Pure Pricing does NOT mean everyone pays MSRP.

In fact, given that this is true, we're right back in the same boat as before, with every dealer charging whatever they feel they can get away with. Except now, the dealer is DENIED the opportunity to negotiate with me, as I, too, am DENIED the same thing. And since NO dealer is likely to advertise his absolute end-of-the-month bottom-line price ... Scion is unlikely to EVER sell me a car with this outlandish policy.
Yea, the theory behind it is great. The Saturn brand, obvious THE BEST CARS EVER... [please know I'm being sarcastic]... had the highest Sales Process ratings due to their haggle-free process... albeit the practice is what dictates how positive the procedure is perceived.

There is an unwritten guideline where you're not supposed to have a 'weekend fire sale' with temporary repricing. The unwritten rule asks for at least a month period where the new pricing is in effect.

But one small thing, if they are trying to sell the car for a lower price, why wouldn't they advertise the heck out of them? At the end of the month, it's about moving units to hit unit bonuses~ but anyhow, no system is ever perfect. Everyone finds the kinks in the playbook and repeats until caught in any situation
