Car Mats - Toyota Corolla Where to buy? and What to buy.

Hey guys!

I just got my first car. Now I'm looking to fit it with the inside rubber mats. I've looked at repco and supercheap auto. They seem to have the $20 - $60 range for a set of 4. However on the net, it seems to be $200! Is there something I'm missing. Is the rubber a better quality?

    I personally like the carpet ones but if you choose rubber be aware that some of them give off a terrible smell that will erase new car smell very quickly.

      Wouldn't the carpet become dirty?

        Take em out and hose em off.

          Ah okay. I'm also worried about rainy days. the water making the mat mold.

          @shadow131: No, in 25 years of driving I've never had mats go mouldy.

          @shadow131: personally, I've been buying the cheapo 4 pack mats from supercheap for around $20 for the last 10 years.

          replace them every 3 years or when selling the car. not that they really need replacing but as a "cosmetic" thing.

    If you sell the car, it might just pay for the matts.

      What do you mean?

  • jpv on 23/07/2015 - 23:10

    I've got some secondhand Toyota Corolla mats if you're interested. I'm from Melbourne. :)

    it's about $110 from dealer

    • shadow131 on 24/07/2015 - 06:24

      as in a genuine one fitting for my car model? or still a generic brand?

    take a look at kmart/target/bigw if you arent too fussed about them
    i was a bit put off by repco prices for anything that seemed half decent, when i just wanted something i could live with that would prevent the carpet in my old car from getting worn

    happened to stop in at kmart and got some alright carpet mats for maybe $12. i think they even had a set of rubbers for $6. ridiculously cheap, and under your shoes they probably all feel the same

    • shadow131 on 24/07/2015 - 06:24

      Never occurred to me Kmart might have them! Thanks! Ill check it out!

  • spackbace on 24/07/2015 - 10:18

    Is the car brand new?

    • shadow131 on 24/07/2015 - 10:46

      Second hand. But I still want to keep it clean.

      • spackbace on 24/07/2015 - 10:54

        What year? Just seeing if genuine would be an option :)
