#334 of 345 Re: My 2 month attempt to buy a Scion is over... [hulkedup] by BlackberryPie Feb 01, 2009 (4:55 pm)
Replying to: hulkedup (Feb 01, 2009 8:04 am) Congratulations, Hulkedup. It would be nice if more states would protect their citizens by capping this "doc fee." Yes, I'll sell a car to you but you'll have to pay me extra for a bill of sale - how do you sell a car without issuing a bill of sale?   It's like going to WalMart and buying $250.00 worth of groceries and when you ask for the receipt itemizing your purchases, they won't give it to you without paying them another $25.00. It's truly a masked markup.   I know what I'm talking about because I worked for a new car dealership for four years. I know, too, that, at least with Ford, there is a 2%-4% dealer "holdback" (of invoice) which is given to the dealer at a later date. There is also an advertising allowance. And if a vehicle fails to sell within its model year, corporate gives the dealer a "carryover allowance"of several hundred dollars to help offset potential loss.   I took the doc fee into consideration when I made my offer, reducing it appropriately.
#335 of 345 bought slightly used by wavlngth Feb 05, 2009 (3:49 pm)
I went into the dealer today ready to buy a new Scion xb. I picked up a slightly used 2008 6400 miles with many add-ons (navigation system, XM satellite radio, 18" wheels with rims, rear spoiler, molded dash applique, remote engine start, window tint, interior light kit, overhead console box, illuminated door sill enhancement, floor mats, security system, fog lights, strobe lights. Plus Toyota certified 7 year/ 100,000 warranty. Final price just under $18,500. I estimate there was ~$7000 in upgrades, most of them I probably don't need but I thought the price on this was worth grabbing over a brand new 2009.

Wow, you almost hit the six digits. Mine is at 21000. However, I only get to drive mine about 5 times a year.
#338 of 345 Preowned xB. Can I do better? by karthick Mar 18, 2009 (6:03 pm)
Folks, I have an opportunity to get an 2008 xB with 22k miles on it for $13900 with no doc fees. It is an Auto with premium audio. I couldnt find a better price localy for a preowned but I am wondering if there are better deals to be had on the Fleabay. 2009 MSRP for a similar vehicle is $17659. So it looks like I am getting about a $3800 discount for the 22k miles.. It doesnt seem like that hot a deal but I cant seem to find a better deal locally.   Any opinions would be appreciated.

Replying to: karthick (Mar 18, 2009 6:03 pm) What is the Blue Book on it? It would be a safe bet to assume the dealer paid less than the trade-in value when they took it in. If you like the vehicle I would bargain hard for it, especially in this economy. It's a buyer's market and you should be in control. Dropping the doc. fee is not enough since most people feel that's a BS charge to begin with. Replies to this message: karthick (Mar 22, 2009 6:58 am)

Replying to: hulkedup (Mar 21, 2009 8:44 pm) The trade in values turned out as follows.  Excellent $12,800 Good $12,050 Fair $10,675   Considering the car is on sale retail and it is under warranty, it would have to be classified excellent or good. So the dealer is making a neat profit on this.. Hmm perhaps I should shop around.
#341 of 345 discount? by stewpidaso Apr 09, 2009 (7:04 am)

Replying to: stewpidaso (Apr 09, 2009 7:04 am) That's jack. An 08 scion xb wagon used (17000-18000) msrp has a trade in of under 13000 with average miles. (kbb.com). You're paying a lot for Scion's hip marketing,etc which I assume isn't working too well right now. That said, it is a low volume vehicle which may keep prices up. Either way, it isn't much of a deal unless you really really dig it. Xc and Xd are similar.   Good luck --jjf Replies to this message: stewpidaso (Apr 09, 2009 11:51 am)

Replying to: jfritsch (Apr 09, 2009 11:06 am) dealers alway screw u on trade in value. they have to atleast make 1-2k to make it worth their while. for exmpl. they give you 12,700 trade in value & inturn ask 16.5k when they go to sell knowing consumer will want to knock 1k off that is why i never trade my old car in.
