Hey everyone, I've been trying to make a deal with a Toyota dealership on a 2004 Corolla with the "C" package. Here are the specifics:

-about 37,000KMS
-Auto Transmission
-Air Conditioning
-AM-FM Stereo
-Compact Disc
-Power Windows
-Power Locks
-Bucket Seats
-Cruise Control
-Tilt Wheel
-Drivers Air Bag
-Passenger Air Bag
-Anti-Theft
-Keyless Entry
-Power Mirrors
-NO rust proofing

Anyway, the listed price was about $17,500, but after haggling, got him to drop it to about $15,000. I don't think that's the end, but what would be a realistic price to buy this thing at? What would the dealer be making on a car like this (in profit)? Has anybody had bad experiences with this car? Some quick info would be appreciated. I want to run this car into the ground too, so rustproofing would be necessary to get done ASAP (or should I walk away because there is no rustproofing done)?

Secondly, if somebody with the ability to check VIN numbers could please PM me to get the VIN that would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
