I went to the Scion dealer to get a drive out price on a Scion xA with the options I want. Everything is the same as the price when you build the xA on Scion's website (same MSRP and Handling/Processing Fee) except the taxes and extra fees.

The tax was 6.25% as expected.

However, there was another section called Total Fee/Options for $182.05.

I assuming this is the tax, title, and whatever extra fees they tack on.

Does $182.05 sound right for extra feels beyond the MSRP, Dealer/Processing/Handling, and taxes, or is this too expensive?

Thanks.

 

Did you get some mats or some other small item that was not on the website price? $182 is not much--I have seen a lot worse...........

 

Yea man, some dealers down here try to rip people off big time. A certain dealership a guy i knew worked at was charing people about 2000$ for dealer fees. That is so stupid. I think i paid around 180$ when i got my car

 

I'm looking at my contract right now and there is an "Administration Fee" of $98.00. It's pre-printed on the contract, so at least I know I'm not paying more than anyone else.

 

No, I didn't get any mats or anything that wasn't in the website price. As far as I know, there is nothing extra.

I assumed the $182 was for license and title and maybe some dealer documentation fee. I'll ask the dealer to explain what those fees are before signing anything.

They also said it would take about 4 weeks for an Indigo Ink Pearl Manual. He said there were two destined for Austin which are already on a ship.

 

Good luck getting your IIP manual! Mine was unloaded yesterday and I have the VIN on my voicemail. Now it's 7-14 days to get from the dock to the midwest.

 

I think it is crazy how people have to wait so long to get the cars. The dealership I bought mine from, had a couple RS green xb's, and about 5 tc's and i think they have about 8 or 9 xa's.

 

I didn't have to wait - I just had to wait if I wanted a manual. I opted to wait a little longer for my first color choice since I was already waiting. Could have had my pick of a white, black, or flint xA off the lot if I wanted but I didn't want an auto.

 

I see. But even still, i have read on other posts that some people have to wait long periods of time for any Xa. I just went and got mine. It had 7 miles on it when i got it.

 

I think it really depends on the market. Subcompacts EXPLODED in places like the west coast when all the new models (Fit, Yaris, etc.) came out recently which gave the xA a lot more attention than it had in the past. In the midwest however, most people are still addicted to their trucks/suvs.

I know I'd have NEVER found the xA if I wasn't initally looking at a Honda Fit.
