Let me know where in the Pacific Northwest. The lowest I've seen is $28K for a leftover '18 SE DSG before negotiating but including incentives. Not MSRP but not $22K either.

Anyway, a friend bought a new '18 Autobahn and had to replace the driver's power window mechanism that stuck open in the first month and the steering rack during the second month. This is the third month and it's been in the shop longer than he's owned it awaiting parts. He applied for Lemon Law status but he may just have bad luck.

There's something to be said for the reliability of a vehicle designed and built by Toyota although it's early to say how well the '19+ Corolla will fare.
