Actually... That's not exactly true, dealers have to sell for their "posted" prices, which are not always MSRP.
It's illegal for a manufacturer to dictate what any dealer sells their product for.
 
Each dealer can set their own price, which has to be posted and they won't play games.
Scion does verify that dealers sell for the posted prices and are not negotiating.
So, it still pays to shop around and compare dealers.

Is there any Scion dealer that sell for less than MSRP? Other than Carmax which sells for $3 to $7 less than MSRP?

i guess i will not be spending 16k for a echo (scion) then. What a waste. (my opinion) Thanks for the info though.

xB is $14,165 with manual and $14,965 with auto. That is a significant difference in comparison to $16K. And what other $14,200 vehicle includes stability control, 160 watt stereo CD player w/ MP3, keyless entry, AC, antilock brakes, tilt wheel, power windows? I know of none.
This vehicle needs no discounts to sell.

WHAT OTHER VEHICLE COMES CLOSE? by mpgman

The Elantra GT hatch with ABS, traction control, power sun roof, leather, trip computer, heated side mirrors, fog lights, 4 wheel discs, more HP, tilt wheel, driver side lumbar adjustment, MP3 6 speaker CD, cruise, power windows, mirrors and locks, variable intermittent front wipers and intermittent rear, etc., etc. With rebates you can get these in the $14 range with a 10 year warranty. And unlike the Xb, you get standard side air bags. No such option in the Xb.

Elantra GT is a fine alternative. It does require rebates to meet the xB pricepoint though.

Maybe so, but I can't drive with two of my best friends (6'5",300 lbs & 6'6", 260 lbs)and myself (6'0", 240 lbs) in the Elantra and we can all sit comfortably in my 2005 xB!

How much did you pay for your xB?
 
Payload is 920 lbs on xB. If you have one more friend in your xB they can only be 120 lbs;)

What about accessories? by hybrid93hatch

I'm looking to get an Xa within a month. I have visited one local dealer who also would not budge on the MSRP. I'm going to try a few others than just go with the best buy. What about the accessories such as floor mats? Can I at least get these at invoice or are these prices not negotiable either? ....What about the $400+ destination charge? Is there any room for baragin with Scion's?
 
Thanks for any info!!

Accessories are available at reduced prices from many sources. www.partznet.com is one of many sites on internet. Do a search for scion accessories using a search engine.
