Menlove Toyota

If anyone is looking for a car in the Northern Utah area, I would recommend Menlove Toyota in Bountiful, and do your research beforehand on the internet. Our fear with going to a dealer was having to deal with a salesman that would try and get the most money that he could out of us. Most dealers now have internet salesmen that make their money off of selling high volumes of cars, whereas the regular salesmen make their money off of the individual sales. Both the internet salesmen that we dealt with gave us upfront out-the-door pricing for the cars we were looking at and they both told us that they assume that internet shoppers have already done their research on the cars so they usually start well below the MSRP for internet shoppers. The reason we chose Menlove Toyota over Mark Miller was because their final price was over $1000 less for essentially the same car - and there were no last minute changes or surprises in which they tried to bleed us for more money.
Our overall experience with this car purchase was a very positive one and we still can't believe that we got the deal that we did.

Doesn't the "S" mean it's a Sport trim? Anyway it's a pretty sweet looking car! Let me know when you're ready to send it the way of the Contour ;)

Yes - but it was the cheapest model that had the manual transmission and the powder windows and locks. We're hoping to keep it for 10 years at least so if you're still interested then I'll give you a call! :)

I find it interesting that you guys got a car to replace Heath's ford escort, while at the same time we're looking into replacing my Tracer.
So I'm guessing that's a corolla?
Brand new or gently used?
