There were threads started by members here of markups without added features. In other words straight markups. This was during initial release/first allotments. May be different now.

I wonder if they pre cut the clear bra like that to be able to fit the BRZ as well? Kinda dumb not to cover the entire front bumper.

I see the Datsun 200sx isn't getting any love in here. Nissan's S platform dates back a lot further than the S13. I think 5 generations in all for the U.S. market and 6 counting the S15.

"pure pricing" is Scion's term for no haggling. Dealer's advertised price is what you pay. Has nothing to do with MSRP. Toyota won't do anything.

So there's no slider in the B pillar to move the seat belt up and down? I thought pretty much all cars come with them now. Guess it adds too much weight.

Yes they can and have. Looks like a lot of non first 86 car are currently being markup as high as $7000. Pure pricing is Scion's term for no haggling and has nothing to do with MSRP.

For my taste, this is the best looking exhaust. Hopefully it's a quality piece, sounds nice, and performs because I'm not buying an exhaust for aesthetics alone.

For it to work as OP posted. Toyota would have to foot the bill for shipping to #87's preferred dealer. It's a sh*tty situation without an easy solution.

13.2 gal tank. Avg fill up, 11-12 gal. 12 x $0.20 = $2.40 or $7.20/month if you fill up three times a month. I suggest you skip a lunch each month if you can't afford that.

I was really liking the 5A lip spoiler, but now seeing it next to a naked trunk, I'm thinking a more low profile/less duck bill lip might look better. Hopefully there will be plenty of options.
