Used FR-S showing up on Cars.com

Ah...just bought that new FR-S and it wasn't all that you thought it could be. Sell it now! Dealers are selling them for almost $30,000 used.

I looked out of curiosity last week and no results. I noticed an ad displayed from cars.com on google ads and clicked on it and bam! 5 cars listed. Cheapest one is $26,125 hahahah.

I wonder what people's reasons for selling it are. Make a profit? Don't like the car? Can't afford it?

This price gouging is pathetic.

They could be trying to get their taxes and fees back on some. Others are just trying for cash.

I am in @Snoopyalien24 area. That Subaru dealer is not the closest one to me, its the third closest. Just so you get an idea, I did not get the car from them or the first two closer dealers, I had to get it from the fourth closest dealer (75 miles) because of stupid dumb dealers who at March 11 had no idea how to order the car, or were not doing pre-orders to get them in and mark them up.

Quick story! I actually work about 50 miles from that Subaru of Pembrooke Pines dealer, called March 11 to pre-order guy on the phone tells me yeah come in, we'll pre-order it for 1K deposit. I had to leave work early to make it before they closed through bad traffic. When I got there, another seller (david) meets me, I explain he tells me "oh we still don't know how are we going to handle the cars, if pre-ordering or not) I was like WTF, I left work early to make it and pre-order and guy on the phone said I could. Guy on the phone was sitting besides us and says oh yeah sorry, my manager said after you called we were not doing pre-orders. David proceeded to tell me yeah I'll write your number and we will call you when we have more information, you are the first person so interested on the car. I'm still waiting on the call LMAO..... Talk about AMAZING customer service!

Edit: I was getting a Subaru, they are two dealers together Subaru and Lexus of Pembrooke Pines

We have a road here that is a dedicated car dealer of all kinds. Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, and Dodge. In Pembroke Pines it's the more expensive brands like Audi, BMW, Benz, Subi, Lexus, Jaguar, etc.

Yeah I have no idea as I have not even bothered to contact them anymore after I called them 3 times the same day and they failed to tell me that the even had ended after we went all the way over there.

I am also waiting for the e-mail/phone call on when they were getting a BRZ that can be seen in person on the showroom floor. They agreed on giving me a call/ sending me an e-mail and still waiting lol. They do send me offers about Lexus, still, I don't care. Maybe that's why I don't see many Subaru's down here
