Asphalt 6MT FR-S

[Symbiont]

There is an one available at Tustin Scion. Don't let them charge you over msrp.

I went and saw the car yesterday. I would've bought it myself but the dealer wanted to give me way too little money for my trade in.

Have you tried getting a quote from Carmax? Most of the time, dealerships give to little for the trade in. Were they giving you MSRP for it?

Yep they were giving me MSRP. Told me about the pure price policy etc. It had two port installed options which were the trunk mat and the rear bumper sticker. I'm gonna try Carmax today after work.

I have an Auto. Tell your friends!

Is that the same Auto listed in your sig? How did you get a 2995 leather option?

I would also like to know this. A dealer near me tried selling me one like this and I walked away thinking they had a local hook-up that they have a deal with that does custom crap re-upholstering that would try selling for a rediculus marked up price.

[Symbiont]

Yeah, that Asphalt is the one I was waiting for. Ended up going with the SWP BRZ instead. I'm extremely happy they aren't marking it up.

[MrFRsLa]

To answer your guys questions. Yes, we have added leather to both our FR-s that we have in stock. As reguards to crap I would say "No". But who am I to judge, I won't be the one driving it.

As far as REDICULUS MARKED UP price, are you kiding me? Nissan GT-R's still to this day have 10k mark up stickers on them.

The question you should be asking yourself is : Is this car really that good to pay an extra $2995 for it to come with Leather?

Lets face it guys, these cars are the G.I. Joe's and Cabbage Patch Kid's or the car market right now.

BTW you should also mind my track record here on the forum. I have been very willing to answer everyones questions in regards to this car. And be upfront and honest to what the market might to do as well as the availability of color choices and transmissions.

And if you recall, the hype around Cabbage Patch Kid's died off really quick.

Trying to exploit a short-lived fad, or a short-term deficiency in supply, will only lead to short-term gains and long-term losses. There will be many more people turned off from that buying process than those that are not. And being up-front with people from the beginning only goes so far.

Sure, this is capitalism and people have a right to do what they can to make a buck. But capitalism is as much about weeding out bad practices as it is about rewarding good ones.

I wasn't directing "crap" and "ridiculous" towards you. I was talking about Capitol Toyota in San Jose who is charging $32k for a manual with leather. Btw, Why did your dealership decide to add leather? I'm seeing more and more dealerships starting to do this and then somehow its value becomes more than brz limited. When I told the dealer at Capitol that I might as well go for a brz for the price he was giving me his argument is that Toyota is more reliable and that the frs was based off the "initial d car".

I personally know people from Capital Toyota. I used to live in Willow Glen a year and a half ago. I am no here to defend anyone. Demand dude demand.

[rcm47]

Supply and demand, yes, but no one demanded leather in the FRS. I think that dealerships are doing this because they want to charge a mark up but mark ups are frowned upon so they're using aftermarket products they got for cheap to cover it up.

I see MrFRsLa is feeling the love over here on this thread as well.

You got some thick skin dude...

I heard Without Me by Eminem on the road on the way home while I was thinking about this forum could help but thing how these lryrics applied to me.


"Now this looks like a job for me so everybody just follow me
cuz we need a little controversy,
cuz it feels so empty without me"

Hope you get a chuckle out of that.

Where's the "demand" for FR-S with leather?
You may be alright(and by the sounds of it, young) but your dealership sound like a bunch of idiots. Those cars could already be gone and cash in the dealers pocket, instead they're still available.

If the "demand" was there like your claiming, NOBODY would be balking at paying above MSRP, and paying for leather, and those cars wouldn't still be there.

[itsibarra]

I stopped by Carson Scion last week, they called me and said they had the Asphalt FRS i've been searching for. Went in with high hopes....

Then see the car covered all around with the paint protection film leaving those unwanted lines across the hood and bumper, and in an AT when i specifically asked for MT. I demanded to have them not contact me anymore.

If somebody wants leather then they have an FRS with leather. Seriously, bro, who cares. I, personally, don't want leather, but I know lots of people that would prefer leather. Some people are going with BRZ because of the luxuries or whatnot. What if they have a Toyota and want ot trade it in for an FRS instead of going with a new brand all-together? Lots of thing to take into accound.

Btw, good on ya, MYFRSLA

[Pscylo]

I personally always found it interesting that people consider leather to be a luxury item. I suppose, if you dont live where the avg temp and or humidity is always high enough to make the seats smoldering or sticky...

Had leather in a couple cars, looked good, especially after maintenance, but damn did they make my back sweat on long drives.
