i just picked up my corolla today. i had to call my insurance agent from the from the salesman's phone (left cell at home today). what do i see on his desk? a spread sheet showing, among other things, $500 cash back on 09 corolla's starting october 1. i wonder if he would have mentioned anything to me if i hadnt brought this to his attention. there were also special financing rates for oct.1-nov.1. this was a Mishawaka, IN dealer (northern IN) so im not sure this applies in all regions. i was supposed to pick up the car and sign papers yesterday, but it was a dealer trade and it got to the dealer too late. $500 worth of luck for me.
