I moved these posts to a new discussion, since we're focused on pricing in this one.

xBox by scionxbboi3

I picked up my xB two days ago, gotta say I didnt have a single prob with pricing, delivery, or anything else. I paid $15,808 for my Box which has, all the standard equip + 5 spd, floor and cargo mats, spoiler, graphics, 6 disc c/d, and center armrest. I am also getting an $84.00 check cut back to me because I got rid of the security system and opted for the 6 disc and armrest. I live in Upstate NY picked it up from Empire Toy/Sci Oneonta. A great Dealer, gotta say most people hate dealerships but I can honestly say that this one does right by its customers.

All I can say is you got a very good deal.
I will pickup mine tomorrow. Out the door price is 17,000 XB automatics with cargo cover and rear bumper applique. Location is 98058. Since there is no haggling on this price so this is the lowest I can do. 9% tax, 35 doc, and 100+ licensing.
 
Let me know if this can be better.

Crazy Florida doc fees--any way out? by erc1

I am in the market for an xB, but all the dealers here have a $500 doc fee. This seems excessive considering the destination is more than Honda or Mazda and the fixed pricing. Is there any way to get out of it? It looks like you can get a carsdirect quote w/o this fee, but there are no participating dealers in my area.

That fee is not excessive as a total fee, given the short supply of xBs. The 3 dealers in Louisville have total fees of $400, $500 and $950. I went with the dealer who had the $500 fees. They are just a market value adjustment.

Canuk--Don't worry about the snow!! Go get yourself some dedicated snow tires and you'll be fine. I put a set of Blizzak snow's on my 05 XB last year that were on sale and it went thru the snow like a champ. The only issue I had all winter was that I "plowed" thru a wedge of snow at 40 mph that a snowplow left in the middle of the highway that was about 15 inches high and several feet thick. It cracked the bottom air dam and knocked out the honeycomb inserts. I got it repaired in 2 weeks but will be more careful when driving on the highway in a snow storm. So don't worry about geting stuck--with the snows you'll have excellent traction.

Is anyone paying near the $15350 price for the base Xb with mats and auto. Numerous dealers here in cincinnati have close to this ($100 -$150 fees with title. I think one had $50 fees) one had $400 fees. Folks within 100 mi should consider trying the 7-10 Cincinnati and dayton dealers. It may be worth 200mi round trip to save $400+
 
Doesn't the scion business model generally focus on factory orders with just a little inventory sitting on lots for sale, display and demo? compared to other makes. (In other words they are always in short "supply")
