It’s a tale as old as time. A dealer wants to sell a car, but not bad enough to sell it for what the manufacturer says it’s worth. Instead, they use various sales tactics to get customers interested before showing them the real cost. In this story, an alleged dealer employee says that the desirable Toyota GR Corolla is available for under MSRP. The dealer itself wants over $52k before tax, for a car with an MSRP of $39,538.
The dealer in question here is Camelback Toyota of Phoenix, Arizona. On the dealer’s site, they appear to have four examples of the GR Corolla when we first looked into this story a few weeks ago. In a public post from Hector O., supposedly a salesman there, he says that they’re offering “$1k off MSRP on our 2 GR Corollas,” so it might be that they only have two at this stage. That itself would be newsworthy since so many dealers have gouged customers over this very car.
