#8 of 14 Toyota Matrix S by usaf66 Nov 19, 2008 (6:03 pm)
Just purchased sorta felt pressured. Was told the base would do good and price had wiggle room compared to the scion xD. Well before I knew it two floor managers were tossing numbers everywhere-claims it will get more mileage than stated (22/29) main thing I was really interested inthe Base plus cruise control. Well never saw the wiggle room ended paying $19800 using the lease to own plan.after 2k down and 2.5k trade-making it almost $24k in 3 yr. will either pay 12800 or refinance. question do they get better mileage than posted and does that sound like a decent price. live in Ohio ps female and they kept asking if husband was involved I should of walked out at that question. Seeems no dealer in Oh will work up a sale price and give you time to either thik about it or compare. Is that asking to much. or did they just see a sucker in me. I do love the car.   Usafrosie Replies to this message: alamocity (Nov 20, 2008 7:46 am) nippononly (Nov 21, 2008 8:25 am) alamocity (Nov 21, 2008 4:26 pm) bearcrkrd (Nov 22, 2008 11:13 am) mnf (Nov 22, 2008 1:01 pm)

Replying to: usaf66 (Nov 19, 2008 6:03 pm) I'm curious what options did you add that drove the price up to almost 24K? That seems like a steep price to pay. Replies to this message: nippononly (Nov 21, 2008 8:25 am) alamocity (Nov 21, 2008 4:26 pm)

I live in Michigan and you should have been able to buy the sport model outright for less than 24k.

Replying to: alamocity (Nov 20, 2008 7:46 am) I believe Usafrosie was saying the cost over the course of the payments, including interest, was almost $24K. The actual price she paid was $19,800 apparently. Replies to this message: alamocity (Nov 21, 2008 4:26 pm)

Wasn't just two guys, but the whole crew. Honest to God, true story!!! Went for a test drive, then sat down inside. A football game was starting on TV behind me. It was University of Washington against UCLA. Washington was still good in those days, I'm a fan of the team, and I wanted to watch that game. By the time they got done with me, the game was half over. It was Halftime!!! I didn't buy. In my case, after all that, the price they offered was exactly where it should have been, even though I didn't know that until later. They were being coached in the art of car selling by an older salesman/boss, I believe. He was the 'manager', and was sitting not far away. I still remember it, with fondness.... I didn't buy because the car didn't have a radio. In 2001 I had never had a car with Air Conditioning, Cruise, Power windows and door locks. So that didn't even register with me. Sitting there, I thought to myself "I don't want to scratch the first new car I've ever bought, putting in a radio". The car was a 2001 Nissan Sentra base model, manual tranny. I thought it drove like a dream. Of course, I was stepping out of a 1968 Chevy Impala with 330,000 miles. I bought a little Toyota Tacoma base model shortly after that. I'm on my sixth new vehicle now, and have had mixed success with prices I paid. Some great buys, some not so great. All resulted in a new car, and it's been a blast.
