He will feel like he was left out of the buying decision. I would take him with you. If you have a good dealership that you are going to they will explain in detail the whole thing for him. Especially the whole buying process. Good luck!!!! :D

you will have room to bargin with the accessories, but in my opinion none of the accessories are practical. i have yet to see anyone on these forums who has successfully talked down a dealer on the base sticker price. good luck.

all dealers that signed up to sell Scion (not all do) in addition to laying down usually over $100K, have signed a covenant that states that we will do the things how Scion wants us to with Pure Price, setting up the dealership, training the staff, etc. If we don't comply, they'll withhold our incoming inventory, kinda like how yer mom would tell you that she'll give you the cookie if you behave. You know the cookies are there and you gotta act according to mom's covenant to get the cookie. considering that a Toyota/Scion dealer is the most coveted franchise to have in the automotive world, dealers are happy to comply.

I'll make sure he reads that post before he goes there and makes an ___ out of himself and me thanks.

It is possible to buy an xB for less than MSRP. I bought an '05 xB PW 5 speed for $13,599 .

You can get some accessories for less if you go to the parts department and by them ... install them yourself. Picked up OBX sports pedals at my dealers parts dept for$47. That and an oil filter for my $50.00 scion gift card.

I find it hard to believe that Scion/Toyota would withhold inventory from a dealer who sold for less than MSRP. If they are selling lots of them , they sure wouldn't. Scion is not in the business of controlling small quantities of a wanted commodity just to keep people paying whatever they ask. Funny thing about supply and demand, sooner or later, supply catches up with demand. Then who pays MSRP plus fees? There are dealers out ther who sell for what the want (discount).
