I am considering buying a 2005 Corolla CE. According to the 2005 Corolla brochure, and according to every printed and online resource I've checked, antilock brakes and side airbags are available options on the Corolla CE. According to a sales manager at my local Toyota dealership, Toyota has not manufactured Corolla CEs with antilock brakes or side airbags for a year. (All sources agree that these options are available on the more expensive Corolla LE). I reside in the greater New York region.
I also tried the "build your own" option on the Toyota web site. It doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. It only provided one option to select from rather than the dozens that are actually available.
Is the sales manager correct? If so, why are all the other sources wrong?
