What my local dealer told me...
I went to my local dealer to see a fr-s take came in. but the owner had already taken delivery. The salesmen told me they have another coming inbetween the 15/17 and the sticker price is 25995. So I said it's a auto? No a stick. So why the 1000 over msrp?(the guy knew I was going for a the grad program before hand) he said let me go check. I saw him go outside and finish with a family that just bought a rav4.
He comes back in and told me the price is actually 25250. I asked my the mark up over msrp and what happen to scion pure price, his answer was since it was one for the first 86 they can do that. So I got his card and walked out. Can the dealer really mark it up because of being a first 86? And he wanted a deposit too. But how can I put a deposit on a car who is being brought for someone that won it in a contest? Idk I didn't get any straight answers from him. |

Pure Price = Advertised/Posted price is what you pay. It doesn't mean MSRP... but ya, over/under MSRP is frowned upon (of course) by corporate.
It may just have added items. The base price of the car: Manual $24,930. Carpet Cargo Mat $95. If Whiteout, $220. (paint color) So the MSRP would be $25,245. No mark up there, just the typical arrangements as per factory pricing (as itemized above). All of our incoming FR-S are ordered the same way (obviously only +$220. on whiteout models). We order all of our Scions in with the carpet mats/cargo mat. The $220. has been consistent across all Toyota/Scion models with a Pearl White paint. |

That sounds about right then. It is a whiteout. But I found it weird that he couldn't explain it to me like that and came up with a made up excuse.

Well I really just want to sit in one before I make a deposit. I'll drive it when mine comes in. i'm 5'11 with a 40 waist so I want to be sure i'm comfy in the seat before I get excited and put in a order for one just to find it's to tight for me in there.
