Base price increase?
 
I was just browsing the Scion website and noticed that the base price for the car seems to have increased. They initially bumped destination from 755 to 805 (current) and now the base price has increased a couple hundred dollars. Interesting. Wonder whats causing the increase.

Every car's MSRP goes up a little bit every year, with very few exceptions.

Likely varying exchange and shipping rates? I would assume that they set the price based on the current rates for x amount of time and then recalculate after that period of time to assess whether and adjustment is necessary.

XB increased the most in the Toyota line.
FR-S has the second largest increase.

If you already have one, it only increases the value of your car. I'm not complaining.

nktech 12-19-2012 03:25 PM

Yeah agreed, I do already have one. Its not a significant increase but an increase none the less. Generally between years I can understand but yeah, this is the same model year.

I was thinking quality control issues causing the increase.

It won't make a difference as the world ends on Friday.

That's weird, I read that after the 2012's are finished the xB is discontinued.

I hope the prices continue to increase higher and higher. Anyone remember when an Integra Type R was less than 20k?
