Toyota FT-86 Price Poll

[tranzformer]

I am getting a feeling most people are voting for what they hope it will be priced at rather than what they predict it will be priced at. I guess those two things could be the same, however what I hope it to be priced at is much lower than what I predict/expect Toyota to price it at.

Back in 1986 the original AE86 was around $12k in US depending on options. Pulled out an inflation calculator and that is just around $25k in 2011. Who knows much that will be by next year.

considering Scion has a "Pure Price" policy, they can price lower because they don't have to factor in people haggling from an invoice price.

It could easily be $23-24k

It should be 23-24k. But will it be?

Pure Price doesn't mean the dealer has to sell at MSRP. It just means they need to sell at whatever they advertise it for. They can advertise the car at MSRP + $1500 and that is ok. As long as it is advertised and openly known to the customer. Pure pricing is a bunch of BS imo.

My point was that, the traditional model allowed cars to be sold for under MSRP, even under invoice.

I don't think Pure Price does unless it's part of "Toyotathon" clearing out last years models.

So they can keep MSRP lower.

Still doesn't make sense to me.

Traditional model: MSRP $26k, invoice $24k customer pays $24k or whatever
Pure Price model: MSRP $24k, invoice whatever, customer pays $24k or whatever

The model doesn't matter. Customer will still end up paying whatever the automaker wants the car to be sold at.

PP is a BS because it doesn't let you make an offer at all.

I've personally gotten a quote on that number aswell. Fairly confident it's correct at this point.

[maxeveland]

that would mean $24k after freight charge, just what I expected
