Hello! I have been in the market for a Scion FR-S recently and I am quite excited about it.

Initially the battle was between the 2014 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0t base vs. 2014 Scion FR-S (automatic)

I drove the Fr-S and fell in love with the drive... Can't imagine how great manual would feel if I actually knew how to drive stick haha.

The problem is that I have to stay on a 25k budget excluding taxes and dealer fees (I would imagine getting one for 25k with tax and dealer fees would be impossible), but my local dealer has one up for 28800. This includes their exclusive warranty offer that I really don't care about, and they valued my trade in at $0.

My current car is a hand me down 1998 Buick LeSabre with a few problems: the roof cloth of the car is falling off, and the driver side door has a problem where it doesn't open all the way due to a small collision to a gas station pole.

In comparison to the local dealer, I managed to find the exact car I want in a dealership at Alabama using Autotrader.com, but it's a hell of a better deal.

2015 Scion Fr-S with rear spoiler, 650 miles on it and only 25,150!

Why is there such a big price discrepancy?

and lastly, if I can't meet this budget, I'll be getting a genesis 2.0t instead. Is there anyone who can give me an unbiased opinion on this car in comparison to the FR-S?

Here are the links to both cars:

Alabama Dealer: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...79565679&Log=0

EDIT: Looks like the one from Alabama dealership is gone... could not find it on their website.
