Scion Pricing Changes?
#2
fees
I'm in SET and every single car from NC-FL has a $675 delivering/processing fee on it. Its always been that way. There are regions that don't have any fees. If you were to find the sticker of an older model you'd see that charge too, but it may have been less. Its a Toyota thing, not just Scion

Ok, every single car sold in the US, bar none, has a freight charge on it. They vary from region to region, and they may even use slightly different terminology, but I promise you, it's normal.
Look at this way, can you mail a post card without a charge? No. Why should a 1.5 ton vehicle be delivered for free? The trucking companies, just like the dealers, are not charity outfits.

Yep. Just to clarify, the only fees added to my vehicle (on the sticker) were: "Delivery, processing, handling" of $580 (or destination as referred to by others)... this matches what scion.com would say or what edmunds or whatever else...
Other charges added were just TTL and a $55 doc fee for me. (Yes, I just double checked my sales ticket)

I think some of us are talking about two different things. Delivery charge is on the window sticker, and is part of the total MSRP at the bottom right corner of the sticker. "Dealer Prep" sounds like some kind of bogus version of a markup. I believe prepping the vehicle is factored into the MSRP according to manufacturers. So, if dealers are adding figures above and beyond the MSRP, thats crap.

You are talking about two different things.
Every Toyota and Scion has a destination charge. On Scions, it has been $580, and is about to go up to $620.
A dealer prep fee is what would be known as an "ADM". This stands for additional dealer markup. They may give you a service for that money (window etch, dent repair, paint sealant), but not all do.
As for the covenant, they can charge what they want, as long as it is what they post, and EVERY customer pays the same price. Most dealers won't ADM Scions, because they would just price themselves out of the market versus the competition. In the case of the independant distributors, they set the prices for their whole area.
