It is a fast selling car, until effin greed hogs mark it up.

This is probably the only time they can mark it up until next year models come out. :sigh:

Well, law of supply and demand.

I went to piercey toyota to get my taillight order.

Some dude bought the fiveaxis edition frs with the 38 grand mark up lol

2 available frs on piercey

Raven AT
Asphalt MT

Both at MSRP ......for now Lol

:eyebulge:
Still have all of theirs marked up to 27-34k from what I can see, do people actually buy these at >27k?

i guess so. 1 dude bought the FiveAxis Edition FRS, mark up 38k :eyebulge: damn lol

Diablo Subaru has a white Ltd auto:

Price:*$31,365 plus tax, dmv, $80 doc, $8.75 CA tire.

Another shipment just arrived?

I believe so, there should be another round filtering out over the next two weeks from what I could tell. Maybe mine will be on this boat :bonk:

Someone stop me before I get optimistic...

Did you call SOA?

Not interested in Navigation unit so I'm speaking solely about Scion; I consider wheel locks, trunk mats, and "rear bumper appliques" as dealer markups because I do not want them and they exist solely to add profit margin without violating "pure price" which doesn't actually exist, it's just a marketing gimmick. See page 16 for my prior rants.

I bought mine from Piercey with markups pushing it to ~30K.

I don't regret it at all, even though it was overpriced. The stuff I ended up with wasn't bad and it let me get my FR-S a lot faster. (I had been on 3-4 waiting lists and had 2 deposits down for stock ones since the car was announced, and nothing had ever come of it)

I'm pretty sure Piercey is marking all of theirs up, but you might be able to talk to Tak (the fleet manager) and choose your markups for incoming cars if you're willing to pay more.

They pretty much mark up the add ons too. like for the five axis wheels which usually cost 1500-2000 from online retailers, they price it at 3000+, same with the body kit.

Yeah, I'm well aware of that. I stayed away from the body kit and TRD exhaust for that reason.

I ended up with leather seats (which are really nice, they even kept the FR-S red coloring near the shoulders) and BeSpoke (which sort of sucks given its price point).

If I had gotten the seats/head unit somewhere else, I probably could have saved a good chunk of money. But the seats are quality and BeSpoke I can live with, so it doesn't feel like I got entirely ripped off. It's all about finding the right balance between a full wallet and happiness. :)

That's literally the first positive endorsement I've heard for the seats and aftermarket stereo. As long as you're enjoying it, keep rockin' on. I'm going to buy mine for $24,955 or not at all. Minus $1,000 for recent graduate of course.

The Katzkin feels very nice, doesnt feel like cheapo leather. as for the bespoke, i always do bluetooth streaming, so i can live with it. Im not much of an audio guy. If i want a good speaker/sound system, might as well buy home theater system. the car was made for driving around, not for you to rock on your justin bieber tunes.:D

♫ If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go ♫ :lol:

Was literally gonna head out my door to pick up the red MT in Santa Rosa, but someone beat me to it.

Gonna keep looking for a red MT.

The secret to happiness is low expectations. :D

Pretty much, if this dealer jerks me around I'll either end up with vintage 911 or a beater RX7.

:thumbup:

Anyone who pays more than MSRP is an idiot or they have so much extra cash they should give me some!

Its funny when i got my fr-s, the dude offered my a demo car that had 5k miles in it already, called it brand new, and was MSRP. Smh

I don't really appreciate being called an idiot. :(

Well it's nothing personal, but I wouldn't go to McDonald's and pay more than what they normally charge for a cheeseburger. Why would I go to Scion and pay more than they charge for a car?

If you have a bunch of cash and nothing else to spend it on why not I guess.

Where did you buy your car if you don't mind me asking? I haven't seen many AT FR-S with mark-ups.

There is still an Argento manual at Yuba City Scion. Been there at least a month.

Does it have "dealer installed" options?

Piercey, marked up with the standard dealer stuff and leather seats.

With McDonald's, it's a bit different. There are many substitutes for a cheeseburger - if they mark it up, I could just go to In-N-Out, Burger King, Carl's Jr, etc. To me, it's much more different with cars. Sure, I could have spent less money and gotten a Miata or Genesis, but neither of those is the FR-S. I also could have spent less money and gotten a BR-Z, but that would have been pure mark-up with nothing in return. I definitely also could have waited several more months (I've been waiting since May) and eventually gotten a stock one.

It's all about opportunity cost. None of those options were particularly appealing to me given that the additional price of buying the FR-S on the spot didn't push the car out of the budget I had set when going on my new car search. It also helped that an Asphalt AT is the exact color and transmission I had been wanting since the beginning (passed up 3 or 4 Firestorm ones in the waiting cycle). And the markup price? There's plenty of other places I can save money - sure, maybe instant ramen isn't the greatest, but driving the FR-S to the grocery store to pick it up now sure is. :D

I don't feel that it's fair to label everyone willing to pay over stock MSRP as uber-rich or mentally challenged. For a purchase as large as a new car, most people probably put some thought into balancing out their happiness vs what they're paying, and reached a decision they're comfortable with. :)

Exactly McDonald's marked up the cheeseburger and you don't like BK, In-n-out (Genesis, Miata) so you paid the marked up McDonald's price.

I didn't actaully mean to call anyone names... I call lot's of people idiot's (including myself). It's really not personal, trust me! IMO we are all idiots for one thing or the next.

My main anger is with dealers doing this.

Ah, I phrased that poorly. What I was implying was that a cheeseburger doesn't have very much differentiation whereas a substitute for a particular car doesn't give the same sense of satisfaction that a cheeseburger from a rival chain might.

Well, some people might treat cars interchangeably, but I think we're all on this board because we think the FR-S/BRZ is something special. :)

I can understand why dealers add on all the extra junk also - the car is rare enough right now that it's guaranteed to be sold (even the 38K one, apparently!). They might as well try to make as much money as possible off of it. That's just business.

Yep, and profit is profit!

It has clear bra and tinted rear windows. Talk to Sue Vang, he sold me mine and is a good guy.

In this case I'm sure the tint costs like $900.

Last I looked it was MSRP

http://yubacityscion.com/Yuba-City-C...-Car/14498459/

Wrong, that car is listed at above MSRP per the link you just posted.

Fine, don't buy it!

I won't I already have one (that I paid less for!)!

That's not a crazy price though if someone is in a bind and can't wait.

It's been sitting on the lot for a month so I would imagine they would deal.

Yeah, it's strange to see a manual car sitting that long.
