Yes i know it is the runout model, but for a brand new automatic japanese built car for under 20k it seemed like a pretty damn good price hence the reason for putting up here for anyone that was in the market. We visited the dealership today and the sales guy mentioned they have only white and silver left in stock so we picked up a white one as im over silver.. my mechanic mentioned this model is pretty much bulletproof so we bit the bullet and made a decision as used ones were similar priced, so see ya later to our old nissan and hello to the good old vanilla toyota :)

we also tried the 4c/l discount that was posted last month and it worked

          @lostn: yeah, i got my licence in nsw and was constantly scaring my wife when she practiced for the test, and the way I saw her drive around I was thinking she gonna fail at least one. To my surprise she passed without a hiccup, turned out she only had to to the three point turn and not the parallel.

          @lostn: lol in qld i was made to do every one, then on way back to moto reg a (profanity) indicated to go left then when i picked my gap turned right leaving me stuck in the oncoming traffic… Instant fail.

          Second time i was made to do every single one again, got told most people wish they could para park like me rofl, its the same thing as used to work a forklift on bigger scale.

          You're kidding?! No wonder people can't park for crap these days and have no idea how far away they are from other cars with a slack VIC driving test like that! They should make everyone do a parallel park like they used to. My driving instructor had me do it most lessons between with poles once I learnt the basics of driving.

          And when we got back I had to 90 degrees park at the RTA parking 😒😒

          I guess now I know why most of my friends avoid that RTA lol

    You can't go wrong with this deal, plus+ from me.

    But personally I would find it hard to spend $20,000 now and forever be driving around in the old model, when in a few months time you could get the new model with low k's (demo or secondhand) for the same price. Consider also that the engine and transmission are all new in the latest model and Toyota don't do major updates to the Corolla range very often.

    • smuggler on 15/09/2018 - 21:16

      Actually, the new corolla is like $5000 more expensive.

      I've seen two around Sydney in the last month.

      • tranter on 15/09/2018 - 21:19

        I just realised this is the Ascent model, not the Sport.

        Corolla Sport hatch are usually $24k drive away. Ascent hatch not sure, about $22-23k?

        Talking about the old model of course.

        • smuggler on 15/09/2018 - 21:22

          All new Toyotas coming out will be like 15-25% more expensive than their past model.

          @smuggler:
          @superforever:

          The old Corolla Ascent Sport hatch also has a listed drive away RRP of around $27,000.

          But for years it has been on "sale" for $24,000.

          I can nearly guarantee it will be a similar story with the new model. The Corolla is a small car and there's a lot of decent competition in the class. They won't sell many for $28,000.

          The same can be said for the sedan version. I bought a brand new one 2.5 years ago that was on "sale" for $24,000. The listed RRP on the invoice before discount was around $27,000. I bargained hard and got it for $22,000 drive away. Probably could have also got a good size discount on the hatch if that was what I was buying.

        • daydream on 17/09/2018 - 02:04

          @tranter:

          New model looks good and has good safety tech but has a tiny hatch area (forget it if you have kids), rear seats are tight, antiquated phone interface/tech (no carplay/android auto/mirroring), no parking sensors on any model, space saver tyre doesn't save any space and if you get a hybid/top spec you get a puncture repair kit which apart from only working with some tyre problems will cost you a new repair kit and new tyre each time.

          Once people get past the marketing and think real world use may change on the new model and affect sales.

        • tranter on 17/09/2018 - 15:56

          @daydream:

          Corolla hatches have had small boot space for a while now. That's one reason I bought the sedan although I prefer them anyway. They have big boot space for a small sedan and more leg room in the back compared to the hatch.

      • Nalar on 15/09/2018 - 23:17

        How do they look? the promo pics make them look a little more exciting then last model, but in the flesh is a different story.

        • smuggler on 16/09/2018 - 15:33

          They look great. Typical Japanese hatch that looks very similar to a Lexus Hatch. Lots of aggressive edges and body kit features.

      • tezza on 16/09/2018 - 15:31

        The new one has no base model too, so you need to buy the Ascent Sport for $24-$25k

        • smuggler on 16/09/2018 - 15:32

          I thought it was $28k.

        • tranter on 16/09/2018 - 19:51

          @smuggler:

          Yes, that's the "RRP" if you can call it that. The previous model Ascent Sport has a similar RRP but nobody buys it at that price. It has basically been on permanent sale for years at $24,000 drive away. See my comment above.

