    Bwahahahahahahahahahaha, Corolla and upgrades in the same sentence. By upgrades you can only be referring to a furry steering wheel cover, a decal on the rear window that looks like lips, a Justin Beiber CD, and a phone mount.

    Believe it or not, you can buy TRD add ons. They have an exhaust, sway bar, and Springs.

    Because dealers will sell any car with mark-ups. Even one of the lowest trim vehicles.

    Whoever buys that should maybe just buy a camero. Same message, equally useful off road, and better gas mileage.

    Okay, a bit of hyperbole but not much.

    Head over to Corolla World and spec out some sweet upgrades. Just watch this dude named Smitty, he's really pissed off about his Corolla.

    I got a loan at 24% once. It was an unsecured cash loan so I could buy a used car. It was a bad, bad idea. I made up for it by paying it off within a few months.
    Fast forward 2 years and I got my BRZ at 2.9%

    20" tires you say...lol You know it's legit when the dealer doesn't know how tire sizes work.

    I like that "DIAMOND Fusion" windshield coating for $799...for a little more they could have ceramic coated the entire truck and upcharged some more

    Holy shit i used to love to sell diamond fusion as a sales dude! My douchebag recon dude used to cry about the acid eating through his gloves and his hands so id try to upsell it to everyone. Came with a sweet demo baby food jar of mud too.

    Sidenote: you know how difficult it is to sell a product that makes glass clearer? Idk about you guys but a new cars windshield is pretty freaking clear. But a lil motivation and a sweet desk demo and i sold the shit out of that shit.

    Diamond fusion just sounds cool, I'd pay double just to tell all my bros about it.
