California is a massively different market from Washington. Locally there are 25+ FRS marked up to over $30k and roughly the same listed under $26k with everything else falling in the middle.

The only thing Pure Price guarantees is that the advertised price is the price you pay, the dealership is totally within their rights to place a $3,000 leather seat cover kit or $4,000 'aftermarket navigation' and those cars were selling (I passed on both). It's easy to say 'just go to another dealer' but when over 90% of the dealers within a 200 mile radius know that they can markup without repercussion (sorry sir we only sell cars with the $900 clear bra that only covers the front bumper) it's a pain in the ass.

Sorry, I was not happy with my buying experience at any Toyota dealership in the area, Pure Price was used against me (We have no control over what options are added, 'we're sorry' despite violating the contract we agreed to when you placed a deposit) and I pray I never walk onto a dealership lot again.

I'd like to think I was a simple customer, base FRS with a manual, no options for MSRP, I think I'd rather perform my own root canal than try to find another FRS in the area.
