Biggest markup you've found thread!

Guys, I think I found the most expensive FR-S in the country!



Ohh do I love south Florida! lol

And I believe I won at this competition lol

I think this is frowned upon by scion correct?

Wow.... As people have said in other threads crap like this puts the car out of its own market, I could be looking many different cars for that price.

Doesn't and STI go for about that also? That's just dumb. Kinda makes me want to wait longer to get that kind of stuff out of the way.

That's ridiculous! I'll buy an Evo X for that price. The sad thing is there is a moron that will buy this car.

I guess a used FR-S will be the MSRP price for them.

Wouldn't worry about it, in 6 months these marked up cars will be going for MSRP. 6 months after that, less.

Great that's the second south florida dealer I've seen with a huge mark up. I'm mentally preparing myself for when I have to walk away from the one I have a deposit on at kendall toyota.

its a silly markup but you cant blame them for trying. the ones who have the money will spend it if they really want one before everyone else does.

How about a 1991 Acura NSX for cheaper than that?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1991-...item33756e9a78

So many cars in that price range come to mind for $37k OTD...

Scion vehicles are mono-spec, and customers can personalize their car with accessories. See the accessories section for available products. Vehicle prices include destination fee. Actual selling price may be subject to a dealer mark-up and/or documentation fee. View Vehicle Search to obtain detailed pricing.

Just came back from Burlington Toyota that has 5 unsold frs's coming in and they told me they are adding 7 grand to the price! I told them I'm outta here, what a joke. I did a online chat wi scion themselves about their practices and they basically blew me off like o well. No frs for me!

Okay thanks, I checked on the Kansas area webpages I had previously looked at, and they don't have that clause.

However, its clearly advertised as 24,9xx on the dealer website. That may be grounds for a call to corporate to let them know this dealership is not playing exactly by the pure pricing rules. Might be worth a shot.

If my dealership tried to do that to me, I'd have a hard time not hurdling the desk.

Honestly, that's a slap in the face.

For well under the cost of that mark up, you could fly across the country to a dealer who will sell you the car at MSRP and then drive it home.
Don't pay any mark up. Find another dealer.
