NorCal: Stevens Creek Scion
Good: They currently have an Asphalt FR-S in a manual transmission available.
Bad: I went there this morning, and saw a small list of dealer installed accessories after MSRP.
- MSRP $24,200
- Ashtray $25
- Carpeted Trunk Mat $95
- Rear Bumper Applique $69
- Wheel Locks $67
- Paint Protection Film $395
- TOTAL $25,592 (adds $730 for delivery and handling fee)
Ugly: I then saw another sticker on the front windshield containing a hand written list of additional crap.
- Xzilon Paint Protector $995
- OEM audio $1995
- Protection Package $1995
- NEW TOTAL (yikes!) $30,567
Really ugly: While I was staring at the last list of overpriced mystery items, a salesman came out to see how I was doing. I asked what exactly was all this additional stuff. He said, "I don't know. They just installed it." I looked at him in disbelief. Then he told me the doors were unlocked so if I wanted to take a look, then I could go ahead. And then without saying another word, he went back inside the showroom and never came back!
This was an amazing experience I just had, and not in the good sense. I figured that the Paint Protector is probably just paint sealant. The OEM audio hasn't been installed (see pictures below), and for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what the protection package was. There was definitely a clear bra covering the front 1/3 of the hood, which I presume was the "Paint Protection Film".
Anyway, here are a few pictures of this astonishing find. Buyer beware.
