Just bought my Yaris, was I ripped off?

How can you feel at all like you got a bad deal when the total markup in the car is only about $600? The salesperson has to feed his family. The dealership has to pay their expenses as well. If anyone is griping about paying sticker for this car, they need to rethink just how good of a car they got for such a good price.

you feel bad for a car salesman? or a car dealership with potentially millions of dollars in inventory
true, having a new car is a luxury, not a necessity and you should pay for everything that goes along with it, but that doesn't mean you should just give away money.

Very wrong thinking here....the mark up may be $600 but what you don't know is that there are many factory incentives paid to the dealers...my friend works at a dealership in Orange County, and so believe me, the mark up is MUCH MORE then $600...even under MSPR, they often make a lot more $$ then you might think...often volumne discounts come into play too....they are all crooks....

And why is the salesmen's family my concern...everybody knows that they are salemen because they F'd off back in high school or didn't go to college...its a job for dum asses, man....you worry about your family and let him worry about his ;-)
