Vise Versa, I could sell it at $15,000 as long as I advertise all of them at $15,000...

"Internet" price = in store price = selling price

Dealers that mark up or mark down a Scion is just plain stupid though... Marking them up would mean that the consumer would just skip them and go to the next dealership that sold them at MSRP. Selling them for below MSRP would just be a loss to the dealership... dumb either way...




You sure can. But keep in mind that no options also means no floor mats... most Scion dealers "include" floormats... but they are really just selling you the car + floor mats at about $189 more than just the car...
Exactly, the selling price MUST match the posted price and be the same price for everyone. The same goes for finance rates, extended warranties, GAP insurance, and accessories.

My dealership marked down our last 2011 tC when we didn't sell it before we got 3-4 2012 tC's in. We posted the price in our showroom on the menus and on our website.

I can't speak for all dealerships, but mine will only add around $1,000 or less of accessories to a car that we have in stock and we only do it to one that we have in our showroom. The accessories are usually rear spoiler, body graphic, and floor mats. The one in our showroom now is a RS 7.0 with fog lights, body graphic & floor mats

I have one on my lot right now that is that exact price. My inventory guy tries to get all Scions in that are stripped. If anything, floor mats will be on the car and they cost $184 so your AT will be $20,489 & manual is $19,489.

When too many accessories are added, it makes the car more difficult to sell because it lessens the number of people that would be interested in the car. It could be just one thing that someone doesn't like and they won't buy the car so we have to get them one with nothing on it and add the options that that particular customer wants, if any.
