It seems overpriced, very overpriced. They can be great cars but even here in California with the highest prices it costs like 7-8k not 11k.

• Mileage: 81,188 It isn't low enough to justify the price difference in my opinion

Even the infalted KBB value is $7500-$9500 so if you are sold on the vehicle 1. have a mechanic check it out shoot for below 8k. Using KBB, I'd stick to the trade in value which is $6500-$7500 (and honestly even that seems inflated).

Just to be clear the car itself is great I saw one at a dealer a couple years back and it was pretty nice especially in the S trim.

Both are excellent cars if the mechanic gives you ok. Despite all the benefits you can get with buying a brand new one, it has a disadvantage : Depreciation. So, you better off buying a car which is couple of years old but well taken care off. Also, if you can drive manual, compared to automatic ones, they can get better gas milage and in the case of Toyota, they are very dependable and pretty much indestructible. The repair cost for them is much cheaper than automatic ones and you can have more fun with the car too. 

There’s also less technology on the older Corolla which in one sense is better as less things to break.

Great choice with a manual.  Should be about $9K.  For a ten year old car, are you sure it's 22,000 and not 122,000 miles?

Honda is just as reliable as toyota..and you may be able to get a better deal on a used one...
