Should I trade in for another Corolla or something else?

[RussianBadBoyLB]

My lease will expire July 2011, and I was given the option of getting into another lease. I figured I might as well do this soon before my steering wheel clicking becomes worse. Should I get another corolla? Camry? or just take the car to Honda and get a Civic? Perhaps I can finance a used Toyota; maybe a Tacoma. If I finance to keep, I am gonna have to baby the car so that it lasts me long. I would not however finance a brand new one, just because of the value loss, I was thinking of 3 years old, not any newer.

Ohh and BTW the reason I don't want to buy my Corolla which I am currently leasing, is because its a Piece of $hit. I just think I got one of those poorly made corolla's has given me problems since day 1.

May I ask you why? I am just curious cause I never even looked into Suzuki, except for motorcyclist. How do their cars hold value? Do they have a good lease program, are the cars reliable? Those are all the things I personally look into before looks or performance. If I did not care about looks at all I would of got the two door yaris, but I would just be ashamed of driving it.

NVM Looked at the link, I am starting to like it as well. I just need to do more research and see if its worth it. It all sounds great, but will not make sense if the value drops as fast as a two stone rock in 12m pool.

if you want any car w/ a good lease program go at the day b4 the months end at any dealership

usually a trick to good leasing would be to bullshyt your way out of it w/ the sales reps..get out that smart phone or bring your laptop and google deals. they will get shocked and if they really want your business they will follow it

i recommend you get into the camry but the suzuki line up is crazii..they are pretty sweet..if you are leasing idk why you worried about the resale value though worry about bullshyting the reps and let them fall for it lol

Good looking car, I would be concerned about long term value of a Suzuki at this point, unless you lease of course.

Since you are leasing, you walk away from all of it once you are done. There are other cars out there, so I would suggest researching other cars in your price range before you settle on another Toyota. The current Camry (MY2011) should be on its last year before a new model change, and so far no one has seen the 2011 Corolla, whether it got the facelift like the Altis or not.

Привет всем из России! Почитал форум, похоже и у вас Королла не всех устраивает. Тоже есть проблемы. В России самая большая проблема у Короллы это - коробка передач Multimode! Автомобиль экономичен, но но очень часто меняем узлы в Multimode, хорошо что по гарантии. Ещё раз хочу пожелать всем удачи на дорогах!!!

Translation:

Regards with all of Russia! Forum read a little, similarly and in you [Korolla] not all arranges. Also there are problems. In Russia the largest problem in [Korolly] this is - the gearbox Of multimode! Automobile is economical, but but we very frequently change units into Multimode, it is good that on the guarantee. Again I want to wish to all of success on the roads!!!

I would hold off until the FT-86 is released, hopefully a final production version will be revealed before your lease expires.

I wouldn't want to get anything in Toyota's current lineup.

My cousin just bought a new 2011 Sienna to replace an old cargo van... he says it handles like a boat LOL

Toyota used car values have dropped more than traditional because all of the bad PR Toyota has gotten lately. For example my 09 Corrola LE is worth at least $1000 less than my wife's 2008 Mazda 3 i Touring and they were both bought in 08 for about the same price - and the Mazda is a model year older.

This means used Toyotas are something of a good deal right now until the bad PR goes away. I would look at the blue book values for the cars you are considering and see if holds true for other Toyota models. That is unless you don't believe Toyota is doing its best to make things right with it's customers.
