Default Do dealerships have the accesories at the dealerships?

Like spoilers, lights etc. I know that the cars just come stock and u pick what you want, but would i have to wait if I ordered a spoiler, or do they just have them in the back in their assorted colors. Thanks.

Most of them would likely NOT have any in stock. Some of the high volume Scion ones might have a few things, but likely you'll be waiting. They'll order it and call you when it's in and setup a time for install. It's not that big of a deal.

most dealerships have a good stock of accessories and parts.. some more than others.. but usually if you need something and they don't have it... they can get it very quickly.. most times the next day

We can get parts next day for the most part; (you can't order something at 8pm and expect it in the next day)

Well when I got my lowering springs through the dealer it cost the same as the scion website said. It was 200 plus tax to buy the springs and have them installed. Pretty good deal in my book.

If they were $200 installed, that is a good price. Some dealerships will charge that much just for install.

You'd be better off just not ordering them when you get the car. Order them online and then install yourself. You'll save boatloads of $$.

Ya if you're going to do that then dont get any accessories what so ever. Your gonna be able to find the same parts alot less else where, such as trdsparks or mcgeorgeparts. Funny how actually both sites are dealer run but they give you the best deals still.

Aside from overpaying upfront, your gonna way overpay down the road as well. If its a car your buying with the accessories added to it, the cost of the parts is added to the total loan value. This means that your getting charged interest on the parts.
