Default Something I dont understand

I have been looking around at dealerships, cause my wife and I are wanting to
get another Xb. So looking around I have noticed that buying a new Scion is
actually cheaper that buying a used one. Is it cause unless it an actual Scion/
Toyota dealership they dont know much about them? I bought my Xb used at a
Pontiac dealership for $12,000, and that's the cheapest I have seen anywhere
else. I'm thinking I gotta buy new.

If you are going to buy a new one you need to go to Camelback Scion and talk to Mark or Brian. They are the best in the valley and will treat you right. They give great service and go the extra mile for you. You will leave there Happy buying a scion from them.

Well, beleive it or not.. Scion is one of the few vehicles that actually go up in value
for resale used. So that is another good plug to buy a Scion..

Give Mark/Bryan a call at Camelback.. psst.. don't forget to tell them that I sent you that way

Camelback Scion is actually where I wanted to go,
cause I went to Big Two Scion and the guy I was
talking to was telling what I wanted, instead of me
telling him what I wanted. The next Xb I get is for
my wife and she is picky.

Camelback was the 1st car dealership I went to and they actually talked to you AND listened. They did not go ummhmm ummhmm ok this is the car your going to buy
and here you go and its nothing you talked about.
The Team there is one of the few that I know that gives a hoot about what goes on.
They are very active in our community as well!!

Who was the sales guy at Big Two, thats where I bought mine and I didnt like my sales guy or the dealership myself. The only thing I liked about that place is the old dude that ran Scion service in that little booth, he was really nice.

I have some things I could compain about though with BT and would take it back and go to Camelback if I could.

Crispy..

When you are ready let us know what you want and we'll get it for you. We don't even add the hubcaps or radio until you buy it. No "Gee Sorry, it came in with the extra equipment" excuses from us.

Mark (of "Mark and Bryan" fame)

I'm not very happy with Bell Scion either.. the sales wasn't bad, but when it came to getting my Bill of sale items installed.. it took about 2 months to get the parts in, and even then the struts were on "backorder" for another month.. hearing this, i tried to get my money back for the struts, and that process took about 2 weeks of countless calls, being passed around from person to person, and even being given the run around in person while i was there. it was all finally installed about 3 months after i originally bought the car, and i am so glad that whole fiasko<sp?> is over with!

Scions have pure pricing when you buy a new one but the pure pricing rules don't apply to used scions which is why dealerships can jack the price up. I feel sorry for anyone who pays more for a used one than a new one. I saw a used xB on autotrader for something like $27k.
