I was looking at all trims - Premium, Limited, Series.Blue. I got the most expensive one, but I got all of the trims down to ~$3k off msrp. I got the bells and whistles (and blue interior and the body kit) for 2k over the very base scion's msrp.

I'm 22 and I commute ~60 miles each day for work. I figured if I'll spend that much time in the car I'd rather have something I enjoy. Love every inch of the car.
But then you have a BRZ and everybody knows that the FRS is made better (especially the Lava ones)!
You can haggle with Scion, just not on the posted price. This does not mean you can't get a great deal on dealer add ons such as exhaust, springs, tint, intakes, etc. Depending on what you are after this can work out really well. There are some great deals on Monograms and 10 Series out there if you look hard enough.
