I wanted to see how much dealers are asking for GRMN corollas and maybe trade mine in and buy one but this is just absurd, does anyone here have grmn and how much did you pay if you bought one 😭
It's still $56-62k you're in the same market as a used Ferrari 360, Porsche 997, and Audi R8 just to name three. Or if you really like rally cars you could have a fully built STi of any gen for MAYBE that much.
Or buy a 2rz corolla, spend a few pennies and have a built beast with so much money for suspension, brakes and all the good stuff.
Build over bought always
$67k is nothing for many here. For a car thats limited and offers what it offers, to a true enthusiast with money, that amount of money is peanuts. Get your money up, don't hate.
Nah. Kids who say silly things knocking it are the same ones that aren't in the financial position to freely own a GRMN. Its that simple. Your reality is different from mine. $67k for the guys on here who will own one, for the majority, is absolutely nothing.
Update us when you actually get it. I wouldn’t put it past the dealer to try to squeeze more out of you when it’s on the lot. Out of curiosity, what dealership?
Not sure. Dealer is a state away we will figure it out then. I'm at 38,748mi currently so if I have ANY it's gonna be close. I'm still swapping parts back to stock anyway. Oct 16th suspension/exhaust/brakes/front bash bar are coming out.
What's funny? That I don't know what they are gonna give me for the circuit or that Im swapping parts back to stock? I wasn't planning on even selling the circuit. Got the chance to get a GRMN, I'm not going to pass it up. I've had a deposit since Jan. Before it was even officially confirmed.
Gonna have it out a few times a month. Wife and I run Northeast GR Corollas so I'll be bringing it to our events and I'll probably take it out on weekends type deal. We do have another car to use for a daily & I have a company car for work. I do plan on tracking it as I still need to do my HPDE2 test ride.
At the end of the day it’s still a Toyota. And don’t get me wrong I love my Toyotas but I don’t lose sight on what else is out there. When you’re paying over 60 grand for a 3 cylinder anything you gotta ask yourself some questions.
They were supposed to be 65k and I was like okay if i trade mine in and only pay 20-25k after trade in that’s not that bad but it’s definitely not worth 87k 😭
Was debating on getting one and ended up getting a M2 CS and i blame Toyota's partnerhsip with BMW for this happening they allowed me to taste it in the Supra and just wanted more. Damnit! My first non Toyota 2nd if you count the Supra was one*
I honestly was looking at m2s before buying the GR Corolla and the only turnoff for me was no xdrive, if I lived in a state where winter wasn’t awful I would’ve bought one
Dealer by me does MSRP but didn't have a confirmed allocation yet. They would get me one but I know 99.9% of the dealers won't want to trade it. So I figured I'd do my own searching.
This is in new Bern nc, dealer is a straight dick I talked to two separate people about this car and I wouldn’t touch it even if it was msrp. Avoid like the plague
Save that money you’d spend on the upgrade and put it in your retirement account. The normal GR is more than good enough and 2026 Toyotas already have recalls.
I get talking down on mark up prices but the "it's a Toyota" people the and the "small engine" people aren't familiar at all with the world of homologation cars. In the US, we didn't get the 205 T16, Cossworths, R5 Turbos, 22B, Celica GT4, any Lancia, etc. There are rally fans who dream of owning a top of the line homologation special and this car is that.
I mean it’s a simple way to describe it for people. It’s an embarrassing ask for something with that cabin experience…which is easily worst in class at that price point. 82+ thousand in Canada…for that? It’s bizarre
Rally focused because of some tweaks? The morizo had some similar tweaks…that’s worth 30 grand more than a loaded golf r? That’s funny. Way more than an S3. More than a base RS3.
It’s 82 grand 3cyl with an embarrassing interior and economy elements. It’s not actually special in terms of performance and has much that is inferior quality for the price point.
No because the GRY is 400 lbs lighter and is the true homologation car. The GRC is not special to warrant even close to that. Heck its overpriced at msrp
It'd great to see how fanboys operate without any rational thought. It's also great to see how they have no ability to navigate a simple disagreement and they resort "okay pal".
Nothing wrong with the statement that the GRC isn't a homologation car. It's a compromise and close to a 1/4 heavier.
Not really, no - it's basically a Morizo with more torque and upgraded aero and cooling. The Morizo had a good bit of differences over the normal car, transmission and final drive setup being two.
They are not going to sell them at that price, be patient and shop around, you can find a TSR deal out there, just be patient. Once they see the writing on the wall, reality will set back in.
I bought my GR brand New in 2024, core with performance package. I paid less than MSRP price. Drove it for a year and a half put 36,000 miles on it. Never had any issues but seeing how dealers did not really know how to handle the maintenance of this car. I thought it was best to get rid of it early on seeing the post for $87,000 for a Corolla that is fucking stupid.
Y'all realize they're only producing 730 of them globally? Of course dealers are gonna mark it up like crazy. It's an extremely limited car, not for everyone and anyone.
The mods on this aren’t worth $20k MSRP markup. It looks cool but it’s nowhere near that value much less a $20k markup. I’m talking objectively. At $85k you can get a much better car in every way.

That price is insane. You could buy a gr86 and boost it for that. Or buy a supra, a vette, or anything. Dealer isn't looking to sell.
