MSRP Discount!?!

MSRP Discount!?!
I picked up my xB2 last week and paid just $15,862! White 5 speed with nothing additonal since the dealer had no parts in stock. I know it's not much of a discount, but $400 is $400! Purchased from fitzmall.com

They can charge whatever they want, as long as they have it posted on their website and Pure Price Menu. Whatever those prices are, is what the Final Transaction Price has to be. We still have our '07 tC's priced $300 under Scion's MSRP.

An xB with auto has an invoice price of $16350
MSRP is $17180
If the dealer has 0 holdback and no other secret incentives then they make a profit of $830 if they sell for MSRP.
If the dealer trims $300 off MSRP, then they still make AT LEAST a healthy $530 profit that we know of. Or about "a nickel over" as they say in the biz, right? That's a fair deal.
If Fitz auto mall will sell the same car for $16811 (and their invoice is $10 higher at $16360), then they are making $451 profit that we know of. That's also a fair deal.
I suppose the reason most dealers wont sell for that low is because there is no dealer holdback coming to them on Scions. Is that correct?

Don't forget that many Stealerships make money on the "processing fee". This is something they stick you with, even if you want to handle the DMV paperwork yourself. In my local area, this ranges from $399.00-$425.00.
Fitzmall has a great deal for people, and it is great to see them debunk the pure price B.S. that many dealers try to sell you. Most will tell you that they can not discount the car from sticker price. That is a bold face flat out lie, and Fitzmall proves it ! If I had more time, I would have driven there and bought my car. I did talk with them, they faxed me over paperwork, I just was short on time and picked a closer dealership and paid more for the convenience.

Thanks Travis, I realize that. My point was that this fee is not a State mandated fee, it is separate from DMV or whatever your State calls them. It is a fee, designed and made up by the individual dealers to increase profit, nothing more. Years ago, this fee was quite reasonable and just covered the little bit of time that it took the person to go stand in line at dmv. Now, dealers do this online and have a supply of plates at their location. I can have an outside company come in and do DMV work for me for $45 per car. $400-$45 leave a bunch of profit for the dealer for doing nothing, and dealers do not want you to do your own paperwork !

Take a look at www.fitzmall.com and click on the Scion tab and you will see how they do their pricing. They have an "Internet" price with no frills, and then a price that includes extras like free loaner cars etc... So no, they do not discount on a case by case basis, they just let the customer decide what they want to pay for. If you are from out of town, you can save $300 + over other dealers.
