Went to the dealer today to check it out, again :) and the guy said that the prices are what you see is what you get. No negotiating, all the accessories same thing so I wonder how much this is true. For a moment I thought I was back in Europe or even Canada.
Did you get to negotiate your price or is it really what you see on the sticker - that's it?

Also, the guy told me that TRD is coming out with a turbo for xA / xB and it'll be something that will have warranty. Now that sounds too good to be true. Few more horses and this puppy would fly.
Just wonder how much is that true...
Thanks,

Sasha

The price for the car is a no-haggle price.

Document fees vary from dealer to dealer.

Warranty cost varies from dealer to dealer, and I hear you can also buy them for cheaper from some insurance companies.

If you want to include accessories in your financing and have the dealer install them, you are going to pay a high price for the accessories and the labor. (They have to make their money somewhere.)

The labor prices vary from dealer to dealer, but if the "installed" price is advertised on Scion.com, the dealer has to honor that price.

If you want to buy accessories yourself and pay cash or credit card, there are a lot of sites that sell them at very, very affordable prices. Then you can install them yourself or pay someone to do it.

They are coming out with the turbo very soon. Will probably run a few thousand dollars, plus labor.

Will installing accessories yourself void the warranty? Possibly... if it can be proven that it was the cause of the problem.

Thanks for the reply.
I was actually more worried about turbo install voiding the warranty not accessories like the radio. That I can still do myself :D
But I guess if F-I is supported by the dealer and they install it, all is well 8)

damn straight, if the dealer is willing man go fo' it!

Yes, many car companies now are going to support such upgrades as turbos and superchargers.

Dodge for example is dying to get a hold of the youth market. As a result, they support extensive upgrading the car under warranty. One sales person told me, the only three things that would void the warranty is a turbo, a supercharger, and NitrosOxcide. The first two can be purchased via Mopar or from a list of appropriated companies, then you can take them to the dealer, pay for installation, and as part of the installation, they parts will also receive a Dodge/dealer warranty. (Hence the approved list).

NitrosOxcide is an obvious big no-no.

I'm interested to see how far scion is going to take this dealer support. Seems like a good idea for everyone. Dealers and Toyota will make more money oh expensive accessories ($300 Cup light :shock: ) and as a result the base car price can drop a bit.

Yes what you see is what you get with the carp price. But if you do some type of group purchase on accessories there is a discount. If anyone is interested in accessories let me know.
