Park Place selling supercharged FR-S for $35K?!
 

I love to browse at Park Place (in Bellevue) online and put together my fantasy car collection. They always have cool stuff.
I just noticed a new arrival: a 2013 FR-S with an Innovate supercharger, wheels, tails, and some other mods. Maybe somebody on here traded it in, I dunno. Nice car.

But what do you guys think? Isn't that pretty much paying full price for the mods from a dealer on a used car? I just was shocked at an FR-S for that much dough but maybe it's worth it.

Park place always overpriced their cars. Never buy from there.

Well, listed prices are not the same as sell prices ...

actually it is. also depends on certain factors such as ACV or actual cash value that the dealer paid for the vehicle at time of trade in. also they base the prices on what a similar vehicle sold for at a different dealer or the auction.

Someone's inquired about that car, and subsequently taking it to me to get it "tuned right." I politely refused, and he's apparently starting off with a used stockish one instead.

My 2 cents!

But how bad can it be this time around?

I don't know. I didn't ask. Only said that I won't be tuning in since I made a promise not to do anymore Innovates that's all. It could be perfectly fine for all I know! :)

good point.

Actually, I think their pricing has gotten worse just over the past six months. Not sure why, I mean I know they always price premium and not at "It's a steal!" - but I wonder if it's not near the sell prices they are getting. I mean, they are selling a Boss 302 right now for more than it cost new, which is stupid.

Why buy someones headache!!!

Innovates are that hard to tune?

It's appropriate for Bellevue IMHO (Not stupid business practice at all). If some idiot will pay it, I would ask premium prices also. People with money are not necessarily smart.
Example: people shop at Nordstroms before they shop at Nordstrom's Rack. Same expensive shit, yet half the price.

I will never deal with Park Place again if I don't have to. They've consistent let me down in terms of customer service and are downright rude at times. I took my Exige in once to have the clutch replaced and they ended up forgetting to reinstall the transmission side engine mount. Amateur hour.

No, let's just say that it's not the most well put together kit out there. There's certainly better SC options out there for even money that won't put your motor at risk.
