I know that Scion says Pure Pricing but a salesperson told me that a $189 "documentation fee" was added ontop of tax and title. I presume this is kosher? Did you guys pay a doc fee?

The salesperson said it was "OK" by Scion rules.

 

I didn't pay any extra fees :? :? :?

 

Every dealer charges a documentation fee. Usually between 100 and 200 bucks. What are you getting for that fee? Usually the majority of it is for them to file all your paperwork with the credit company and with the manufacturer. The rest is to send the guy to DMV to get your registration/title, etc... Its a way for the dealers to bloat up some figures to make more money. If its anymore than 200, then its definitely not kosher. Due to the pure pricing, it has been rumored that some dealers are trying to charge 500 and up for the doc fee to make more money...If they do, run to another dealer. My dealer was 129 for the doc fee and an extra 96 for the registration and title. :D

 

Only $60 at Carson.....that was it

Ask for Adrianne, if you call.

tax fir me was about 1087 (philly tax 7%)

and 157 for tags. the only fees i paid. i assume its in there the doc fee

 

car price + tax + tag + processing fee + tire disposal <---

 

Now you know how the dealers get around "pure pricing". Documentation fees should be called "Additional dealer profit fees". You don't pay a documentation fee when you buy any other item, so there's no reason to pay one for a car. Move on to a dealer that doesn't have them. The cars are the same at every dealer.

 

so whats the lowest price you can possibly buy a xB in florida?

 

I have tax ($489), tags (50), and processing fee (18 on my paper.

 

I'll wager that the processing fee is a junk fee.

 

Cash Price of vehicle 15085
Document Fee 45
Sales Tax 1096
License Fees 152
California Tire Fees 5


Not to Bad, Iguess just the tax was the bad part.

wahts the tax % in CA?

 

It depends upon where you live. LA county is 8.25%.

 

7.75% in San Diego.

Our dealer charges a doc fee of like $45 or $60 for all the DMV processing.

 

I didn't pay any fee other then taxes and tag.

 

they do charged document fees...u just didnt pay attention to it...

usually they chage 40-60 bucks...since they have to "HELP" you with DMV registration

 

What a bucket. This IS ADP. They have delivery and destination fees of like $500. My dealer through in an undocumented $50 documention fee.. and I live in a diff state, so I'm doing all the documentation.. PLUS they had title and tires seperate. bucket bucket bucket.

Edit -- the dealer dropped the document fee and the tire fee and the title fee etc.
I did a little swearing over the phone because of an honest mixup on their part, but I think it scared them and I ended up paying sticker + tax + $25 temp tags (diff state) and that was IT. I'm very happy with my deal. /edit

 

My dealer charged $45 for documentation fees.

 

Oh man, I forgot this thing is going to be TAXED! Hahaha, I guess I somehow thought something like buying a brand new car wouldn't be eligible for sales tax :oops:

Please, don't mind me, I'm going to go sit back in my corner...

 

Maybe I am wrong ? I was under the impression that Scion had already added some fees into the price of the vehicle, thus the dealer should not charge any additonal fees. I know my dealer does not charge any additional fees ! They are straight up forward .....

I would contact SCION directly on their 800# and speak to a customer service agent and make a complaint ~ Dealers should not be allowed to get away with this, there are plenty of other dealers to buy from who will not charge any bogus fees !

Just my 2 cents ....
