Hello everyone and I hope that you are having a great day. With pure pricing the Scion Xb is providing Toyota with approximately a $900.00 profit which seems high to me for a inexpensive car. To make matters worse here in Florida the dealers charge an addtional markup fee of $699.00. So Scion is making an average profit here in Florida of $1600.00 on a economy car not including any accessories sold. Volkswagon for example has a very thin profit on the Rabbit. Does anyone else feel that this pure pricing is too expensive???

Replying to: bpraxis (Jul 22, 2007 7:46 am) Yes the Xb seems expensive with the price boost compared to what others can be obtained for. Their marketing must be working and inventory control and manufacturing such that they can hold close to this price. Only the method suggested in my previous post will tell.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jul 10, 2007 2:48 am) Are you sure all the dealers got together and set the same fee? Pretty smart collusion. When I bought my '06, the three dealers here had fees of $400, $500 and $900. I only found out about the big fees when I was at the $900 dealer and it showed up on the purchase order I was supposed to sign. It was not negotiable, and when I refused, that dealer invited me to check other dealers. So I did and bought from a dealer with a lower fee. |

Just got our Nautical Blue automatic XB 3 days ago at the pure price without any dealer fees. I researched many dealers in Ga. and found dealer fees ranging from $249 to $750. The dealer that I wanted to purchase our XB from had a dealer fee of $399. Our daughter lives in Asheville, NC, and on a recent trip I visited the Asheville dealer and found out that they did not add a dealer fee to any of their vehicles. The Asheville dealer is 2 hours away from home, so I preferred to buy the XB from the Ga. dealer that is only 30 minutes away. When I called the Ga. dealer and told them that they could waive the dealer fee or I would purchase the vehicle in Asheville, they agreed to remove the fee. In reality, they left the dealer fee and reduced the sales price by $399. They explained that they could not get rid of the dealer fee or they would set themselves up for a class action suit by everyone that had paid the fee. We wanted the dark blue color with automatic and no other options, and the dealer did not have one on the lot. They ended up doing a dealer trade, and ironically our XB came out of North Carolina. The drive-out price of $18573.17 came about this way: $16,600 list + $715 Del'y - $399 discount + $399 Admin fee + $22.54(?)+ $1213.63 tax + $22 title fee = $18,573.17. As I mentioned, the dealers did a trade to get the vehicle that we wanted to Ga. When I went through the glove box, I found the trade information that the driver had failed to turn in to the dealer. It showed that the Ga. dealer paid the NC dealer $16,569.41 for our XB. The NC dealer paid the Ga. dealer $25,830.41 for the trade vehicle, but I can't tell from the paperwork exactly what that vehicle was. It was an '07 Model 8216, whatever that is. The dealer also threw in floor mats at no charge. I am not sure if this was intentional, or they failed to put them on the invoice. We love the XB so far. I would definitely recommend it. I hope that the above info will help others that are considering taking the plunge. |

Just got a new 08 Blue xB automatic. Ackerman Toyota is offering $500 off the MSRP and another dealer in town is offering $400 off MSRP. I saw just about every color except teal. Price was 16825 + $92 dealer fee. I have to pay the TTL this weekend at the DMV. I hope this helps. |

| Looking to buy one with automatic, no other options. What you guys paying for the out of the door price in the bay area? | |
Is the "no haggle" pricing for XM supposed to be $449 plus installation charge, or $449 including installation charge?
