Replying to: lee_w (May 13, 2004 6:53 am) So I'm eyeing an 04 xA with 58k miles, manual trans., and the 6-disc CD changer. It's also certified.   The dealership is asking for 9,997. I think I can get it down to about 9k. Is it me, or does this deal almost seem too good to be true? Replies to this message: jfritsch (Sep 26, 2006 3:26 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 27, 2006 7:05 am)

Replying to: elwoodh (Sep 26, 2006 1:53 pm) Isn't a new 06 with 0 mi with full 3/36 and 6/60 warranty 13600? I don't think $10000 is to good to be true.   Given that many would pay $1500 for just the warranty alone maybe you should try to scrape up some more change for a new one. Especially if the used market is that inelastic.   --jjf

Replying to: elwoodh (Sep 26, 2006 1:53 pm) Doesn't sound like that good a deal. You can buy a used 2005/2006 for maybe $11,500 with 10,000 miles on it + a warranty, so do the math.

They went down to 9100k and I walked away. We'll see if they contact me again. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 28, 2006 8:46 am)

Replying to: elwoodh (Sep 28, 2006 3:31 am) If they let you out the door, and didn't contact you same day or next, they probably won't go lower.   Good move, taking a walk. No one can negotiate who is not prepared to leave the table.

Replying to: lee_w (May 13, 2004 6:53 am) I test drove a 2006 Scion xA 3dr Hatchback Automatic today. I liked the way it handled though I felt the inside was a bit cheap feeling. Th sticker price for the 2006 included dealer add on package of cargo mat etc bringing the cost of the car to $14,865 I believe. I asked to see the dealer invoice and got a very rude response as the following "You got a dealer license? Its law you dont see the the invoice I mean cmon." I told him to take a hike and left the dealership simply for his poor manners. Is it usual for dealership to refuse to show the invoice??

Replying to: fitrn (Mar 24, 2007 5:07 pm) That is rather unusual nowadays. Most of the SCION dealers try to stay at sticker in any case. If the 2007's are out you may want to look at those. For most makes invoice and MSRP are rather artificial anyway.   Try to get 4-5 bids at the end of the month on your car and see if they will go below. This may be easier if you have a trade and one will work you a better deal. Not sure if its SCION rules (like saturn no haggle prices)or an informal arrangement with other dealers but if cars need to move prices will have to drop. If they are selling you will have to buy at their price.   --jjf   I test drove a 2006 Scion xA 3dr Hatchback Automatic today.
