YEP!

One 46/48k due to buying into all the b.s. 'extras,' from the dealer.

Like rim guarantee, windshield protector...etc

Hope at least its lesson learned. It's painful at times, but a learning process.

I say i got jipped as i couldn't decide on the options but that total also included the 1.7k in sales taxed added on. So really I got the car for MSRP, just an extra ~1k on unwanted options. The clear bras did come in handy, though haha

I figured buying the car a month before it even reached our shores, i should be able to chose the options, but i'm sure there are many logistical reasons why that is incorrect.

$23.00 USD so thats about 33K CAD I think I paid 3 years ago or whatever it was

Options are added at port or by the dealer so you most certainly should be able to pick them. That said anybody trying to get one of the first would likely be told "take it the way we sell it or it goes to the next in line" so they sort of had you. If buying one now there would be no excuse for them to force options on somebody ordering a new car.

Here's a fun thread of people (myself included) hunting for deals in the first year:

The local dealership in particular marking up to $38k which would be around $40k-$45k OTD depending on how slick the finance guy was and the loan details.

$5k markups were common taking the car into $30k-$35k territory (sometimes over with TTL)

Looking at the prices I'm really glad I pulled the trigger on my BRZ for $17k. I got an amazing deal and didn't have to settle for a scion :happyanim:

wow that is insane, i did not expect a car designed to be a budget sport vehicle to receive markups like this. I got my 2013 last year for 20k before taxes with 1800 miles on it....thank you to whoever ordered it with the trd intake and exhaust :) they are lovely.

Ya watta be first, ya pays the price.
