2014 Scion FR-S Pricing and New Features Announced by Scion
 

I'm in the market of buying an FR-S and have been waiting for the official release of the 2014 changes, previously all the threads here stated it was just the upgraded radio and a $200 difference, but the link below shows that it will include the cushions. Another question is when do you think is the optimal time to snatch up a 2013 model cheapest?

Sorry, not sure why that link is blocked here, but copied the article below

"Secretly hidden away in a press release about how touchscreen audio systems will be standard in all 2014 models, Scion has officially released the pricing and new features for the 2014 Scion FR-S. An impressive 23,052 Scion FR-S have been sold starting more than a year ago in the U.S. to the end of July 2013. For the new model year, the 2014 FR-S line sees a $500 price increase, making the MSRP $24,700 for the MT and $25,455 with the $755 delivery, processing and handling fee. If you are interested in seeing what the 2013 pricing was, click here! The FR-S twin brother, the 2014 Subaru BRZ, also had its pricing announced of only a $100 increase to MSRP and two new features, click here for the BRZ details!

The 2014 Scion FR-S has two new standard features that do not change performance or exterior appearance:

2014_Scion_FRS_Knee_DriverView

Added comfort for both the driver and front passenger from new sport knee cushions that are located on the door panels and the sides of the center console
Scion Display Audio System featuring a 6.1-inch LCD touchscreen, AM/FM/CD/HD Radio™ technology, hands-free phone capability, music streaming via Bluetooth® wireless technology and AUX/USB port with iPod® connectivity
I foresee several 2013 #BRZFRS86 owners buying the knee pad for their current rides.

2014 Scion FR-S
Model Transmission MSRP MSRP + delivery, processing and handling fee
FR-S 6MT $24,700
$25,455

FR-S 6AT $25,800
$26,555

$755 delivery, processing and handling fee"

this is old news, the best time would be when the 14s starting arriving at dealers and the must move what 13s they have left... but you need to do ur hw now and see what dealers have the color/combo you want and are willing to work with you... the ballpark is around $1500 off msrp right now... there are a few threads on it...

Thanks for the info! If this info was posted here before already, MOD's please go ahead and delete this thread

My 2013 10 Series already had the Touch Screen Radio. All the Scions in the Southeast have started coming equipped with that.

Touch screens in a FR-S is a joke. The car is too jouncy. Only a small subset of FR-S users need the knee pads. The only reason to buy the 2014 FR-S IMO is the higher resale value at sale. If you are selling the car in ten years, it won't make much of a difference. If five years, then you would have to get on the order of a $2,000 discount on the 2013 to make it worth buying over the 2014. Of course, if it is on the edge of affordability for you, then go for the 2013. No sense getting into extra debt.

Yeah my roommate picked one up 2 weeks ago and his is a 2013 and has the new radio.

honestly, u probably wont need knee pads unless u are 5'10+ or have some** long sexy hair legs :lol:

I'm 6'3 and see no need for kneepads

well there ya go! :w00t:

Is it the same radio as the 2014 unit, or the Bespoke radio upgrade for 2013 models?

same radio, its the bespoke model

6'6'' and I'd be worried that the kneepads would take up precious space. I need every centimeter.

link to BRZ details not working for me.

Got $2,500 off the sticker price when I bought my 2013 three weeks ago. It didn't come with the touch screen radio (thank god) but I'm really digging those knee pads and I will be purchasing them and installing them soon. I rest my right leg against the center console and would love the cushion there.

I'm in the SE region.

What dealership discounted one of these?

Last I was told, Subie dealers are still marking theirs up and Scion supposedly can't sell for anything other than the MSRP.

i'm 6'3" and would suck a line of ****s for a kneepad.

around late june/early july when i was shopping around was at low 27 on a limited brz,

got "500" off a frs with the display radio included for free (wasn't on sticker).

The kicker was how much the scion dealer gave in trade.


net price was what i was looking for and after about an hour of haggling the dealer had doubled what was initially offered in trade (beat 10+ year old vw). Unfortunately due to mass laws it was a car i couldn't risk selling privately.

Well then .. Umm

In which case you would need knee pads.

2 birds with 1 stone

Hendrick Toyota / Scion in Fayetteville NC. Essentially, the discount got me all the "addons" for free and gave me a little bit off the base price on top of that. I heard about it from one of their sales reps late Friday afternoon and I was down there signing the papers in the early evening.

edit: They were also allowing the military and/or student discount. I can't remember which one it was but it was an additional $500. Sadly, I was unable to take advantage of either.

I just visited their website. My god! They load those cars down with every dealer option I think I've ever seen. Worthless Borla exhaust, even more worthless "paint protection", good lord. I hope they discounted the hell out of that crap.

What's the exchange rate?

Kinda like trading an STD for an STI.

I initially felt the same way. The Borla exhaust sounds great, but I'll probably remove it and sell it at some point if/when I "upgrade". There has been some confusion about whether or not it's a catback system or an axle-back system. Sadly, the dealerships I've spoke to don't seem to know either.

The "paint protection" is the invisible film that they put on the front hood and other places. I had this stuff on my STi (although it was the self-healing variety) and it was pretty awesome. Saved me quite a bit from the rock-chips and nicks I get from highway driving. They put it in several places all over the car, including under the door handles. That sounds kine of useless, but I have rock-hard finger nails that actually scratch the paint so I can appreciate this stuff a little more. :)

I also like the window tint and the stero upgrade (the non-Bespoke upgrade).

They did have one on the lot that had a $3,000+ GPS system in it. That was crazy as hell.

Invisible film? I saw it on the door edge of a car. I got the impression of a cheap clearbra type material. Is that reasonably accurate?
Legal window tint is one option I want also.
What stereo upgrade did they have other than Bespoke? I didn't know they had a different option.
It slays me how different the "rules" are at different dealers. Some are like "Options, what are you talking about?" They don't want to deal with upgrades at all. Others pack the car full of everything they can to the point where if there ever is a CARB legal supercharger, they would probably install it and smile all the way to the bank.

Yeah, it is definately a form of invisible film. There was some warranty paperwork that was included with it also but I don't recall the brand name.

The stereo "upgrade" was the iPod/MP3 Compatibility thingy. I recalled it as an upgrade, but it was really a $0 option. Sorry for the confusion.

When I get back from lunch, I'll bring my owner's manual (and window sticker) in with me and I'll post back the exact details of everything, including more info about the film.
