#8 of 345 WHAT OTHER VEHICLE COMES CLOSE? by mpgman Jun 25, 2004 (5:36 pm)
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.

Replying to: mpgman (Jun 25, 2004 5:36 pm) Elantra GT is a fine alternative. It does require rebates to meet the xB pricepoint though.

Replying to: mpgman (Jun 25, 2004 5:36 pm) 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! Replies to this message: moparbad (Jul 07, 2004 11:53 am)

Replying to: roketsciontist (Jul 07, 2004 10:05 am) 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;)
#12 of 345 What about accessories? by hybrid93hatch Jul 17, 2004 (12:10 pm)
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!!
#13 of 345 Accessories by moparbad Jul 19, 2004 (11:01 am)
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.
#14 of 345 What about "DOCUMENT" fees???? by hybrid93hatch Jul 21, 2004 (2:56 pm)
Are you guys able to negotiate the BS documents fee? THe local dealers want $299 here where one dealer in Lake City, Florida under $50. Some places even charge up to $600. Any tips on fighting this fee??   Thanks!
#15 of 345 xB Prices and Negotiating by roberta3 Jul 23, 2004 (2:08 pm)
After visiting two dealerships in person, and three others via e-mail, NONE will do any negotiating on price of vehicle and options. Best we could do was one free oil change after promotional three being offered. Caution with dealers offering free "lifetime" oil changes--cost is added in when you bring in the vehicle for scheduled maintenance. Was told that failure to bring in for scheduled maintenance could void warranty! Am still checking around, but it doesn't look hopeful even though here in Southern California with a multitude of dealers to choose from.

News Flash: -The whole Scion Concept is that dealers don't negotiate- at all. -Three free oil changes are included in all Scions
#17 of 345 xB Pricing and the salesman you get. by mydingo Aug 16, 2004 (7:42 pm)
First let me say, I just bought my xB last Sunday and I am really pleased with the fun factor. What you hear about the no-negotiation is not exactly true. If you look at the sticker on the car you will see that the MSRP is around $13,800 plus a $499.00 service, prep, handling charge. The dealer price is about $14,299 or so. Than you start adding the dealer prep ($699) misc items that they do to the car and the next thing you know it around $15,058. Buy the time you get out of there you're at about $16,985. The dealer may not be able to change the MSRP price but mine waived the $699.00 and threw in free tints,mats, 3 full tanks of gas and 3 details. You get the 3 oil changes for free anyway with all scions. I don't think thats a bad deal for an even $16,000 out the door. At first I was concerned about the price, but in Florida these things are selling so fast they get what they ask for. It took 3 hours of wheeling and dealing to drop the $1000 of the price. I think the time to shop is at the end of the month. You should try to find the salesman which has not met his quota for the week or the month. Remember that supply and demand will dictate whether your dealer will negotiate the OTD price. Good Luck.
