Is $1500 off MSRP on a 2013 reasonable?
 

My first post.

So close to the 2014's, but I can get $1500 off the full retail on a 2013. Is that a reasonable discount this late in the model year?

BTW, my wife of 30 years likes the BRZ/FR-S.

FR-S or BRZ? If BRZ, Premium or Limited? Where are you located?

If this is an FR-S, it seems like a good deal. If it is a BRZ, people have done better, but location makes a difference.

I'd say go for it. No major changes for 2014. I got $1000 off msrp in May. it would have been nice to get an extra $500 off! You can use the $1500 towards upgrades like trd exhaust, intake, spoiler, or more money in your pocket vs 2014. Plus warranty will be the same as a 2014.

i've only owned mine since Friday Aug 16th
i just tried myself after a week of haggling, best i got was $550 off of MSRP, i did however manage to get a deal for about $800 off but i would have had to wait 3+ weeks for a delivery and put a deposit down.. i took the other deal instead, and even after talking to the dealership i bought from.. i gave them the quote for the $800 off, they told me to buy from the other dealership instead because they won't do it due to the low profit margins

it all boils down to the dealership you buy from i think.. i live in Vancouver BC and out here the city population is over 2 million, and there is a stupid amount of money in this city (hence why last time i checked it was more expensive to live here than New York)

you may have to wait until the 2014's come out before you can get that kind of a price off or buy from a dealership in a rural area that can't get rid of the FR-S, but then you can't be picky about colour choices either

I'm in upstate NY. $1500 off on a Base BRZ and the same on a Base FR-S with TRD Exhaust and Spoiler.

I just bought a whiteout FR-S Friday for $1,000 off MSRP and came with all season tires, touchscreen and a spoiler, so $1,500 is a very good deal.

Those are both good deals IMHO. I would say look at both cars closely in person and decide which you want. If you wait a few more weeks it will be end of month and the dealer may move even more on the price.

I'd suggest you jump on that machine ..... before she changes her mind .... :D

That's a sweet deal. I still can't get anything below MSRP. Hopefully that changes soon.

Dealership was only willing to move $500 off price on mine, but they gave me what i wouldve gotten in private sale on my trade. Plus the car had the new display audio in the dash but no extra charge on the sticker for it.

Net price paid is the important part.

Get a BRZ from Clint Earhart instead dude. The guy will get you a premium and if he still has left maybe even a Limited for the same price of a FRS.

Heuberger Subaru. Look for Clint.

That is of course if don't mind waiting for the shipping or picking up your car from CO.

Even with shipping he still delivers lower than FRSs.

I was considering the FRS for a while, because it was cheaper and I was mod the crap out of the car anyways. But then I found this guy through these forums and it was no contest regarding to the price.

Xenon HID lights with mean looking LEDs, leather seats, keyless entry, push-to-start, dual zone auto climate control, Navigation, nicer looking interior finish, fog lights, spoiler and a Subaru badge are well worth it.

I utilized TrueCar.com on an FR-S and received nearly $1500 off MSRP in San Diego.

what zip code? all im seeing is 1k off.

I just google a bunch of zip code from San Diego area. After trying a coupe of them via Truecars.com the zip code from
Alpine 91901 - $1k off msrp
Del Mar 92014 - $1k off msrp
Spring Valley 91976 - $1k off msrp
p.s I'm looking for one too :D

anyone having any luck getting discounts on 10 series models?

Question i though scion's were no haggle price?? or did they change the rules

i was under that assumption too but im sure there will be room to haggle depending on the dealer and how bad they want to move their 13s when 14s start coming in... im actually surprised that they are offering discounts now when 14s havent even been announced yet?

I have seen dealerships near me have different pricing on FR-S models that have the exact same features. Pure Pricing = pure BS.

Even though they say there is no haggling, it can't hurt to try.

Toyota Of Poway - ask for Frank or Tony.

I live down in Imperial Beach - it was worth the 60+mile round trip. Scion Dealerships near my home told me "no haggle." So either they don't because they sell so many or, they don't sell enough to get preferred pricing from the factory.