    • zappy32 on 16/09/2018 - 03:29

      You also have to take in to consideration the new engine and transmission might have teething problems. I'd rather get a model in production for a couple of years if you're considering value. Spare parts may be harder to find in 10 years time though. We might have aluminium printers by then though.

    My dad bought this car when it was all new model, for $22,900 (with pearlescent paint, carpet mats and full tank). That would have been 5 years ago. His was Ascent Sport, not sure what this one is. Might just be Ascent.

    I don't think it's that great a price for an Ascent. Ascent Sport is normally $1000 extra, and it's well worth the upgrade.

    It's a reliable car though. The interior didn't feel very upmarket, but the dash does have soft touch plastics. The built in clock was a bit old fashioned.

    I just looked up the pricing on the all new Corolla and wow.. they are expensive. They're more expensive than comparable Golfs.

        We've had a number of Toyotas in the family, and no one has ever made a warranty claim or needed to out of warranty. Anything that needed changing is wear and tear parts. That says a lot.

        But like you said, they're not the kind of car you would enjoy driving if you're a car enthusiast.

    • sillycattle on 16/09/2018 - 14:12

      It's because they've dropped the cheapest models. Every model has active safety in the new series. Every one. I think this is great as it will force the competition to do the same.

      I'm actually keen to see where the pricing ends up after a while on the new model.

      • lostn on 16/09/2018 - 18:16

        What normally happens in new gen models is, the features that were in premium models get moved to base models for base model prices. That's how prices have kept from spiralling all this time. A base car hasn't shifted beyond the $23k range since way back when, despite being more packed with features than older gen cars. Over time things get cheaper to make, but instead of reducing price, they keep the price the same but include more technology for the price.

        If Toyota continued the pattern they've taken, their prices would continue going up with every gen until they become BMW prices for a Corolla.

    Mazda3 neo sport can be had for not much more,advertised price $23000 DA for auto,I'm sure you can negotiate a better deal being run out model as well.
    way better specced than corolla accent.
    it has mag wheels!
    premium paint as standard except 2 colors
    proximity key/starter button(only corolla ZR and hybrid has it,not even SX)
    crash avoidance braking(low speed)
    pedestrian avoidance braking
    rear parking sensor(as well as rear camera)
    more power and torque with lower claimed fuel economy
    no CVT
    5 year manufacture warranty

    personally I think Mazda informative system is better too,has internet connectivity via bluetooth for internet radio,screen at eye level,control at armrest level.

    For the same price you can probably get a Holden Astra 1.4 turbo made in Germany…but Holden will probably go the way of the Do Do in 5-10 years, so risk to owning an orphaned brand car.

      The resale value on the Astra is likely to be abysmal, only rivaled by the resale on a new Commodore.

      Holden is so desperate for sales they're pulling out all the tricks.

      December 2017:

      https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/motoring/car-a…

      "To hit Holden’s ambitious annual sales target — dubbed “fast finish” — dealers were required to report cars as sold, even if they didn’t have a customer name on them"

      "Dealers estimate there are more than 1000 Astra hatches in showrooms that have been declared as sold but are unregistered and undelivered"

      Or how about the $500 cash offer if you test drove a Holden but ended up buying another brand's car?

        Paid the same price in 1992 for N14 Pulsar. Still have it and it drives well for next to nothing and has more space/flexibility than all in the current class and I don't care if it gets dented by someone who can't park!

        Corolla station wagon was my first car. Shame they don't sell a wagon edition now.

    What is the cheapest and most economical car both with and without the extra special features (reverse cam, automatic parking, inbuilt gps, anything else anyone can think of that would make driving more easier? basically as "childproof" as much as possible.. yeah that was a bad choice of words)

    Wondering if the price gap between a car for a single driver and maybe occasional large batch of groceries versus a huge people mover is worth it.

    FYI there are much cheaper used Toyota Corolla’s which still have factory warranty, such as, https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Corolla-2… also heaps in VIC for some reason.

    Would strongly advise looking at lightly used, near new Toyota’s, rather than this run out deal. Let someone else take the depreciation hit.

      This one excludes government charges

    Use some of the money you save from eating ham & cheese sandwiches everyday to buy this.

    FYI there has been a recall in the US for possible CVT failure https://www.toyoheadquarters.com/threads/2014-2017-toyota-co…

    Just commenting to say I had the 2012 CVT (model before this one) and loved it. My brother now owns it and is very happy still. Also the guys at Lander Toyota are great, especially in the service department. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy :)
