Any input on this price I've been quoted for a 2017 premium in SoCal?
 

25,090 base
27,485 OTD

Feels like it's really difficult to get them to budge on prices here. Can't even get anything thrown-in. I've had three dealerships tell me they'll only match this price.

Supply and demand rules in pricing. If you talked to 4 dealers and that is the price then that is the price. Sounds reasonable anyway since these are not huge mark up cars.

Can't tell without knowing, is it Manual or automatic?

I was under the impression that Premium could only come in manual. But yes, it's manual.

I was quoted the same thing for a basic toyota 86. I'd say if you can afford it, it's a good deal (for new ofc)

Ah I didn't realize! Well it looks like invoice is $24,327.00. You can get more out of them I think :)

Regions dude regions. what you can get it for in NYC means nothing for the price in LA. If people want to know if they are getting a good price they need to check locally not ask others scattered all over the country.

Love this guy. That's true. But also, the meaning of "more out of them" in NYC could be $100, and in LA could mean $50. It's relative ;)

He has 4 dealers that have sat firm on the price. Getting more out of them at this point will probably be $0.

Then there's the answer!

LOL Exactly

Being that a 2017 limited manual is about 29,500-30,000 otd in norcal, premium at 2k less sounds about right to me. Don't know your tax rates though.

If you're not happy with the deal walk away. I feel like you probably wont do that since you're posting a thread here, so I'm sure you really want the car.

Your only option is to wait a few days as it's the end of the month. They might go lower. But to me it's take it or leave it.

When I was originally shopping for an FRS the three dealers I went to gave me the same price. There's not a huge margin on these cars. Luckily for me I managed to pay less for my Sport Tech BRZ than another Ottawa member paid for his Monogram FRS

travel. that dealership in colorada will probably go lower, and you get a nice trip out of the deal too.

Trips cost money.

It's within $100 of invoice +destination. I would take it, especially since they don't really go too low here on BRZs.

yup, but some of these places actually want to sell these cars, so you can save money even with the expenses of a trip.

If invoice is a grand less, all I'm saying is you'd have to make it a very low-budget trip to actually save any money in the literal sense. Airfare, hotels for a couple of nights, etc all get expensive quickly. And that's before you account for the value of your time. IDK about other people's out-of-state buying experiences, but depending on where you live and where the dealer is, you can end up spending a shitload of time at various DMVs sorting out paperwork nightmares.

Example: buying a car in Mass while living in Colorado, I must have gone to the CO DMV like three or four times (and each visit took several hours) just to get a temporary registration to Fedex to Mass so they could allow my car to leave the dealer's lot.

IDK. I just think it would be super easy to eat up any regional price advantage on other costs. A grand over invoice doesn't exactly seem like a price that justifies going to the ends of the earth-- it's not like when these cars were new and CA dealers were charging $30k for $25k MSRP cars...

It depends how much you are going to save. If it is far enough away you might need to book a hotel then if might not be enough. But Co to CA isn't that far and that dealer will pick you up at the airport too. It cannot hurt to make a phone call. Some of these dealerships are selling below invoice just because they want the numbers.

oh hey, it's like 2012-2013 all over again...
