2013's ?
 
When I was looking for my car I had been offered a 2013 10 Series that was new in the lot at Merced Toyota. I never bought it. Went with 2015 in San Diego. Are the 10 series that unpopular to not be purchased? Mind boggling to me. I still go to the Merced dealer to look around when bored and its still there.

2500 may have been too many to sell as an FR-S limited edition. Scion seems to be reducing the number each time (2000 for Monograms, 1500 for RS1.0). Obviously they see that they aren't selling the numbers they predicted.

What killed the 10 Series is barely 6-months later they came out with the Monogram. And for $25 less on MSRP you could get Alcantara/Leather heated seats, Nav, spoiler, a rear seat armrest ;), and your choice of color.

Plus free removal of the ricetastic light up badges, because the Monogram comes without them in the first place.

I actually like those, but not for the price. Plus that color is ugly IMO.

A light pearl silver that shimmers blue is ugly? To each his own..........

Yep, 10 series owners really should have been compensated somehow. They got screwed. I actually feel bad for them.

stevethuro 12-01-2014 12:28 PM

I like mine. Got is for 24k too!

Braces 12-01-2014 01:09 PM

The FRS is such a good deal at 25K, but is pushing the threshold at 30K.

Made me chuckle!

Bummmer!!!! I like the switches in there. Oh well too late.

FirestormFRS 12-01-2014 10:06 PM

The color.....that color just has no appeal. There are 2 10 series on the lot near here. They came from another lot that abandoned Scion.

Damn that sounds sad as hell.

The Toyota 86 starts at 30k in Australia. But at that price it's an absolute bargain.

Considering that...

WRX costs 40k AU
GTI costs 40k AU
MX5 costs 45k AU
370Z costs 60k AU
Boxter costs 110k AU
M3 costs 150k

I bought my 10 Series in August of 2014 for $23,500 and I absolutely love the car. I had originally wanted a Monogram, but couldn't find one locally and the difference in price between Scion's 'Pure Price' on the Monogram and my negotiated price on the 10 Series was massive. I would have rather had a current model year, but the FR-S is a much better proposition at $23,500 than $28,300. The biggest surprise for me has been the color! I was originally on the fence, but there's really nothing like it on the road and I get excited when I look at the car in different light - it's actually a really cool color!

The 10 Series cars were produced late in the 2013 model year and had most of the early TSBs already addressed - they're solid cars and, light-up badges aside (there is a switch that shuts them off, by the way), they're a steal! Get one - you won't regret it!

No doubt - you've got a killer car and, while you may have paid a few thousand dollars more, you also have two years less depreciation! Enjoy it - these cars a blast!

strat61caster 12-02-2014 04:22 PM

Only reason it's still sitting is the pricetag, >$30k for a 200 hp 2-door car?

Who cares if it's got glowing badges and keyless whatever, you can pick up a Mustang GT with more than double the horsepower for equal money.

If they chop that down to $25k-$26k it would sell before the year is out, hell they may be able to get $27-$28 with an unsuspecting buyer who is smitten. But it's delisted now maybe somebody bought it.
