I would buy used if you could, you'd be more likely to find the combination of trim you want. The shark antenna is like, 20 bucks on ebay and takes all of 20 seconds install.

Disregard the dealer installing the power windows and locks, it wont happen.
They will blow smoke up your ass just to sell you a used car. As I mentioned above, Make the deal on a new car. It will cost you the same as that used one. Im serious on the $15840 out the door for a new L. Ill send you a copy of the contract. Then wait a little while you save up, buy the kits I showed you, and find a shop that installs accessories/stereos etc to install them for a couple of hundred $. (Total $400) Buying a new Toyota gets you no hassle warranty, 2 years of free maintenance, free towing under warranty. The oil changes are worth $200 in itself. It makes NO financial sense to buy a used 2012 for 14K + tax, and all the BS paperwork fees.

Are you looking at the white 4 door, at SF Toyota for 14K with 6K miles?
The Carfax shows it as a corporate fleet, sold at auction. I wouldnt touch it!!

I agree. One of the few used cars I've owned (bought as an extra car -- very hard to find and always wanted one) had been a corporate fleet car. Don't do it!

At the time, there were only 3 of them in California so I just threw the money at them, drove it away, and counted myself lucky to get one at all. |

I have AC too. Even a factory tach, which surprised me!! I spent 3 months on and off trying to find a 5MT, the factory would trickle them in. In the end, I called Toyota Corporate, here in LA, and asked what dealers had 3dr L with 5MT, they thought it was too much to ask, so I demanded a stock inventory of every dealer in SoCal, or I would buy my 3rd Nissan product in 2 years!!! They were shocked, but complied. It was easier to negotiate on a 5MT than an AT, I bought this one over the phone. Many dealers insulted me over emails, and phone. I stopped negotiating in person 12 years ago. Lastly, I took a picture of the car in front of the South Bay Toyota sign, and emailed all their respective general managers cc'ing the conversation I had with their salespersons.

"I really need a car" to a used car salesperson, is like blood to a shark..
If you really needed a car, then you would pick up a used 2008 for a couple $Ks. Anyway, my advice has been voiced, do what you can live with.
