Biggest ripoff - stealership stories anyone?
Searched but didn't find anything. So i went to this stealership today ( Toyota of Hollywood - Florida [admin feel free to delete the stealership's name if you want]) They had a white FR-S for sale. They asked 33.000 for it! Well.... If it would had the JDM front lights and push start button with the Nurburgring body kit I would have take it but whatevs)
So the car itself was $28.000 ( only extra I saw was the premium head unit) and they were charging $5000 for after market wheels! FIVE THOUSAND!!! Where they Volk Te 37s? No... Enkei RPF1 SBC? No.... anything good or rare? NO! TSW wheels! They go for $175 each!!! I remember when they charged 3 grand for 18" TRD gloss black wheels around 2007 for a tC. But now? I understand they get expensive tires even if they are not that good tires. But they really need to charge $3000 for mount and balance? And the picture of the gorgeous rims |

...maybe they have super gripy tires on the ugly rims?
Also my stealership story. So the car I was looking at prior to getting my FR-S was an 08 NISMO 350. They had it up on autotrader for $27,495 mostly because it only had 8k miles. So I went to look at it and the car had stick on carbon fiber on the mirrors and all over the interrior. When I asked them what they would want out the door for it after explaining I would have to get that fake carbon fiber removed they told me they wouldn't budge on the price and after tax/tag/title it would be 33k out the door. I told the dealer he had lost his fucking mind and walked out. The dude tried calling me back asking if there was any other Nissan/Infiniti I would be interested in. I told him yeah, but not from your rip off dealership and hung up. Don't go to Infiniti of South Atlanta. |

Maybe its just me but I don't find those rims not that bad
A subaru dealership listed a BRZ Limited for $34,999 stock. Does that count?

yeh...I've seen a lot of those "upgraded" FR-S at dealerships with crazy markups. One salesman told me that's how they get around the "Pure Pricing" of Scion and make more money.
I saw a BRZ spoiler installed on a FRS and they wanted $1500 upcharge for it. |

Ironically I have people come in and request the body kits and related items at a fair price.
Five Axis Kit w/ Spoiler @ $2400. installed (MSRP is $1400 unpainted, $700 paint from Five Axis, $300. install) |

Hell I think I would rather have these "rims"...
Granted they add over 9000 to the price. |

I paid $34000 out the door for a whiteout 6MT with all options and the full Five Axis Edition car which includes body kit, wheel, tires, paint, etc etc etc.
A bit overpriced I know but totally worth it. Not to mention it's got boost now as well.

Ive been doing some thinking on the topic of dealerships and their $38000 FR-S's(one near me has this)...I think they do it to keep one in the showroom in an attempt to get people to order one versus just handing out a brochure because they sell in hours or days. And if some fool decides to pay the triple marked up accessories, score for them.

Do you know if the hood scoop is functional or just cosmetic?

Should run a quarter at around 300mph in 3 seconds, if it can hook up. Luckily those side-skirts add 1 million pounds of downforce.
