Loose lips sink ships, Msrp....don't get hustled

Pay MSRP - due to Scion's Pure Pricing you won't pay below MSRP. Some dealers try and jack up the price because of demand - but with reports of ample supply - I wouldn't pay a dime over MSRP.

zaptorque 01-28-2013 04:40 PM

P.S. That's a super clean Tacoma

Grey 01-28-2013 04:41 PM

MSRP.

CaptainSlow 01-28-2013 04:42 PM

Scion gives 1 price...unless you have mega-connections, I don't think you'll pay below that price, but don't pay higher than it either. Make sure you tell them to keep the dealer-installed options to only those you want to pay for (not window etching, for example). Tell any dealers that are charging a premium because of the car's "rarity" to f-off, and go find a dealer that will order your car for you...for the Scion price. That's what I ended up having to do...had to drive a little further (1.5 hours instead of 15 minutes), but it's worth the drive to find a good dealer

HunterGreene 01-28-2013 04:44 PM

MSRP. You shouldn't have to pay above that, if you look around enough.

tbwoodlee 01-28-2013 04:58 PM

MSRP for me as well. I'm in TN for those that care. I got mine at Toyota of Murfreesboro, my salesman was JD. If you want a FR-S look him up, he was super cool.

EK_Golfer 01-28-2013 05:07 PM

MSRP. The current prices are listed on scion's website with the destination charge added in. So you should expect the sticker price on the cars to be the same listed on the site, minus any dealer added options of course.

thank you!! haha i've been a sports car owner at heart for a long time and finally making the transition from a truck!! and i didn't know about scion's true pricing that's pretty awesome!! i will definitely shop around and you guys can expect me in one of these in a month or two :D

strat61caster 01-28-2013 05:17 PM

People say MSRP but I call shenanigans, too many dealers especially in CA throw crap on to jack up the prices.

$25,255
~$2,500 in taxes & registration, they upcharged me about $100 for taxes according to this: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/FeeCalculatorWeb/index.jsp
and a $80 "document fee" which is bull, almost walked out but I wanted the car =(

They will probably stick to their guns on the price they have on the car ("pure price lol") but a good dealer will "order" you a car (i.e. get one and specifically not put shit on it). Put down a $500 deposit and agree upon the vehicle price in writing (fully refundable, goes towards your down payment). Good luck.

chenshuo 01-28-2013 05:18 PM

i paid $750 BELOW MSRP for my BRZ.

boredom.is.me 01-28-2013 05:19 PM

$25,513...then dealer and state related stuff. They tried to sell it for $27k. Wasn't happening. In the end, I ended up getting a BeSpoke as a free upgrade. They messed up. :)

eddieEndo 01-28-2013 05:22 PM

i hope i don't get raped on the trade in

Usually better to sell your car yourself, just takes a little more work. Dealer will usually give horrible value on your trade in.

IloveBaldEagles 01-28-2013 05:37 PM

Sell your Tacoma privately. Pay sticker and get GAP insurance. MUST GET GAP INSURANCE.

I took my dealer's first ever inventoried FR-S and it's the third Scion I've bought from them. We have a good relationship. I paid MSRP to the penny, plus paint protection, undercoating, GAP insurance, and TTL. $28,298.03.

I love my dealer. They don't even tap holes in my bumpers despite our state law requiring front plates without asking first and debadge before delivery.

Puente Hills Toyota, City of Industry CA

The only thing to look out for is them trying to give you a high interest rate. I had to negotiate it down to 3% from almost 5% (I knew I qualified for lower than that)

eddieEndo 01-28-2013 05:53 PM

awesome man thanks again!!!!!!! i will definitely be swinging by, i'm not too far

mkiisupra 01-28-2013 05:53 PM

Gosch Toyota/Scion in Hemet gave me the most information, including shipping dates and arrivals via screen shots of their information for my incoming car and called when they had the car in (without deposit!!). Kept the front plates off, minimal work in the dealership and back home 400 miles later. Dale Ferguson is a great guy to work with and understands the car fairly well.

I bought mine at the local dealer. They tried to charge me for headlight tint ($700) and a bunch of otehr crap. I got it for MSRP, except they did upcharge me 1k for some paint protection crap that I didn't want. Nice thing is, they gave me about 3k more for my trade-in over what I was expecting so I didn't care about the paint crap.

Just a note, scion raised the price of the frs for 2013, $300 more to be exact. So look carefully on the sticker. Before destination fee and ad ons, base msrp price should be about $24,500 and $25,600 (MT and AT)

Why must he get GAP insurance? Do you know how much he plans to use as a down payment?

GAP insurance is only for people who have little or no money for a down payment. If you buy the "right" way, you have zero need for GAP insurance. Who the hell buys a car with little or no money down?

GAP insurance is just a catchy phrase that stands for: "I couldn't afford it, so I bought it anyway".

beesmiff07 01-28-2013 09:23 PM

I have a question....I know money talks especially if its there cash in hand....do yall think 21k cash well kinda sway them to go below the pure price?

That's a lowball offer if I've ever heard one before. The answer is no.

hahahaa cash don't mean anything to the dealers unless you are paying for them to rape u.. the lower u put down payment and the higher interest rate is what they want in most cases and thats how they make money.. depends on dealers u go to..

maxx1957 01-28-2013 09:57 PM

I paid $28452.00
Red Manual
The dealer had stuff on the car that I didnt want, like bespoke, some clear plastic the hood, ashtry, but I did get leather which came out really nice.. If there was a base one to be found I wouldve bought it...

GAP is a simple CYA measure. You never know what will happen in the next day to how ever long you own the car. GAP is cheap, and helps you from going into paying a car you might no longer have.
