With the xB no longer at dealers, anyone know if the accessories at dealership for the xB are now cheaper? Anyone call a dealership to find out?

 

I would doubt it... although that might vary on a dealer to dealer basis.

 

my dealer claims any acessories I buy in the first year from them they will take 20% normal price for me?? Anyone else heard of such?

 

I got a front end hood protector (vinyl bra) from a local dealer for $50. He said it was $10 off.

 

You might find some deals on stuff they can't move. It might get harder to find stuff for the xB tho.

 

What are you looking for exactly??

 

Anyone have a line on the factory bra (only looking for the hood piece) for less then MSRP?

 

i dont think they would lower the price,. unless its the generic one!

 

EBAY is the best place for factory stuff. I bought my xB SCION floor mats all 4 for 45 bucks on ebay brand new.

 

why bother, i mean seriously, i have a friend who works at a toyota dealership with a tc, he says the prices at sites like trdsparks is only slightly more than his employee discount gets him for genuine toyota/scion/trd parts.

but just because the xa and xb aren't made any more means that their accessories are going to be cheaper. there will always be people who buy used scions who will buy them, or when they wear out, people will replace them.

the scion accessories are a huge revenue for scion, for both current and previous production models.

 

my understanding is the "accessories" will drop prices, like the trd stuff for the xa/xb, but it'll be slow probably take a year or so

 

www.irontoad.com - they advertise on ebay too. good prices, plus if you buy more than like $100 worth, they throw in another discount. shipping was hella fast. i got my damn accessories before i got my box back in nov of 05! my box came in jan 06! hahahaa
- sh00k

 

dealer giving a good price? yeah, right! i got a 50.00 gift certificate after i paid over 20k for my box, and when i went to use it 4 months later, they said it had expired! really! well, when i ordered the k& n from them a few weeks after that they forgot to charge me! INSTANT KARMA!

 

Good one Bro! I felt the same way when I found out they started giving those $50 gifts out shortly AFTER I bought my xB. I wasn't all to happy.

Also when I asked if I could have all the oil and filters I was due from the 3 "free" oil changes. Would you believe they said NO? They are still mine whether or not I choose to let them do the labor. Right?

 

The three oil changes are designed to get you in so they can recommend the other services you need. $$$$ for them

 

had my free ones done at 500, 3,000 and 6,000 miles then switched to synthetic. gettin a credit for my own oil at the 5k service intervals is like pullin teeth. they scream and holler. i also change oil in between the 5k's that they do. can't be too clean, ya know! only got 26k on this car in under 22 months...am aiming for 300k (if the trannie holds out)!!?
