Went car shopping for small car for my brother.

Honda Fit: $17k!
Honda Civic: $20!
Toy Base Yaris HB: $16k! (rolly windows!)
Toy Base Corolla: $18k! (rolly windows!)
Used Standard TC: $17k! (20k miles)
New Regular Standard TC: $21k!

I asked the sales geek why does this car cost so much?
He blabbed, there was AC, Power Windows, Airbags, Cruise, Sunroof, yada yada, standard things I got in my TC for $17k. No SC, No Kit, Not RS2, Nothing special.
I feel like I got great deal on my car now!

This was at Poway Toyota in San Diego, if you guys were wondering...

 

Go back there with a print out from Scion.com showing the price @ 17,000 and tell him to sell you the car for that price. If they say it's still $21,000 (with 0 options) tell them you'll be calling Scion corporate and that they will lose their license to sell Scions. :D.

 

watching, can u get a pic of the price tag?

 

x2

and add im sure you'll love losing all your allocation for a couple years

 

Poway sucks anyways...go to a different dealership

 

That sounds like this dealer here. They wanted $22k and the only upgrades were the 18" Enkeis, pedestal spoiler, and Borla exhaust.

 

i rather spend 21 about for rs series.eh

 

lmao i can sell my car for 30k at that dealer

 

Mine was still 20k with warranty and ish.

 

My 08 was $21k with lip kit and springs...and tax.

And warranty and registration fee, and windshield etch ____, and w/e other crap they charged me.

 

They didn't have a RS3 in manual so they tried to persuade me to get an auto. They even said "We will give you any accessory or add-on you want if you buy the auto" I was thinking of asking them for a supercharger, but than I was like nah... I was the stick.

 

come to toyota of buena park, i'll take care of you..

 

A 5-spd tC and auto tC are two completely different cars, I have both and the Auto is very

 

ive been thru 2 dealers that r trying to sell 2005 tC's with close to 50k miles for $16999 - i asked both why so much when you can get a brand new one for 17800 with no miles and they didnt have an answer...
rip off!!!

 

Wow that's a rip, kbb has an 05 @ 50k miles at about 11k...

 

thats wat i told them....

the guy comes back and says... well, its actually 15999- you wanna talk?

i told him that id only talk when its down to at least 13000

i had an 05 with 42k miles - totalled it last week - sux!!!

 

it's probably the options it comes with, and how much the dealer bought it back for. and also you can't "buy" cars on kelley blue book. oh and kelley blue book is just a reference when dealers buy back cars they see how much it cost at an auction and go with auction prices

 

a buddy of mine went to a dealer to see wat he could get for one of his 07 tCs so he could trade and get his wife a mini and they said the value of the 07 now is only +- 12500

so 05's shouldnt be selling for that much no matter wat the dealer bought it for (plus there were no extras - stock, stick)

 

From the dealer i referred to...

This is more than I paid for my car new and this one has 25k on the clock.

 

poway toyota does suck. go to kearny mesa or bob baker in lemon grove.
