000 grand, 57,000 miles, theft recovery. only had to invest 500 bucks to get it back to mint condition.

I paid about 3.5-4k less on a used 01 Celica THAT WAS CLEAN, because the lady said she had to sell it no matter what because she had a total of four insured cars, and she just had a child. Baby seats don't fit well.

free "detailing" (all they did was give it a quick wash)

but I got it $1,900 under asking, and more than $3,000 under KBB.

I got a couple balloons ..

red and white then gave it to the neighbor kids

My car was in the show room and it had a Ribbon on it..they wouldn't even give us the HUGE ribbon that was magnetically on the car.. we would have to shell out an additional $50 for the huge ribbon..

bought it new with most options but action pack, alarm, & HIDs for 24...

Got mine $2.7K under KBB. And heynow - I got a great tee shirt (rag box) and a great key ring (circular file)!!

Nothing.
I bought my used 2000 GTS for 16k and they wouldn't bargain at all. The only thing I got "free" was the vin etch but thats done on the car before its even sold so I just wouldn't let them charge me for it.
I guess they did give it a free detailing but they did a poor job with the wax. I had white crud in all the joins in the car.
Didn't bother me because I got it certified and in sweet condition for a good price. People ask me if its new and I have to tell them its 4 years old already.

I got my '04 GTS new in July, with action package, for 21.5K.

I got my 02' Black GTS Action Package 6-speed w/ 39k miles from Hyundai dealership on Broadway in Colorado. I went through the shop I used to detail for and they gave it to me for wholesale and I got a discount card on my interest rate too. It came down to $16,900 from $19,000 and my interest rate went from a like 7 something to a 6.9%. My new credit brought my rate up from a 4.0% that my granny would have gotten to a 6.9%. I am 19. I also dropped 2000 dollars into the blown motor that I got with the car after all was said and done. Ran for 3 weeks and died. The person before me ran it out of oil and I was so excited to finally find the black trd gts 6-speed that I bought it without doing a compression check. I am now into it just over 3k now in motor work and parts that I rebuilt myself.

My car was on the lot for $15,500, we talked them down to $13,000 and new wiper blades, 3 free oil changes, free exterior and interior detail, and free car washes for 1 year. We also got them to give me $5,000 trade on my Neon which was really worth like $3,500.

bought my 2000 GTS 6-speed with 57k for 11425 this past summer...extras were extra factory rim, TRD exhaust, free inspection, oil change, new serpentine belt

I would never let a dealer touch my car with a wash rag or any sort of wax

around $2,500 under MSRP, free wax that night and car washes for a month, if i had any scratch on the car that same month theyd cover it for free, and the toyota alarm was free as well.

Talked them into selling it for fleet price... paid $23k for a new auto GTS with action package and all the options.

My '04 GTS didn't even come with floormats!

But they gave me a quick wash and a full tank of gas


Sticker was 24,500 or so, ended up paying closer to 30,000 with all the extra insurances, alarm (which was incorrectly installed and I need to rewire it one of these days), and all that junk

That's why I'm so apt to take it in for warranty work - it was expensive!

jsut at $19,500...with the rear wiper, no sunroof, power everything and alarm...not gonna tell you about the process tho...I actually got a guy fired on the spot for what I went through

I got mine for 8,000 it only had 38,000 miles , guy said it needed some engine work maybe a new clutch so I changed the clutch to a ACT stage 2 that didnt work it still was having issues I changed the PCV valve cleaned the MAT sensor and now it's running like champ!

3 years free service, floor mats that weren't included (i had to go back for them and argue why it's gay that they dont' come with the car), and i got free hamburgers and a soda

You got raped.

bought mine for 8,000 2000 gt only 31000 miles! Bought it from my stepdad's lot. He told me to get a 4 banger and use it as a daily driver because it would save me $$$ my other ride is a beefed up V8 Ford Thunderbird with Hooker Headers, Flowmaster Exhaust, custom intake and a whole bunch of other stuff. Full tank would only last me 4 days tho' the Celi's full tank last's me 10 days big difference!
