How much did you pay for your Monogram FR-S

[Tea86]

I'm interested in purchasing my first car and I had a few questions.
1. Pure pricing, is there anyway to work around the price without a trade in?
2. How much did you pay?
3. What was your APR rate?
4. Any tips on negotiating on getting "free ad ons" ex: tint/warranty/led fogs etc etc

1. Normally no working on the price or the dealership can lose the rights to sell Scion cars. I have seen them work on the price after the car is a year old, however since the monogram came out a few months ago slim chance.

2. MSRP + Destination ($29,255) and a $200 dealership fee for paperwork and stuff.

3. my rate was 1.74% APR through a bank, Scion has a rate of 1.9%

4. You won't really be able to get something free, however they might be able to bring down the price a little. But they still need to make money off of it.

I can finish most of this thread for you:

1) Yes, depends on the dealership. A lot of the time, the "workaround" comes in the form of other throw-ins (e.g. - window tint, extended warranty).
2) ~$29,995 + tax, title, license (TTL) ~$1.5k for Texas IIRC, maybe $2k.
3) Toyota financing puts you in several "tiers" based on your credit score, with tier 1 being the best. Their rate is ~1.5% or so for tier 1.
4) Really depends on how often the dealership moves cars, whether the salesman is wanting to make the sale, etc. I was more concerned with finding a dealership I could build a reputation with rather than get some free parts from. Because of that, later on I got an alarm system at-cost to them. Some people believe in negotiation, some don't, and some fall in-between. Just depends on the dealer, the salesman, and many other factors. You could score a great deal just by going back a week later. Or a worse deal if they're idiots.

1. I got my price a little down from sticker price. $750 college rebate and an online deal from another local Scion dealership.
2. $27,400 for a Whiteout FR-S. (Whiteout is an additional $395)
3. 1.9%
4. Did nothing to try and get "add-ons" Monogram edition gets you 2 year Scion Service Boost, and that was good enough for me.

I leased to keep my monthly payments down since I'm 22 and insurance is a bitch. But I did discuss buying vs. leasing with the salesman
1. I used TrueCar through my Employer - but it's nut much use with Scion's Pure pricing. It brought the price down by about 400. I'm in NYC and this seems to vary by location based on the other dealers i checked through TrueCar.
2. The lease was based on the TrueCar Price, about 28900.
3. N/A - Leased. But as others said they have tiers. I have very little credit history so I wasn't in a top tier - 2.9% was quoted to me iirc.
4. I wanted Raven, and they only had Firestorm and Hot Lava, so they threw in a year of concierge service through the dealership if that counts.
