Question about payment
 

would the only way to pay MSRP ($24,955) without any dealer markups, be to order one online and have it delivered to a dealership??


EDIT: so lemme correct the title. Not payment, but price.

A Scion dealer should be charging MSRP + any port options. However some of them are doing "Market Adjustments" and adding non-standard options and thus raising the price.

You should expect to pay MSRP + port options + tax, title, tags, and whatever your dealer DOC fee is. If the dealer wants more than this walk away.

There may be other forms of payment accepted if you're willing to stoop to certain things. ;)

I bought mine with dealer add-ons: leather interior (my skin will hate me in this heat..), 18" wheels and tires to match, tinted windows, and the clear bra. I figured I was gonna tint my windows eventually and I didn't quite like the stock wheels, so they're basically doing the work for me. The total MSRP came out to be ~31k.

alright so lets say i want one with no port options, i would then only be paying for MSRP plus tax tags etc right?? because in the end, I want to be adding any extras to the car if i get it :)

Yep, at least that's how it's supposed to be with "Scion Pure Pricing." As I understand it though, you need to figure out which dealerships are actually GETTING any FR-Ss and then order one through them. Wait times depend on color/transmission.

Amirite?

sounds good! thanks for the responses! :)

What you will most likely find is that at port Scion is loading the cars up with various options (tint, paint protection, mudflaps, etc). I would be surprised to hear that any dealer gets them without some additional options on them without placing a special order for one.

I was in a similar boat to you, I wanted a bone-stock, no-options UltraMarine 6MT.

In the end, I ordered one and it was delivered ~1.5 months later.

As for cost, it will be MSRP + Delivery fee + Dealer prep fee + TTL.

It really depends on your state taxes and such but I was able to procure mine for about $26K out-the-door.

gotcha. Thanks!

Go to www.autotrader.com and look for FR-S's in your area (or further out if you want/need to). See who has what for what price. If you are flexible on color and transmission, you should be able to have one within a week or so at MSRP.
If you're in the midwest, I've seen a few of them sitting on lots for well over a week in the STL area.
It worked for me.

A local Scion dealer told me that if you put an early deposit on a car that's not yet at the port, they can request that the car is sent over without any of the additional add-ons. In the end though, they wanted $700 in dealer fees that they wouldn't budge on (another BS "fee" that you shouldn't pay btw), so I drove to Wisconsin and back to pick up my BRZ for less than the cost of their dealer fees.