The haggle is happening because it has a TRD spoiler and exhaust so that's the wiggle room. Pure Price really means the price they put on the sticker is the price on the contract, they can put anything they want on the sticker (including a $4,000 nav system in my experience) but there's an implicit rule that they don't add a "market adjustment" markup for no reason other than to gouge the customer.

Personally, $1500 off the TRUE msrp ($25,255-$1,500) is a great deal, don't pass it up, the '14s aren't going to be worth the price hike, especially if car touch screens annoy you. I don't care for spoiler and exhaust, after looking up the prices you're basically getting the aftermarket stuff for free, I'd still prefer a car without them even for the same price.

I'd highly advise focusing on the out the door price as compared to the value off of the 'MSRP'.

I ended up getting my Raven FR-S 6MT for $26,831.19 out the door (including some options that were thrown in for free, Lojack and a Ding Protection warranty for 1 year). I'm in the Southeast so I don't know if you can really compare with the Southwest, it's definitely a different market. But the point that I'm getting at is that I essentially got the car for about $25669.19 out the door (I paid $1162 extra so that i could have ding protection for a year and also for LoJack w/ Early Warning, definitely worth it as I'm notified if my car is moved without my keys within 5 minutes via phone, e-mail, and text). That's considerably lower than the MSRP listed on some of the FR-S at various dealers. However, dealers will often charge more for document preparation, registration transfer, dealer fees, etc to make up for the discount on the car's price. It's just important to not get sucked into looking for a low MSRP because you may end up paying more in the end if you do so. I lucked out that I bought mine at the end of the month, I got window tint, mud flaps, LED DRLs, and paint and interior protectant all included.

My local dealer here in Northern VA has 37 thats right 37 frs in stock. There internet price is $1600 off MSRP already even on basic stock models.

How much did you get OTD? how much off u got from MSRP? what transmission is it? I'm living in NorCal but I don't mind take the extra miles to save

window: $25,255
cash price: $23,698

discounted: $1,557

2013 FR-S M/T

dgm brz w/ fogs, wheel locks and bumper applique

sticker: 26,860
got it for: 25,300

Yep. I can attest to that. Just bought one of them. 6-speed red FRS is now mine. I bought it for 24,000 but it had the bumper applique on it so it was a little more than the stock ones which were going for 23,715

I forgot to mention, I got a lifetime warranty on the power-train for FREE from Toyota Of Poway ($250 deductible).

Whiteout with TRD Exhaust, Spoiler and trunk mat.
MSRP = $27069
Got it for $24499.

Does Frank or Tony from Poway have a direct number I can call? I'm looking for a good deal in SoCal.

When using truecar.com is there a way to see who the dealers and what the deals are before accepting to be contacted? I hate having to accept being contacted by a dealer I don't plan on buying from.

Call Ken Roberts, Internet Sales for Toyota Of Poway, directly on his cell phone @ 858-231-5719

Saw this yesterday in Lima, Ohio, Hot Lava 6MT with Scion Display audio:

If only I could upgrade to the 2014 version for $1500, aha

I didn't know we were able to negotiate on the pricing for the FRS. Don't they have that Pure Pricing thing?

You SCORED. Definately some good deals out there. As for the OP's question: $1500 off MSRP is a good deal ... again depending on the options and what the actual MSRP is. Usually .... the BEST deals are in december when the dealers are trying to sell off remaining 2013 inventory.

Pure price doesn't mean what everyone thinks it does. It basically means that what price the dealer advertises is the price you pay, if they put it online for $60k that does not violate pure price as long as they stick to that. If they put it up for $22k and you walk up to it and they added leather seats and now want $28k THAT is a violation of pure price and you can raise a stink, corporate will slap some wrists and if you're very lucky that will be the only sour grapes once you drive home in your new car.

It's not as good as it should be. Meanwhile I'm terribly jealous of all y'all:

10 series for the low low price of $31k plus taxes and fees!!!

I think so, specially since there is no difference on the 2014, except for the knee pad on the door

I think we be lucky getting MSRP of a Series 10 these days. Still looking for one and can't find it! GL to whoever does get a discount.
