Pure Pricing, like everyone said, is made to make the buying process easier. Whatever the dealer has posted in their showroom and on their website is what they HAVE to sell the vehicle for, according to Scion.

I am a Scion Manager and I know all about how the program works. Do some dealers negotiate? Of course they do, however, I had a finance manager mark down a warranry to make it more fesiable for a Scion customer once, and we were audited by Scion. In return, I lost inventory due to disobeying the Pure Price guidelines.

That being said, when you say "Only 1300 dollars". You have to take into consideration that each vehicle, in most dealerships, have what they call a "pack". My dealership has a $500 pack, meaning no matter what, there is automatically $500 dollars taken our of gross from each vehicle. Therefore, we are now down to 800 dollar profit for the salesperson. If you are truely satisfied with your salesperson, you should not be ridiculous. Salesmen are paid on gross, not units. If I had someone sell 15 FR-S in a month, they would make a whopping $2400 dollars in commissions. 800*15=12,000 in gross, and they make 20% of gross. I don't know about you guys, but for someone working to support a family, $2400 isn't very easy to make ends meet.

If you don't like the price, don't buy the damn car.
