I've been reading the boards now for weeks and envy all of you and wish I could contribute, but unfourtunately I don't own a tC.... yet.
I'm in the research phase right now and have gone so far as to contact my local Scion dealer (Naples, Fl) about a test drive. They said that they only have one tC in stock and guess what? It's on the showroom floor and is only available for sit down demo... All there tC inventory was sold within 3 days, they kept one for the showroom and just sold that one today
)
So basically, if I decide to buy one. I won't be able to take a test drive.
Anyway, what I would like to know is, what was your experience with the dealership like?
For those who ordered, did you print out what you wanted from a site like this or Edmunds.com and take it to the dealership? Is it that easy? The people at the dealership made it sound that way....
Also, is the "what you see is what you pay" as the Scion website says really true? There is no way to widdle the salesman/women down a few hundred dollars?
My situation is this:
Paying Cash, but won't let the salesman know that untill/if I can get the price that I like. My trade is a heap, I'll be lucky if I get $100 for it
.
I'll be happy if I pay less than 18k, because I want the auto tran
. Is that reasonable or should I expect to be paying more with the fees etc....?
Any help welcome!
