Default Is ths a good deal?

I am thinking about buying a leftover silver 2010 tc. Its auto and has tints and the spoiler. They have 1500 off for market adjustment and 2000 off of msrp. The total would be 16,400. Is this something that i can negotiate for an even better price or should i jump on this?

Tints? I didn't know you could pluralize a singular item.

Pure Price Planning = Pay the price on the sticker or go home

well i need an auto for the wife and yes I said tints because you put tint on multiple windows. You guys are ridiculous with the comments, I am too old for bickering on the internet, thanks for the a-hole comments though.

try to talk the salesperson down to 14,000 if you can. if they really want to sell it, thay will. what options does it have? when you get an offer make sure thay are using the right county taxes, and not one with a higher taxt rate. the dealer tried to do that to me, to make the end price higher. and try to get them to throw in some extra car care services for free.

there are no defects that I saw or know of on the car, it has 101 miles on it. The extras on it are pinstripe (which I hate), spoiler and tint. they were charging a little over 1k for that stuff. Cars MSRP is 18,700 plus the extras minus the 1500 in market adjustment and 2000 off msrp. Didn't really know about the tax thing but good to know for sure. I was trying to talk down the vehicle but they said they are not budging because its Scion pure pricing or whatever. I think its bull and was planning on making them come down more or just not buy it but wanted to see what others on here thought. There are really no options on it just a basic TC with spoiler.

Unless the tC you are looking at is a special edition model, $18,700 MSRP seems a little high for a base automatic tC. Go look elsewhere if it is not a release edition tC.

That MSRP isn't high. That's about average. I wouldn't pay it now with the new model out, however. $16,400 isn't bad but try offering less. They don't want it on the lot that's for sure so they may take your offer.

Add about 1k to those prices because of the automatic. I've never seen one for less than 18k.

It's total MSRP. It would be unlikely someone would get out of paying the destination charge, hence the reason they factor it in.
